Guest Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 The games are running out and we need to get back on track fast. To coin a Paul Warne phrase, I fancy us to scrape a “honking” away win. Keep the faith. 🐏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of hopping over the bridge to do that very thing before parental responsibility put an end to that jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it stops the very thing I was suggesting, objectively speaking it also limits the opportunity for new fans locally. Anag Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripperg-ram Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 After the dust has settled on Mondays game, it’s difficult not to think we should broadly stick to the same starting 11/formation. I’d just change NML for Dobbin. On a different day we could’ve been 4-0 up in the first half. I know this keeps happening - that we give a team a shoeing for 45 mins but don’t make it count and then pay the price in the second half when they get wise, we get tired/frustrated and the wheels fall off. But what can we do? At some point that first half display has to turn into a healthy unassailable lead. But who knows what’s best? Certainly not me.

Jram Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Please just don’t let him start Collins. I’m not really sure what he brings to the table. Can’t finish and doesn’t particularly seem to win headers or second balls- Mcgoldrick is far more effective in both those regards Would much rather have a more able player player further to the pitch ie knight, Sibley, Hourihane, Dobbin jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Chester injured again , Collins should miss this one and play Sibbo wide left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he starts or comes on from the bench on Saturday I’m hoping he carries on in that vein with an added goal or two.

Only about 10 yards from goal. I appreciate he probably does stuff that I don’t appreciate but I’m just constantly frustrated that he is seemingly in the team to battle for possession from balls played up to him, win headers and score goals and he seems to have a terrible success rate with all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be wearing a Rams shirt but keeping it covered up obviously. My contact who got my ticket could possibly get you one too @Anag Ram. Let me know if you want me to pursue this.

For me: Rooney Fozzie Cashin Roberts Smith Knight Bird Barks Didzy Sibley Yes not easy to drop roberts but he’s not always careful in possession. But would be fine to see him start. I like Barks on the right as well (and NML’s end product doesn’t match his strength on the ball). I would like to see Chester at the back tho, protected by Smith. I like Rooney on the ball but his positional instincts for me aren’t yet developed and we need clean sheets given how hard we find it to score goals.

It’s not an easy call - I can’t believe how often he’s back in our own box picking up the pieces. Very hard to judge how valuable he is given his work rate. If only he could damn well head the ball MickD and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
