When we're like this, we look like a side with all the downsides of a team trying to play expansive football without trying to play expansive football.

Not sure how we manage to be so timid in attack, whilst at the same time leaving ourselves vulnerable enough to be in a 2 v 2 at the back for that second goal.

Because we are slower than slow. No one can get back. Old and running in treacle. 

[TomTom92]

Brain trust at it again.

[May Contain Nuts]

Warne has never given a s*** about his tactics leaving us open to chances on the break, and on the rare occasions when when a team actually takes advantage of the situation, well, this happens.

As pointed out by the commentary, why have we left it 2 against 2 at the back with everyone else miles up the pitch?

This is really poor. Bradley doing what Bradley does best. Amazing how his good game for us came against a team who didn’t get in our half. 

[Kooklaram]

A team full of 30 + year olds who are just after payslips against hungrier younger players.

Utter garbage 

Do not let Warne sign any players in Jan he can't be trusted with the money

Nail on head there.

Transfers probably.

Thought we had a transfer embargo

[IlsonDerby]

Tried defending the performance but sod it, sack them all. Sell as many players as possible. Start again. 
 

2-0 down to Crewe’s reserves 

[G-Ram]

Maybe if we can get it out wide and get some aimless crosses in then we might pull it back 🙄

[Cam the Ram]

Manage to catch Warne and Barker having a few games of noughts and crosses the other day. Both of them refused to be noughts for some reason ...

It really is hopeless. Big changes required immediately. 

Starting with the manager.

Another false dawn it seems. Every decent performance this season has been followed by an absolute farce.

[Ted McMinn Football Genius]

Our shooting boots have defo been left in Derby.

Crewe deserve to be winning, no complaints here.

[Rammy03]

I'll be amazed if we turn this around

[Heisenberg]

Can’t believe we’re stuck with this nobber in charge.

Going absolutely nowhere fast.

THIS IS SHOCKING

sacked after game please they don't want to play for him 

Pathetic 

Agreed, this is very poor but the chances of hm getting sacked after the game are close to zero I'd guess. Did they want to play for him against Northampton? I usually find the comment "not wanting to play for the manager" a lazy excuse for either poor tactics or just poor play.

Barks cuts inside and hits a shot that Geoff Boycotts Granny would have been proud of.🙄

[DavesaRam]

Our body language is terrible

So why are we playing with such a high line?

Commentators just called us an "elite league one side". No excuse for them not to have done their homework before the game.

[Ramos]

HOW MANY TAME TEPID SHOTS CAN THIS TEAM TAKE - somebody bloody get some jimmy grimble boots on and leather it 

[GeneralRam]

At least he’ll win the next game and save his job.
