whiteroseram Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Collins looks so much better with someone like Ward putting those balls in, you can see why we haven't always got the best out of him. Not saying I'd drop RN or anything, he's been brilliant, but can see why Collins hasn't looked like what he could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silence may be due to the Covid era type atmosphere. I'm getting unreasonably excited - if we have two trips to Wembley in one season, surely we'll win one... A little unfair on the few that attended. I don’t know if they were standing/sitting near the microphone but I thought they made a commendable attempt to create and maintain an atmosphere. Heck, I even heard the bounce at least once which must have looked a little bizarre. SKRam, angieram, Crewton and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I’m afraid I still think that Collins, whilst a great team player, isn’t the natural goal scorer we need to elevate us. However, he has been in need of a partner who can score goals and who has more guile. If TJJ can stay fit then we might be a force to be reckoned with, especially with the support of Wilson and NML. I really can’t see a place for Hourihane in our best XI because we’ll need Fornah’s energy to protect the back four and keep the flow forwards. Not getting carried away by wins against lower opposition but it’s much better than a month ago.

I knew there would be people on here moaning about it from the comfort of their armchairs and I was right.

Especially pleased with the first two and as @angieram mentioned previously, Wilson becoming a very firm favourite. Good lad! Enjoyed it with an almost surreal atmosphere. Winning is a habit whatever the competition. Well done to the whole squad and management. He's entertaining, isn't he? Every time he gets the ball, you can hear the buzz from the crowd, same with Mendez-Laing. Every club needs these sort of players, and they thrive on the encouragement.

It's getting harder to make any effort to post given the relentless chugging away of some. It's like feeding trolls. Absolutely. Those who stay at home have no right, in my mind, to criticise the lack of atmosphere/ support. Also, criticism of the team, manager or individual players, should always be constructive. Surely we should all hope they do well, rather than being poised at the keyboard for every individual mistake? Collins isn’t Ian Rush, but he tries damned hard. Bradley has had a nightmare start but is starting to look better. Warne got too grumpy and defensive in the face of criticism and I think that’s affected the team in the past but players are back from injury and a team is emerging and PW deserves great credit for his perseverance. If we can’t enjoy the current run then what’s the point of being a ‘fan’? archram, FlyBritishMidland, Caerphilly Ram and 7 others 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Unfortunately a lot of Rams fans have dug themselves into a hole over the Papa Jon’s cup run, by their non attendance/ criticisms.

eddielewis Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 For those who care about this cup or love a good cup draw it's on Friday on Sky Sports News at 6.30 It's still a North/South split so we could get: Blackpool Doncaster Bradford Accrington/Lincoln Bolton Burton Wigan/Stockport Matches played around week commencing Jan 4th Who do we want then? It will be interesting to see if teams fully put out their best XI from now on let's say if we draw Bolton or Blackpool Mucker1884, SKRam and jimtastic56 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerphilly Ram Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Watched the goals back this morning, it’s good to see the variety of set piece takers increasing our attacking threat. Although he completely got his targeting wrong, Hourihane being on the edge of the box to take on that long shot that Collins turned home is where he should be from time to time. With Waghorn/Ward/NML/Sibley all capable of putting in corners and free kicks, and Hourihane’s recent delivery being a bit questionable to me, I’d like to see more of that set up when he’s in the side. Gives the defence another threat to think about and as we saw last night can lead to goals. FlyBritishMidland, angieram and archram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a cold watch but a good game with good goals and good individual performances all round. And well done to the 100 or so that did their very best to create an atmosphere. It was interesting seeing the safe standing barriers in place. There looks to be new vertical barriers that run down the terrace as well as the horizontal/seat level ones. DC developments are certainly investing in the ground after some period of non investment. It’ll be interesting to see where they go next. jimtastic56, Crewton, angieram and 4 others 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
