Can i say it yet? Not a free agent but we’ve missed the boat with Glenn Murray, going on loan to Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, we're missing a huge amount of senior players and we're against a good solid premier league side and trying a new formation. We'll be fine.

DerbyRam! Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I can't believe I am saying this, but I really miss Lawrence in the team. We miss a good selfish player who rarely looks to play the ball backwards and always wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriot Ram99 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I know it's only a friendly and we have waghorn and Lawrence to Comeback, but if we are relying on those 2 too much who are inconsistent we will be lucky to finish top 10 after loosing Martin. We are crying out for a bare minimum of 2 new signings and ASAP so they can settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Solomon’s really impressed me today. He’s probably been tested more times in this game than in the entirety of last season, and he’s done quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaffyRam Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 On a completely different note, those shirt numbers are horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsRam1999 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Got a sneaking suspicion we will play 3 at the back away from home against the better teams in the division but then switch back to 433/4231 in games we will look to dominate the ball, IE. At home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not convinced at all by the way we’ve handled pre season to be honest. Mismatch of sides put out (not helped by injuries to be fair) and very few players have 90 minutes under their belts. No real partnerships being built in the side, and loads of random youths getting minutes who aren’t going to feature (if we want to have much chance anyway). Doesn’t feel like we’re ready for the season to be honest. Desperately need some attacking quality or well struggle to score any goals in the opening couple of league games.

MaltRam Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not enough going forward to really test them. Missing too many seniors and too fragmented a side and formation to judge much. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarm bells should be ringing. It’s not panic stations just yet but we are woefully one dimensional in the final third and can’t really see Waghorn plugging the gap. Marriott worked his nads off but we have no system in the final third ... we look a bit more set at the back but any hard-working side will match us in the Championship.

Spanish Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I don’t see where the goals will come from. The build up consists of sideways pass, control it, touch it again then pass to someone level or behind. Possession is the only stat we appear interested in.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not great. The lack of quality and depth is a concern. Hopefully the players injured aren't out for long. Wing backs need to be a hell of a lot more brave out of possession if we want the back 5 to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Very forgettable. three at the back means even fewer attacking players on the pitch. We find ever more inventive ways to be slow, defensive and tame. Good performances from Te weirik, Evans and Clarke. Other than that we were utterly dour and toothless. hopefully somebody got something out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know who's available? Who's been carrying injuries and needs to heal? How are the rest of Championship sides doing in the same circumstances? Do you reckon all their fans are loving the way they're shaping up? Relax. It's weird times, but we've got a proper manager, a proper owner, and we'll be fine.
