Boycie Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We’re down. Slow out from the back, no desire to get the tempo up from the defence. Hollywood passes from midfield to the strikers. Striker link up play depressing. Forget the admin points, and the incoming ffp points, we’d be down anyway if Mel had stayed on.

Van der MoodHoover Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 So if we accept the need for a complete reset, shall we just wave the white flag with the EFL, get all the shizzle, embargoes etc out of the way and try to move on?

Not the best time to be a Rams fan or Derbyshire cricket supporter. Maybe Bielik’s return will give the team a lift… Boycie and rammieib 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I refuse to give up, it's still only November. Yes the last couple of games have been bad. But it's not over. We win on Saturday and the other teams around us lose, which could happen, we're then only 4 points from safety. If we can get Bielik playing we'll get those wins we need.

Yani P Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 put this in the matchday thread but probably fits in here .. Ive watched every game this season, we have played really well in most games without always having that cutting edge required. last couple of games (and first half v Coventry) have been the worst ive seen (apart from the late debacle at Peterboro).. why? Any number of possibilities - many already mentioned.. Thin squad fatigue? Those over 35s getting knackered? Moving away from the solid defence - hit them on the break style? Bottom of the table itis? CKR back? I really dont know...tonight has done no damage in terms of our position v safety...but psychologically I do worry about the impact and the big gap now to 23rd..I mean we played great v Preston without getting the result - they go and win at Bournemouth tonight - so we know we have the perrformances in us.. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't look like we can score. Barnsley were nothing special tonight and if we'd had a half decent striker... europia and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 I know the teams tired, but when I see the goalie dawdle on the ball when his centre back is up front and we are a goal down I kinda think what they are thinking. They can’t even pass a ball in front of a forward moving team mate. It’s always to feet, no matter if they’re in full flight of not.

Roos is meant to be good with his feet? But the pace of playing it out from the back is close to static. Boycie and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Interestingly we had 15 attempts at goal to their 9. Poor as we were, we should have drawn. Miggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 a lot also depends on what happens in January - new owners, a bit of quality added to the squad maybe? might make all the difference. I put in the stats threat that my big worry was the number of games we play before January, and the difficulty of a lot of those games. We are going into a bad run of form at the wrong time with games we need to be picking up points in - we have some very hard games coming up and lots of them..

Jourdan Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Of course we are not down. How can we be down with 30 games to play and 90 points to play for, or even 81 if you include an incoming points deduction? We have ten games in the next nine weeks to build a platform for the second half of the season. This is where Rooney sinks or swims.

They could have won too, it wouldn’t be the first time more attempts on goal didn’t mean a win or draw. Its just depressing, if we’d have drawn that we’d have been very lucky. The desire just wasn’t there, stats make fools of people. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we are relying on other teams charity and we seem to be doing the reverse when gifting the opposition goals. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
