suffolkram80 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 With our injuries to key players (Thorne, Eustace, and possibly Hughes) Perhaps it is time to try something slightly different? I also get annoyed with players being played on their unatural foot on the wings as it leads to moves breaking down and not being punished. (Russell left footed playing right wing and Ward\Ibe right footed playing on the left wing. Maybe we could use a back three with wing backs and give Russell a free role to roam more centrally and get closer to Martin. Grant Albentosa Bucko Keogh Christie Forsyth Hendrick Bryson Hughes Russell Martin I feel we have good options from the bench to cover various positions and change approach if required.

Lord_Ram Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Problem is we would all like to beleive were top 2, but we've been to inconsistent all season, sign a proper DM a winger, and we may be. Able to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Play offs. We keep blowing the opportunities to establish ourselves in the top two. This team is just too error prone. Too many wembley type self inflicted wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshfieldRam Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 As I sit here now I think 4th. Ipswich excluded our fight and passion is almost non existent in big games. Every game from now till the end of the season is now huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil62uk Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 after yesterdays and coincidently Wigan , and Brentford ( a) 2nd half performance .... a mid table finish ... but to flip the coin the performances against Wolves , Brighton Blackburn ( a ) Ipswich ( a ) ... cant see why we shouldn't finish in top 2 ... still 20 games to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 2nd. One of Bournemouth/Ipswich will drop off the pace and hopefully it will be us who capitalise. Why do people continually keep saying this , on what facts do you base your assumption , hope it is not the fact that we have beaten them both .

RamNut Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Top, If Thorne reaches the levels of last season. Won 8 of the last 11 when he was in the side last season, and I believe he could have a similar impact this season. I know it's odd to depend on one player, but that CDM role is just so important to our system, and he's the best at the club by some considerable distance Unfair to expect too much of thorne this season. Last season he had had a spell at watford to get rid of the cobwebs before he came to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the consistency to finish in the top 2. We will have to settle for play offs. And after last trip to Wembley I wouldn't be confident of promotion. Play offs is a lottery. Anyone can win it. After that, the consequences of not going up would be disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil62uk Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Brighton - we stopped playing after 20 minutes.

condor Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Can anyone really justify us finishing in the Top 2 after yesterday's performance Not at the minute. Without 3 first team signings we won't finish anywhere near the top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I think we'll cling on to the play offs and lose to boro. I make you right here.. We need to make top two or the play offs will fook us up. Ipswich, Norwich and Boro all as possibilities in there and all bogey teams for us.

Then we have to start again. We won't keep some of the squad and that could take a couple of seasons to replace and get settled. Another season in this league, same old grounds and teams... Zzzzzz. Come on Derby... Don't **** this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Can anyone really justify us finishing in the Top 2 after yesterday's performance How come one performance is more important than the 25 that can before it? Based on your argument, you could justify us finishing top two before yesterday. One very poor performance doesn't kill us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose Hughes definitely, maybe also Martin, Hendrick, Bryson, Keogh etc. Then we have to rebuild and cycle starts all over again. That why we have to aim for automatic promotion. We won't can't risk the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds away Wigan at home playing against a Forest side at home that hadn't won in so many games we lack the quality to merit a top 2 place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
