I know you shouldn't do it but it did make me smile when he suckered the steward into the attempted rugby tackle and side stepped him resulting in him nearly taking out his mate. 

Probably the highlight of the game that. The youth showed more movement than the entire first half 11.

There’s more pace in the side and more movement as players know they are likely to get a pass for their efforts. 

We do look better without Morrison today.

Matchday 14 – Saturday 23rd October 1971 & the visit of reigning League Champions & Double winners Arsenal to the BBG

Arsenal started the day in 5th place, a point behind the Rams so a good result was important here. Some familiar names amongst the Arsenal side – future BBC Sport front man Bob Wilson, future title winning manager George Graham & one Charlie George…

 

 

Pre-match edition of The Ram reporting that the club made a marginal profit in the previous year – greatly reduced from funding the transfer of Colin Todd in particular. Also at the top of the page, a clown at The Sun (Frank Clough – no relation) declaring after our defeat at Man Utd he would eat his match report on toast if we won the League…

 

Derby’s win lifted them into 3rd place as Sheffield Utd lost yet again, this time at Man City. The gap to leaders Man Utd was still 4 points though as they won away at Newcastle;

A question for the more informed, was this the first time the rams fans saw a young Steve Powell in the top flight? What a servant to the club he turned out to be.

Do you think Jags was blameless in this?

Yes ,for me he back's off a little when he sees the keeper coming or he's heard a shout, Jags gets non of the blame from  me, think he's been really good so far.

Quality thead Leeds City Ram , my old man revelled in this era but his memory ain't what it used to be, this match day account fills in the gaps for me and puts a smile on his face as he remembers the good old days. Nice one mate

And we didn't score any of those chances. We're creating enough, but its the last step we're struggling with.

That's why I would like to see Stretton get a chance he seems to go on instinct, Baldock seems to be thinking about it too much.

Yes i understand that. The point i was trying to make is that it was something Wayne was forced to do, not part of a tactical plan like someone was suggesting. 

Only Rooney knows why he did it but we did have Knight on the bench if he wanted to keep things the same/similar, he brought on a striker.

And that's possible as well - we saw it a bit different but either could be right, or indeed neither of us! ?

lIt's a real game of cat and mouse I reckon between coaches. 

Yep sometimes think coaches over complicate things to much, Rooney the rookie will make mistakes for sure but he's trying to implement a style and plan, will it be enough who knows, but that's  where we are with a limited squad to change things tactically.

Now thats a decent challenge. I saw it slightly differently, in that Shinnie was playing poorly so was taken off, but Morrison was dropped back deep to restore the "double pivot" in midfield with bird and the 2 full backs were left pushed up, so the tactics were basically the same. 

Now that maybe not what was intended by Rooney and basically falls in the players not doing what was asked category - which is not on him. 

Either way we didn't get a positive outcome so it can't really be described as successful - so improvement somewhere is needed. Either in the analysis by the coaching team or in getting the players to do something closer to what is being asked. 

Good points tho - I don't think Rooney knows absolutely nothing, but he seems slow to identify and react at all, and then maybe is misdiagnosing the issues. 

Aye you could be right mate,to my eye I just thought Max was given the job of making the incisive forward pass from deep,when it wasn't coming off Morrison was then told to drop and do it or at least help him out either way your right we didn't get the right result.
