Smith is a better player than Collins, in my opinion. I would like to see something different, but certainly wouldn’t be against Smith. 

You would hope our recruitment team are doing something in the background though, surely we can be a little more creative in the market. If not, I would have to look at making changes in that department. You live and die by your recruitment, so it needs to be as efficient as possible. 

i would like to think the search for strikers goes beyond the first team,and is the main priority for the academy, as that is where the money lies for the future funding of the club

Would it be concerning? We may earn more than others clubs, but Clowes may have made the decision to run us more sustainably. For example, Charlton have averaged losses of £7.5m since they were relegated from the Championship. Clubs such as Oxford have also taken this season to push the boat out in an attempt to get promoted too.

surely the fact that oxford are pushing the boat out and gambling on promotion highlights the financial importance they put on getting out of this league 

so,its partly the players,partly the fans,and partly the state of the pitch,that are at fault for last nights game.bradford had a team with 7 changes,played on the same pitch,in front of the same supporters,yet managed to play football,passing out of defence,passing around our midfield,and attacked at will,fortunately they were not that good up front or they would have scored more.can someone please tell me what warnes tactics were in the first half other than kick  and run

I may be being harsh, but neither Bradley or Nelson are spring chickens. Bradley in particular seems to struggle in a 3. But he's a seasoned defender so if he can't organize a 4, what use is he?

think it highlights the fact that keeping cash is worth more than the money we are likely to get for him,god help us if we have to play bradley and nelson together for the rest of the season

I'm surprised so many on here are bothered considering only a few thousand turned up

may be because quite a few parted with coin to be entertained on rtv,and a fair few thousand rams fans will be at work tomorrow suffering abuse from gumps and other fans,so yes we should be bothered

only one team played any football,and deservedly won the game.gumps had our pants down with fornah,and i'm not sure we should gamble on jules

One of them is. Sadly it’s Vickers.

i was being sarcastic

boy this is bad

Will someone please tell Vickers to stop keep hoofing it long to Collins? IT AIN'T WORKING!!!!!

nothings working

bradford look the better team,trying to play football,not sure what we are trying to do

i have never been a fan of collins, and always considered him low quality,but the way he has progressed his game this season has made him one of the first names on the team sheet,and you have to be impressed with what he is doing.collins at this moment in time is possibly the fittest,hardest worker in the side,and scoring regularly. Long may it continue.we do however need some pace and power up front,but maybe to partner rather than replace at the moment

Just now, TomG said:

Ahhhh, but is it?

hopefully not

barks gets the 3rd,but too late for 3rd spot

dropping off second half again,you can see it coming

have the team been told about goal difference,we need to score

2 good goals,but fleetwood are finding plenty of space when they go forward,and have wasted a few good chances to be in front

From the teams spending money above us, destined for promotion for Peterbrough and Portsmouth.

is edwards £6m better than cash,or do boro board have a harder negotiating method than the rams?we always seem to let our talent go for peanuts

With all due respect, Salah earns the right and doesn't really owe anything to his club. Look at his record, and the trophy cabinet. 

and the quality of cover whilst he is missing,nyambe shooting off for a nothing international cap,risking injury,leaves us extremely exposed

This is certainly an important part of our development if we're going to improve on holding onto leads. Every player back and hoof to the opposition so they can come at us time and time again is rudimentary. In the end today Peterborough threw so many players forward because they knew what our "strategy" was that they were ripe for the counter attack if we had the courage to leave one or two players forward.

this is the problem,when we camp in our own box,we dont have the pace to break,highlighted twice today whith barks and birds breaks,their defenders were quicker than our forwards ,so the breaks came to nothing.having collins defending set pieces takes him out of any break away,leave at least him, preferably another,would take at least four players out of a congested area,and give us more options to break out of defence

the usual 2nd half retreat costs us again

Absolutely Mad, Collins doesn't quite have their effectiveness!

hopefullywe can address that in jan,collins is a grafter,and fine in open space,but very seldom wins any battles with defenders either in the air,or on the floor.a taller,pacey striker is a must
