SouthernRam Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The pitch is in awful condition and us training on it must have made it worse. Is it some bizarre attempt at making it hard for the opposition to play? If so, we might have just crocked our most influential player for years.

I didn't see it tbh, but a full tear won't allow you to place weight through it, so if he'd done that he must have hopped off rather than limped off. Didn't Thorne walk off in pre season not to be seen for 8 months? I've always associated ACL with minor pain and always worry about players with what look like minor knee injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 5 minutes ago, SaintRam said: Don't know for sure but the obvious theory is that we're cost cutting throughout the club as we run out of money and the grounds staff have taken a hit. I think there is an element of that and when you factor in the short turn around between the end of last season and beginning of this then it's hardly surprising it ain't in great shape. The ground staff won't have had as much time to work on it and prepare it for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriot Ram99 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Unfortunately Bielik seems like George Thorne Mark 2. Great player but ruined by injuries. Positive side is that Bird now has a chance of some more game time and hopefully he can improve on how poor he was early on in the season and prove his worth.

Andrew3000 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Phew. A really good half from us spoilt by Bielik injury of course. So sickening and how can we not fear the worst? Very cruel if serious. They've had a little spell and looked sharp. My worry is Waggy, can he step up and offer us something? Other than that, we are still playing well with good tempo and sharp passing and movement. Very encouraging, an intriguing match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We were absolutely superb there until Bielik went off, best performance of the season so far in possession. Passing and movement was fantastic, levels above what we’ve shown most games this season. Looked far more likely to create chances. Since Bielik’s injury we’ve lost our way though, and Bristol have dominated. Understandable after the shock of a long term injury occurring, but we need to get our heads back in order at half time or we’ll throw this away.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Rooney needs to earn his keep at half time, pick the players up and get their heads back in the game. We're a goal up with 45 to go. We can win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The good news is we've leap flogged a number of teams. We wouldn't have prepared for Bielik coming off, so it's good to get into half time without conceding. A good chance for the coaching staff to reorganise the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't think they've shown a replay of the Bielik incident yet. I don't know if they will, but I hope so. There didn't look much in it, and the way he held his knee with the rest of his leg "limp" below, it just didn't look like an ACL. Obviously this is all guesswork and we may not know for a few days. That could be a killer with the timing, as we would have to decide whether to replace him (if possible) before the end of tomorrow. Our fate really could rest on it. To be honest if he's back this season I will be thrilled based on his reaction. It's completely ruined my afternoon despite us winning, so let's hope its not in the players heads still.

Birdyabroad Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Kin ell, we are cursed, I’ve turned the game off - I was enjoying every moment until the injury. It’s just one piece of bad news after another, after another being a Ram at the moment. I would like to go and hibernate like a bear in a cave for the next four months, wake up at the start of summer to learn Covid’s old news, lockdowns over, Derby survived quite comfortably in the end and are now owned by the Worlds 4th wealthiest man, Bielik just sprained his knee after all, my Bitcoin has quintripled and Megan Fox has finally returned my calls.

Shang Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 From the replay it looks like his foot was planted and the Bristol City players knee clashes with his and knocked it sideways. It doesn't look like an issue with the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just looking at ACL re-rupture rates and their allegedly running at around 4%. I'd say it was nearer 80% at Derby. Felt like someone had punched me in the gut when Krystian went down. Of all the players to lose, it had to be him. That will have hurt the lads. Now is the time the warriors like Shinnie and Kazim need to get into the lads and make sure heads don't drop, but that's a tough ask. Seen some bad injuries playing rugby including two broken necks. It's really hard to stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think their substitution and change of shape has as much to do with their revival as Bielik going off. Ref also have them 2 soft free kicks which helped their momentum. We should have been 2 up though. We have to learn to score a second goal when we are on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The replay looks like he plants his right leg and the knee buckled and kept going in the same direction outwards. Not good whatever it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
