Cocu took us to the bottom of the league yes, but after Saturday we will probably still be there when Rooney's had 3/4 of a season to change it! I would love to see hoofball, we don’t play that now. I wish we did a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Worst team I've seen in a very long time and I go back to the early 60s of watching The Rams Truly awful and I fear the club is rotten all the way through old tray boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Lack of leaders on the pitch. Normally in any group you tend to get a few who are vocal, people who lead and encourage, doesn't matter who the captain is, there's normally two or three who lead from the front. Without Bielik and Curtis Davies we appear to lack that natural leadership. While players like Shinnie, Knight, Clarke, Byrne even, give everything physically, they are not vocal leaders, the type of characters you want to be constantly giving orders, possibly CKR is in that category but ideally you need two or three further back giving it some vocals, whether encouragement or orders, we seem very quiet. The players are possibly not the worst technically, certainly no worse than many we've seen over the years but seem rudderless and incapable of making decisions themselves. I mentioned it after the match yesterday, but the 5 minute period where Swansea won the game started with Joz passing a 5 yard ball 2 yards behind the player it was intended for straight into touch. At that point, the natural leaders are required to bolster the team, keep the spirits up, arm round Joz, all that kind of stuff. I get the impression they are all expecting someone else to do it. Jake Buxton and Richard Keogh would have the same bunch of players safe in mid table. We've probably missed Curtis Davies as much as Bielik for his leadership.

Some of these players had been good/superb but were way past their best, some would become good players, but not yet, and some, of course, never were nor ever would be any good. Only a very few of these were playing at the required standard. As a whole I suggest this must rate as one of our worst squads ever.

The 11 point team were bad but they were playing against the likes of Ronaldo and Torres etc. This bunch are making journeymen look like Ronaldo and Torres. old tray boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
