Crewton Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Having seen the highlights for the first time, I think there was a strong case for Shrewsbury's goal to be ruled out for offside. There was one of their players clearly offside on the line, behind Wildsmith, who interfered with Elder's attempt to block the shot, but it's hardly surprising that the clown of a referee and his equally inadequate assistants didn't agree. angieram, jimtastic56 and Premier ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 16 minutes ago, DiggerB said: Isn’t this the argument some are making though? We can’t seem to impose ourselves on games with any consistency. The repeated shouts that this is a poor league/standard read sometimes as an attempt to blame the other participants for our inability to finish them off! The team isn’t good enough to do that consistently. Clearly. And it doesn’t look like anyone else can. It can for periods in games it managed to do so from Nov to early Jan but since turn of the year we’ve dipped and it’s a bit of a grind. A few injuries in there haven’t helped. Shrewsbury were hell bent on stopping us yesterday played with aggression and they did their jobs well. It’s the way it goes sometimes.

nottingram Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 14 minutes ago, Anag Ram said: I think the players need to take a lot of responsibility for yesterday too. Shrewsbury are bang average and yesterday was a nailed on three points if the players had just a little imagination. Neither Sibley nor Ward are quick enough to knock the ball past defenders and cross it. However a quick wall pass with the midfield should get them in a crossing position. We all know Ward is the best crosser of a ball in the club but other than a sublime free kick, he didn’t fashion an opportunity. He is experienced enough to work out that without his crossing he’s nothing but he couldn’t change it. Agree to an extent but I think a key issue we have is off the ball movement and players making themselves available. I think that is largely something that is coached - filling gaps, knowing where to be etc. If the entire “unit” of a side looks bad at one time it’s hard to pinpoint it to individuals in my opinion.

Almost broke my hand bashing the barrier in front of me when both checked back and passed sideways/backwards for the umpteenth time when they had acres of space in front of them down the wing.

Yes, Adam’s doesn’t take a backward step. We shouldn’t expect great things from a creative perspective but he will allow others to flourish. No coincidence that Bird has played well in the past two games. LeedsCityRam, Crewton and ariotofmyown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaianoPOTY98 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 1 hour ago, Eatonram said: As long as you don’t ignore the fact we are second in the league and that you wouldn’t be here today if we had won despite a below par performance. Furthermore I don’t buy into the over simplistic notion that a manager is always to blame for a poor performance. That’s where you’ve got it totally wrong Eatonram, if we had held out for a win yesterday I think most would still be on here because of the level of performance! Yes I agree Warne is not all to blame but he employs the tactics and the self belief in the players to get them going out there as winners.

Apart the top 3 who went up, not sure the rest of the league has got poorer/changed too much. It might mean we are 2nd now rather than 5th, but not quite sure that things have changed in our home performances vs last season.
