Caerphilly Ram Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 14 minutes ago, trappatoni said: Maybe ask about how our first team recruitment works - who identifies targets and does Warne have final say. That information is out there in various interviews and the club forum from September I think. Along the lines of a committee process involving the “football executive” (Warne, Pearce, Thomas and maybe others) with Warne and ultimately Pearce/Clowes due to finance having the final say.

MadAmster Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Why does he think it should be all about getting round the back and giving crosses. Down the middle is a decent tactic that seems completely overlooked and the oppo knows what we are going to do. Shouldn't he be varying tactics in the game to prevent the oppo being able to set up to stop crosses and, effectively, neutering whoever we have up top?

May Contain Nuts Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Mick Brolly said: Don't you think there will be changes in the playing staff if we went up Of course, but it's a big concern that Warne doesn't seem to be showing an ability to produce a team which is better than the sum of its parts , so unless the quality of player we sign upon promotion raises the overall quality of the squad to mid/lower-mid table standard it's unlikely our recruitment will cover for his shortcomings. We'd need some very good recruitment, but his recruitment so far hasn't inspired much confidence. That could change when we have more free reign, however. As I said yesterday his last attempt at Championship management was actually on track for survival, so there's some hope there, but we also don't know how the rest of the season would have played out.

hintonsboots Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Why don’t we play 4-2-4 with two defensive midfielders shielding the back four and forget about the midfield ? How many long diagonals can Cash play per game without collapsing from exhaustion ? When the main aim is getting the ball into the box, why do we take quick free kicks and then give the ball away ? Why do we need 2 players for a corner kick, with one trotting off and being nowhere near the box when said corner is delivered ? Why oh why oh why….I could go on.

Primarily an opportunity for DCFC to promote hospitality and conferencing to businesses in Derby but apparently time for a little Q&A with Stephen Pearce and Paul Warne. What sensible questions would you ask if you got chance to ask something? Does Bird need a lift to Hull? Dcfcsr92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtastic56 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I would love to know if MM actually told Pearce what was going on ? I will never forget Pearce going on radio Derby to announce “ The club is being run jointly by MEL and the SHEIKH “. hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I may be misremembering and filling in gaps Last I heard Thomas was concentrating on restocking the academy. Maybe ask if that is still the case. It does seem a disproportionate number of targets come from players Warne has had previously or else been established league 1 players that Warne would know. One way to describe our recruitment would be unimaginative. Under Rooney we got Plange and Ebiowei - those kind of signings don't seem to be happening. The philosophy seems to be they've done it in league 1 for them so they'll do it for us. There's not enough go out and find a player who has done it at a lower level or another league who has the potential to step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The Academy is apparently ahead of schedule after the decimation of administration What is the plan for developing these players into first team members & why were they so underused during the EFL Trophy campaign?
