MackworthRamIsGod Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Gary keeps calling on his players to be brave, but for me it is he that needs to be brave. We have 2 games in hand over Millwall in 6th, today's game is massive. If Rowett can show a more positive set of tactics, steer well clear of Bradley Johnson and Cameron Jerome and somehow get Vydra and Palmer on the same pitch playing in the same half of the pitch we will have half a chance. The playoffs really are still in our hands thanks to the wonderful run we had. I will accept failure if i can see that GR and the players have made a real go of it.

Dont care who plays, so long as there at least looks like an attacking intent and the players are of a mindset to pass forward, making some movement etc. This defensive set nature, almost statue like passing around, with Vydra almost coming back to the half way line at times is getting to me. Throw caution to the wind please Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBee Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 a delusional thread , sadly. getting his excuses ready more like ...............like moaning about the pitch at Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie George Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Won't happen - Rowett plays safe football. Shoot me down later but I expect us to lose two nil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967Ram Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I agree it is the time for Rowett to be brave. I think it has been for a while mind. Do I think he will be? No, 4-2-3-1 again almost definitely. I hope we get the first goal as it's crucial to the way we 'play'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretDave Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I think he might give Luke Thomas a go today. Got a feeling he will do something special... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonRam Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 This game is the most crucial so far this season. 3 points today and we're back in the running for 5th/6th. 1 point today and 6th is still possible. Lose today and we're pretty much out of contention. We need runners, mobility, quick forward movement and clinical finishing. We need Palmer to start and to harry the Boro defence and give them no rest, we need Lawrence and Weimann running down the flanks, we need Thorne or Huddlestone (or both?) to set the runners free with clinical passing and we need Vydra and Nugent to do their stuff. The rest of the team more or less picks itself. Hopefully GR will show them the highlights from the 3-0 win last year and just say "same again please guys". My prediction - I wish I could say 3 points but sadly and realistically I think we'll have to scrap for a point, and then the pressure will really be on against Cardiff. COYR! Prove me wrong please!

Need more than one player out there doing their best. We need a team effort playing with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 come on, we can't attack in each game. let's just defend. that's a brave thing to do when you need a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Unfortunately, the squad Rowett has built doesn't allow him to be brave. Our midfielders are almost all sitters, and our forwards are almost all guys that like to run in behind. So the only real way he can set the team up is to sit deep and try and break. We don't have the ball-players, or runners from midfield you need to play attacking football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier ram Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 what a great chance for the boys today , come out fighting and pushing forward and us fans will be right behind you , got a feeling after last nights result Boro will be happy with a point so when chances are created weve got to be clinical , put to one side whats gone on before and lets support the lads wholeheartedly , its still not too late to turn it around , good luck to Gary and whatever team he picks , COME ON YOU RAMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanoakaram4life Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The problem Gary has is that if this team trys to be more expansive then the opposition can easily pick us off. We have low energy levels due to the age of the players and sitting in and countering the opposition is the best way that this set of player can be effective.

Nuwtfly Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 If Weimann is injured then he's been given an absolute free-hit to start Luke Thomas. I'd love to see it. Though I won't be surprised to see Bradley Johnson come in on the left and Lawrence to move over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I don't care how they do it, just win. Not a single bloody step back all game, winning is everything today. Time to man up, take responsibilty for your own performance and leave it all on the pitch. No excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Should been brave at Burton, not today. They'd just been smashed 5-0, early goal and it was curtains. Today, i'd say it isn't. Need to be solid, two very similar styles, will be dull. Odd goal will win it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
