Not Angry.

[gm_gm]

When the team was announced yesterday it was clear to me that the team out there was being rewarded for their acheivements last season.

I can't see passed the line up to think otherwise and I don't think that we'll see it again this season.

Would agree, burt theres no room for sentiment

I completely agree gm_gm. I was surprised when I saw the team but coming to the conclusion that he's rewarded the players for last season is the only thing that makes sense.

But I'm not angry with it. I don't think that he'll do it again

I hope it is the reason to be honest.

Otherwise it suggests a number of things

Warne is a one trick pony with no alternative styles of play

Or

We didn’t do our homework on Brentford and how they play

You'll not get an argument from me on what you've said but I kind of felt it was coming and although I don't agree with it I understand why.

If he plays the same team next match I'll be less happy

Not so sure he will change it

He’s got a stubborn streak

If that happens then we're in for a hell of a long season.

I can't imagine that he'll do it though.

TS may ask why he wanted new players if the ones he had were good enough.

Maybe Tony Stewart thought they were good enough and refused to buy anyone because he didn’t think they were needed and warne showed him how wrong he was

One trick pony.

After the first couple of games last season it was clear that the plan was to play Moore and Proctor upfront as two battering rams feeding off each other (and it clearly worked, see the Southend game). Proctor did his ACL and was out for the season, so Warne adjusted, bringing David Ball back into the team and mixing it up on the deck more.

Our early season form had been patchy, especially away from home, so Warne went away from his favoured 4-4-2 at Fratton Park, playing a 4-5-1 and securing our first away win in 630 odd days. That doesn't seem very stubborn.

Or how about when we clearly had a favoured style of playing and getting Kieffer Moore involved as much as possible, but Moore got a three game ban and then was taken back to Ipswich. Warne changed the system, bought in a benchwarmer from Bury who helped us on our way to an incredible second half of the season and promotion. How many managers would have coped that well with losing their top scorer? Not many, I'd wager.

Does that seem like a one trick pony to you, NakedTruth?

Warney definitely has a stubborn streak but he’s not stupid and I’m positive he’ll change the side but maybe not as many as you think/hope

We also have the Carabao Cup next Tuesday which gives him chance to maybe look at trying players out where he thinks is needed (midfield)
