Premier ram

Phil Cocu. Right man, wrong time. 

Why have you started talking in the third person?

Just isn't fair on the other sides taking a battering from them week in week out.

I had to chuckle this morning when I saw that someone had asked him not long a go if he would be going to heaven, and he replied with "I hope not, I won't know anybody"
 

I had a lot of time for Paul O'Grady. I thought he was a sensitive, kind and caring person as well as being very witty and funny. I am sad he has gone, but thankful that he died peacefully. He was a good man. RIP, Paul and thanks for all you did to make the world a better place.

Time for Warne and the squad to prove we can do it against the better teams. We need a statement result, and a win at home against one of the best in the league in front of a big crowd could be the turning point that fires us into the playoffs on a wave of confidence.

Can I just watch 😳

Get ready for battle lads , we can do this COYR

Graeme Shinnies let himself go

4-0
Didzy

The time to hit form is at the end of the season just in time for the playoffs 

Circumstances conspired to feck us up, Mason Mount missing for circa 10 games, A 6' 6" keeper out done by a 5' 6" midfielder in the final, A manager that didn't play his best forward at the time in the final, Pretty boy swanning around the Med with friends while we hung on to any tiny bit of news of when he's going to feck off, Decision made and the poor Dutchman given no time to get his shyte together.
Hence the beginning and end of our demise, The rebuild has started with a man who's got DCFC at his heart, From little acorns do mighty oaks grow, Might not be this season...but it will happen 👍

MMs downfall was nothing to do with Covid or injuries it was him recklessly gambling the future of the club against an outcome that was never realised.
Which for a supposedly responsible owner in charge of the stewardship of the club is an absolute disgrace. 

How the other side live eh?

Last season we were a band of brothers ( and sisters) fighting for the cause.
More people this year expecting glory.

Absolutely. There really is no point in booing however poor the performance might be.
Regarding bookies, sadly whilst they do often get it wrong, more often than not they get it right. You don't very often meet a poor bookmaker. We have a much tougher game than Peterborough so it's easy to see why they've arrived at their odds. Anything less than a win against an in form Ipswich probably will result in us dropping to 7th. The reverse happens next Friday and, in theory, we have much the easiest game compared to Wycombe, Bolton and Peterborough. 
The important thing, as you say, is even if it doesn't go well we need to keep supporting and look to pick up 6 points over Easter.

With a big crowd comes big pressure and great expectation. The bookies odds say we will drop out the top six on Saturday. (they often get it wrong).Can we please not Booo  our lads , it does not help their confidence.

If McGee was better than Wildsmith Forest Green wouldnt have loaned him to us.   Wildsmiths form has "dipped" at the point where the defence in front of him has started to creek.  He's still regularly making good saves he's just now being asked to do a lot more.  Think it would be mad to change him now.

Tickets sold for saturday keep up

It’s now getting to the stage where they put on sale every available ticket.
1,890 tickets available now, which was more than it was this morning.
With being at home at the same time as the European champions just down the road and having a similar sold out away end, it will be somewhat amusing if we could top their attendance, in our so called pub league 😂

Knight has missed chances too. The post I replied to said Knight has scored as many as Dobbin. He hasn’t. As others have also pointed out.
This is a thread about Knight’s contract situation and yet people still feel the need to have tiresome digs at other players. It doesn’t always have to be an attack on other players you know? People can just talk about Knight’s strengths and attributes without bringing Dobbin or Bielik into it.
Knight is a talented young footballer who we’d all love to stay at the club for life, the reality is he probably won’t. If he doesn’t extend his contract with us the logical thing to do would be to sell him this summer for as much as we can get so he doesn’t walk away for free in 2024. No matter any of our personal opinions if people want to draw comparisons to certain other young players, Dobbin would probably fetch more of a fee as an attacking player from a premier league club’s academy, who has a longer contract than Knight who is a full international, currently playing in league one with a contract due to expire in just over a year purely because the market dictates the price of a player. And that’s regardlesss of what any of us think of the individual’s talent. You just have to look at the history of those types of transfers to see how it plays out sadly.
My personal opinion is Knight would be worth plenty if we had him tied down on a longer deal and will go on to have a good career, the reality of our situation means we’ll probably get something between £2-5 million. 

We’ve won 18 games with a thread bare squad and massive limitations. DCFC incredible and huge big up to PW and staff. I implore all the doubters to realise how well we’ve done. Of course the position we’ve been in a while it would be disappointing to not make POs. Me included for sure. I believe we’ll get there this season which genuinely is crazy…. Please think about it… the restrictions on this club are ridiculous but this is where we are. I’m so proud to be a Ram. #alcoholinducedrant 

I agree with the latter posts on this.
My observations so far are that PW is limited tactically. I've not seen him read the games and opposition tactics all that well to counter their threats or exploit their weaknesses, especially when they change up. I personally feel that we have the players to 'manage' games better but I don't think the tactics get the most out of their skillet.
At League 1 level I think this is less important generally speaking but this year there are some strong teams with very different tactical approaches to what you might expect in any other season. 
What PW is clearly very good at instilling the work ethic, fitness, building relationships, motivating people, knowing when to kick up the arse and when to give a cuddle etc.
Under normal circumstances the latter set of traits will make you an excellent manager at this level. This season and with the squad we have, it might not be enough.
I think he needs to work on the first element or make sure his team has an astute tactician who can lead on this. I'm not sure he has that in his team and not sure if he recognises the need for it. 
Nigel had similar flaws and a loyalty to his team that was admirable but ultimately limited him. I don't tend to think managers who take their entire backroom team wherever they go is always that healthy.
In saying that, he has a great track record and I liked him. I'm still optimistic and hope he can at least get us promotion at which point we should take stock and evaluate what we then need to kick on again. I'm not impatient about when that happens either, if it takes until the end of mbargo and the club is ultimately stronger and more sustainable for it, then so be it.
Impatient people have short memories, twas ever thus.

such a sad loss , went to see him perform as Lily Savage , absolutely brilliant , all round great entertainer and a wonderful human being RIP Paul

Have they tried selling their stadium? I've been reliably informed it's around the same value as Pride Park.
