    Dean (hick) Saunders got a reaction from SKRam in How can we finish in the top 2?   
    Defence looks good, almost best in the league. If we could score 1 more goal per game that ought to get us close.
    Can we do this with current squad (given forward injuries)… No…
    So sign another forward of right quality and we hopefully could be close to top 2.
    Amen

    Dean (hick) Saunders reacted to roosram in Academy thread 23/24   
    My 23 year old grandson (works for BBC in Manc, supports Hull City) went to the game v ManU and ‘bumped’ into Warne, Clowes and ex ram Kevin Wilson.  He said Clowes was happy to chat and that Clowes said he ‘may have to put his hand in his pocket’ in Jan. Grandson also said young rams deserved more from the game and was impressed by the ‘lad up front’. Brown?

    Id definitely offer NML a new contract in the Summer - for me he's been excellent.
    I'd also offer Fozzy a contract if we don't go up - even if it's planned as cover - he still plays a lot of games and can play LB or CB - it may be a lower offer and he may turn it down but if he was 26 and playing like he is nobody would question if we should keep him.

    Wgat do we need? A new club record. The most points we gained in a season was 85 in 13/14.
    We also gained 63 points in 55/56 during our 1st spell in the 3rd division, back when it was 2 points for a win (equivalent to 91 points)

    I think an extra (quality) striking body is the difference between playoff push and trying to chase down the autos.

    3-0, NML runs the length of the pitch and an unselfish lay off for Barks to tap home. Lovely

    Quite the opposite, In their position, I would be looking to strengthen the squad. That could mean looking to replace Ladapo with a better quality striker who will be able to perform in the premier league.

    Been discussed before, but we had ZERO chance of keeping hold of Gordon, Delap and Kellyman (unless you argue, reasonably that if we were better run and not gone into admin, the administrators would not have had chance to sell him).
    Realistically if we turn up genuine superstars from the academy then whatever DCFC do, there is a high probability of them being poached. They tried very hard with Gordon and failed.

    Dean (hick) Saunders got a reaction from Chester40 in Bristol Rovers - 25 November   
    First half was a bit turgid, but there was many promising moments (down left flank in particular) screwed up by absolutely dire crossing. Felt a bit sorry for Collins as he was often in the box where needed but Sibley (in particular) hit it nowhere near anyone. Better delivery and it might have been a different game (half).
    Second half, amongst many things, the delivery was better.

    White (Newcastle) on loan at Crewe has to be a target? He made all 3 of our midfielders including Bird (who recently has looked better than this level) look silly during our match with Crewe. He’s a loan signing, where let’s be honest oil money FC won’t ever give him an opportunity now they can spend gazillions, so if you get promoted there might be opportunities for something longer term.

    So emotional today, hearing the applause ring out for Daniel. I was very heartened to read that both RamsTV and Radio Derby mentioned him in their commentaries. 
    Thanks, @Owen87ITK.
    If anyone has either snippet, those of us at the match would love to hear them. 
    The moon rose over East Stand this evening in his memory.
    B4 will live long in our memories. Go well, young man. 🐏⚽️🖤🤍

    This really is a fantastic effort from all involved.
    Since we started this thread, we have taken 9 points from 4 games at 2.25 points per game!  And we’ve added another 8 pages since my post so are now just 218 pages away from top spot.  If we can all focus and keep being really really cross for a bit longer we can do this.

    Quite a few players at Championship clubs not getting much game time. A few of the better (and younger) options being:
    LCB - if Cashin leaves
    Caleb Taylor - 20 years old, West Brom
    Left wing back - if 3/5 at the back
    Sam McCallum - 23 years old, Norwich (out of contract in the summer)
    Nathanael Ogbeta - 22 years old, Swansea (out of contract in the summer)
    Wingers - assuming 4231
    Wanya Marçal - 21 years old, Leicester 
    Borja Sainz - 22 years old, Norwich
    Malik Wilks - 24 years old, Sheff Weds 
    Forward
    Reyes Cleary - 19 years old, West Brom (out of contract in the summer)

    Agree with all this. But I think there is a difference between being “content” and wanting Warne sacked (give up and roll the manager dice again hoping for a 6 instead of a 2). 
     
    I am not content (expect better) but accept being patient for now.

    Barring a big losing streak I’m probably ok to the end of the season. 

    If we’ve made playoffs and lost unluckily then I may be ok for another summer window. But a lot depends on what happens from now to then.
    Fingers crossed for a good playoff push leading to victory and promotion.. 🐏
