In midfield, right?

Player/Manager?

[Ramarena]

Good tackle from cash after he’d ducked up 

[Caerphilly Ram]

Subs incoming

[LincsRam]

Cashin with a good saving challenge as the last man .... after giving the ball away in the first place by being so slow to pass and try to go through the man!

[Cam the Ram]

Warne making subs before the 70th minute

[Sparkle]

I haven’t been able to get to the game tonight because I have managed to break my arm in two places, so I am missing more grief.

I will take this opportunity to ask - if we signed Bradley to score from set pieces then why don’t we play him as a centre forward? Because his defending is of a very low standard so far.

Also I thought Nelson was very poor when we always played against him in the championship and he is now reminding me just how poor - anyway Blackpool didn’t want to keep him which is noticeable as they are also in the third division with us.

I will repeat- if you play with 3 centre backs it’s because you are not good enough to play with two.

Why? Because of our array of brilliant footballers? 

Because we are the biggest club in the league (in terms of budget) and we should be playing like a top side gunning for promotion, dominating the ball at home and putting teams under pressure. 

If our manager doesn't get that, then we need to change. 

[one_chop]

Claude Davis & Albentossa would be a better pairing than our clowns.

[LincsRam]

looks like a back 4 now

[Millenniumram]

A BACK FOUR

THERE IS A GOD

EDIT: Spoke too soon, gave Warne too much credit. He’s not that clever

We look better because we’ve had a flurry of set pieces. The issues from open play haven’t been resolved at all I’m afraid. 

[Caerphilly Ram]

Thompson and Washington on for Collins and Bradley, back 4 of Wilson, Nelson, Cashin and Forsyth.

EDIT - Shaun Barker said it’s the same shape, back 3 of Fozzy, Nelson and Cashin with Wilson at rwb and Thommo the lwb?

Missing the game cos you broke your arm? Lucky git.

[CapeTownRams]

So Fozzy moves to the center and Bradley off…: figure that one 

 

[r4derby]

60 minutes on the clock, and I can safely say this is one of the worst performances I’ve seen from a Derby side. Nothing new, same as many have said from the previous 2 home games. Abject

[DJFern94]

That is every game so far that Bradley has been taken off right?

Not to look at trying to replace the manager but a future appointment I’d seriously look at is Paul Simpson

Back 4 with tommo LB.

[Sidd10]

Just when you think he’s going for a back 4 and get more players up the pitch… he switches a midfielder to LWB and Fozzy to centre half 

its like they have an extra man on the pitch

As manager. Did wonders with England under 20s and a good job at Carlisle. I’m not saying to get rid of warne as he needs time I’m just stating for a future appointment.
