i-Ram

Just for the record, us half fans get mocked but if it wasn’t for us sitting in our armchairs keeping our charts and spreadsheets going, the Ram’s recent form would not be accurately reported on here. It’s alright standing on the terraces, singing your songs about Collymore and doing that bounce thing, but coming on here claiming no wins in 18 league games, and 1 win in 18 league games, is greatly irresponsible and likely to cause unnecessary concern regarding our current run of form.

Might be a while….
 

I’d replace Tom Lawrence with Jennifer Lawrence. Unlikely to be any major change in performance levels, or results, but shirt swapping at full time would cheer me up.

I feel sorry for Jozwiak. He came over here for a fresh start as the fans at Lech Poznań kept turning their backs on him.

Lampard didn’t cost us? Can you tell me how much we got for selling Waghorn, Marriott, Malone and Jozefzoon. Can you tell me how much we spent on loan fees and wages for one year developing Mount, Tomori and Wilson for Chelsea and Liverpool blocking pathways for our own youngsters. Not that it was all his fault as someone was signing the cheques (not that Mel accepts any blame for his largesse).

He'll be making mistakes till the cows come home

Oh yeah. I can see it now.  How I missed the clues in the first post, I’ll never know!
Feel a bit daft now!  ?
 
 

I'm talking about a 35 minute journey at 3.00 a.m. when the only other traffic is either the milkman or a burglar.
Their inability to be to give you a receipt that doesn't look like a dog-chewn fag packet also pisses me off.

Luckily my half n half scarf is only 9 years old. I'll throw it away now in case I forget later.

Half n half scarves over 10 years old- Castration
Too harsh?
 

It must be difficult for you teachers to know with all the time you have off.

Nope, we signed Butterfield for £4m and I recall reading little else than that he was bang average. Bradley Johnson for £6m was, as I recall, seen as a decent player but well over priced - though even that generosity was a bit lost as he didn't even know the name of the club he had signed for. By the time we got to Blackman and Olsson I don't recall too many feeling comfortable with what was happening. It's not history by the way, I'm not re-writing anything, I'm just saying how I remember it.

No discussions! ?

Thanks for all the replies thus far.
 
Roos: seems to have improved dealing with aerial balls into the box, passing generally excellent, takes too long to decide and will come a cropper this season when being closed down, no chance with goals but got lucky with 35 yarder (5.5)
Byrne: looked better going forward once Ebosele was replaced, booked yet again, the Posh #3 could clearly put a decent cross in so needed to deal with that threat but didn't, made a complete horlicks of the situation for the winner, a second poor performance in a row (3.5)
Forsyth: the better of the full backs but hardly a ringing endorsement, generally solid but didn't provide attacking threat and will always be undone by anyone with pace  (5.0)
Stearman: steady if unspectacular (6.0)
Davies: as above really, should be given the armband when on the field (6.5)
Bird: not destructive enough to be a DM in my opinion although did break stuff up better today, needs to show better range of passing but that isn't easy when CKR is often the only option available (5.0)
Shinnie: woeful first half but noticeably better after the break, partnership with Bird in CM area offers little creativity and needs addressing asap (5.0)
Morrison: I rolled my eyes when I read of our interest in Ravel but his attitude seems spot on to be fair, brave header led to our goal, the only Ram with guile and drive from midfield (7.0)
Ebosele: started well but faded, not helped by whatever the idea was to get him and Byrne working as a partnership, promise and pace aplenty but greater composure needed, only a young lad obviously and maybe impact from the bench for a few games (5.5) 
Lawrence: a couple of nice moments but that's not enough for us, too keen to go to ground (a team trait today I noticed), not his fault he's captain but a truly bizarre decision by Rooney, a typical TL10 performance in many ways (4.5)
Kazim: had no service but couldn't make the ball stick when it came his way, does his best work when coming deeper and picking a pass forward but we didn't see that today and wouldn't have had any runners for him to hit anyway, injured (4.5)
Stretton: poor first touch on several occasions but will get chance to work on that assuming he's our number one (only) striker for the forseeable, fantastic strike of a dropping ball deserved the luck of the deflection for his first league goal, more mobility than Kazim and that should help Watson and/or Ravel and/or Bird to use their passing ability (6.0)
Sibley: his energy and drive stick out like a sore thumb in this Derby side, needs to start, as much a walking yellow/red card as ever before though (6.5)
