Mckram got a reaction from SKRam in They're playing football now, not hoofball.
They seem to know when is the right time to try and play football and when is the right time to go direct.
I found under Rosenior we would always go short even when the team needed to get the pressure off and get up the field.
The most impressive thing is Warne has done this without signing a player. Also our back line only has one player in his ‘natural’ position…imagine if we had a bit more depth/options.

Mckram reacted to Biley66 in Bielik at Brum
“Sorry but been rubbish since the WC. Looks suspiciously like he did his best before it to be included and now doesn’t give a rats. He must be well aware of the apparent interest in him from Europe etc (not sure why).
He was our best player but right now looks a complete shadow. It’s as if we have a 36 year old doing his best to hold the middle” - SHA Forum
Thanks for paying his wages Brummies! ?

Mckram reacted to Wolfie in Barnsley (H) (FACR3) Sun 8th Jan, 12:30 KO
I took the plunge yesterday and took Miss Wolfie (just turned 10) along for her first match.
I was concerned she'd be bored because she doesn't ever sit & watch a whole match on TV with me and, to be fair, she was showing signs of losing interest midway through the first half.
3 goals later and her laughing at the bouncing South stand in a great second half meant that she thoroughly enjoyed it and asked me on the way home when she can go again. It also helped that it gave her something to brag about at school today, with pretty much everyone else in her class being F*rest fans.

Mckram reacted to Crewton in The Sibley Enigma
TBH I thought he looked out of sorts in the first half, but defended solidly and played much better once Hourihane had got out of his way.

Mckram reacted to Tamworthram in Bolton Wanderers (A) Tues 27th Dec, 3pm KO
I suppose we could ignore the fact that all of those games under LR were at home whereas 2 out of 3 of those under PW were away from home. Or that under LR we conceded 5 goals in those three games whereas under PW we only conceded 1. But hey, don't be shy about manipulating statistics to make a point.?

Praying Roberts injury isn’t anything too bad…

On Cashin that one.
Another game on the list to play. Not ideal.

Moxey didn’t fancy chasing NML for the rest of the game.

Mckram reacted to Crewton in Warne's managerial start at Rotherham (it wasn't very good)
Both Cloughs might have been sacked using the same criteria - certainly, no-one was convinced by Nigel at the end of his first half-season, though iirc with his Dad the fans could see that something was building, particularly after a 4-0 victory over top of the table QPR towards the end of the season.
We've had so many managers, eventually successful, whose initial impact seemed "meh" at best, but now they're instantly compared to Nigel Pearson, and not, say, George Burley or even Arthur Cox, who both had to resurrect the club from virtual bankruptcy. As a fanbase, we seem to have gone from immensely relieved and grateful to survive to entitled and hyper-critical in record time. We're "so over" Administration and teetering on the edge of liquidation, aren't we?!

Mckram got a reaction from kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong in Ipswich v Derby (A) Matchday Thread - ‘and it’s live’
Good to see some sensible comments on here still. The reality of tonight is that an individual error has cost us the game.
On another night Davies doesn’t do that and who knows, maybe their man is sent off for that challenge on Smith and we dominate the second half.

To be honest I think the summer signings were just getting bodies through the door. Weren’t we in preseason with absolutely nobody?
I think it’s 100% going to be a rebuild. Signing how many players over the age of 30 was never us building for the future, it was getting a team that can compete in league 1 whilst spending no money. For a while I was worried that we would go straight down to league 2 as we would be playing kids.
What would you have preferred this summer? We bide our time and only sign players that fitted a 5 year plan?
We survived as a club and fair play to Rosenior for getting anyone through the door he could. I won’t be pointing figures at anyone within the club if they hold their hands up and admit any of this summers signings were wrong.
