davenportram Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Not his shot stopping but his shithousery. After Peterbrough got their second one of their players took the ball off him and he went down holding his head. He was not touched on his head. He stayed down and got treatment for a fake injury. I hate faking, but faking head contact is just trying to get a player sent off. Needs stamping out the game.

Bessie1 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Well said. It was embarrassing. Should’ve been booked. Let’s hope Warne has a word. Tamworthram, TomG, SKRam and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richgee1976 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I don't agree with what he did, but how many times have we had similair happen against us? Ram1988, GboroRam and MickD 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthDerbysRam Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It was great situational awareness imo. Opposition stood around for a few minutes after the goal at a time when their eager to go at us again. Warne can get his message across to the players in the meantime in prep for the last 5 mins of the match.

Carl Sagan Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It was really important not to allow Peterborough any momentum for an unlikely comeback. I remember how Mings having lengthy treatment squashed any chance of us equalizing in the Villa playoff final. Wildsmith's game management is a massive bonus for us. I understand many "purists" on here will disagree, but I admire his professionalism. I don't want us to be plucky losers.

Ken Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I always wonder why so much of this goes in Premier League and Football League football where there are cameras at every game. Your friends and family can see you've faked it, in a few years your kids and grandchildren may see it, how embarrassing would that be. Anyone over 20 should not be faking it like a child, if you are in a battle you need leaders and strong characters, those with a faking it mindset are the ones who you can't rely on when under pressure and will end up costing their team points. If he had got sent of for faking it we could have lost, drawn or still won but face the next game without him. ramit and Grimbeard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Warne will probably encourage it. During his time here he has hinted we are not 'coy' enough. Its a tactic that always frustrates me in the game but its very effective and undoubtedly stopped them having a chance of getting another and giving us shakey legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the ref do his job, there's no need to push Wildsmith over, even if he's overexaggerating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 These 'injury' time outs annoy the hell out of me. Virtually every game players. usually keepers who can stay on the field, are going down 'injured' in order to break up play when the other team is getting on top. This gives the coaching staff the chance for a little team talk and to regroup their players. The sooner it's stamped out the better, but having said that, if teams are doing it to us, then I will begrudgingly accept us using the same tactic.

Wolfie20 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Thing is, when a player on the scoring team picks the ball up after a goal and then runs hell for leather to place it on the centre spot, does it really lead to the game restarting any quicker? I doubt it in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
