I was just hoping to see a bit more I keep forgetting we're bargain basement shopping. ? He was alright. To be frank Roy, the thing that struck me was he seemed more like a CF than a winger. He could hold the ball tight to him with 2 on his back. Lot of strength. He nearly got a serious big CF’s shot off bursting through the middle in the first half. .. yes, it is early days. You never know how they will gel in a unit but I wouldn’t like to play against him. RoyMac5 and LeedsCityRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Some good play, better than expected but no final quality (CKR goal aside which was out of nowhere). Aluko was good and deceiving in the middle of the pitch, but no end quality/good decision making. Morrison - didn’t see the awe that some described his performance as. Baldock - all effort, but didn’t have that pace and whoever described him as a Nugent, spot on. The lad who impressed me was Hutchinson. Not afraid to get forward and take people on. Bird - slow and ponderous. We’re worse off for him being in the team. We are not going to score many. Boycie and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 At this point it’s going to be irrelevant whether Rooney is/could be a good manager or not. If his higher-ups don’t get our situation sorted sharpish, he’s not going to stand a chance.

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 5 minutes ago, angieram said: Players that caught my eye first half were Morrison (great use of the ball - if anyone can get him playing like that every week, sign him up!), Aluko, Byrne, Lawrence (despite his header!) Jagielka and Davies both classy at the back and Roos' handling of the ball and quick distribution kept us moving forward. The intent was definitely there to get forward much quicker, with some smart interchanges to transition play down both flanks. You've not been liberally giving our lads the eye again have you Angie? I thought that restraining order had stopped that sort of thing.... ? Wignall12, richinspain, Miggins and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the early government tests of 50,000 people in open air events saw 26 positive covid tests as a result. It would be less true in an enclosed space with only one or two points of ventilation which is why masks should be worn in concourses. If we're being realistic you can't be expecting people to be wearing masks in this heat for going on 2 hours.

Brammie Steve Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It was good to see The Rams' reaction to CKR's goal! The players were clearly pleased to get something out of the game. Onwards and upwards. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that never made it into Samuel Johnson's dictionary, or Blackadders when he attempted to re-write it with Baldrick's help. Mind you, I don't think Blackadder got much further than Aardvark.

The Key Club King Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 1 hour ago, tombomb said: You take one sentence of my point completely out of context and ignore the rest of what I've said to try and be a smart arse? Max bird has been struggling defensively for a year now and offers next to nothing going forward. I would say we could find someone better to play that in that position. I'd hate to see his pass completion percentage on passes that go forwards. You're right I did cherry-pick. Bird definitely suffered from second season syndrome last year and was pretty average in a very, very poor team. Knight went the same way in the second half of last season too. My take on Bird is that I expect him to be a good player that may make the Premier League. I think he was the driving force behind Derby's youth team successes and I think he is smart enough to make the grade. I think he is worth persisting with to return to the form that he has shown previously. ck- and Miggins 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that would wash with the EFL they would point out that Forsyth played CB at times over the last seasons and Buchanan was a CB in the U23, s jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
