TINMANTED Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If Warne is allowed to persist in playing 3 at the back and eventually the players click,and it starts working,it might be too late to turn the season round,we start all over again in league 1 next season with a mainly new squad of players doing exactly the same again.for me clowes needs to sit Warne down for a lengthy chat to persuade him to change before it's too late.clowes must be seeing the same as the rest of us,and must give him a warning,change or walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no wonder that we struggle to recruit good players - or that we lose them beginning to think the way out of this league is to revert to the lampard /rooney model. At least they (and even LR) had pulling power. Who is the next Vincent Kompany It may well be the model, but I don't think we are going to deploy it. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the big reasons I don't like a back 3 in modern football, is that the majority of teams play some form of one up front. From memory all of Wigan, Blackpool and Oxford have so far. So if you're man-marking, you end up either having your wingbacks picking up their wide players, leaving 3 centre halves marking one striker. Or your wider centre halves end up picking up their wide players (which they probably aren't suited to dealing with, see Cashin), and then you've got 3 man markers picking up their front 3, and any midfielder runners end up completely free, especially with a midfield like ours. A back 3 made much more sense when most teams played 2 up front, and you could man-mark them both and still have a spare man in behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only sacked Mac, Clement and Pearson in that time with Cocu agreeing to leave by mutual consent? And mac " had his head turned " by newcastle didnt he.

Oxford's 2 goals saw Harris (#9) getting where he wanted to be without having a Derby player anywhere near him. Almost as if he had been invisible, nobody aware of where a good goal scorer was. Shouldn't happen. David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 We've had a poor start to the season no question.

TomTom92 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Genuinely think Warne’s time is up. Whether it’s today or in 5 matches time. The big questions are who do we bring in to replace him and how good is this squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad isn't too bad we have decent cover for most positions, it's getting them to play football well, as a team. David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which manager will want to come in and work with a squad that has been built on the premise of short term recruitment by two coaches with extremely differing styles? Which manager will want to come in and work with little to no flexibility and freedom in the transfer market, having seen most if not all of the budget swallowed up on putting together and retaining the existing group of players? Which manager will want to come in and work with a squad whose make-up is heavily skewed towards experienced players where age and physical condition is not on their side? Which manager will want to come in to lift morale and right the ship when pre-season is long gone and time on the training ground is more limited? Which manager will want to come in and reverse this worrying lurch in form and standards? Which manager will come in and like the squad he is inheriting and not see it as a weight holding us down? In the circumstances, the Derby job looks the most unattractive it has done in years, so the questions you are asking do not have simple and clear answers.

Fair enough questions but unless Clowes comes out and dampens expectations and stands by Warne ala GSE style then I can’t see how Warne stays serving up his current dish.

I think most if not all managers know what a big club Derby are. However if you are looking at things at the moment, would it look like an enticing and attractive job to walk into?
