    As I see it, the main issue is that PW has far too many off days, particularly against opposition that we should be beating. It is obvious tactically. Analyse the match, the pitch was narrow but we set with 5 at the back and a midfielder that should’ve been in the middle playing totally out of position. We have a ball playing midfielder on the bench, when it is obvious to see that CH was playing badly and has no strength in defence longer, the two legged jump, the standard procedure to frighten the opposition, being totally ineffective and not scary in the least.
    Then we have the so called most able attacking player in this division, sat on the bench.  Instead of subbing early, we bring 5 on after 65. 
    as I have stated in my other posts it’s the inconsistency, one match good, another like a rabbit in headlights. I don’t expect every ball to go in the net at this level but I do expect us to limit the opposition by understanding their setup and doing things in mitigation and this should be done quite early in the game, thus our chances should go further. However, I simply cannot see it game after game and it is this that really concerns me.
    on a weekly basis we see managers of lesser teams making these changes more consistently and effectively and that has been my charge all the time. Lack of obviously learning from mistakes, making a good decision one week and repeating an old one the following week.
    I hope that for the last few weeks, we do not have to continue this Groundhog Day. I just want success.

    I agree there is no reason to overreact, s##t happens. But I can’t help but feel you’re overlooking the manner of the defeat.

    I hate to admit it, but u r correct.
    Call it complacency, arrogance or whatever… was already too much talk in the fan base of the last game promotion celebration etc. Lots more hard work and graft required.
    It’s the hope that kills. 
    Credit to Northampton- they have set up a certain way to suit their small pitch and they have totally stymied us. We have spent most of the match playing their game.

    Maybe if we had used what little money we had to attract a quality striker in Jan rather than waste it on ‘our first choice target’ who was supposed to be the fillip to push us on but can’t get in the side….

    We gave ourselves enough breathing room for a single slip up, then slipped up immediately. Got to be a mentality thing.

    Frontman or no frontman, we should be able to play better than this.

    NML has also been rubbish today in my opinion. I’ve no issues with him subbing any of them, bar Wilson they’ve almost all failed to show up.

    This feels like that dreadful first date where there’s no spark, it’s awkward and you’re certain you’ve no chance of scoring.

    Not 100% - as I heard it in the beer tent pre-match -  but from what I understand, Paul Warne calls it him because of the way he runs🤷

    What was the point in buying CBT if he can’t get in when we only have two other attacking options?
    I just can’t get my head around it.

    I wish people would stop this snide picking on Diane Abbott. She made a gaff when she was suffering a diabetic blood-sugar problem which does mess with your thinking processes - one ,mistake - and the world has had its teeth into her ever since, going on for how many years? Think of the colossal number of gaffes from Bonzo Dog Johnson, let alone his blatant lies, yet no-one keeps taking him to task for much more serious "gaffes". The same is true for most of his many cabinet members who kept making mistakes, who continue to get away scot-free. Abbott may dress a bit oddly, but there is no excuse for continuing to do her down for one incident caused by by a health problem.

    After such a huge win last weekend PLEASE Derby can we not bottle it in this game. Please, just for once, can we actually see the job through and make it easy for ourselves.
    This is exactly the sort of game we’ve had many times this season - a chance to really put the pressure on the teams around us when they’re not playing. And every time, it feels like, we’ve f***** it up with a pathetic half-arsed performance. It’s time for this team to get a grip, work like they’ve never worked before, and put Northampton to the sword. Show that strong character and personality, and show that they can see the job through.
    We’ve bottled it wayyyy too many times from this sort of position in my lifetime. PLEASE Derby let’s make this season different and see it over the line. Do it for f****** B4! COME ON YOU f****** RAMS

    CapeTownRams reacted to eddielewis in The run-in: some analysis   
    For further context on the teams near the bottom last season during the last 7 games
    Cambridge Won 4 drew 1 lost 2
    Morecambe Won 4 drew 1 lost 2
    MK Dons Drew 5 times and Lost 2
    Some teams in the relegation scrap are going to wake up and snatch points off people and I'm glad we don't play Cambridge till near the end where it might not mean much hopefully for either side.
