Exactly this, there’s no steel in this team and there hasn’t been for a good few seasons now. You only have to look at how bad our away record has been for the last 3-4 years. We’ve consistently wilted in games where other teams have stuck it on us.

1 defeat in 11 games (18 goals scored, 8 goals conceded) and Mad Mel starts pacing and screaming in the changing room...
We failed to win the next 6, scoring only 3 goals and conceded 12. Clement sacked prior to game 6.
The REAL turning point in the season?

With McKenna being ruled out for the season yesterday, they must be down to the bare bones!

Thought Collins was absolutely superb last night, would be ecstatic to see ua go for him in the summer. A real stand out player for them in the middle of the park last night.

Interestingly the “decent long range shot” you mention was his worst moment of the game for me and showed his severe lack of football intelligence. We’ve managed to win the ball high up the pitch creating a 3v2 in our favour, instead of drawing a defender out and playing one of his team mates in, he’s toon a shot on from 20-25 yards and missed the target. We’re seriously lacking in goals from around the pitch, Didzy has scored our last 4 or 5 goals, if we’re going to be successful in our quest for the playoffs it’s vital other players start pitching in with goals, but that means making the right decisions when opportunities present themselves.

Oh 100%. I’d quite happily sell Jason Knight in the summer as well, a great engine but severely lacking in end product. Played his best games this season at RB

Thought the tweak in formation worked better last night, especially after half time. Looked more like a 3-4-3 last night which meant NML was playing 15-20 yards further up the pitch. Swap Sibley for Barks or dobbin and this could be a decent set up to finish the season with. 

On the back of a an away win, so I'm not seen as reactive to a poor result, I'll nail my colours to the mast regarding Warne.
 
Lovely bloke, good people person, but a very limited football manager in terms of how he sees the game.
 
Today we played a team cut adrift at the bottom of the league, one win in the last 23 if I heard Owen correctly, yet we owed our goals chiefly to their unbelievably naive, schoolboy level defending.
 
We are not seeing the best of our squad, because we have a manager who believes football is chiefly an athletic pursuit, rather than a game of skill, and cunning, with athleticism allowing the skill and cunning to prosper.
 
We've appointed a smiley Charlie Hughes, basically. 
 
Playing midfield under Warne at the moment is a thankless task, watching balls from the back hoofed over your head into the channels, waiting to pounce on the oppositions mistakes to win those second balls, all the while not wanting to leave the back door open. 
 
We don't have the squad to play his way, so we'll limp on till the end of the season, a make do and mend team, even if we somehow end up in the play offs, even if we end up winning them, until he gets the summer, and further windows, to put his stamp on the club
 
By which point, I'm not convinced that a team Paul Warne has crafted will be one I particularly want to watch, week in, week out.
 

I sit/stand in this block, been in there for about 14 years. The age dynamic of the block has changed in the last 18 months, some regulars dropped out post Covid and it’s been replaced with younger lads. You’re right, the standing just happened at some point last season, personally I prefer to stand. Atmosphere has been largely improved in that area in the last 18 months as well, really hope the club doesn’t spoil it by trying to clamp down on standing. 

All very close? Theirs was two yards! 
Hourihane marginal but I think offside, Diddy looked onside.
Stills from RamsTV.
 

This may sound slightly odd but I feel the timing of our goal went against us. We were under the cosh and about to ring the changes just as we scored. Naturally PW hesitated on the subs, would have been a bold decision to sub Collins just after he equalised but in truth, he wasn’t having a great afternoon. After a few minutes the game settled back into its natural pattern and they were creating chances again, terrible marking from the set piece and it’s 2-1.

Bon Jovi’s It’s my life 
Craig Forsyth 
He’s a rams defender                            and he is gonna play forever
He’s the guy on which you’d stake your life
Craig Forsyth 

Is this lad one of the best interviewers ever? His questions are interesting, he speaks well, his facial expressions beg a good answer, and the players obviously rate him.
Sign him up!
Good luck anyway, young fella. Your career is mapped out. Go for it!
 

Here are some from earlier in this thread:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There were also some "the next Nigel Pearson" early on that I should have copied in.

It's not even that Warne is using a 'traditional, pragmatic style.' It's just better football, by a long way. We play quickly, we score goals, we press the life out of teams. It's a great watch. 

We do need one now mate.
If there's any long term injury to Cashin or Forsyth we're gonna have Davies or Stearman having to play 3 games a week which neither of them are up to.
Infact to be honest, neither of them look up to 90 minutes.
We need a Right back and a striker too.

I fully expect this man to be in a fatal car crash or found tied up after shooting him self in the back of the head in coming weeks.
