Brammie Steve Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Can I have a go? I have no concept of strategy. My idea of defence is to use Ronseal. Attack keeps carpets in place. Midfield is where they put that big circle. As long as the numbers add up to ten it doesn't matter what formation the team plays in. I may be clueless and useless but at least I'd cost less in wages and be cheaper to sack before the end of my contract. Ideal Rams manager material I reckon!

They were generally quite scathing about us, but thought we knocked the ball about well for a few spells. Must have been in the little boys room at the time.....we passed it around a bit but created next to nothing and we looked vulnerable defensively all game...

I'd still take it over having Tony pulis Four quarters of 15 minutes (or two halves of 30 minutes) where the clock is stopped every time the ball is not in play is an idea I'd love to see trialled tbh. No more time wasting at goalkicks, throw-ins, corners or free-kicks. No need to have arbitrary added on time for each substitution, goal or injury. No advantage gained for feigning cramp or injury by correctly assuming that time wasted is never added on properly. Once it's been trialled and seen to improve the game as a spectacle then maybe a quadrant could be added to each corner to stop teams shielding the ball in the corner too.

Asanovic70 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) @Jimbo Look, football's about units, isn't it? Defensive reshuffle, so a collapse late on, not a surprise. We offer so little up front & don't carry a real threat so that puts pressure on the rest of the side. The fact is, Preston were clinical when they had chances, we didn't create any as you say. We had some possession and pinned them for a period (2nd) but we didn't threaten/hurt them and that is what really counts. Belief has ebbed from this side, we have lost to two sides who were out of form. The rest of the division can see we are rotten.

Sparkle Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 We need a fighter of a manager ( could be Rooney) but we need 3 central defenders who know what they are doing - big tall and fearsome - midfielders who work damm hard in and out of possession and who move to ball forwards - forwards and a lot of them who like to actually shoot at the goal not over it or towards the corner flag but at it and they need to be of all types, big strong quick and skilful - whoever is doing the job next season has a big job on because we lack most of that sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be less time wasted...but more time taken. I can't see it helping games flow. Although, I am often wrong and trips might show it works.

IslandExile Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 A couple more ex-Rams.....I know, I know, please don't use Rowett, Gregory and Todd against me but.... I'm surprised he's not been mentioned yet but..... Chris Powell Was very successful at Charlton, won his one game in charge of the Rams, talks a lot of football sense. His gig at Tottenham will only be temporary. Otherwise..... Paul Simpson Was successful in his own right as Manager, without McClaren, at smaller clubs then with the England kids.

ramboy63 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Could be Frank 2 with Jody he owes us big time,or if it is the new owners decision we could all be barking up the wrong tree and find its a Spanish manager although i do think they did want to work with Rooney heaven help us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
