It’s not gloating about that at all. It’s pointing out to the vitriol squad that he’s a ram and he scored a goal while they prefer to sit there and snipe from the sidelines engaging in the worst of playground bullying. Gloating ! Absolutely not. Supporting a team member yes ! archram, FlyBritishMidland, Carnero and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t want him running the channels or dropping deep, we want him playing the width of the 6 yard box and fed by decent service. It’s really not rocket science.

Replace gloating for whatever term you prefer to use, picking at other users (even if they have been a bit 'awful') over goals against Matlock and Chesterfield is just a bit premature. It won't lead to anything other than further hostility, and it will give those whingeing extra ammo if he doesn't carry the form into the season. He who has the last laugh and all that. Better to rise above those dishing out the abuse IMO. Edited July 19, 2023 by Kokosnuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it'll feel strange to have one of those again though: McGoldrick, Martin, Howard (IIRC), Biainio, Wanchope our latest successful forwards all known to drop deeper to get the ball. In fact 'fox in the box' brings one name to mind (shudders), we are about due one though. ollycutts1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is we all have a view and those views are open to challenge. I chose to challenge the mindset of certain posters who as members of a “fans” forum don’t sound much like fans to me. All our players have strengths and weaknesses but this Collins focus is uncalled for at best and pretty revolting all too often. They are poised with a finger on the trigger. I couldn’t give a twopenny damn if it engenders hostility. I know where I stand as a fan. I can comfortably say player X had a bad game or should have done better with that shot or tackle .. but what has been directed at Collins from some quarters isn’t analytical comment. Its just plain nasty. And as for me … It’s not about being proved right or having the last laugh. It’s about being fair minded and doing the right thing.

Looking forward to saturday, to show my appreciation to Craig Forsyth, great player, great professional, and a loyal servant to the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your opinions and comments on others who have different views to you say otherwise. My comments about Collins are not 'just plain nasty'. You are commenting on me not my opinion of Collins - what does that say about you? How about you allow others to have differing opinions.

sage Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Warne tells the players that today's levels are good enough and Hamshaw says Bird was the only one who played well. Sounds like the coaches agreed with most of what has been said on here. The Scarlet Pimpernel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 For those that didn't splash out on RamsTV. Big season for Bird this year, he really should be stamping his authority on games and dictating play a bit more than he did last season. Nice to see him come back in good shape and looking good in the early pre-season games 🙂 Kathcairns, Caerphilly Ram and derbydaz22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically looks like he can’t play football outside the box. Said this for a few weeks, but we either need to find a way to carry him from open play until the final touch, or, he will need to be replaced. I think Warne knows we need another striker, just not been thrilled with the few links we have at the moment. Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a genuine question as you’ve admitted to not being impressed with the links and Collins doesn’t seem to do it for you, interested what you’re hoping for?
