ram59 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 49 minutes ago, Scott129 said: Excellent performance. Nothing more needs to be said in that regard. Bit worried about Barkhuizen though. He noticeably pulled up with his hamstring about 5 minutes before he went off. Hope he's OK as he seems to be hitting a big of form right now. I noticed that also, but seconds before he actually come off, he sprinted for a through ball without any sign of discomfort. Surely, he wouldn't have risked that at 3 nil up and just about to be substituted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 37 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: It was an odd one on the post-match with Warne. Radio Derby had been banging on about him being injured so they asked the manager how he was. Warne replied that when he substituted Barks, the winger claimed he was absolutely fine. At which point Warney said something to him along the lines of "then why were you dragging your leg along the pitch as if you were a mermaid?" Our manager is mad as a box of frogs, but is getting results. He sat straight down in the dug out without any treatment, ice pack etc. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he’ll change much, he’s brought a good group of players together and made them excellent. Just one or two positions need more cover was what he said in the post match. Seems like it’s a squad that’s as well-organised as it is motivated. Looks like people have more confidence in our manager now than they have had for many moons. A new and lengthy era perhaps?

We have a good squad, but there are clear opportunities for growth if we can bring in the right players. Question of course is with our current model how much we are actually allowed to do. therealhantsram and kevinhectoring 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriggRam Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Good result today after weathering some early pressure.......rewarded with the perfect 4th round tie, home to a struggling premier team in West Ham, full house, pretty certain it will be televised, and definitely with some luck winnable ??? jono, Comrade 86, Mimester and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Very impressed with Jake Rooney. That kid can defend, play and reads the game well. If anything happens to Smith at RB, we should be ok. The way he uses the ball and reads the game, defensive midfield is another position made for him. 48 hours, SKRam, Tamworthram and 10 others 7 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstaRam Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Great to see the pressure Knight, Barkhuizen and Collins put on the Barnsley defenders. Looks easy but really do need some good collaboration! This team starts to look like a proper TEAM, got to love it!

We just don’t look like conceding and surely must score a hatful soon we are creating more and more chances. The work rate of the whole team is exceptional UTR I agree, but that slow start had me grinding teeth. A good save by Wildsmith, and a squeaky bum moment when Cashin cleared up a mess. It could have been a different game, and at that point we did look like conceding. We rode it, came good, class, discipline a bit of strategy and a lot of fitness saw us through to a comfortable win but we can’t start games like that if we want to be serious winners across the board.

Yep, ?? and from an entirely self centred POV I thought, good lad, you saw (and experienced) what we the fans saw. it really does bode well, there is an intriguing honesty at the moment. I suppose,having been round the block for 64 years, you can say these things when we are winning and on an upward curve but it does feel right beyond that doesn’t it ?

gfs1ram Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Anyone else notice Curtis waving to the South Stand at the end of the game? Maybe he always waves like that and I had not noticed before but to me could easily have been interpreted as a good bye wave ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is playing staff this season for sure but get the feeling there’s a bond with the club the extends beyond kicking a ball in an 11 man game on a Saturday . Curtis will be around a little longer in another role. He’s part of the foundations now. Legend is misused as a term in many cases, not Curtis … He is what legends are. You don’t need to win a title or score 20 goals. You have to be a made of the right stuff. He is.

I thought the same of Jason Knight at the last match before Christmas where he waved and fist-pumped like crazy, to a degree he doesn't normally do. I was sure he had already got another club. Besides, Curtis always makes a point of making good acknowledgment with the South Standers, like he does with all the other stands. He's a great bloke! jono and SKRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was two stands left empty but worse thing I could not have my own seat at the time my block was shut off I dont see why we could not keep our own seats.
