BOB BIGGS Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 3 hours ago, RadioactiveWaste said: Do we all feel a bit better now? It’s going to be a long season. We may or may not finish in the Top 6. Clearly, we’re short of pace and it could well be that there’s no money to sort it. So, I’m happy we have a win, a clean sheet, 3 different scorers and a better performance. I don’t expect us to take the Division by storm on the back of a good win at Burton but it’s a start. I see that there is still the occasional poster who isn’t any happier. I’m not sure I understand that but each to their own. Next week will be a real test. 6 points on offer. I’d take 4 now after those first two home games. Fingers crossed that we are turning the corner and that there might still be enough in the piggy bank to attract a decent pacy midfielder on loan. I’m not holding my breath though… RadioactiveWaste, jimtastic56 and NottsRam77 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malty Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Post match yesterday was it me or was Paul Warne seemingly going through the motions of being “pleased”. It looked to me as if he was pretty ashamed and embarrassed about how he’s acted over the last week and his reaction was to be very coy over what should have been a great moment for him. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cant have not seen or been told about the negative vibes online generally and we dont know what has happened within the club, if anything. Football is brutal and would be odd if he wasnt a bit quieter yesterday. Hopefully tigger gets his bounce back very soon Caerphilly Ram, Malty, Carnero and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriot Ram99 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Hopefully we are on an upwards trajectory now after the win but we need to follow it up with a win vs Oxford to reduce the pressure on Warne and make it an alright start to the season. Lose and it will be 3 consecutive games this season we have lost at Pride Park and that is where most people are seeing us play so the pressure is on more at home. Draw wouldn't be terrible but depending on the performance wouldn't be great after the shocker at home to Blackpool last week, we need to be much better at the back and have more energy and creativity and purpose to our midfield play.

The way I read it was that we’ve got a chance of a top 2 finish, FA Cup QF minimum and I think he was trying to say they’ve already booked the hotel for the Papa Johns trophy. Correct me if I’m wrong but did anybody else think this? Malty and Caerphilly Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accuracy doesn't matter. 😀 Political Theory is often a fight over accuracy over interpretations of particular scholars. One of my PhD's biggest issues was the division between what some people thought was accurate over what a particular scholar I focused on believed.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it. I think you are reading too much into it. I don't think he came over as either embarrassed or ashamed. He just tries to not overreact regardless of the result especially a win. i don't think he will consider it a "great" moment and was honest, it wasn't a great performance in the first half. Just a much needed win. Most of us (including PW I reckon) realise that the result yesterday doesn't mean it's going to be plain sailing now. In the same way that, had we lost, whilst it would have taken the pressure up another notch, it wouldn't have meant our drive for a top two finish (or PW's time at Derby) was anywhere near over.

Loughborough Ram Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 He said before the Burton game that he was going to have to change his interviews, be less open and provide less information, after the reaction to his midweek post match comments. Who can blame him? The fans will all moan and cry now because he goes to standard manager speak and gives nothing away. As it goes in the film, "we want the truth". "You can't handle the truth".
