Is Warne living on borrowed time?

[WystonRam]

We clearly cannot play three at the back with the players we have. He had ample opportunities to change tonight but persisted trying to shoehorn substitutions into a 3-5-2, that looked like 3-6-1 for most of the game, if he cannot see it doesn’t work, at least for now , then he is on borrowed time.

If that carries on, a Tuesday night in November we will be lucky to get 15k through the turnstiles.

Nah come on now, some of the home performances under Paul Jewell were totally cringeworthy 

Yes but I am making allowance for the opposition. Losing 6-2 to Arsenal is not as bad as losing to Fleetwood. We drew against Man City under Jewell.. couldn't imagine that now. 

[Sparkle]

The thing I dislike about his interviews is when he starts going on about other teams and how they are good at this and that and how we might not be as good - it’s the third division, get a grip because it does nothing to improve optimism if we were ever promoted under him.

He absolutely lost me when he said we might not have as good a team as Oxford.

Not only are we derby effing county, we signed their head of recruitment. The absolute absurdity of that comment has annoyed me so much I've gone for another beer.

I WONDER WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THAT PAUL.

do you want some more? it is a complete myth our only market is ageing journeymen, the whole division is signing younger players this is not a market that is closed to us

Maybe we tried to sign some of them maybe they wanted longer contracts or more money who knows

You’re right I should have expected someone who has scored about as many goals as Eiran Cashin in the last two years to come on and do that - give over

What gets even worse is the profile of players we have gone for if we don’t go up it will be a total rebuild again. We can’t sell players and reinvest the money. We wanted peak age fit players between 22 and 29 and players being linked are 30 and over. We need pace but we start with Collins bird smith hourihane and nml who looks bolloxed after 30 minutes. A left wing back in fozzy who has had 3 act’s and is expected to get up and down and has 0 pace. We sell our only box to box midfielder and haven’t replaced him and to top it off we bring Thompson on who can get around and play him at lwb

If we can't beat clubs like Lincoln to players then we might as well give up now.

Oh wait. We have.

I meant the point about us not having the players in the building. But you're right.

We’ve gone through managers at an incredible rate this past decade and it’s never worked out. I feel like right now you have to hope this is just a new team that’s struggling to gel in a new system.

Don’t agree with the booing and calls for a sacking this early on in the season. 

I think the reality is that Warne won’t be going any time soon due to the financial situation and his track record

Can imagine he’ll be given until the end of this season. Maybe he’s the Nigel Clough type and we’ll need another manager to push what he’s building forwards? If that ends up being the case, I’ll be fine with it

I personally believe you need a period of stability in safe hands before you can have a period of long term success

However, I can at least understand why you’d want him out. That was an extremely bad performance, unusually poor even for this early in the season and the first few games have been eye opening as to where we’re at. Three promotions with Rotherham doesn’t count for any points and we look bereft of confidence.

I think it’s tough to say he’s he bad transfer windows due to the embargo’s but January wasn’t great, McGoldrick leaving looks bad and we look like we’ve completely failed to improve the squads obvious lack of physicality. Washington, Waghorn and Collins sounds horribly one paced.

Desperately need:

1. Sibley back

2. Athletic signing up top, whether that’s a big lad or a quick lad

3. Another creative midfielder

Can’t see us getting the quality we need anywhere else other than through loan signings, which is kind of praying for a couple of miracles.

Clough steadily improves sides. I think he has an amazing record of only finishing lower than the previous season 3 times in his management career. 

What is it about our performances this season that makes you think he's improving us?

That really annoyed me tonight. The club the size of derby and our manager saying an Oxford team is better than ours. He was allowed to bring 7 of the players in. Should of known after he brought springett and Harvey white in what we were in for

You can’t blame him for your need for a beverage 

[Mr. P]

Yes, Jake Buxton and his plastic bag are ready to take charge of first team duties. He did a wonderful job at Burton.

Looking at our fixtures we could be 10+ points adrift of the top two by the time September arrives.

 

The way things are going we could be 10 points adrift of Wigan before long.....

[Ram a lamb a ding dong]

Fwiw.

The only reason we finished top half was because of DM's goals. Without him we would have finished nowhere.

The players brought in have made us weaker and 3 statuesque central defenders offers nothing.

No pace

No passing 

No clue

Players looked to me that they want him gone 

[G-Ram]

I hope there is a press release at 9am tomorrow that he's gone. Put me out of my misery.

Rammie can take training until we find someone probably has more clue than Warne
