ram59 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Oakwell stadium on Wednesday 10th March at 7pm. I've noticed that nobody has started this one, so maybe I can bring some luck. Sorry, if I'm treading on somebody's toes. All that counts now, is getting some points on the board, by luck or judgement. I'm touching wood as I post this, hopefully it'll work.

If you don't mind me asking, is 59 your age, birth year or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 They press high and fast so we have to bypass that. Forget style for this game and try to be more direct is what I think we should do. They play 3421 so will overcrowd the midfield so we have to have numbers in there. I would go with - Roos - Wisdom Edmundson Clarke - Byrne Knight Bird Watson Forsyth - Waghorn CKR Idem Buchanan Mengi McDonald Shinnie Sibley Beni/Roberts Jozwiak Gregory Think Waggy has the energy to press and play alongside CKR. Watson deserves a start and has made Bird look better when he has been on too. 3 young lads in centre mid could be dangerous but full of energy to match Barnsley quick press & counter. Id go with Fozzy, Buchanan needs a break, looked out of sorts vs Cov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Well Barnsley are 6th, two places above Cardiff so I presume we’ll be resting the big hitters for the Millwall match being as it went so well last time we did that. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Hobhead Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I don't see how we beat them. However, we've won quite a few games I didn't expect to. And vice versa. The joy of supporting us right now. Big fan of their wingbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's a tough call... we need to create more, but somehow without sacrificing anything in defence. Roos Wisdom, Edmundson, Clarke Byrne, Knight, Shinnie, Forsyth Watson, Sibley Kazim I've not heard anything about Marshall being available again, so Roos to keep his place. Knight back into the middle of the pitch. Forsyth in for Buchanan purely because he can put in a decent cross. Watson to start... he's the only midfielder that has always looked for a positive pass in his last couple of sub appearances. Not particularly looking forward to this either. Their pressing game will really punish us if we continue to tit about with it at the back. COYR! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birth year, so I had the great fortune of being on the Popside in the 70s, a far cry from what today's teenagers are having to put up with. 2 hours ago, DCFC1388 said: They press high and fast so we have to bypass that.

LeedsRam1999 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Roos Byrne Wisdom Clarke Buchanan Bird Shinnie Watson Joz CKR Sibley Joz and Sibley to get close to Colin for a more direct approach. Bird and Shinnie to be the ball winners in the midfield and battle. Watson as we need someone in the middle of the park who can drive and be influential. A lot to ask for a young lad but if you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Can’t see us winning against probably the most in form team in the division. Would love to be proved wrong.

uttoxram75 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 We've been poor recently and Barnsley have won 7 on the bounce. Can't see anything other than a comfortable win for the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector was the best Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The weather forecast for tomorrow night is not good. Could be called off. Give us more time on brainwashing the players to start playing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
