How do you take my post as suggesting I disagreed with you? Quite the opposite. It’s such a statement of the bleeding obvious that we need a 20 goal striker (just like everybody else) that it hardly needs discussing. 

It's a shame people can only form their opinions on players based on what Sky pundits (who are paid to create talking points) and slow motion replays tell them.
If you look at Fozzy's "stamp" in real time, he is just trying to extricate himself from the tangle. Not looking, no intent but they insist on making a meal of it.
Similarly the Forest equaliser in real time - appalling marking, crisp shot. Roos did well to nearly get down to it and many keepers (Marshall included) wouldn't have got anywhere near. But play it in slo-mo, it's suddenly an "error". 

Disappointing result, and I thought quite a flat performance for a local Derby. To be fair Lawrence played really well, but at no point after we scored did I think it would end anything other than 1 - 1. We started the second half like we had a halftime kip. They were pretty rubbish, and we still didn’t have the resources to get the win we needed.  Going to be a tough season.

We’ve had an easy start to the season. Run of tougher games now coming up after the break. I’m not hopeful we will pick up any wins for a while

He can do his dancing tiktok videos all he likes when he is performing, and scoring, consistently in the league. A good performance against Sheff Utd Reserves in a tinpot cup tie doesn’t obscure the fact that he hasn’t delivered a great deal where and when it matters. Hopefully he will have a really good game for us on Saturday.

These things happen organically, you can't force them.
Didn't Stoke adopt Delilah when someone was shouting to their friend Tom Jones further ahead in the crowd, for instance?

Quite funny that people come on here criticising people for being a little bit mean about the ‘commentator’, but there are literally 100s of threads that openly abuse the owner, manager and individual players!
 
I’d be more than happy to see all ‘abusive’ posts removed on the off-chance the individuals mentioned might see them. However, from what I’ve read on this thread, it mostly seems to be reasonable criticism of the persons work (which is in the public eye and thus open to critique).  I don’t know the man personally (I walked past him on the Cromford Canal path a few weeks ago but doubt that makes us friends) so would never comment on his personality. He might be a lovely man off air. However, it is fair to say that I find his ‘commentary’ excruciating.  That isn’t being abusive, it is merely a ‘review’ (much as I might a tv show or film). If I don’t like a tv show, I don’t watch it. As it is, I can’t listen to RD. 
 
I really don’t know where people get this ‘passion’ thing from. I assume it is from people who equate endless moaning and negativity as passion (perhaps reflecting and rationalising their own way of supporting the club?). Is it the shouting that equates to passion? Not for me. Noise is just noise.  Is it, as other people say, the way that every time the ball is in our half, the inflection in his voice makes you assume they’re about to score? I must admit that I often have the same feelings, but it isn’t passion.
My Dad can no longer go to the games due to age. However, he listens to RD and I can honestly say that when we talk about the matches, it’s like we were watching two different games. If the commentary gives you the wrong impression of what has happened, then it isn’t good commentary. But then, perhaps I’m not passionate enough?

You mean your not inspired by 5 minutes of apoplectic rage about an opposition throw in on the half way line, followed by a further minutes about reffing some U12s team and the 15.30 train from Hull to Filey appearing in the distance followed by a couple of Canadian Geese.

I’ve said before on here - a good commentator should paint a picture of what’s happening - Dawes couldn’t paint a fence…..

I want to know what is happening not what crap he thinks about the game or the club. It's not the Ed Dawes show but he thinks it is. He's boring with it too.

What a difference this fella makes to listening on the radio.
Finally, a commentary that provides a decent picture in your mind of where the ball is on the pitch, what the level of threat is at that moment, and doesn't leave you fearing every single moment your team isn't in possession.
Vast improvement on Ed Dawes, imo.

I think that if you look at the personal details of their players, a majority are over 6 foot, with 4 or 5 of them being in excess of 6ft 3in. It was quite intimidating watching the players marking each other at corners and free kicks. It seemed that every one of the Derby players was marking a player much taller than he was. But credit to our lads, they handled it magnificently.
As a supporter and for anyone with knowledge of football and/or physics, it was obvious that Boro's strengths were going to be from free kicks and corners. Surprise, surprise, they went down like ninepins within 40 yards from goal and that idiot of a ref and his assistant bought every one of them. It was telling that Boro got so many yellow cards, all from cynical fouls which were the only ones the ref felt obliged to give to us.
Typical, nasty anti football from a Warnock side.
