That was absolutely shocking 

if I were anyone of them I’d be embarrassed to call myself a footballer 

sunday league care of the ball

That performance is exactly what happens when you play 3 centre half’s and a CDM. So defensive it’s untrue. Tony Pulis has more bravery than Cocu. 

To be fair I'd take a point and a clean sheet all day long.  

[SaintRam]

Dack played through on goal. Defenders all stopped to put their arms up - he hits the bar. Oh, and RamsTV finally shows the linesman, who did indeed have his flag up.

Justified laziness then, I suppose.

He has a Dutch accent though.

Not as good as Steve McLarens though. You're just a poo Steve McLaren, poo Steve McLaren! Too soon? 

Sad to even think about back to McClaren and good football when you compare it to the poo we have now. 

[WilkoRam]

Seems every time we have an opportunity to go forward, someone gets the ball and takes 4-5 touches before playing to pass. Players have been in space, they’ve been seen by the person on the ball but the take so long to get to a point where they feel they can make the pass. Lack confidence to make the pass sooner

For saying Cocu was known for his coaching ability, can anyone point to a single player that has been better under Cocu than they were under Lampard?

You got me beat 

sorry this isn’t good enough 

im talking just the basics, it’s f”@&ing shocking

I don't blame Cocu for looking to be more solid defensively first and foremost, we've given away countless goals by not defending properly as a team and leaving too much space for the opposition to exploit, with our fullbacks particularly exposed.

We're not going to suddenly start playing good football in an away game when our record/form has been so poor and confidence levels are low.

Confidence needs to build from somewhere, if we can start picking up a few draws and snatching an ugly win here and there that will do for now.

It's a big if at present, of course.

What’s this sensible post doing on here??

Keiran Dowell can't even play the standard overlap pass for Bogle. Useless. 

[Patrick Rams]

How is it possible for top class professional footballers earning thousands a week to play for 4 and a half matches without scoring a single goal... barely even a shot on target?

Takes skill.

Cracking pubs in Burnley and prices to match ?

This is true, Rotherham used to be good for a decent cheap boozer as well. I always enjoy trips to the small run down towns than the big cities to be fair.

Top class is a stretch; they're like... C or D list in the grand scheme of football, and they're not even in the top class within the competition they're playing in.

Although the answer to your question is clearly "disruptive magnetic fields". 

[Millenniumram]

Dowell is a fraud of a footballer

[jimbo jones]

On a positive note, my 0-0 prediction is looking good...

[SaintRam]

Bielik almost scores from range, that was very close.

Lay-off from Waghorn after good play from Bogle. 

[SuperDerbySuperRams]

Not sure what Dowell has done to deserve a start but this should be the last time he wears a Derby shirt

A shot ??? 

god ur reaching for the stars a bit there mate 

id settle for stringing 3 passes together 

this is shocking 

I don’t buy the post earlier 

yes we can be more solid and wisdom is having a cracking game so far ... in fact the back 3 are doing well 

but what’s infront of them is simply embarrassing 

they can barely find a black shirt never mind 3 consecutive passes and some resemblance to giving a poo 

I’m only asking for the basics 

not the moon on a stick

It's because I'm not at or watching the game, mainly!

I'm paying more attention to Saint Ram's realistic, balanced updates than I am to some of the other, over-emotive posts.

[Millenniumram]

Blackburn finally take the lead, due to us not closing their player down. Which is the least surprising thing since Dowells last misplaced pass

[SKRam]

I’m nursing a hangover and reading this thread......
