Ram Logan Josh Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 He also says "... I've forced myself to drink more..."*. Following the Rams has also forced me to drink more, so he'll fit right in! *I think he's talking about proper hydration in the article...

ANGERMAN1 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Here's a great tactical analysis of how Warne likes to set his team up. I'd like to highlight the willingness to adjust his formation when things aren't working, as well as this paragraph (which may ease some concerns amongst a few of you): "Instead, Warne’s side are actually quite flexible, capable of playing out from the back, going direct, or even sitting deep and counterattacking." https://totalfootballanalysis.com/team-analysis/rotherham-united-202122-their-defensive-record-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics FlyBritishMidland, Ramrob, Ted McMinn Football Genius and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Maybe on a par with Colin's pre-game 'you've got to... for 3 points' I thought this was top, top, motivation. From Dimmu's post: Ellafella, YouRams, RAM1966 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Fascinating read, and shows how technical football can be rather than just a load of blokes (or women) running round a pitch after a bag of wind. And another example of why Liam is still very much learning and has more than once got his tactics wrong against more experienced managers. Warne may have "only" managed Rotherham but he's done extremely well based on the budget and standard of players at his disposal. If this analysis is anything to go by, he has more than a good understanding of tactics and is happy to switch as the game dictates. Give him the likes of Knight, Collins, Davis, Cashin, Barkie, McGoldrick, NML etc and he could surprise any doubters.

Carnero Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 If 3-5-2 is his favoured formation then, as we saw Saturday, we are well set up to play this way with the squad we've got. GK: Wildsmith (Anang, Loach) CBx3: Chester, Davies, Cashin (Rooney, Stearman, Forsyth) WBx2: Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen (Oduroh, Roberts) CMx3: Knight, Bird, Hourihane (Smith, Thompson) FWx2: McGoldrick, Collins (Sibley, Dobbin, Osula) *Also players like Rooney (CB/DM), Knight (RWB, CM), Roberts (LCB, LWB, DM), NML(R/L/C) & Barkhuizen (R/L/C) call fill multiple roles within this shape.

And there hangs the reason why our performances have been so frustrating. Look at that team - it should put the fear of God into any other team in this league.

BramcoteRam84 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I’ll wait and see. If he adapts to what he has and has been given an unfair tag through simply managing to his situation at Rotherham then great, he could well be just what we need. You can’t ignore he’s really got Rotherham going well this season and this could’ve been the season they survive comfortably, still might. But we’re very different to Rotherham. Maybe we’ll see 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 based on that article. Im not in favour of this move, the jury is out for me but I want him to succeed, we need him to succeed, I wasn’t anti-rowett like a lot on here , if we see attacking winning football not only here but back in the championship I’ll be happy and laud him appropriately. angieram and S8TY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly Dalton (who went to school with one of my Primary school teachers, whose maiden name was Bond!) is very good in the role, but both of his films are average...

Spot on - exactly why that particular bit stood out for me - no disrespect to Rotherham but we have the players to do exactly that. NML, Barkhuizen, Knight - and more, whose natural thought is to attack, not play sideways or back. Jury obviously out on Warne, but if he can instil this mentality, with the likes of Chester, Cashin, Davis at the back we may actually win an away game!
