Caerphilly Ram Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 6 minutes ago, RoyMac5 said: Seems odd to have started him after being so far away playing international games? Agreed, it seems odd but I think it’s probably circumstantial. I guess the question Warne had to ask himself was does he start NML who has travelled and is possibly fatigued but in theory is match fit? Or start a Sibley/Barkhuizen/Wilson who are returning from injury and a risk because of that? Today wasn’t a good performance, but it wasn’t terrible either, we got a point against a side in good form. The minutes for Sibley, Barkhuizen, Wilson and Embleton are a plus, and whilst I don’t wish injury on anyone, Hourihane’s could end up being a blessing if it means Warne has to start a Sibley/Radcliffe/Robinson.

TBH I missed the early stuff but thought that 1st half challenge by Fornah should have been a booking and so a red? DavesaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they were great singing during the minute's applause. And they did shut up when we scored and a fair few left. And why are they cockneys?

Absolutely pathetic excuse of a football bought about by Warne,Waghorn, Forsyth and Sibley were decent but most players were bang average. Thought Cashin was dog s*** on the ball and Washington is very average, makes Sammon and Mason Bennet look class. Smith was poor as well. If we don't win the next few I want him gone. Very harsh about Cashin. Sure he gave the ball away quite a bit but he also saved us defensively. We know he can do better, but he is having to cope with playing with some of the deadwood Warne has introduced yjis season. angieram, Mimester and InstaRam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Pompey fans were awful spent more time goading Derby fans than supporting their team. Sounds like even before the game kicked off you had no faith.

OoooMarkWright Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I struggled to understand our formation in the first half. Was it a 3 or a 4 at the back? If it was a 4 which it seemed it was on occasions, where the hell was Elder playing? I struggled to understand his role all afternoon. If it was a 3, Elder and Smith have to be the worst 2 wingbacks going forward I’ve seen. They made Richard Jackson and Paul Boertien look like Carlos and Cafu for Brazil. Very odd tactics today. Thought Sibley did well when he came on, linked well down the left. Embleton looked like he couldn’t run, very one paced. Collins did well but drifts to the left too much. Washington is terrible. Despite this, we came closest first half. A point probably fair. Thought the ref was decent, but linesman was awful. Dcfcsr92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to wait till next year unless we stick them on gardening leave and force the issue by continuing to pay them on a monthly basis and bring in someone else. The most turgid, insipid dross I've watched in 40 years bar the last 10 games of 07/08 where they clearly couldn't give a s***. The amount of injuries we're now getting is insane as well. What the hell are they doing in training, assault courses And yet we’re the first ones to moan like little bitches when we watch a team that are perceived to be not working hard enough or arnt fit enough Theres literally no winning for a football manager is there lol MickD and Premier ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how on earth were we set up? I heard the commo guy on RamsTV say four at the back with Elder and NML as wide players? Seriously? WTF. Played a bit more football when Sibs and Barks came on, but where was the structure for the players to play in? Who was where and why? Confused by it all, the players attempt to do things but look as lost as I feel. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was them or nothing .. being as where we were at the start of last season remember 3 weeks before a ball was due to be kicked we were marching for our clubs future… nevermind thinking about who we Were going to bring in agree re ball doing the work it doesnt seem to much to ask for a balanced philosophy in a manager rosenior was too much possession with little substance.. warne is bugger all posession with little substance Wheres daz waz when u want him lol Edited September 16, 2023 by NottsRam77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 52 minutes ago, duncanjwitham said: Most damning indictment of the whole thing was Dom Dietrich interviewing James Collins afterwards, he asked what directive Warne had given him before going on: “be busy, put yourself about and if a chance comes, take it” (probably a slight paraphrase there). If run around and try and score a goal is the extent of the tactical guidance they’re being given, what hope have we got. He just got in Sibley's way half of the time! But with instructions so vague... Are there any tactics at all? InstaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
