TuffLuff Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Also I’m not gonna add to my Collins thread from a couple of weeks back just yet, but I think the key difference between home and away is that at home Collins can move defenders about more and create gaps for shots because of the size of the pitch. Away from home on tighter pitches I don’t think he can do that as easy, so the opposition can near on make a wall in their own box whilst we are passing around the box trying to find that gap.

Personally, I don't think we need to change things, have a plan B etc, we need a good end to the transfer market and try to bring in a Jack Marriott - someone thats gonna bag 20 goals in League 1. Typically you need 80+ goals to get out of the league, back to front we're doing everything right, just need goals ?

Sibley needs to start and try going 442 - disappointed in Hourihane TBH; poor corners, passes going astray (especially second half). Expected better and I know he's capable of it. His corners were excellent and with variety! BramcoteRam84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerphilly Ram Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 The players agree with us on needing to convert their chances, so let’s hope that’s where there focus is IslandExile, jimtastic56, RadioactiveWaste and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Just seen the brief highlights on the Sky report, it seems to show that this game was more down to bad luck and heroic defending than poor finishing. Their keeper and defenders made some great saves/blocks, just one of those could have easily finished up in the back of the net.

If he's on for the 90, playing in his best position, we create enough chances to win that for me. He created an absolute hat full and he frees up other players with his runs and excellent touches and movement in the final third. If Sibley doesn't start the next game Liam can put himself in the bin. 1 hour ago, HorsforthRam said: LR after match interview re. Sibley. Says he’s got a big part to play. Feels he’s effective being used against a tiring team (after 60 mins) when the game gets stretched. When I saw the starting line up I didn't expect us to score. Dobbin has one good performance as sub and is brought straight into the team. Sibley has been outstanding in every performance this season and Rosenior refuses to start him. What's that about? Seriously?We have only scored all season when Louie has been on the pitch. Zero goals without him playing. It is unfathomable. Of course Rosenior will start him in a second string midweek in the League Cup, but this team which has not scored a single away league goal so far, needs him there from the off in every league game. If Rosenior really thinks Sibley's more effective coming on off the bench, then Rosenior doesn't know what he's talking about. Which is worrying. While it sounds as if we were a little better today, the frustration for so many of us is it's clear we could be so much better but the manager is beginning to appear too stubborn to see what's so obviously staring him in the face. What's "Derby" short for? "Derby nil" at the moment. EnigmaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Dobbin looks really lively but played too deep. Why he starts, dunno, but at least he starts instead of Smith. Sibley is looking really strong (at last he's 'grown up' ? ) when he held that challenge off running against the last defender you knew he's more than ready to start games.

LR responded to the issue in a number of ways, including by using even more width, which caused problems, and (sometimes) by taking more care from attacking set pieces. We threatened today and were unlucky and we will surely continue to adapt to deal with the park-the-bus problem.

We have the joint best defence along with Ipswich atm ? Lets remember where we were a few weeks ago before David Clowes stepped in and saved us from oblivion. A lot of pundits had Ipswich and Sheff Weds down as favourites for promotion this season, they have been in League One for a few seasons now and their starting point for rebuilding was far better than ours. I agree its frustrating not to score and win games we dominate but other than scoring goals there is a lot to be pleased about watching us play. You can see the team has progressed and is starting to gel nicely since the opening day, we just desperately need to start scoring. I'm still hoping a couple of signings will come and add some firepower - if they do, we still have a helluva chance of getting out of the division at the first attempt. If not, and its mid-table this year, we've laid the groundwork for next season. Fla Ram, Caerphilly Ram, May Contain Nuts and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 2 hours ago, Orphanram said: Hourihane comments about us needing to wise up and influence ref’s in the game are interesting. I noticed him berating Bird to get up to the ref as the Captain and get in his ear after a poor decision. Yes, because Hourihane getting in the ref's face earned him a booking and the subsequent awarding of a string of soft free-kicks to Fleetwood. Worked well that! ariotofmyown and HorsforthRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Howard took a few games to settle in before he scored plenty. Fozzie rolling crosses in from the left at will today, especially in the first half. Collins hasn’t seen that before in anger and wasn’t in the right place. That’ll change plymouthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
