It's perhaps true that Wayne Rooney isn't 'educated', but that doesn't mean he isn't bright. I know some incredibly well educated, well-spoken people who I think are incredibly thick. It's the worst part of our society - if you talk a certain way people think you're clever, and if you don't, you're not. Snobbishness is deeply ingrained within us. Not sure it's quite the worst part of our society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously that would have been no shot or at best row Z and a goal kick, (different player). ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still unable to fathom how it is that Rooney, who virtually waved Blackburn through earlier in the season, has suddenly become evangelical about players defending all over the pitch. ? But it is so much more positive than before..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarrely he wants to manage Derby County FC. How good is that. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Our defence/team unit are still working miracles Just 3 goals conceded in the last 10 league games - & the best thing about it is I don't consider our performances to be defensive, just incredibly organised and working together as a unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 We have no centre backs contracted to the club beyond this season unless you count Evans who could be going anyway. Big summer coming up for our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamUltraRam Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 3 goals conceded in 11 league games Any statto's know when that last happened ? Under Billy Davies we managed 4 goals conceded in 11 but obviously the current run beats that defensively (we won 7 of those games 1-0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthram Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Conceded 25 league goals so far this season. Only 6 teams in the Championship conceded less and 3 of them Middlesboro, Bournemouth and Brentford have conceded 24 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not educated either, if we’re going by GCSE results, just wasn’t interested, Shakespeare, RE, cloud types, wouldn’t say I’m too thick to understand, just didn’t find it interesting enough to engage with and for me that’s a real issue with education these days. I stumbled into creating websites and the rest is history, found my calling if you like. Rooney is probably the same with football, I wonder how many teachers said to him as a kid, you’ll do nothing in your life if you don’t knuckle down and went on to earn more in a week than they would in 5 years and classmates that went on to Uni to pick up degrees and now stacking shelves in Tesco. This is way off topic, now ooops ? Genius in bringing forth this forum. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The bit that stands out for me is we are very often doubling up on players in position to put crosses in, we really are working on cutting down balls into our box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
