If he could do that, it may go some way to solving one of his many problems. If he could then work on his work rate, his pace, his discipline, his dribbling ability and his fitness then we might have a half decent player. Unfortunately all of those attributes are below par for this league, even for a one-dimensional player such as him. He has scored quite an amazing amount of goals all things considered, despite himself, not because of his ability Steve How Hard?, RoyMac5 and Papahet 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Not a bad effort so far. We will need to add a couple of players to the squad when we het to the Premiership though. kevinhectoring, Caerphilly Ram and Anag Ram 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Apart from the goal it’s mostly been Derby. There’s absolutely no reason to believe that we can come out in the second half and take this to them. Come on you Rams!

RoyMac5 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 2 minutes ago, Caerphilly Ram said: Nice constructive conversation there. Neither Martin or Collins are very mobile. Martin has a good touch and can finish, so his hold up play would be an improvement on Collins, but would he be able to press from the front? I’m not sure he would. I’m not against Chris Martin as a player, it’s just in my opinion we need a different sort of striker to come into the squad alongside Collins and McGoldrick. A more mobile presence up front who also had a good touch would help this team more. If we were going to go back in for any former Rams striker I’d want it to be Vydra, but given he’s been out injured for a year and left a prem club he’s probably out of our reach. Collins has done absolutely nothing this game and very little since he stupidly got himself sent off. Press from the front? ? Your opinion on how Martin can play is based on how he played for us. But anyway the point is really how awful Collins is. DavesaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 23 minutes ago, Caerphilly Ram said: And yet we’re ahead on the possession stats? Not looking after the ball doesn’t equate to being outclassed, but we are being given a stern test for sure. I said the first 10, not now. We’ve been a lot better since conceding, helped by West Ham sitting back of course. All round a pretty decent showing. Certainly not embarrassed ourselves so far, just that difference in quality showing. Anag Ram and Caerphilly Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been enjoying the battle, he flattened Antonio early on, it was a bit of a throwback to letting your opponent know you’re there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need his composure to spread to the midfield and attacking third and we could nick something here. Bessie1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Sorry but West Ham are considerably the better side for me. Our passing is panicky and we're not utilising Knight or Hourihane further forward as we're not handling Soucek breaking up play. If Collins could have avoided those 10 beers before the game and hold it for a second it may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Get Collins off and get Brown on - blood him where it doesn't really matter! Edited January 30, 2023 by RoyMac5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyBilly Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) From a control point of view we did decent against a Prem league side and still very much in the tie. The disappointments are 2-3 chances from CH to put some pressure on (when we haven't created much) and poor delivery. Davies looks like the age he is tonight in so far as Antonio looks like he has the beating of him all night if he wants it. Collins trying hard as usual but his quality is every bit league one bench player. Just hope we can get some shots on goal 2nd half to lift the crowd as all pretty flat with no real efforts on goal.
