Gary Teale Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Clearly we weren't kicking it into the corners enough like you see all the good teams do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Easy 2-0 win for Blackpool as our woeful away record continues and we gravitate back down to our true league position Close but no cigar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Can't keep the ball out of our net and can't stick it in the other end enough... 2 massive hurdles you need to beat before success comes anywhere near! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Just back from a day and a half in Blackpool. Pros: Will Hughes gives us an extra dimension Ben Davies did excellently and changed the game The travelodge being right opposite the ground Blackpool being taken over by derby fans We had a brilliant morning at the pleasure beach Superb vocal support and atmosphere, best in ages Cons: Gave away the ball constantly Woeful first half Nothing again up front despite starting with three strikers Shabby defending for both goals Travelodge have very uncomfortable beds Overall we probably deserved a point but they missed a peno, had two cleared off the line and hit the bar, so they will argue they deserved a win. A poor game overall on an appalling pitch which knackered any chance of playing a passing game. If we had scored again in a 5 minute period after we equalised when we were battering them we prob would have won, but they finished very strongly and you could see the goal coming. League 1 ground as well, really small. Overall though, a cracking day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yet again no goals from players playing in a striker/forward role. What's that 1 in 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yet again no goals from players playing in a striker/forward role. What's that 1 in 10? I count 3 - Sammon v Cardiff, Ward v Bristol and Martin v Peterborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Methinks the issue is that we invariably concede away from home, not whom or whom isn't scoring any away goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I count 3 - Sammon v Cardiff, Ward v Bristol and Martin v Peterborough. Ward wasn't playing as a forward or striker in that game, Martin and Sammon were. Just had a look and we have played 9 games since Cardiff and it's just one since then.

Yeah but you said 1 in ten - which includes the Cardiff game Ward was playing the forward role against Bristol I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having ago, when I made the comment I was asking a question and since your comment I had a look. I'm surprised their is not more concern. 1 goal in around 940-960 minutes since the Cardiff game from our front man/men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 We haven't scored enough away and conceded too many goals away simples. (at poor times in the game as well) Sammon scoring 1 goal in the last 21 games of the season hasn't helped. Home form is the real positive, if we can replicate the same home form next season and then add the experience required to dictate games away from home I think we have a good chance. Oh and drop Sammon after 4 or 5 games next season when we realise that Martin, Ward, New ST, New ST are all better than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised their is not more concern. 1 goal in around 940-960 minutes since the Cardiff game from our front man/men. There have been concerns raised - hence the calls for a new striker. However getting goals from elsewhere gas meant that points keep coming our way and masking the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 So we have had our worst year away from home for years yet we have always been in the games? We have not been anywhere near good enough as the points prove. We have had more of the ball but look like conceding and done take our chances. So basically the defence isn't good enough and neither are the forwards. The new buzz is experience is going to make all the difference, seasons before its been youth is ten only way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Traveled up early on a Saturday. Every pub from central pier to the ground seemed to be full of Derby, great atmosphere in the Manchester. Poor performance overall, pitch didn't help but Blackpool deserved the win. Great atmosphere though, mental celebrations for our goal and around 5 failed smokebombs , whoever bought those needs to ask for their money back. Overall; standard away performance, incredible away day, and i can't see us playing there on a Saturday again for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 All of this talk about our strikers not scoring enough goals is a total red herring - we've only kept 2 clean sheets away from home all season, that's the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsRam Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Well I've just got home, been at the Pleasure Beach - not very pleasurable for me but hey ho. Firstly, what a crap ground, we laugh at Forests pink seats but in the stand opposite us, the seats were what i would call 'light apricot' - we couldn't get a drink near the ground, one pub for away fans was doing ten out, ten in - another was doing one out one in - which is fine, but if you are a family of four and have two teenagers how does that work - anyway, one bouncer on the door said they sell beer at the ground, so off we trotted at 10 past 2......... Thanks pal - Hinge and Bracket behind the counter nearly wet themselves when we asked if they sold beer. Just a pie, a hotdog or a packet of crisps, not even a beefburger. One woman had her little bottle of perfume taken off her, can't be too careful. I heard the stewards saying inflatables were banned, but the clever Derby fans didn't blow them up till they got in the ground - fooled ya. The match was a scrappy affair, the pitch being a bit crap, looked like a lot of sand with a bit of grass placed on top, the ball bobbled a lot. In hindsight, Sammon should have come off earlier praps, Bavies looked glad to get on and gave it his all - he looked ecstatic to have scored bless him - so were we tbh. The linesman and ref were a bit dodgy and we got some crap decisions against us. Nobody likes a 90th minute winner. I did hear that the pubs shut about half ten last night as some Derby fans were going a bit mental - can't see them making it any more of a ***** hole than it already is, how anyone noticed I don't know - I haven't been to Blackpool for some years, I won't be rushing back either but the sun shone on us and the atmosphere was brill, even completely sober, still lost my voice.

notts_ram Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Good for you, did you go to the Pleasure Beach, have they still got that ride called Passage de Terror sic there? Last time I went there were building the sea defences which gave the promenade an even more picturesque look, have thoughts that it wasn't to keep sea out but to stop people leaving after they realised what a poo-hole the place was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
