Derbylad92 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Every game it takes us till half time or to go 1-0 down to start playing. Why do people think this is, is our warm up aint good enough or is it just going into the games in the wrong frame of mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yes Ipswich was an exception. We start halves poorly but I think that's part of a weakness of mental attitude which has plagued us for years. Only Baird and the central defenders seem switched on to the battle from the start.

It's almost as if the current team isn't as good as the team under McClaren previously..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilsonram12 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 3 defeats in 5 I think the stat was quoted earlier, need to change that on this run of home games we got coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not quite at the level where we can tough those sorts of games out and achieve draws. We should be confident in the next few matches but the 3 defeats paint a pretty consistent picture of where we're at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Different left back, left winger and centre mids for quite some time now so it will always be difficult especially away from home as you expect pressure at the start. Definitely need to be more positive though and keep the ball to relieve the pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 We seem to be very open. The four defenders and carson especially have played well recently and without them we could have conceded more, but we don't defend well as a team imo. the midfield drop deep and tend to stand off whilst the two 'wingers' high up the pitch can leave us very stretched. there is a hell of a lot of space available to play through us. At times the forwards surely need to drop back to help crowd the midfield, and the midfield need to get tighter. We are too polite. Take a few chunks out of the opposition please gentlemen. Norwich, leeds and newcastle were always going to be tough, but three defeats and no goals scored is not great. These are the rival teams we need to take points off. 10 points from the 7 league games since xmas we will need to improve on that if we are to get the 6th spot. Two 0-1s v leeds and newcastle maybe even slightly flatter us. Desperate Dan's heroics in goal gave us a chance to snatch a point that we didn't really deserve, but ultimately we weren't good enough to be able to do that. At the moment we don't quite know our best side, and that probably is the best indicator that we are still in a transitional phase. Come on you Raaams!

toddy Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 We have just gone to one of the best sides in the division, it was a one sided game until 65 mins in and we were lucky not to be 5 down by HT and some need a reality check, we are a good championship side and nothing more. We should turn into a very good championship side next season with a few in and outs that Mac thinks will move us on. Play offs is a possibility but I don't want us to be lucky and win them as we are a million miles from being ready for the prem, don't need are run of 2008.
