Walkley Ram Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Anyone who's keen on Cook is in for a shock if you think Warne is out of his depth now. Cook was awful for Ipswich, look how much they kicked on once he was replaced with someone competent. The Scarlet Pimpernel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old tray boy Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Really , what short memories some supporters have ! We are defending well ,creating chances however the one thing we lack is a Hector like goal poacher.If we could just find a gem to snap up some of the chances we are creating l feel we would be at least top three.Who could do better than Warne ?

All we need is a player in the same mould as our greatest ever goalscorer and we'll be fine. InstaRam, jimtastic56 and McMuffin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one here can possibly expect Clowes to fork out the cash for that, so it comes down to the fans to put their money where their mouths are. Get a collection started and do it. No?

And enough of people who don't like polls but still read and reply on threads with polls. And enough of people with no sense of humour (admittedly the joke was spoilt when @Boycie unnecessarily added the third option). Oh yeah, and enough of Warne - decent bloke and all that but tactically "incompatible" with the values I hold for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially at home where under Warne we have only won 2 league games since the begining of March. Yes that 11 matches with just 2 wins, both a miserly 1-0 result. That’s relevant to my post how?

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Rational head on, Portsmouth and yesterday are 4 points dropped then we are 3rd on 18 points and we would be a happier camp, so not all terrible. This bring said, this season is not an easy watch for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 We cannot start sacking managers on the back of 4 game unbeaten streaks. It's L1. It's a grind. We're clearly progressing. Chill your beans people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Every time that I have seen a club sign a lot of new players in one go, the club has struggled in the first half of the season. We were always going to be inconsistent to start with and won't properly gel until Christmas. I've also read that posters are convinced that we have a big budget. I don't believe that to be the case. We're restricted by the business plan and several of the signings at the start of last season are likely to be on relatively high wages. I'd suggest that Warne's budget has been very mid-table. Of course none of us will actually find out until the accounts surface. I'm concerned that Warne appears unable to get the team to play in the style that he describes, but I honestly think that many of his more vocal critics are being somewhat unrealistic. Warne has been hamstrung by the business plan and the need to add so many players. IMO, most managers would finding things tough. Success this season will look like being in the top half as we go into 2024 and then being the best team in the league in the last half of the season. The only problem is that I don't think Warne will survive to see the upturn. I've never seen a manager remain at Derby County for more than a few days after loosing the fans. IMO, Warne is only one abject performance away from match day protests and our situation almost guarantees that at least one of the next three games will see a poor performance. My prediction is Warne will be gone in the next fortnight. Ridiculously, I can see McClaren coming in and actually getting us promoted.

Midtable (12th / 13th) would put us at around £6m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have been able to increase the percentage against turnover, but projected turnover will be lower, so ending with the same budget. Hourihane, Mendez-Laing, Collins, Smith, Barkhuizen and and possibly Wildsmith are all likely to be on more than average, so it's likely that the first £2m is already spoken for. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
