DavesaRam Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 My biggest worry is that Birmingham are a physical side, and we don't seem to be ab le to handle that type of team. We held out against Rotherham until they scored, and then just completely wilted once the goal went in. Preston were similarly physical, although not quite as brutal as Rotherham, but we still lost most of the 50-50 balls. And has anybody seen the penalty incident in the Forest match? It was supposedly an innocent clash of two players both going for the same ball, but Juckiawicz simply jumps straight into the Forest player, leading with his elbow. It was typical Juckiawicz, and typical Birmingham. And their fans all claim their man did nothing wrong, because roughing up the opposition is normal activity. All we can do is play on the front foot, play on the floor and with pace as big bruising sides tend not to be able to cope with real football. Here's hoping. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, jimtastic56, Deej and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Roos Byrne Edmondston Clarke Forsyth Knight. Shinnie Sibley waghorn Richards. Lawrence we have to score goals and not mess about sideways nonsense- players who shoot please - Birmingham will target Byrne in the air obviously but give them a reason to be defending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Sibley got to start for me being a Derby fan this should be everything I know I’d die on the pitch to win the game!

Leeds Ram Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 We've got to do something to try and manufacture a win from somewhere. I think we have to get on the front foot, play a similar type of football as we did at blackburn with a fluid attacking line up making it hard to defend against. Defensively, we need to ensure that we're solid and get support from the midfield to help them out. Most of all, the players have just got give absolutely everything today- not another preston where the effort was utterly lacking. Today is a must win i think- otherwise I can see us falling below the trap door. I'm already nervous for this!

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) It's absolutely vital that we don't concede first because without total lack of confidence car all know that will effectively and they game when the boys heads drop. Hang on until at least half time then try and play real football as per Leeds fans comments...that way we might have half a chance of winning this. Try and match birmingham with the physical game a and not only will the ref come down on us like a ton of bricks again but it's not something are are capable of doing anyway.

With the ball inevitably and invariably lumped up to him, his hold up play and skill with his feet totally ignored in favour of using him as a battering ram, this despite being unfit, out of form and increasingly losing out in physical battles. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Roos Byrne Edmundson Clarke Buchanan Shinniesta Bird Knight Roberts Kazim Lawrence Joz and Festy would be in the mix too for me in a game that we really need to win and in order to do that, we must adopt a positive strategy and mindset. I'd have Shinnie screening the back 4 and encourage Byrne and Buchanan to get forward whenever they can. When they do, FFS can we please get some bodies into the box!!

Sparkle Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 If we need to score some goals why do people put Bird in the starting X1 - I am ok with him if we are winning but not when we need to score goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYR I’d swap Bird with Sibley just as I think he offers more of an attacking threat, however hope the team is something similar to this and we go all out attack. Come on Derby get straight into them, get an early goal and we’ll smash them. COYR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Well, it's been a few days since the PNE match and I can't say that I'm any more optimistic now the dust has settled. No real positive noises coming out of the club this week, if anything Looney's " It’s on (the players) to now go on and respond well in the game tomorrow" compounds my fears about his lack of connectivity to the club. I want to see a manager hurt in our situation and be hearing "we" a lot more in interviews. Expect a poor selection and tactics, and to be comfortably beaten, and if so he really can't stay in charge for the last 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
