Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 A superb team to make Tom Lawrence, in his absence, look like the creative messiah. No wonder we don't score goals. Couldn’t we have put Sibley in there? I am finding absolutely everything more depressing by the day. 3-0 FRGS Evans it is then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 10 minutes ago, Posh Ram said: Individual players I agree with you both - Bielik and Knight are great, Marshall, Byrne, Jozwiak have all looked good at times, CKR is deservedly a fan favourite, young players are promising, etc. etc. But there's a reason why Rooney can only make 2 subs a game and why after our worst performance of the season we can only afford to make one change to the starting XI. Just feels as if the squad has completely fallen apart in the last year-and-a-half and almost everybody's regressed. That's what I meant by 'League 1 XI' - as in I could see that lineup (minus Bielik and maybe Knight who'd both get picked up by Championship clubs) starting for us in League 1 next season. Anyway, hope they prove me wrong today. We are good with our backs to the wall. COYR They will prove you wrong tonight. They haven’t regressed. Let’s not exaggerate based on average variations in performance when clearly the COVID situation had a real impact. Keep the faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It’s one of them if we get the win Rooney is a tactical genius. But if we lose he’ll be under deserved criticism because that starting XI is so defensive. In his defence we need signings and all parties associated with the takeover should be ashamed of themselves. But still I’d like to see us go down in a blaze of glory rather than a limp.

More attacking on the flanks and more scope for Bielik to move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging how deep our full backs were against Rotherham, this might be the thinking. But I have a feeling they will be pinned into a defensive 5 for large periods.

Ramarena Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If knight is playing in a free role maybe switching with Joz then it’s maybe a decent idea to help out attack. if he’s just stuck out in a conventional right sided attack than it’s a waste of his talents. Sadly whenever i see Evans I worry he’s a usually a passive player and right now we need big performances from here on in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Spalding Ram Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Sky chap at the ground all doom and gloom, even Rooney sounded depressed, refused interviews with Morris and Pierce over the proposed takeover, then concluded that there’s a “shortfall” in finances!.................suppose that’s one way of putting it! Home win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckram Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think the best we can hope for is a point at 0-0 with that team....guaranteed we will score in the first 5 minutes now though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I guess if you don’t score at home to Rotherham the best idea is to just go even more defensive. Obviously Rooney has not learnt from the Cocu days. Thoroughly depressing line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Lucky pundits in the studio for Sky TV. We managed to get a point against Wycombe with this ref. I'm sat in a different end for this one in my lucky Sunhouse Crazy On The Weekend T-Shirt. I can feel all your love for the club amongst the chaos. C'mon Mr Evans I believe in you and the lads. Up The Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I do think that despite Shinnie playing well recently that he’s an ultimately limited player that’s holding back our already depleted attack. Knight and Bielik are musts but with our struggles I just can’t see how Sibley is on the bench? We desperately need a spark and he’s someone who can provide it. May well be that we need to be as solid as possible tonight but at some point we’ll have to sacrifice Shinnie imo. What I’ll say to doubters is that Rooney got us playing well again pre-Xmas when we’d been awful under a Cocu/committee. Looks like he’s going to have to do that again and he did it the first time round by keeping us solid. We’ve always got a plan of attack under Rooney, Saturdays game was an absolute write off but I think we can still get a result tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Looks as if we're parking the bus and hoping for a point. Don't worry about how we're going to get into their half, we'll be lucky if we can get out of our own penalty area. Most despondent I've felt in years.
