Last season we lost out due to still being under EFL restrictions, all the teams around us strengthened and we ran out of stamina. We've got some money this season and hopefully this season we've identified some players that can get us into the top 2.

TomTom92 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Smith minus his Pirlo performance against Blackpool offers us very little. I know Fornah has been mixed so far but rather have him in there than Smith. That said, Bird, Hourihane and Fornah still doesn’t fill me with confidence. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorsforthRam Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Lucky to go in 0-0 at HT with them hitting the inside of the post. We looked much better when the game was stretched. When it isn’t, and Rovers sat in, we looked dire. I also thought Bristol played the ball out well through midfield. They looked decent. When teams sit in, a midfield of Smith and Hourihane don’t look capable of doing anything creative and are also easily played through when we lose possession (which we did very quickly at times). Thankfully, Fornah took responsibility and drove to the byline for our second goal, because at that time, we had cocked it up. All in all, a welcome three points and I will enjoy my Saturday night because of them but not the performance Wsm-ram, JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta, jimtastic56 and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s better than the current alternative though. The pedestrian nature of Hourihane/Smith just doesn’t work. They don’t have the movement on or off the ball. norwichram and Mick Brolly 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t have the movement on or off the ball. Hourihane spends most of his time in the back four where can collect it, play a five yard pass and have an easy life. Bird has quality but never wants the ball and Smith spends his time upfront with his back to goal and just gets outmuscled. His pain threshold is zero. The three off them are never close together so we just play it to the wings and hope, which is an odd plan with the forwards we have. We looked more dynamic with Fornah on and Wilson improved us too.

Feel like we’re missing that magic in the middle but can’t see us pursuing that kind of player until Hourihane has gone. JJs dms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Daly Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I thought it was an abysmal performance glossed over by the fact that we somehow managed to win it.

Whilst today doesn’t banish any demons for me regarding Warne, a wins a win and better to feel good about it than pick fault IMO.

DerbyAleMan Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) First half was dire, second half was better, so pleased for the 3 points, at 1-0 up we nearly messed it up when Mendez did a stupid challenge, who was there to equalise, u guessed it Martin, but then Fornah took control, pulled a perfect ball back to Mendez who made amends for that stupid challenge, 2-1, to the mighty Rams. B4 would have been bouncing after that late winner, and yes tonight we are top 6, 6 points behind Pompy, could B4 had been right all along, Pompy we are coming for u, so tonight I will raise a glass to B4.

Personally I quite enjoy the Hazy Jane Quad from asda - which is similar strength and has also been on 4 for 3, which is just as well as it was 4 quid a 500ml can. Not that I could drink 4 mind.

Defence is fine (despite what some would say) and our defensive record speaks for itself. Midfield we either need a nasty sod who would do the dirty work to free up Bird/Fornah or a pacey creative player in a young Hourihane mould. And a pacey striker, literally just pace and a pair of strikers boots will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
