The players are plenty good enough. The game-plan is the problem. Crewe worked extremely hard for their victory so credit to them…but that’s the point, match Derby in the running, keep your shape and gaps will open up in front of Derby’s area. Endless balls out wide, lump in a cross and that’s it. Ward put in about 5 crosses late 2nd half and their keeper caught them all unchallenged. It’s predictable, unsophisticated and easy to absorb. Without NML we are very derivative in style.

It can’t be easy playing mid-midfield in a Warne-ball team…but have to say he was totally off the pace. Sloppy in losing the ball, stray passes and easily by-passed. Gave away the fk that led to their 1st. Can’t understand why he didn’t change it sooner as it was clear there was plenty of fertile space in front of our defence. It was very apparent.

Superb @Comrade 86 Sir

If a few of us e-Mail peteweymouth@bristolrovers.co.uk the message may get through.

This chap is supporter liaison at Gas. Maybe we can message him re: 38th minute applause for B4 at PP when we play Roverrrs.

#BeMore@B4

My own personal favourite was our erstwhile player "Mansion Bennett". Also like the one that @Inverurie Ramposted about being "Cherried up" by a good team performance or result. We should start a B4 Thesaurus entitled "B4 - In his Own Words" and stick it permanently to the top of this Forum as a lasting tribute to the Man & his Immortal impact upon our shared Derby County Fan history. #B4EveraRam as well as #OnceARam

@Owen87ITK b4 absolutely deserves anything you can do to mark his passing. Thanks mate in advance. 🐏

1Wildsmith 7 Significant acrobatic save horizontally to his right 1st half. At that point he could’ve picked up a book & read for the remainder. 24Nyambe 7 None shall pass-by this granite-rock right-back. Took a knock. 5Bradley 6 Barnsley were spent when he saw out the last 10. 35Nelson 8 Stultified Cole completely. 6Cashin 8 Perpetual motion of heading blocking & left-footed drives down the fairway. 3Forsyth 7 Vintage. Made in Scotland from Girders. Punctured any fight Barnsley might summon by killing the game with the 2nd goal. His piledriven shot became the 3rd goal. 4Hourihane 6.5 Sufficient. 7Barkhuizen 5.5 Must do better and not waste gilt opportunity. 17Sibley 6.5 Brought a cutting edge late on and rasped the bar. 12Smith 6.0 Contributed with short passes here & there. 8Bird 🦅 6.5 Not as dominant as we have come to know but won possession regularly 11Méndez-Laing 7.0 Active & sharp but took a knock and was withdrawn. 2Wilson 7.5 Ran the full-back a merry dance with nutmegs, swivels & pirouettes a plenty. Joy to watch. Crosses never quite found white. 9Collins 8.5 Takes MotM with 2 goals and a bullish performance. A penalty and a chested goal. Barnsley never had a sniff and were dispatched by a mentally strong Rams outfit. Today I type with tears in my eyes; I am devastated to hear the news of B4’s passing. I had the good fortune of meeting B4 on 3 occasions which I’ll never forget. His passion and indefatigable support were inspiring and on this Forum he led us countless times with his rallying calls and with his own brand of words. Let’s have a sea of black and white for B4 v Bristol Rovers. God Bless B4.

Very sad news. 🐏

Never too late for you @angieram. Please proceed.

I’m looking forward to him absolutely toasting the Crewe right-back again on Tuesday night; the guy resorted to cheating to try and nullify Kaney @DavesaRam

Or non-binary 🤷‍♂️

Told you! 😲

I’m indebted to you @SKRam ; “Thermal bonding” sounds like some Swingers’ Group communal practice, probably involving a hot tub, a hot rub and snorkels. How long have you been engaging in this? 😲

Keep up @Carnero 😭

It’s on his Wiki @David. So it must be true! Ask any Robot 🤖.

No @Mucker1884. I really admire "Kaney" (cue Warney's face in my head) as a player and his L-S-P is cool. It's a plain and simple fact.

I love that too @8Leeds; He's a little tea-pot with a left-sided part-ting. 😲
