    Carnero reacted to Steve Bloomer's Washing in SBW Meets: Kane Wilson (Exclusive)   
    Hey everyone - a bumper SBW podcast week as we've got another (mini) episode also out now.

    https://open.spotify.com/episode/6TJdnHd9UxPTD5NfupYBIm?si=uP-JobNmRNuKEsWPrK8Xjw

    In our latest DCFC interview released exclusively in full to SBW Patrons, Richard and Chris spend 40 minutes in the company of the Rams' 'Brummie buffalo', Kane Wilson. Having established himself as a key part of Paul Warne's squad - not least with the winning goal against Bolton Wanderers this month - the 24-year-old told us how at home he feels at Pride Park, and his career ambitions. We also discuss:
    - The squad's reaction to the Northampton defeat and how Warne has encouraged the team to bounce back.
    - His distinctive playing style and whether he thinks dribbling is a 'lost art'.
    - Being 'the buffalo' in the Rams dressing room
    - His thoughts on Warne's management style and why he gets on so well with 'the gaffer'.
    - His message to Rams fans ahead of the six crucial remaining league games.



    I can honestly say, without any agenda, that KW was a very genuine, top bloke, who just loves football (especially dribbing and nutmegs...!).

    I think he needs to be in our first team squad next season, regardless of which league we’re in. His movement off the ball is great and if we were to sign up Gayle on another short term deal then he’d be a perfect mentor for him.

    We were told that we could recall him once the first 28 days of the loan had passed, due to it being a "youth loan".
    Get him back I say.

    I always said he just needed a run of games to adjust to men's football by gaining that sense of "belonging" in men's football. The minimum he should be playing next season is L1, and depending on his pre-season, could even be with our first team in the Championship. Is it 9 goals and 2 assists in 14 games now (half of the games were 10 mins off the bench)? He would be exactly the type of signing we should be looking at signing if we fail to go up, so has to be in with a serious shout next season.

    Why are people preferring Ward over Wilson at RB? Neither are defensively amazing but Wilson has looked more solid there to my eyes (and gives away less penalties).
    Playing Wilson at fullback gives him the space to use his greatest strength- progressive dribbling, whilst Ward as a winger would still be able to utilise his crossing. Given that Wilson sometimes lacks end product, this way round seems more sensible to me?

    Carnero reacted to UTFR in Prediction for how it will end   
    Despite it being impossible, as they all play each other, I expect our four promotion rivals to take maximum points from their remaining games, while we fail to pick up a single point for the remainder of the season.
    We finish 6th and, despite getting our hopes back up by sneaking past Bolton in the semis, we collapse in the against Lincoln in the final at Wembley blow a 2-0 lead to lose 5-2. Sending 40,000 Derby fans home unhappy, as 378 Imps celebrate promotion on Wembley Way.
    Meanwhile, Leeds and Leicester claim Automatic promotion to the Premier League, and Nottingham Forest escape relegation by a point on the final day.All three go on to finish top 10 in the following season.
    In League 2, Wrexham are promoted and proceed to spend £300m to assemble to strongest third tier side of all time, meaning that recently relegated Birmingham city have to settle for second place, as the Rams miss out again and head to Wembley to eventually lose to Rotherham. (Who are by then managed by Conor Hourihane)

    The thing that got me with the Bradley incident was as he was walking off having received the red card, a few of their players were high fiving each other as if to say great job getting him sent off. If felt shades of Ronaldo winking having got Rooney sent off in the 2006 World Cup, apart from of course the game yesterday was more important...
    Admittedly we didn't play well but I despised the total anti-football they played, apart from their great goal(!), especially in the second half with their players going down a ludicrous amount to break up the play with stoppages.
    The mascot annoyed me as well, getting involved with the players, and trying to wind up our fans right from pre kick off.
    The whole game was a shambles and it had the feel of Reading away as it was freezing and very windy, and we just didn't control the ball in the conditions or against such opposition.

    My opinion of Warne as a manager is well known and he is what he is so I’m not going to go over those talking points again. 
     
    I’m sick of slating the woeful tactics so My anger yesterday is directed at the players. Can any of them come off the pitch with any sort of credit? 
     
    Their goal was Sunday league defending. Bradley letting him get the cross in too easy. Cashin and Sibley breakdown in communication allowing the scorer the freedom of half of the pitch. 
     
    Passing accuracy was abysmal. Even the passes that went to our players were always causing the receiver to turn back and collect it from behind them or to stretch for it. Wasted the 3 real opportunities we had with awful finishing.
     
    Constant hoofed balls up rather than the composure to play it through a pretty crap league 1 press. 
     
    Honestly a good chunk of the team yesterday printed their own P45s for the end of this season regardless of division.

    This is fine if we’re talking about an inexperienced defender learning a lesson the hard way. We’re talking about an experienced pro who was part of a promotion to the premier league last season. He should be thoroughly embarrassed that he couldn’t control himself and in doing so has left the team with 2 centre backs for the next 3 matches. I’d pay him off at the end of this season and cut our losses - dread to think what championship strikers would do to him. 
     
    This isn’t just about the sending off either. Constantly passing it behind the player he was playing it to. Constant poor touches including needing Wildsmith to rush out and spare his blushes to stop a repeat of match day 1. 
     
    These mistakes shouldn’t be happening from a player at this stage in his career who has dropped down a level.

    Massive positive we are 2nd with 6 games left, and also should be playing at PP with 30K fans, we still have a massive chance to go up, lets get behind them like at home to Bolton, and I hope the players respond and we get 3 home wins, then i think 1 win away could see us promoted.

    OK. Have your way. The players did absolutely nothing wrong and can put any poor defending, missed passes, failure to create and convert any chances etc. entirely down to Warne. 
     
    I don’t agree with throwing players under the bus but I find it bizarre to suggest they were completely blameless for today’s poor performance.

    Complete passenger some games, how he stayed on the pitch today baffled me.
    No doubting he’s had a good career and he should be better in this team, but take away he can tuck the odd goal away around the box, his final ball can be quite poor. I’m sorry to say but far too wasteful for the calibre of player he’s supposed to be at league 1 level.

    VAR has destroyed the instantaneous joy of scoring a goal. A player in a suspiciously offside position leads me to glance at the lino and the ref whilst jumping around, however, if the same was to happen in a game with VAR, I wouldn't celebrate until the VAR check is over, but by then, the moment has passed.
    It's sucking the joy out of live football.
