Yhe performances excellent for the last 2, patchy before that. That’s true. But normally good results lead to increased confidence in the team which in turn leads to better performances.

Ram-Alf Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Having just watched the highlights...a few things to add. 1. The Penalty...having watched football since 1966, Played, Managed and refereed the game...I can put my hand on heart and say...it's one of the most obvious penalty's I've witnessed. 2. Cashin...wow what a cross for a centre back 3. Cashin...wow smashed his way for the goal 4. Cashin...wow his value must be £50million aint that right B4 😉 Ramrob, Patrick Rams, Mimester and 7 others 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched and seen lots of stats that show the causation/correlation from performances to results, but not the other way round. That's not to say it doesn't exist though - as we are indeed witnessing an example where our results have been excellent whilst performances have been steadily improving. We were playing well "in patches" a few weeks ago, "getting results" a bit before that and now putting in dominant performances. I wonder if it also works the other way - lose a couple of games in which you've been the better side and performances tail off.... I agree with you that both are on show atm.

Old Spalding Ram Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Pinched from the Oxford forum. Just analysing their goals - and of course credit must be given to the quality of the deliveries into the box - but Hourihane’s superb corner looks to be flicked across goal by Fin Stevens for the first, Ciaron Brown yet again leaves his man free in the box from Cashin‘s brilliant ball to the back stick where Thompson heads past Beadle and Cashin easily steers in the third getting in front of Fin Stevens. Another top class delivery from Hourihane. Apart from those great balls in there were countless overloads down by both flanks all night and we simply could not stop them. The corner count in their favour was off the scale. We were in effect lambs to the slaughter after that great start but the pressure was mounting from then on to the finale. It was like the Alamo for 85 minutes. Derby arguably the best side seen at League One level in OX4 in the seven years we’ve been at the level. And I include Wigan 2017-18 in that. We were battered. ………………… seems fair comment! 😁👍🐏 Iniestagram, Derby4Me, Zag zig and 32 others 21 1 5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerphilly Ram Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Tamworthram said: Perhaps I’ll have to rewatch the whole game as, after one live viewing, your comments feel a bit harsh to me. I don’t recall feeling any nervousness or concern about his game tonight. It could be any dodgy moments were perhaps down to a change in formation (more exposed at the back?) as time was running out and we had to commit even more to attack? Fairly certain Bradley threw himself into a block/tackle late on when their striker was about 12 yards out with our goal at his mercy. No matter the current run of results, that Bradley has played his part in, some seem hung up on the early errors he made in a Rams shirt.

HorsforthRam Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Didn’t watch the game unfortunately due to a another Christmas gathering. Was sat in a Leeds house with Florist, Notts county, Man U, Arsenal and Wimbledon fans. The Notts C and Wimbledon fans were v happy I was quietly stuck on my phone reading on here and getting messages from mates at the match and my lad who was watching on RamsTV. “Typical Derby…” comments for the first 15 mins thereafter “if we can just get one…”. Fair to say that the beer was flowing at the end!! Watched PW interview after. I really liked what he was saying. Telling the players that we didn’t need to score straightaway, not to force the diagonals. I’m not a fan of the way we try and play at times and we do look predictable. If he can get the players to mix our tempo up a bit, that would really make a difference to turnover of possession which is a big big bug bear personally… Anyhow, here’s to another great performance on Monday and fingers crossed for a good transfer window.

According to t’internet, the building of the fourth stand was shelved when they dropped down the leagues and didn’t need the larger capacity (and obviously because of costs).

Crewton Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I obviously wasn't the only one thinking "watch out, Beadle's about!" every time we put a cross into their box. Poor kid made a few outstanding saves too (Wilson header, JJ shot, Bird flick) but he was like a rabbit in the headlights under the high-ball, and even his 6'-plus defenders couldn't help him.

Wilson is a brilliant player, that 6 at CB was pure class and their attacking midfielders were running the show. The ball in for the second goal was absolutely perfect. Shame about the fans - from where I’m seated in the East, the Derby fans are over the goal, and there was someone shining a green laser into Beadle’s eyes at every set piece. Pathetic.’ 😎 Sad to hear about the dimwit with the laser pen , amongst such brilliant support in the away end last night , we dunna need it !
