    inter politics got a reaction from LeedsCityRam in Can we finally admit get it wide/cross it in works in League One?   
    Depends on the other team, some can cope better than others. Oxford, especially their young keeper were not comfortable with defending balls into the box. It's more about mixing it up and different angles of attack, don't become too predictable.

    Well that performance last night was an absolute tonic to me after a dreadful Christmas (my dad is terminally ill and has been in hospital throughout Xmas). I wasn't going to go , even though the Kassam Stadium is less than 2 miles away from where I live but my family persuaded me to so I went and apart from that first 15 minutes I had the best away day I've had for years. That second half performance was brilliant; relentless attacking pressure that blew Oxford away. The Rams fans last night were also amazing; you wouldn't have known we were the team 2-0 down. I couldn't speak at the final whistle from all the singing!
    Its nights like that that make following this club so special. After what has been a rough few weeks personally I really needed that experience last night.

    Oh what a night,
    Late December 2023,
    Oxford scored 2 but then we scored 3,
    What a comeback, what a night!
     
    PS - sorry to anyone I may have offended last night, I was a leetle bit drunk!

    I'm home and just cracked open a nice bottle of German Christmas beer in celebration.  Guess it has all been said, but nights like tonight make the life of ram all worthwhile, this was better than Port Vale last season. I hope I get my voice back tomorrow, maybe the beer will help.

    I liked the variety of players getting involved in the 3 goals, but also Hourihane's involvement in them all (even if one of them was a little tap to the side)...
    Goal for Forsyth
    Assist and goal for Cashin
    Assist and two pre-assists for Hourihane 
    Goal for Thompson
    Assist for Collins

    Got home a while ago, if just finished chewing my wife's ear off about the game. She has zero interesting in football but I think she recognised the need to nod along until the adrenaline wore off.
    First 20 I didn't even think we were bad. Two goals from breaks that hit the right lines and bam we're staring down the barrel.
    I was about 10ft away from the dugout and Warne was bouncing away to get them to force the pace of the game. The press was outstanding tonight and we moved the ball really well most of the game. He was urging them on and really positive throughout.
    Cashin was outstanding in all departments, we have to find a way to keep hold of him in January. Bird looked more comfortable sitting deeper and Hourihane looked much better further forward. Fozzy, Nyambe and Nelson were excellent. Barks improved second half and Wilson, Collins and NML didn't give them a moments peace. Subs outstanding too. All in all jolly good.
    Hopefully they can take that energy into Monday and hound Peterborough to death too.
    Didn't know there were so many Rams sitting silently with the home fans. We all did incredibly well to go undetected after a performance like that, it was tough to keep schtum and not join in the bounce! Great noise from the travelling fans tonight, even at 2 down. 
    Great night to be a Ram!

    Just listened to it tonight on RD, the fans sounded great even when we went 2 down and I’m sure I was not alone in thinking B4 would have been there believing we can win this 3-2. 
    looks like the team have go the B4 vibe too😁
    It feels very good tonight roll on Monday COYR

    Been a day of surprises. Firstly, turns out RoyMac5 is actually a lady, then Derby give a promotion rival a two goal gift lead in 15 mins & storm back to win 2-3. These things inevitably come in threes so I'm expecting a statement confirming the Moon landings were fake shortly before midnight.
    Massive kudos to the players for that turnaround but frankly, it would have been obscene if we hadn't have won - we were so much better than them throughout. Even between their first & second goal, we camped in their box for 5 mins with about 5 corners - they were there for the taking but easier said than done after the defensive brainfarts for their penalty & free kick.
    Forsyth's goal was absolutely crucial, particularly the timing of it & Oxford's manner at the start of the second half was very much of a team that knew they were outclassed & needed to stem the flow by any means necessary. We went at them from the off and showed admirable patience, constantly recycling the ball but often just missing that final incisive ball - Kane Wilson had the best opportunity & really should have scored from 6 yards out. Thereafter, I thought we'd blown it but then on comes super Liam Thompson - my goodness, we've missed him. All of a sudden, the passes are crisp and the midfield energy returns - two beautiful crosses into the box later, we're 2-3 up and two LS12 Rams are going absolutely mental at the tellybox.
    We're coming for you Pompy - Come on you mighty Rams 🖤🖤🖤🐏🐏🐏💪💪💪

    Just a word for Fozzie. Thought he was outstanding first half in particular. Unlucky with the header. Great positioning for his goal.

    It was sort of a 1996 moment. As soon as Foz scored your gut told you we would win.
    Its been a long time since I had that calm sense of inevitability
