Ramarena Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Good result considering the circumstances and nice to see a system that makes better use of the players available. It may not have been by design but hopefully the management take this onboard. Caerphilly Ram and Miggins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I don’t think he’s the man for the long term, but full credit to Rooney for today in making the best of a difficult situation, a COVID outbreak. He got his calls right today and we got a much needed result and some of our younger players got some precious exposure to first team football. Plange scored and Williams started. Jozwiak at wing back had some influence and the back three kept a clean sheet. The challenge now is for Rooney and the players to back it up. However, will that be possible? We don’t know how long the missing players will be out for, which will stretch the squad. We also have a tough run coming up too. I don’t think today was lift off but hopefully it will encourage us and we’ll see 2-3 battling results in the coming games and some more pride on show.

I would assume the players will be back next week. Unless there is a genuine illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I have been a big critic of Jozwiak this season but I thought he played well today all bar that horrible moment near the end when Curtis saved his blushes. Great endeavour shown today. I thought the officials did us good today. They were so awful we looked fired up for a change ? Miggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPRamFan Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 What's so great about this squad of players is, any time we've had a bid of a setback whether that be a points deduction or covid outbreak, we've bounced back with a win thereafter.

But I realised how it might sound as soon as I hit submit. The only illness I would wish on any of our players is winningitis. Pearl Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wayne said after the match it was close to being postponed but he wanted to play the gane. Also unlikely any players back in time for next week, timing wise 1 or 2 may be available but wont have done any training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Great battling performance today, no passengers and that’s makes a huge difference. Well done Plange with the goal, proper poachers goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 That was a very satisfying performance, especially as we had two players who could play up front and we played them bothe up there! That is a first! As someone has said, there were no passengers today, with everyone putting shift in. Stand out for me was Max Bird, who gets better with every match. I was also very impressed with Luke Plange, not only for his goal, but his all round play was excellent, including his defensive work, as it looked like it was a natural part of his game, rather than something he had been told to do. The only downsides were Fozzy, who although he did some good stuff, he also "liabilitied" too many times today, but thankfully got away with it. And Jagielka, who has brought a stability to the defence we had been lacking. his positioning and reading of the game is great, but far too many times when he gets the ball he simply has to kick it, or head it "somewhere", especially when he has the time to fetch ball down and start a move. instead the ball just loops to the opposition. It was good to see Joswiack having a good match, and his excursion into the area, although ill advised, only became a problem because he was fouled as he was about to turn away from the striker. The shirt pull twisted Kamil's body nearly 90 degrees. As ever, the ref did nothing. I had wondered what the EFL penalty is for fielding 12 players, because it looked like Blackpool had done it today. But the reality was that it seemed pretty much as though this was the first football match the ref had ever been to, because he gave a load of really dodgy decisions in our favour, although he was ridiculously trigger happy with his cards for Joswiack and Lawrence. OH well, it is what it is, and me shouting loudly at the officials actually changes nothing! They still deserve it though! Today was encouraging because we were able to up the pace in the second half, and we played some really good football at times. There was nothing thrilling or scintillating, but the right score at the end of the 90+ uttoxram75, RoyMac5, Dordogne-Ram and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wistaston Ram Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Just back, Deserved win against a surprisingly poor Blackpool side. Looked like it might be a good game for the first 20 mins, but became scrappy with all the stoppages. A big shout out to the Blackpool fans who turned up in good numbers and were class in their support of our plight. Loved the banner! angieram, LeedsCityRam, Indyram and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Of course we were made to play, average first half second half much better, joz deserved that to of gone in but glad Plange got a goal on his debut, thought he was very good, was nice having an out and out striker on the pitch! Good win! Also thought the referee and linesman were shocking! RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambalin Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Pair Plange with Stretton if he can stay fit and we could have a potent strike duo in the comng years......issue maybe that the better Plange does the more others will get interested and he is only contracted till the end of the season. dabber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Given all the readjustments in the last 24/48 hours it was an outstanding three points, and full marks to Wayne and the coaching team for switching the formation and getting everyone ready. A real victory for hard work and commitment. Pretty boring game til we scored, then we looked decent. Never looked like conceding. Blackpool were pretty poor, but shout out to their supporters who travelled in numbers and know what we're going through. Like the look of Plange, very good movement.
