As per anyone else- just feel free to ignore or debate them….. or move on 😎😎👍 It really was one of those games where hindsight puts a very different perspective on things. First half we set up to outfight them. Pretty dire match with the only chances from our defence making a mess with headers. Second half we started to make attacking changes and became the better team. Still created precious little until NML burst through and Sibley neatly finished what was barely a half chance. So...was it a tactical masterclass where we won the game pretty much exactly as Warne's tactics aimed to? Or were we overly negative, forced to make changes and then a moment of magic won us a game we barely deserved to, against a bang average team at home? Hindsight now says the former, but it could very easily be that the alternative was the over riding emotion. I know football is often like that, but today really was an occasion where the result trumps everything. Bradley was immense. Adams... Cashin.... Our match winners did very little but that's the way it goes. Edited February 17 by Chester40 Crewton and Van der MoodHoover 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 36 minutes ago, May Contain Nuts said: Perhaps, if you want to take Warne's place and present a vainglorious attitude toward today's game and wish to expel any doubt whatsoever that there were any faults in our initial lineup. Unfortunately it seems you're the sort who would read Warne pointing out why it went right/wrong and congratulate him for acknowledging it, while reading the same reasons it went right/wrong from 'anti-warne' posters and castigating them for their opinion. Yeah of course ,, whatever you say 👍👍👍 Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 19 minutes ago, Chris_Martin said: I think you'll find most of our team is championship level, not league one. 'One of the best away records' which is actually only 2 wins in their last 7 away games. Kind of shows the poor standard of teams we're up against if anything Interesting and convenient that you've chosen 7 as your measure of away form (are you sure even that is correct? Haven't they won 3 of their last 7 away league games?). A shorter period shows unbeaten in their last three (before today) with two wins. A longer period shows 5 wins of their last 10. But hey ho, let's not a few facts get in the way of your continued criticism of the manager.

Yes. We were shamefully quiet during the half-time break. How the lads hot through that 15 minutes without any of the fans paying attention I have no idea.

Mick Brolly Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 11 minutes ago, CapeTownRams said: I’m not singling out MB with this in any way but just using this post as a starting point…. But why on this forum do so many folk have to resort to disparaging or nasty remarks towards posters whose opinions they disagree with ? I’ve said before that we are all fans and want success for the Club. We can debate and agree to disagree but criticizing something about the Club does not make someone less of a fan compared with one who always has the rose-tinted specs on. Neither does whether u were at the game or watched it on tv. Neither does the length of time one has been supporting the team. When I look at other teams’ forums I just don’t see the bile that so often rears its head on here. I know there is a certain ‘clique’ of members on here who will always circle the wagons when one of them is disagreed with etc. There are also certain members who are singled out for special treatment because they are viewed by those members as being negative. But that’s their right. That’s what the forum is supposed to be about. It should be an inclusive forum not one where people attempt to bludgeon others to accept their or the ‘party’ line. And to be clear, i and others will strike back if attacked but that’s not what we want to have to do. We won’t be cancelled by the mob. This poster I responded to does nothing but criticise the manager 24/7 and imo he is embarrassing considering the position we find ourselves in this season if that's OK with you gfs1ram, Returning ram, Archied and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 24 minutes ago, FlyBritishMidland said: That’s pretty much how I saw it. Bradley had his best game in a Rams shirt, I wonder if being captain gave him more confidence? I think Warne picked the best starting 11 he could given he’d lost Collins on Wednesday and being a bit careful with others coming back. I also thought his subs were spot on. Smith allowed Bird more freedom and a bit more positivity on the right with moving Wilson there. I think if we want Sibley to play in a more attacking role, he’s best as an impact sub and it worked today. Full credit to Warne, I’ve been critical of his use of subs in the past, but not today. I’m sorry but I really don’t get this place sometimes. We’ve taken 6 points this week and opened a gap on 3rd and 4th. They have games in hand but they’re under pressure to win them and it this stage of the season I’d rather have the points. We win 3-0 on Tuesday and we didn’t deserve as we only had 30% possession. We win today and we only had 2 shots on target. They were organised at the back and did OK at nullifying us and we lost our focal point up front in the week. I despair!! This place is full of extremely top qualified coaches that have won everything in the professional game of football and top quality professional football players that have won every division, every cup and every award. 😂 😂 😂 😂 We Are Derby. 🐏 Super Derby. 🐏 Super Rams. 🐏 I agree with you. I enjoyed the game, we performed well, in a game, that was always going to be a battle and we won the 3 points. Another great week to be a Derby County supporter.

Rich3478 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 That was awful, the subs made me hate football. Really not sure how that worked!
