NottsRam77 got a reaction from Angry Ram in Buying and Selling Shares
Have U tried etoro
u can invest small amounts and track /copy other people’s trades .. they take a tiny cut of why u make but it’s like an eBay style sort of thing where u can see reviews for them and pay performance... certainly not a quick fix or get rich quick scheme but an interesting way of doing something I enjoy but no little about

No ... but there’s not having a plan B and there’s not trying literally anything to stop the slow death that was that season ending with the spectacular capitulation to reading
he could have tried anything ...
literally anything but instead kept rolling out the same line up and style with players that cos of injuries to others didn’t suit that system and the season fell apart
Instead of trying to adapt the a system to fit what he had available

Not a lot
we don’t have a physical presence that can make it stick
rooney isn’t fit enough for 45 minutes leading effectively by himself never mind 90
and we have no quarter back who can ping it aka the Thorne roll, u could argue perhaps bielik but .. he ain’t no Thorne
so that’s plan A out of the window
I don’t remember him having a plan B

Yeah, i definitely think our next step should be a step forward and not trying to rewind the clock. We messed that period up.

We couldn’t win any game
We went on a horrendous run which saw us firmly embedded in the play offs cumulating with a last day of the season capitulation against reading at home
every week a defeat was met by his cheesey infuriating Cheshire Cat grin and a shrug of the shoulders
it was screaming out for a tweak in set up and get more bodies higher up in the absence of chris Martin
When the chips are down he’s as clueless as they come
saying that ... cocu didn’t even have an effective plan A so hey grateful for small mercies

Probably take a look at the squad and say 'where's Chris Martin'?

The plan B argument ducking grates on me. No manager has a plan B. It was a stupid criticism people came up with because we couldn't win every game. It was our fanbase being ducking spoiled.

Proofs in the pudding for them as much as us
I expect them to progress well now though,I really do.

NottsRam77 reacted to May Contain Nuts in Congratulations Bradley Johnson
Just weird imo. He's a nice guy and all and a hard worker, but he's won an award on the back of scoring a couple of goals against us in a humiliating defeat, and there's a whole thread congratulating him.
In about 30% of the games he played for us he was terrible, another 30% considerably average, 25% good, 15% quite impressive.
That wasn't just because he was played in DM or on the 'wing' (which was not out of position, it's essentially where he played for Norwich when he scored 15 goals)
His biggest problem wasn't the position he was played, it was his dearth of footballing intelligence. He was, for us, a player who didn't understand his own limitations.
He constantly tried to do things above his level of ability which usually lead to him losing the ball in stupid areas.
Once in a blue moon he'd play a defence splitting pass or something, but that's like pointing out all the times Conor Sammon showed exquisite control - it did actually happen now and then but it was a shock whenever it did rather than an expectation.
Most of the time though he'd play a really stupid pass with hardly any chance of success instead of taking the sensible option.
He often got closed down on the ball and lost it, a lot, not because there were no passes on but because you could see the cogs in his brain ticking slowly along while he dallied on the ball unaware big players around him. Like recent Rooney performances except in reverse, Rooney's body let's him down, Johnson's brain let's him down.
He also cost us plenty of goals by not following his runner at corners, similar to Hendrick in that regard.
Yes he had a bit of a rennaisance under Lampard, largely because he was the only midfielder we had with an ounce of physical presence, but as per the start of this post, for large swathes of his time here he was crap. Nothing to do with the price tag either.
There was genuinely a point where I was sick of the sight of him. I had warmed to him a bit by the end, but it doesn't overwrite all the memories of him being a liability.
A couple of long rangers, in masses of space, against us, and suddenly he's being bigged up as twice the player he is.
