It’s not the spirit of the beautiful game. It can't happen in the long term. I could understand it yesterday re the team we had out. jono, Tamworthram, norwichram and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the ref didn’t give a free-kick every rime one if their players dived to the ground - just 95% of the time. One if their coaching staff got booked just before the final whistle, probably for a similar moan. Chester40 and David Graham Brown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong though DavesaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but that’s only because Adams hasn’t played at the Bernabeu yet. IlsonDerby and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll doff my cap to Warne IF he gets is up, but, bloomin-ell, I’d love to see some sustained ‘good’ football from the Rams, circa original McLaren.

And that's the nub really isn't it... especially next season with no restrictions, no excuses about them not being his players etc... if we continue to play that way every week without the results he won't last long. Can he genuinely change? Tbh I doubt it.... so its whether we keep on winning games or not. Carl Sagan, sage and norwichram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the spirit of the beautiful game. This is the thing though,it should be alien,but it's not,it's the same thing most weeks,get a goal sit back and defend often resulting in late goals/dropped points making games more difficult than they should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 What a win!! What an atmosphere- not Bolton but still good. I was buzzing post game and still am today with the win and the results going in our favour. Must say yesterday a few beers in i thought it was decisive and we’re definitely going up. On reflection there is still some potential squeaky bum time yet. Bolton could be 3 points behind by the time we play Pompey. A loss to Pompey then Bolton have the opportunity to draw level with us if they beat Bristol before we play again. That would really put the pressure on. But I’m convinced we’ll get over the line. Last 2 home performances are evidence we’re shithousing our way to the finish line and I don’t care at all. At this stage it’s all about getting results however you get them, and I think Warne has tactically got the better of Evatt and Critchley in the last 2 home games. For all Blackpool’s play they didn’t look like scoring and we nullified their threats. I have no issue with us playing like this at this stage of the season especially with our injuries, challenge will be if we’re midtable in the championship playing like this every week then pressure would rightfully mount on Warne if not next season then definitely the season after. Right now though let’s just enjoy the results and being in a promotion race!! kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, Derby4Me, David Graham Brown and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorsforthRam Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I doubt the same tactics will work on Tuesday night if we’re open in the middle and allow the opposition so much ball. Pompey have more in attack and I fear those little passes into the box rather than crosses. Maybe we should go 3 in the middle … Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
