eddielewis Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Frustrating loss but there was very little between the sides. Wildsmith must have been wearing his boots on the wrong feet kicking was abysmal today. Back before the Charlton game when there was 16 games to go statistically teams that land in the top 2 on average won 10 drew 4 and lost 2 this is our first loss since then. We can allow another but we can't let this loss effect us too much. Keep the faith! SKRam, ck-, JPRamFan and 5 others 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t been a particularly great watch all season. I’ve not really blamed games on him this season but today for me he takes most of the flack. At half time you could see the back 3 was hindering us going forward. Easy change to make take Bradley off bring nyambe on and move Kane further forward and go 433. We didn’t even muster another shot on goal second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Barnsley were really up for this one. First half was good to watch, back and forth and both sides created chances. Panicked in the second half and the football became a hot potato of hoof and "av it". Not a big concern thanks to Bolton losing. I have seen a lot worse under Warne. He tried to keep in solid, adding in another midfielder. Backfired unfortunately and it was too late at the end. Elwood P Dowd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 An entirely predictable game really. If gayle was fit enough to play 2nd half, he was fit enough to start. He should have started Gayle with Barkhuizen and in my opinion, Paul Bottled it and opted to go entirely defensive. We have missed the opportunity to improve our position on Bolton and have let Barnsley right in it. strawhillram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’m as pro Warne as they come but the record of the season shows he has been out thought and fought in the games of those teams around us. Not played poorly per se but if you go over those games he’s got decisions wrong, personally for me today that was taking off Sibley who was causing problems and linking nicely with Cashin and Bird. We kept going wide and it was covered. It’s going to take a hell of a run of games with an unbeaten or even a strong winning streak. We are capable but there’s not enough evidence over a season to show that it’ll happen now.

I think Ipswich last season would have something to say to be honest. Although it's quite clear 90% of the football from all sides in this league is tragic.

Jayram Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Why oh why can we never take the game to teams like this, why are we always so on the back foot? We are second in the league; we should have gone to Oakwell full of confidence and swagger. Barnsley are the sum total of f*** all and yet we gave them too much respect. Its the Derby way every season, bottling the crunch games. Will the Ram, strawhillram and LeedsCityRam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying I want Derby to play exciting football I’d rather get out this league. What I am saying on this game and others the back 3 doesn’t work. Mendez is not a striker he’s way better out wide. Get a back 4 and move to a 433 Jortat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Draw would've been a fair result but Bolton losing at Blackpool is worse result for them. And Bolton & Barnsley still have to face each which is their game in hand on us I think. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not very good, but CLEARLY, neither is the entire division. You don't fluke your way to 20 wins out of 33 games. Unless it's because we are the second least worst team in the division. We have the players to storm this league, but tactics far too often are hopeless, and one wonders what they don't the training ground all week because it clearly isn't "pass and move". This must be the 5th or 6th time we have had a golden opportunity to make ground on the teams around us, and we have thrown it away. A good team wouldn't keep on doing that. Despite my doubts, I have travelled a huge distance from the "Warne Out" position I held after the Stevenage match. But that nagging feeling remained, but was held firmly tied up in the corner. It has just burst the ropes that were holding it down like Samson before his haircut.

Unfortunately on this forum you can’t criticise the manager in any form although today I thought in game management and tactics played a huge part in this defeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a shambles really and nothing much positive other than Gayle getting some competitive minutes. You can’t go into a promotion 6 pointer and not lay a glove on them. End of story! Management and players need a long look in the mirror. Unfortunately we let the mirror go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blondest Goat Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Doesn't matter who we play week in week out the opposition move the ball much better than we do. I know passing isn't the be all and end all but we make getting up the pitch look such hard work. I just want to watch us get the ball down and play some nice football for once. If you do that more often than not you will win. Jortat, S8TY, strawhillram and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanoakaram4life Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 So so disappointing! 1-0 and you’d back us to show the grit and determination to get a point at least. To loose it on a set piece will break Paul Warne’s heart. Bolton and Pompey to play, and plenty of twists and turns to come in the season. However, for me, if we are going up automatically, we are limping there rather than sprinting! Ramarena, SKRam, 1967Ram and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
