hintonsboots Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) You wouldn’t think we can still make the Automatic places, but I still believe we can. Plenty of twists and turns to come. The key is beating Argyle away. UTR.

Ramarena Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Let's hope that's a blip. We were second best for the majority of the game and didn't deserve anything due to the lack of desire, effort and carelessness with the ball. Move on to the next one and hopefully they get a massive rocket up the arris from Warne. We're better than that.........much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had two winnable home games last time we ducked up away, and didn't win them both. .. that's seven goals conceded in last two away just plainly unacceptable . Our poor away form is again putting too much pressure on us at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK47 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Anyone know who the starting 11 were today? Didn't recognise a single one. Warne will definitely have a thing to say I'm sure. Not even gonna go into criticising today as I could be here all day. Write this one off, every team has a game like this, let's hope this was our only one. ?

lrm14 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Missing Bird massively in these away games. I don't know whether we're going into these away games planning to play kick and rush or if we're being forced into it by the other team but it's incredibly frustrating to watch, especially when you consider how good we are on the ball in our home games. The concerning thing for me is that the highest placed team we've beaten away from home is Port Vale who are 16th, so while our away form has improved under Warne it's only been a marginal improvement. I think you can safely write off the Plymouth, Peterborough and Wednesday away games but hopefully our home form will hopefully carry us through to the playoffs. angieram, LeedsCityRam, HorsforthRam and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampant Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Might be time for Jake Rooney in a DM role away from home. LeedsCityRam, Rammed79 and derbydaz22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 We missed more good chances than they scored. NML put some exquisite crosses over first half. If only we'd managed to sign a striker. A poor performance just highlighted our small squads weaknesses. Very disappointing. hintonsboots, Hector was the best, Crewton and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites a good player but he doesn’t have Birds defensive qualities. The number of times today they had a player sat between their midfield and attack who was picking up the ball in acres of space.

The obvious answer is for Knight to sit deeper. Another option is Tommo. We’ll not beat the stronger teams if we give up the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfield is getting bullied. What do people see as the solution until Bird is back? Playing Rooney or Smith in midfield away from home? Or perhaps a change of shape (which I know everyone dreads) to more of a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 in away games. Would a back 3 of Cashin, Forsyth (or Davies) and Roberts make us a bit more solid away from home? Sibley and Smith as the wingbacks dropping back into a 5 in defence and pushing on into midfield in attack. Just to steady the away form, might not be pretty but get back to grinding out some draws and wins away from home then revert to a back 4 and 3 in midfield for home games.

Too many players had a poor game today. Edited February 25, 2023 by RoyMac5 HorsforthRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
