I remember a game under TBE when we went top before Christmas, it was a real statement and magical atmosphere (I'm aware we can't go top tonight before anyone chimes in... Boo Warne Out etc.) Sunderland 3-2 or the away 1-0 win at Huddersfield…..great times 😊🐏 Pikeyram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've drunk a lot of whisky recently but I'm sure that's not related) SKRam and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby win 2-1 No doubt the EFL will retrospectively deem it against the rules and dock us 9 points. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With reportedly 1,900 Lincoln fans there should be around 27,000 in attendance. Only 2,000 less than the Forest vs Spurs game on Sunday afternoon which is actually mightily impressive given the current standings of the two teams and the respective timings of the games. Hopefully the Rams faithful are rewarded with a professional performance and the club with 3 more points for the promotion coffers. S8TY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 4 hours ago, Blondest Goat said: You always bite, despite your comments in the Tiresome Oneupmanship thread. 🤣 How's it a daft comparison? They play in a similar position. What does age have to do with it? Sibley is criticised for his work out of possession. Do you think Barkhuizen is any better? The guy never wins a header, he never wins a 50-50, he's about as lightweight and ineffective as it's possible to be. But I don't see anyone criticising him. I don't see how Lawrence is a daft comparison either. He was picked week after week for the one good game he had in a dozen (possibly being generous) because on those occasions he might score you the goal that won the match. Sibley can score the goal that might win us the match too but doesn't get anywhere near the amount of game time. If he has a quiet game or even sometimes just 45 minutes he's off.

Absolutely baffled by that. I think that says it all. I’m baffled that you don’t see that. This whole conversation (from my pov) is about potential versus performance Barks is not going to improve because of his age. He is what he is. Sibs on the basis of his early promise should be improving but doesn’t seem to be. Why ? You and Roy think it’s game time, misuse, and general unfairness. I don’t know what it is, but it’s not anything to do any of the things you guys think. He just doesn’t look special, when a couple of years ago he looked to be healthy root stock who was going to produce seriously good fruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Forest game wasn’t actually a sell out. I know their official capacity is a little higher but we all know clubs quite often can’t sell up to their capacity.

Not sure how much goal threat there will be from midfield though Be interesting to see who out of Fornah and Hourihane gets forward most. Hourihane carries a goal/assist threat as he’s proven through the years, maybe Fornah playing means Hourihane can play closer to the opposition goal rather than ours.

Improvement hasn't come into my thinking. You said that other teams probably didn't fear Sibley and I said that I doubted they feared Barks either. Then I mentioned the out of possession stuff because someone (possibly you) had been criticising that part of Sibleys game. They were the comparisons I was drawing. Nothing to do with improvement. Exactly why I rarely post on here. Like pulling teeth trying to make a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
