Alph Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 If you could make a compilation of the crossing in that game it would be comical But at least players were ahead of the ball. That's a start. And width!! Overlaps!! Passes between the lines! It's Brazil in comparison to most our games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB BIGGS Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 If Cocu had had the final say on transfers, I suspect Martin would still be with us and if not, Dursun would have been bought in instead. Neither of those happened so we're short of a forward and will be until January. I don't see many goals in this team unless we have a jewel in the U18/23s. It must be worth giving one of them a go.

Leicester Ram Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 4 minutes ago, Andicis said: We don't have the luxury of time. We need to get out the bottom 3, and we need to get out the bottom 3 as soon as we can, or the players are going to be sapped of every last bit of confidence they have. We aren't in a position to be giving a rookie coaching team a chance, we need someone who's going to turn this around fast. Right, 34 games left after today, let’s say this staff get 2 more games after today so there’s 32 left. Whoever we bring in as manager should be expected to keep us up with over 30 games to go. That is the absolute floor for what they should be able to achieve. If we’re not hiring someone competent enough to turn things around with over 30 (thirty!) games left then we may as well just all pack it in and spend Saturday afternoons with our families. We have a huge amount of time on our side and an upcoming transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flatter to deceive. We play patterns but never look like scoring a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimsbyRam Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 1 minute ago, DerbyRam! said: Not much difference then. Still can't score. I thought they looked more positive and tried to press. We looked comfortable and they didn't create much. I agree we are lacking creativity and to me Knight needs to be central. Not a slight on him but he is not a winger. Rooney was done after 60 minutes again. Whittaker looked more positive out wide. We are not going to do anything dramatic until January as we do not have the personnel to change this round and become free scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I agree with that. Simple fact is we aren't good enough to keep a clean sheet and we don't score goals. A recipe for disaster. We can't blame refs for that.

TomG Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The 'management team' now have a short period of time, not only to look at what the players could do better, but also what they could do better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 It’s not a case of ‘performing’. You cannot win games when you’re not scoring goals and at the moment we are not scoring because a) we persist with Lawrence b) we don’t get bodies in the box. We brought a centre forward on in the 88th minute. If that’s progress I’m out. We need a proper manager not a carp version of the Apprentice.

Ramslad1992 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hope they let fans back in next season... Lincoln away is only a ten minute walk for me. Write midweek off as we never do well at boro, next weekend is a real 6 pointer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PodgeyRam Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I feel like I say this every season, but I am so f-ing tired of seeing Tom Lawrence run into traffic and make the wrong decisions time and time again. Absolutely kills any kind of momentum or promising attacks we might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game that we add another loss to the board, it's going to get harder and harder to motivate the players or give them any confidence. I don't think you should be as relaxed about this as you are. I'm sure Sunderland thought the same way. They've been stuck in League One a while now haven't they?

StaffsRam Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Deserved nothing, got nothing. Goals win games. Can’t complain that the opposition score from their only decent effort when we produce **** all. Only hope that this helps rule out Rooney and/or Rosenior as serious considerations.

rammieib Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This game deserved 0-0. Hindsight is easy but Knight wasted, Holmes poor. We basically don't have a striker and we won't score goals. Players behind Waghorn taking no responsibility to get in behind. Relegation is a real threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
