Hector was the best

Just as an aside, I watched the match on the Wycombe channel last night as Rams TV was buffering. 

They had 2 commentators who sounded like 2 guys from the pub.

They kept saying how impressed they were with Conor Washington 😵‍💫

They also said how much we have improved since they saw us earlier in the season.

Absolutely astounded by both comments.

Yes I watched on the Wycombe channel and thought how much they were "bigin us up" I thought are they seeing what I am.

Me too 

They were miles better than us, but I thought we were going to steal the points, but could not believe the c***-up at the end.

I’d agree that Cashin hasn’t been at his best. Bird is a class above the players around him which makes him look less effective.

True, however he is to lightweight.

We need ( for the older audience ) a Willie Carlin, Barry Bannan, type midfielder with some bite and skill.

I keep hearing our players are a class above,what do you think.

It’s a shambles at the moment, I’ve stopped going as sadly lesson planning for my students is  a more enthusiastic task then entering pride park at the moment. we are a joke at the moment and I can’t see much exciting happening, the results are inconsistent, the atmosphere at pride park is dead and the relationship between the fans and the club is slowly cracking. At the end of the day he has a four year deal. If I was Clowes I’d really be considering his position because it’s not just a blasé decision of replace the manager , I can see the attendances dropping off especially now a lot of the rearranged fixtures are midweek. Personally I’d give him 10-15 games to sort it out if we are 10 points of the playoffs he’s gone 

Paragraphs??

The lads are having a right good go now. Credit where it's due, don't think you can fault the effort of many of them. They've not just rolled over.

To little to late.

Sounds like we have woke up at the end.😥

Seen enough of Warne and his crap tactics,go now.

Warne out, needs to go I have seen enough crap from him.

Keogh did well enough to represent Ireland regularly…rarely let us down.

Can't forget the QPR playoffs, still have nightmares 😢

I'd be a) gobsmacked and b) VERY disappointed if Bird went. 

I agree he has been excellent in pre season and not one we should sell unless the price is right.

Derby v QPR at Wembley springs to mind!

Still not got over that one 

Watching the game live on Bein sports the Liverpool lads are showing us how to pass the ball to their own player's

Can I play the politician and answer your question with a question? (not that one, the next one ?)

What is the system that we should be playing in the meantime? (does anyone know?)

Also, how many new players are needed to fit the PW system?

 

OK, now I'll behave and try to answer from my opinion: yes, I think we should mostly stick with the way PW wants to play.

I think Collins (when well behaved) and Knight fix a lot that wasn't working last night.

I think the back 3 works best for our players anyway (we don't have a right-back and we have three - arguably five - good centre-halves... most of the time). I think Barkhuizen and NML have been fine at WB - not brilliant, and in the case of NML not as effective as he was at RW, but still fine. (Barkhuizen wasn't at all good last night, but that's one match). We could recruit better suited players for those positions, I don't doubt it.

The Hourihane-Bird issue is not specific to PW's style and on the whole Bird has looked better under PW than he did under LR. 

Similarly, last night both Osula and Dobbin looked like they couldn't trap a bag of cement. They didn't look like that at Accrington. Sometimes players don't play well, for whatever reason. I saw good team performances at Cambridge and Accrington and enjoyed the style. I don't see that the PW system is a problem, but I do see that our squad is neither large enough nor varied enough to give us a real fighting chance (with any system) as things stand right now.

Over to you @Jimbo Ram - what do you say?

"Osula and Dobbin looked like they couldn't trap a bag of cement". Needs addressing.

Rojo 

Is PW the driving force or is it more of a team effort ? And does he bring the tactical nous or is it one of the others ?

You will be wanting to know his inside leg measurement next.??

Just like to make a simple point....... "Play OUT from the back, OK"............ "Play AT the back NO"

In those mad 15 mins at the start of the second half Lawrence was doing his best to WIND UP Gallagher, what a stupid prat he is.

His contribution to our cause is to get sent off ,miss 3 games and last night did nothing apart from missing a sitter. What a plonker.

After only 3 mins Thompson received a "hospital" pass through, messing about at the back, and he lost it. There forward Ward had a "one on one" on goal and Stearman had to make that lunge which resulted in a red card.

We should mix up playing out, with long balls and not be so predictable so easy for teams to press us and cause problems ....certainly did last night. 

Signed and paid I love my club

" A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush" Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.  

I have been supporting the Rams since the 50tis and now live in Rawtenstall just south of Burnley. Hope we get this takeover mess sorted a.s.p.a. Come on you Rams.

I can anyone tell me if the game is on to-night? I live near Burnley and the pavements are very ice covered here.
