Caerphilly Ram Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 A solid if unspectacular half of football, it’s all a bit beige but I’m alright with that against a decent side. In the context of how the season has been so far it’s about right. We look like a team lacking conviction and belief at times, they look like a team who have been on a good run and have the confidence of that. We’re very much still in it, with options to come on in the second half. At this stage I’d take a point or a s**thoused win as something to build on with a good run of games coming up.

The only thing I can see they've done in the 2 works week of training is to see who can kick the ball the longest and pass it faster and wider back to goalie. Rowetts team made the play offs didnt they 😉 JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The stats don't look promising..... 0 shots on target 0 corners Minority possession. Getting a tad nervous about my 4-0 prediction tbh... . i-Ram, SSD and hintonsboots 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 HT fairly even game where we’ve probably had the better chances, but pompy maybe a bit more of the play. That said don’t let anyone fool you into thinking pompy are playing beautiful football, they are lumping it long whenever it suits them. We've got a bit of a problem in cm, Fornah is on his last warning so has to be careful and Embleton looks off the pace. We’re going to need to do something about that area as it’s where pompy are strong angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Fornah surely has to come off or he'll be sent off pretty quickly in the second half. Which gives us a chance to change it up. Bring Sibley on and change it around (maybe 4 at the back, Nelson moving to right back and Smith as the lone defensive midfielder). 1967Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well, you see, riveting has certain advantges over other kinds of fasteners, no I won't consider welding, or screwed fastners, no, just going to rivet things...i mean, i could be wrong, but the squad know that they're going to be using rivets, I've got Jake and Birdy heating them up and Kane's putting some work in taking them around the yard. I know some people will say that without a rivet gun it's going to be limiting, but, i don't believe that......" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellafella Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Let’s face it, the football on offer from Derby is dire. No collective possessions just little individual scraps of play followed by a loss of possession. It’s poor & I can’t see anything to be excited by. One goal will be enough to win this … BPV, DanS1992 and NOTSA74 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Mendez-Laing looking like a player whose been starting games at 2 in the morning and has jet lag. It was always evident that his choice to play international football for Guatemala was going to seriously impact a player who was struggling to play in this type of formation energy wise. Our decision at that point should have been the call up is great mate but we have too make a choice as well, your on the list. Had the usual 10 minutes, then the opposition worked out our prehistoric one dimensional kick into the corner footy as per and pressed up. Smith is not keeping his eye on their winger at all. Washington has terrible control. Nelson pick off the bunch. Fornah seems keen on a backwards pass. Hourihane will be out for 4 weeks I'd expect . Should have come straight off. Forsyth must score. I'd love to see 4 or 5 passes without losing it . It's really not the best. LincsRam and BPV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine with Sibley but I hope he doesn't do the other move. Nelson has been excellent at CB and this has been Smith's best game of the season so far, so if it ain't broke... Fornah is lucky to still be on the pitch but hopefully he'll be on his best behaviour second half. We can do without adding a suspension to our current midfield woes!

We started off well and we’re playing some decent stuff, but Pompey started to close us down and our players switched off and opted to go long far too often. If the problem was solely tactical then we’d never have had that positive opening 15-20 mins. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
