Papahet Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Bird was absolutely dreadful, heads been turned. Mendez Laing still nowhere near fit enough to last an hour let alone the full game. Poor Marriot Ram99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jortat Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 We deserved to win. We didn’t win. Play like that each week and we will win more than we lose . Small margins win games and I’m positive for the season . COYR🐏 Premier ram, DCFC1388 and DavesaRam 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 7 minutes ago, Bris Vegas said: There is a reason why Warne’s Rotherham got relegated every season. His record against the better teams is simply woeful. He is probably the only manager capable of taking over a PL side and breaking our 11 point record. Spent about 5/6 years there, have I missed something and they ended up in the Vanaramma Conference North? Jortat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 That was very disappointing. Scariest thing is that we seem to have bought two central defenders who can’t play football. They were both awful. Can’t believe it was Cashin who got subbed. Do people really believe Collins is going to score goals? Might as well have Thompson up there for the impact he has. He might make a midfield player but he won’t be a goal scorer as long as his rectum is anatomically correct. More pace needed throughout the team. Bird started well and faded and I thought Smith was steady but the rest shouldn’t have the nerve to claim their wages. Finally, can anyone explain why we’ve nominated as captain a man that stops running after an hour? Baffling. Wigan thoroughly deserved their win because they looked like they meant it.

oldtimeram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Well that was not good. The defence was ropey to say the least and we have no real attacking threat. We are not going to get out of this league playing like we did today Ward looked like the only player capable of putting in a decent cross but Warne took him off? Can't work that one out We desperately need a striker now Hector was the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Draw probably a fair result, lack of depth up front clear to see (I’m saying no more).. But the most upsetting thing about the second half is that we’ve had 10 minutes added on and couldn’t even produce a half chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Well that's a depressing anti climax!! Still first game, team not yet complete and we will get better. Impressive wins for potential rivals but it's a long old season! Edited August 5, 2023 by RodleyRam SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Looking at that, we've had a terrible transfer window thus far, some of the glaring areas that needed to be addressed from last season just haven't been touched. I don't believe that it's hard to find good players to represent this great club, even with our limited financial situation. It appears the manager and his assembled team just don't have the contacts across the UK, Europe, further afield.. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

Jimbo Ram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 We have played one game which we should have got something out of. Can we at least give it until the end of August before we self combust….

Charliegeorge1962 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) I was hoping for us to be better than an average league 1 side. With Derek Hales sorry I mean Collins still getting a game this will not happen. Shocking display!

Andicis Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The good: Ward looks a really good outlet, always positive and put some decent crosses in today. Forsyth did a really good job of getting up and down the pitch and scored a great goal. I thought Bird had some positive passes and touches in good positions. The bad: The defence and keeper. What was that lads? 2 calamitous goals and generally looked like they had no idea what each of them was doing. I felt Wildsmith should do better with both goals, certainly the second. Collins and Mendez-Laing largely pretty ineffectual. The subs didn't offer much. Overall, I felt we played well in spells but you can't defend like that in any division. Really needs tightening up and fast. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hintonsboots Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 5 minutes ago, Kernow said: We made these errors and very nearly made the play-offs though. It's annoying to lose because of errors, but I think we will add to our squad, whether it's a significant improvement or not remains to be seen, and we can push on after this month. We're under restrictions that still give us a bigger budget than the majority in this league, and we'll still have more quality than the majority too. I agree that the squad isn’t complete yet, but I was disappointed with the performance of some today. That early header from Bradley would have changed the whole game. It’s fine margins in football but you can’t gift two goals and expect to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Gift teams two goals (and three other gilt edged chances) and it's always going to be a struggle. We were well on top when they got the second though. We were one paced, lacking flair and absolutely needed two or three attacking options plus Sibley and Barks fit...but we'd have got away with without calamitous individual c***-ups.

May Contain Nuts Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) We Warneballled the s*** out of them. Unfortunately we also Warneballled the s*** into ourselves Hoon it into the box. Hoon it into the box. Hoon it into the box. Defence winning every ball? Continue to hoon it into the box. Have a slow defence/midfield? Tell them to push forward to get onto the hooning into the box even though it leaves massive gaps at the back, what could go wrong? Amateur hour tactically.

Up front still looks a bit short of where we need to be of course. Onwards and upwards. Andicis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Ram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 It's only one game but pretty much the same as last season, play well, don't take chances, lose to a mistake or two. Bessie1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
