Teams are happy to leave with a point. But we can be rubbish and so can they. If it was a draw I would feel aggrieved because we were better in the second half, but the first was as 0-0 as you can get. I think as soon as we went with the three CBs, it gave them more impetus. We did well to go straight back on the front foot after conceding, but that was mostly because of Fornah. We edged it in the end but there’s still a lot of room for improvement.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Just got in... First half was deadly,deadly dull with Collins returning to his party trick of being in the wrong time and the wrong place for the majority of it.... Second half much better,the game opened up and Mendez,again was the difference. In the end I was very happy....I saw Chris Martin again score a cracking goal at pride park and we still won the game! It's all bleeding coming together... somehow. COYR! Walkley Ram, Caerphilly Ram and jimtastic56 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Not sure if its been mentioned in the thread but i found it interesting that only 2 of the 11 that started were Warne signings (Nelson & Nyambe) yet all 7 subs were his signings.

DerbyAleMan Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Also thought that Nelson and Cashin was solid at the back, and Mendez scared the hell out of them. And I thought we looked better when Fornah came on, and why did Sibley start at left back and not Wilson who has impressed me lately. A big game on tuesday away to Port Vale now, need to keep our unbeaten league form going. Edited November 25, 2023 by DerbyAleMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warne spoke about it post match and said it was intentional to use Sibley there due to wanting a natural left footer for the balance of the side and to link with NML. He was nice and positive in his praise of Sibley which is nice to hear as so many on here regularly imply Warne hates the lad (I’m joking…sort of) ; Comrade 86, DerbyAleMan and angieram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did improve second. Can’t be easy swapping positions every time he plays. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one win was the first of that sequence at Blackpool on 3rd October. High time for a statement away performance. Sheff Ram and Norman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaianoPOTY98 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Just got back, still can’t believe he picks the midfield trio of smith Hourihane and bird, never seen it work yet and definitely didn’t work today!! Game changed for me when smith got injured and fornah and Wilson came on, not a great performance especially first half but we got 3 points. Hector was the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Warne know his best side? Does Warne know his best formation? Can we be consistent in levels of performance? I will say putting a winning run together is a big step this season but whether we can go on an unbeaten run we need to get promoted i'm not sure right now.
