BPV Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I thought he should’ve gone when we failed to make the playoffs. However, was willing to give him a pre season to sign some players, and see how we started. We’re way, way worse than we were before. There is absolutely no excuses now. He’s prioritised defenders that are making mistakes left right and centre, leaving us with nothing to sign attacking players. Playing a system that doesn’t work for any of the players we currently have and is making them look way worse than they collectively are. It’s not working at all. Enough is enough for me.

HMMMMMM I WONDER WHY? footballers arent idiots, we are going nowhere This. I don’t get it at all. He specifically said he wanted players in the 22-27 age bracket with pace, power and athleticism, goes and signs a load over 30’s? eh? I think the transfer window has been abysmal overall, the lack of attacking signings in abundantly obvious to all and sundry Marriot Ram99 and alram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Why is Rooney in the squad if Warne has no intention of playing him? He has more football in his little finger than the Chuckle Brothers Warne signed. Surely it’s better to play him and Thompson than Bradley and Hourihane whose only running is to jog to the corner flag.

So frankly, throwing out names is useless. its not useless be fair, i was asked names when i said we can still sign younger players i am just backing up my point with names that have moved for free across the division and i assure you most will be on lower wages than most of the championship journemen we have signed we are targeting older players we are not forced to sign them there is other options the club should have explored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him gone at the end of last season when we failed spectacularly from a comfy position to maintain play offs. I regrouped and said let’s see what he looks like when he’s had a say in who we sign. We’ve gone backwards. Honestly where do you see this going? Any decent young player who knows his way around a football sold and replaced by athletes? I’ll eat humble pie in the event that I’m proved tragically wrong and he turns this around but Jesus I love Derby and his football makes me want to scratch my eyes out. We need to be aiming to be a squad (predominantly when funds allow) of younger players who are all comfortable in the ball with a coach that improves the players so we can sell and reinvest alongside integrating good academy prospects. Instead we’ve got a coach who signs players based on how likely they are to beat Darren Moore for a header.

littleover ram Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Since March he’s won 5 out of 16 league games. Lost 7. That points per game over a whole season would put us about 17th in the league Edited August 15, 2023 by littleover ram Adslegend and REDCAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonwright Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) The problem for me is I just don't see where the improvement comes from. If Warne stays this system stays - the formation, the 'tactics'. He's recruited entirely around playing exactly this way, spending the money we had on wing backs and central defenders (with Washington added to do no one-knows-what, and Waghorn as an afterthought). He doesn't seem to notice the glaring deficiencies in our midfield, because the midfield doesn't seem to feature much in his thinking about how the game should be played. He doesn't seem to notice the lack of pace or guile because they also don't feature in his 'lump it up, get it wide, corners and free kicks and the big man in the middle' blueprint. A lot of us were willing to pinch our noses and accept maybe Warne knew something we didn't. Maybe the quickest route out of League One really was telling a bunch of grizzled old lower-division veterans to whack the ball forwards and hope something happens. The problem is - if this method doesn't work, Warne doesn't seem capable of trying anything else. So we are left with these tactics, and this squad, and all we can really do is hope to find a couple of loans who can help address the massive deficiencies on show again tonight.
