Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Wasn't there so can't comment but from the face if it, the match sounded dire and we failed to kill off a bang average side. We really need to turn in a good dominating performance, something we've not seen since Oxford. Tactically though we are questionable. In terms of a positive it can only be that we have a rock in the middle who is key to the outcome in May. Hopefully we can get CBT moving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 We picked up a point and 2 better goal difference on Peterborough. A team that was promoted in September (Oxford) failed to win. And 2 teams promoted in January (Peterborough and Bolton) failed to win. Adams is looking like a decent addition. Cashin will be back soon Washington will be back soon. We have yet to unleash CBT.

Tyler Durden Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The "answer" to this will lie entirely with the mindset of the poster. As the previous poster has just admirably illustrated.

littleover ram Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 We’re still second for now. I’d rather have the points on the board than games in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Whilst nobody was outstanding, I thought Bradley had a decent game and is continuing his rehabilitation and confidence build, same for Ward. Sibley again proved again how much he has matured in terms of his defensive role. Yes, most of us would prefer to see him playing further forward but he has proved (IMO) that he is safe cover for Fozzy and not the hot head seen a few years ago. Finally, and not just for scoring the goal, Bird has proved that his heart is still with Derby until the end of the season and he’ll do the best he can to help get us promoted. Finally, finally, no new injuries (I assume/hope). Nyambe was replaced before his niggle was aggravated and Cashin wasn’t risked. We might well have won if Nyambe had stayed on and/or Cashin had played but there might have been a longer term impact if they had.

SSD Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Adams makes the team very solid down the middle. Excellent signing, we need to look after as best as we can. Allows Bird and Hourihane to get on the ball and play some football without having to worry about sprinting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTom92 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 After 30 odd games it’s in no coincidence or luck we’re in the running for promotion. You don’t get there by fluking wins. But we do seem to win in spite of ourselves as opposed to blowing teams away or crushing them with our sheer class. Think ultimately our season will hinge on the results against the teams in the top 8. Win more than we lose = good chance of autos. Win a couple, lose a couple = play offs, lose them all = 7th place again? Think we’ll churn out the same level of performance, think results depend on whether the opposition can match us in the dirty part of the game or not.

YouRams Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Wrote in the matchday thread how solid we look then inevitably two of them had to come off and Shrews score. Keep Adams Nyambe Cash Nelson fit not much will get passed us rest of the season. If we Billy 1 nil Davies our way to the championship I don't care how we get there.

I know this as I've just been on the BBC Sports website to make sure of this so it's a fact rather than opinion. I don't believe (which IS my opinion) that we've got to this point by fluking a whole run of results so this is something that Warne is doing right. It also is heartening that we can still be hyper critical of yesterday's substitutions etc when we still are second in the league.

I'd add that I saw plenty of games like yesterday last time we were promoted (narrowly) from the third tier - and that team had Gregory, Davison, Hindmarch, Micklewhite and Williams, who equally struggled to overcome an obdurate away team that, on paper, weren't fit to lace our boots. The only teams in the top 7 who got the result they needed were Pompey and Barnsley, both by narrow margins . That's how the run in is going to be, so those of a wishy-washy disposition had best get used to it.

CBRammette Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 We didnt lose! Others did. The crowd had better vibe. The positives are all regarding individual performances rather than tactics/team set up. Bird is playing like a weight has been lifted snd responding well to having Adams with him. Not sure which is leading to him looking strong but perhaps both.

Foreveram Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 We were second in the table before the start of the game, we were second in the table after the game, if we are second in the table at the end of the season we are promoted.

TomG Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I, along with many other fans, am yet again a bit disappointed that we were unable to beat a team sitting a number of places below us in the league, at home. It's getting to the stage where I am starting to think that we have more chance of winning away from home than we do at home. It's hard to understand why we struggle so much at home, especially with the home support we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kiss of death for any football manager is poor performances AND poor results. Even the most narrow minded supporter of the club has to begrudgingly admit that second in the table is a good position to be in. If we were hovering around midtable then my stance might be different however as we're not then it's a moot point.

If you would rather not say that's fine. I have no hidden agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
