This where we miss dear old B4. He would have given you good advice on how to get out of your Wedding Anniversary trip to Venice in order to watch the Rams.

@kevinhectoring was just wanting the mods to do some work, if you spot one that does anything, just let them know 😂

Get in

…bet you’re a gas at parties @Eddie 😲

I take it you don't like him then.
We could go on the front foot and win it. Oh Wait!!!!

It seems to me that the vast majority’s views are being influenced by a couple of posters views and dislike of our management and players. And it also appears that if we won 5 nil every week they would not be satisfied. perhaps a reality check and look in mirror would bring the much needed evidence that we are in division 3 and lucky to still be going.but it’s a free world and opinions are a personal choice. I’m sure there are rams supporters looking on laughing at all this. just remember it’s only a game not everyone can win and there’s far more to life than just football. 

I see this said for every league in every season. Is it poor or is it just expectations not being met?
Very rare do you hear anyone say it's a tough league with so many good teams.

He's only scored 1 goal for us?

Well first and foremost we're all here for the football, so we've always got that 😘
I've always been an advocate for patience, we're still feeling the effects of previous years - not only re. the players we've bought in, but the (lack of) players coming through the academy.  We could cope with selling players off during administration as we had good players coming through that were just about ready to step up - have an injury crisis now and we're down to the bare bones. 
I said a while back that assuming we can get to Christmas in or around the top 6 we'll be an attractive proposition for players that want to come for a promotion push.  Last year the January transfer window killed us - we were still under restrictions, didn't reinforce and ran out of stamina whereas the teams around us strengthened.  This season assuming we bring in some good players, we should kick on.
As you mentioned, we've now got a nice 11 day break to recharge and the 2 postponed games will hopefully come after we've added a couple more players.  I still think we'll do okay this season, we just need to stop the kneejerk reactions after every match.

Really didn't want to get involved in this forum again, as last time it became time consuming however given the criticism around the academy, I thought I'd share my experience and snippets of information having being around it for a number of years.
We are not a "2 club city", our area includes wolves, WBA, Foxes and others, teams use development centres to circumvent the hour catchment. The academy is going through a revamp, but given the lack of results over the years I'm surprised we continue to put in the funding to retain cat 1. PW contrary to opinion is often seen around the training ground, he does know players names, not all of them but it's not his responsibility to do so, the academy has people in place that run it.
I had the joy of attending a Man City session recently, the topic turned to stats and how Pep believes them to mean nothing without context, they are mainly for accountants and they are better served staying in computer games because they dont provide the full story and you can spin them anyway you want to back your opinion. I also smile when PW gets bashed for not backing the academy, why would you give players minutes over established players that are your key players for the season, or returning from injury, for example, that's without even going into contracts that have certain triggers and all the other stuff around that.
 
An even bigger smile is his failure to bring in youth at Rotherham, once again I'm not sure how a managers responsibility is to bring youth players through in such a short period of time and if the ones you have aren't good enough, why would you play them over your senior players when your chasing promotion ?
Hopefully DC will get the academy producing and hopefully it's as easy as some make out on here, but in my experience it's not. As I alluded to earlier, we have been trying for a good number of years and although we have wonderful facilities, a manager whose remit is to get us out of this division, isn't the gatekeeper for this objective, imo.
 
 

I'm not really sure about this one player carrying a team malarkey, just based on the fact they are the one who is currently scoring. 
We could have said the same for Waggy early in the season, or Collins more recently.
Mendez-Laing is one of my favourite players and the only difference I see in recent matches is his confidence has soared now he's started to find the net again. 
Yet there were plenty slagging him off on here earlier in the season when he just couldn't seem to find the net.

Just re-read this, and I stand by it.

Warne doesn't have a great record at game changing in-game tactical switches. I just hope somehow B4 now has the power to get in that changing room and inspire the lads to victory. COYR do it for B4.
