Well i was pretty convinced he was clueless. No disaster if he turns out not to be is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Now isn't the time to blast people for not getting behind Wassall, or to lick yourself clean for backing him from the start, Internet points mean FA. No, now is the time to get fully behind him, put preconceptions behind you and roar on the Rams to promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not "zubi". He always gets his man on the bench ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Ps on DW. He's just achieved 4 in a row. In the last 2 away games we have put in a huge number of attempts on goal 36 or something close. And prior to that we had 8 goals in 2 games at home. Those are seriously impressive stats in my opinion. I cannot fathom why we were so poor previously. But to a large extent that's irrelevant to the here and now. Applause and respect have been earned and Casa Hants is very appreciative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssendonRam Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Congratulations to Darren Wassall and the team in qualifying for the playoffs. Not so long ago, it looked desperately unlikely. And, while I am no fan of Wassall for the permanent role, it has to be said he stepped into another's role with a disjointed and dispirited team and a season which could easily (and very nearly did) go into free fall. We all owe Darren Wassall a debt of gratitude right now, regardless of what happens from now. As they say, where there's life.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to coach good players to know when to play their natural game well and when to contribute something that may not be their natural game but is for the greater good takes more skill. Or perhaps empathy, awareness and knowledge of what you're dealing with. Nothing is difficult if you know everything. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Canitbé Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Didn't even make the play-offs last season, this season we've confirmed them with 3 games to spare. I know Wassall isn't entirely responsible given that Clement was in charge until February(?), but credit where it's due. Got us over the line when many thought he might not. We'd better not get to Wembley mind, it's right in the middle of my third year exams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season 78 got us 8th place. Oh and my final third year exam is 24th May... 4 days before the play-off final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson and hendrick injured. and would any of the U21 players you mention be suitable subs against a team fighting relegation and putting us under pressure on the final stages of the match? As I've said elsewhere, the initial prognosis (may have changed) from within the club was that both Hendrick and Johnson were out for the season. It's a terrible prospect, but imagine we're approaching the playoff final and Bryson and Hughes both have some sort of relapse. Do you want to bring on an U21 player who's never been involved with the squad because you were worried about the pressure of an earlier game? If we don't have any other fit midfield options then it's plain bonkers not to put an U21 midfielder on the bench. Everybody's got to learn sometime. Hanson learnt away at Ipswich last year, and (kind of) scored the winner. At least Wassall seems to have come round to my way of thinking and had Elsnick on the bench last night.

The U21s were probably still in celebration mode, give them a break. Hang about..... YOUR way of thinking? @David, can you run an IP Address check? I reckon @Bris Vegas is using @Carl Sagan's logon details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
