"At home" It means duck all! The biggest difference between playing at home and away for most teams now is just a case of whether they sleep in their own beds or a hotel room!

How many minutes vs starts and time playing with an injury. Who else is scoring these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 It was a really poor game to watch. Both sides were playing for a draw. I would have been upset if I had paid £10 to watch that on Rams TV. To be fair to Cocu, unlike previous weeks, the gameplan was very clear. Keep it tight, stay organised, fight, stay in the game and capitalise late on. The trouble is Watford beat us to the punch and won it with the only moment of quality in the game. Those are the fine margins in football. There’s no need to pile on Cocu. At least he has tried to adapt and you can see he is desperate to stop the rot. Today was one of those days - when it rains, it pours! But hopefully we move away from three at the back and Rooney up front. It’s too limiting and chances are just too scarce. Rooney showed some flashes of quality but it’s painfully obvious he’s a square peg in a round hole. You can’t have both Evans and Davies in defence. One looks like an accident waiting to happen and the other will get caught out playing out from the back. We have to go back to a back four. In his cameo, Lawrence showed exactly why he is our best player. We don’t look like creating chances without a player like him on the pitch to move defenders around and unsettle them. The other positive for me was Byrne. I thought he had an excellent game. But you can tell he’s used to having Kieffer Moore to aim at, can’t you? We just have to regroup and find a way to win midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holme's should have been a great chance IMO but unfortunately his first touch was poor and he ended up having to shoot with the ball too close to him.

Comrade 86 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Thought we looked OK to be honest. The striker issue still evident but we had our moments against one of the better sides in the league. A draw would have been a fair result IMO. Played some decent stuff at times and that without players like Sibley, Ibe, Jozwiak, Bielik and Waghorn. Took a worldie to split the teams in the end. MOTM - Jason Knight again. Kid's a human dynamo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat sheff Wednesday and Blackburn 3-0 and we thought we had a real team, since that day everything has completely fell apart and we’ve progressively got worse. I mean we’ve lost 4 out 5 this season scoring 2 goals. What the hell is going on? Personally I’d be quite happy if he was sacked as I can’t see it getting better under him but he’s only going if he quits as we can’t afford to sack him. Its going to be a rough few weeks and Forest will no doubt smash us next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I thought Evans was partly to blame for the goal at the time but just watched it back, absolute quality goal. Not a lot in that tonight, we actually had the better chances (Rooney’s chance!) Liking the defensive structure, got to work on getting players back and getting the right balance to give us more attacking threat. Shame we couldn’t get a point tonight that would set us up for the next 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
