Keep warne on and crowds will drop, 4/5k drop at £20 ahead is nearly 100k a game. Sack him, then you need to pay him and his assistant's their contracts. Big decision, but personally I'd get rid. It looks like he's lost the dressing room, the fan base are turning on him at a rapid rate. Even more so is that with each game our assets who will command a fee ( Bird/Cashin) look lost in this anti football warne has adopted and there price is dropping. We need a club that has youngsters coming through and we still have rooney,Thomson,sibley along with bird and cashin who I would want to build a team around but it requires a manager who understands technical abilities and Warne is one who doesn't.

Different players and different opponents. Same as many are certain it was a mistake to replace LR. We simply don't know how last season would have panned out let alone this one if LR had been kept on. Agreed. It's not as simple as this. Not convinced his style would have brought promotion in this league. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonRam Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 This season so far is shaping up to be similar to last season. On current form, we'll get very little from the top 6 teams but should be able to take 4 points from the 17 teams below 7th place. 17 teams x 4 points = 68. In other words...erm...7th place again.

Many teams have got promoted including Forest by keep rolling the dice until lady luck shines down accordingly. Sticking with a manager has some well know historical examples where it proved the right choice. But it happens hardly anywhere in the EFL or Premiership these days reflecting commercial realities. The club may have to do what others do as a matter of survival. Clowes has an investment to protect. TomTom92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Is Warne living on borrowed time?...Yes! There's an old saying in football...you're only as good as your last game, I went to the Wigan game but followed the other 2 home games on here, There's not too many posters I disagree with as most see it how it is, No sugar coating, No blinkers on just tell it how it is. There's posters who have been positive over the summer and still as positive after the Blackpool game, But last night I get a feeling that PW is losing a lot of support from here, Is this a sign that DCFC fans in general are feeling the same...boooooing at home aint good, There's been those that have been vocal and negative for some time with PWs style of play...and to sum these posters up...they look to be right. David Clowes the saviour of DCFC a year ago had better be aware...which I think he will be as he's a fan so he'll be know the feeling at this moment in time, He may have locked himself into a 4 year financial capsule where a sacking will cost, Being a Fan and a business man are 2 ends of the same road, Emotions will take you one way where finances take you another...unless PW walks if results do not improve DC has a decision to make...does he stick or twist 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Warne and personally don't want to see him go, I do however agree and think he needs to switch tactics. I can't really see how he got promoted with Rotherham if this was his style with them (guess work no idea). League 1 defenders really aren't that good, I'd say the one strength they have is being big and heading away, playing into channels and crossing all game is playing to their only strength. Run at them with pace we'll cause problems, we're a fine example of that we've signed defenders apparently too good for this league and they look like they've been scouted from a pub team how they crumble under a bit of pace and direct play.

Leeds Ram Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Thinking about it rationally, I can't envisage a scenario this year where Warne gets the sack. The investment of a 4 year contract and our limited finances must be too large. However, I can see a scenario where the fan base becomes so toxic Warne can't handle the pressure and walks out. He'll resign if he doesn't right the ship in the next 10 games. You can see the fans turning already on him. He's not used to having 25,000 people boo or shout at him, and it must take its toll.

Gary Teale Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Lets not believe Warne cant always stop the rot, he does have 2 relegation's on his CV, 3 if you count 2017 as he was temp manager from November. My worry is for the first time in a long time, when I watch us i am not sure what we are trying to do, well apart from lump it and hope we score from Set pieces. The centre backs he has brought in show he doesn't want to play passing football, they are awful on the ball. therealhantsram and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I wonder if we did any training passing the ball today, or whether it was an hour and a half of running topped off by a jocular Warne showing Wash how to swivel his hips, and handing Waghorn a mug?

LeedsCityRam Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 3 hours ago, Kokosnuss said: He wowed people with his work at Rotherham, getting them promoted 3 times was like some sort of magic trick That is the most misleading statement I constantly see about Warne since he landed at Derby - as you rightly say, it's almost like a magic trick at this stage. Below are Rotherham's last 9 seasons - 6 of them at Championship level & 3 of them at League One. Warne presided over 3 of those 6 Championship seasons & in every one, he relegated them. By contrast, Neil Redfearn, Neil Warnock & Matt Taylor (last season) kept them up in the respective seasons they were in charge. Warne's promotions were all with a recent Championship squad - he did not build it from scratch, he had an inbuilt advantage with their recent division & returned them to where they had generally been. Stating 'promoted three times' sounds like successive promotions when in reality it was correcting his own poor performance from the season previously; As to the general point about Warne's future, the atmosphere both in the ground & on social media suggest he is very much living on borrowed time. His failure to reach the playoffs in May was met with a very muted reaction as people seemed to believe the summer would allow him to put his imprint on the squad both from a personnel & a tactical standpoint. Having shown such patience after throwing away a playoff spot in Feb/March, there now appears to be delayed anger at the very poor start & I can't say I'm surprised. Obviously the recruitment situation hasn't totally played out until the window closes but I have been thoroughly confused as to the direction of travel. We needed pace throughout the team, we needed midfield aggression & we have not addressed either. Warne's teams like to press high but we buy slow defenders who struggle against the counter attack. We lose a pivotal forward who gave us goals & creativity & replace him belatedly with two burly workhorses up top. Clowes says he has the budget to compete & I would trust that - Warne by contrast is now speaking in riddles on the radio about private reasons why all isn't as it seems. Not the kind of comments to help your future employment prospects when your team is playing so badly.

Ramarena Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Well last night started the clock ticking for sure. I’d say if things don’t improve over the next 5 games, then he’s out of options and it’s a case of does he walk, or does DC have to bite the bullet. It’s starting to look like a bit of a lost cause. The midfield is a huge problem, no movement, not showing for passes, etc. It was summed up at one point for me in the first half when Cash had the ball was looking for options with Hourihane and Smith stood within 2 meters of each other, Hourihane was watching Cash and Smith was looking at floor, they were both stood behind an Oxford midfielder. Cash had no other option but to go long and give it away, as Oxford had the wingbacks covered. If Warne can at least get the midfield to function it will ease the problems in other areas and we might slowly pick up performance-wise, however if he can’t fix that midfield in the next few weeks then he’s done.

MadAmster Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Zonal defending works perfectly. I've never seen a zone score. However, we seem to have forgotten that opposition players DO score goals. Just maybe, we might start marking those rather than a zone? RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Warne makes a big thing about the type of players who can play week in, week out in front of 30,000 people.

TomTom92 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Think the end is nigh. Warne’s going to need a serious turn around to survive medium to long term. Even if our results even out, are people going to accept a 12th place finish with the inevitable poor performances that such a finish entails? There’s discussions to be had on recruitment, interview answers etc which we’ve started already. But if the fans feel as negative as they do now that isn’t going to change with a win against Fleetwood. Especially when Bolton and Peterborough are waiting around the corner. Think from Warne’s demeanour he knows it too. However, he has the cushion of compensation to make his tears go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
