Mafiabob Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Far too much read into a game against a Top 4 side in Germany, every championship and bottom 10 Premier League club would have been beat today against these. Thought it was a perfect workout myself. No amazing performances but no poor ones either, tucking along nicely. Agreed we may need 2/3 additions to the squad, all I'm bothered about is that Rowett gets time to mould a squad for 2/3 seasons, not just 6 months. Dont waste our most precious commodity..... time. It's been wasted too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 26 minutes ago, Norman said: But I dont think he has got the legs. That's my point. He's late to tackles, to second balls and keeps fouling. Think their second goal came from a quick free kick he gave away. He even fell flat on his face with no one around him chasing back for a counter attack. Dont know what's happened to him. Well, if it's not Bryson, someone of his ilk....I think Hudders, Johnson and Butters are plodders and as a combination lack a bit of pace....

Andicis Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Huddlestone was sublime in parts of today's game. Think we need to provide the striker with more support, Martin looked isolated for a fair proportion of the first half. Weimann had a good game, as did Forsyth and Keogh. Wisdom looked a little shaky for the first few minutes, but settled into the game, did he trade mark of smashing one of the Hoffenheim players into the ground. Was a satisfying performance, and was nice of us to applaud the Hoffenheim goal and also their players at the end of the game, good to see.

That is true jimbo, Butterfield is fine as a sub after the game is won if you know what I mean, when Thorne is properly match fit he may do well in there if no more re- enforcements arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddlestone a class above, also liked Bryson when he came on. If I'm honest still prefer 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3, want to see Vydra and Martin together. P.s Russell is w*nk. No mate Norman says he just runs about a lot , thankfully Rowett is the manager and no him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyram Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 42 minutes ago, Anag Ram said: Agree completely. Every time I suggested on here that we needed more midfield players I was assured that we had enough If anyone was impressed by Johnson, Bryson or Butterfield today please let me know. Matty James would walk into this side. Upfront Vydra must start ahead of Weimann or Russell. We lack forwards who can beat a player. There were some lovely forward balls today which better forwards would have finished off. Overall it was good learning exercise -an excellent friendly. Ffs they are no champions league players and that's what they were up against , give them a break , come back at xmas and see if they are being slated when we are top of the league , come to think of it don't cause u lot would still be moaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get little enough as it is in every other area of the game. Fair point. He did look a very good keeper, great recovery to deny Nugent and very calm distribution.

DavesaRam Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Would agree with all of the above. Hoffenheim were a class above us, and it was obvious in the first half, and although we did threaten to a degree, the difference in class meant we weren't that likely to score. Butterfeild has looked more positive for most of pre-season, but seemed to go into his shell in this match, although he makes our dead-ball situations a bit more positive. Bryson coming on second half did make a big difference, especially as I was expecting hi to just run around a lot without making much difference - nice to be wrong on that one. I hope we can learn how to put Huddzy's passing to better use, he was marvelous. Shame about the penalty - Braddley hit it hard enough, but it was actually an easy save, although the Rams TV guys have already awarded it "Save of the Season" for the entire footballing world! A shame also about Nugent - he had two really good chances, but both of them were really poncy efforts, so we should have had more goals, which has been a consistent observation by Gary Rowett. Defensively, we were pretty solid for much of the time, without a spell of pressure resulting in us collapsing or pressing the panic button , although I am still not convinced by our propensity for zonal marking, which is where their first goal came from. However I don't expect to see as good an opposition in the Championship this season, so we should do OK. Finally, I watched the match on Rams TV, along with the two previous friendlies. What are the commentary team doing? Today, we got Darren Bent as the "pundit", so we had to do a replay in slow motion in order to decipher what he was actually saying, but for more than 80% of the time, they were'nt commentating on the match, they were just waffling on about football related stuff like you might do before the match or at half-time with the person sitting next to you if he just won't shut up. Then we would get a recap of what had happened in the match, then he would suddenly try and describe some match action, just as the ball goes out into touch and the action stops. Very poor stuff. Come on Rams TV, if you are paying someone to be a commentator, it might be worthwhile making sure that he actually commentates on the game we are watching. Oh well, rant over. Overall, we have reasons to be quietly confident of a steady season, although I don't think we have the flair or creativity to be threatening the top two positions. It might all depend on the really, really good signing we were told is coming, unless that was PR spin to placate us when we only got a small amount for our Will.

It is no coincidence that the stand out players are the new ones. We showed promise today. I am not moaning. I am giving my opinion on how we can get better. Which we need to be if we are to be top of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
