I thought we were fortunate at times today, for some reason our early goal seemed to send us in to our shell; Bolton have some decent footballers, who exploited that for the rest of the first half and we were lucky not to go in behind. Second half a bit more even. All the best for the run in - as I've said elsewhere I'm hoping we'll both end up in the automatic slots now; but I do think you're probably at the stage where you can't afford any slip ups in the last couple of games. I've just poured a large glass of red. Enjoy your evenings, Rams. Rather be in your position tbh but hey ho. My boy's at Pompey University so I know the place and like Derby it's a one team city so a successful team will do wonders for the area. Enjoy your promotion lads👍 SKRam, Crewton, downsouth and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving up centre midfield and carp finishing did the job..... RadioactiveWaste, CapeTownRams and RoyMac5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pssst your just voicing an opinion not stating fact ) Did you by any chance see the flicks and one touches on the right touchline in the second half ? Did you see Sibs and Wilson roasting full backs ? Did you see Smith spotting outlying runners and dropping meet balls in to their path when under pressure ? Did you see Tommo and Wilson doing give and goes ? Clearly not from the drivel you just posted. So you think we are more of a technical side under Warne than a physical one? At League One level we simply have better players than the rest. Yet largely we still don’t dominate possession and play through teams. That’s not a bad thing. Warne will get us promoted this season, no doubts, and he deserves credit for that. But claiming his style of play is more technical than physical is just laughable.

First few minutes he got caught in possession, couldn’t seem to get past his man, and couldn’t shield the ball. I found myself sadly reflecting on how our once most promising junior player has seemed increasingly lost as the season has gone by. I was ready to give up on him. And then “something” happened. I’m not totally sure what the “something” was, but something seemed to click. I think it was when he received the ball deep after about 20 minutes and instead of trying to muscle his way past, he shimmied, cut inside and was suddenly in acres of space. From then on I thought he looked dangerous every time he had the ball, and was definitely in the top three players on the pitch. Let’s hope he can build on this.

What I don't know is how far an athletic but not technically gifted team can go. We remember the likes of Wimbledon and stoke but if truth be told, I'd rather we didn't use those as the blueprint.

But you are looking at only a few examples over the past 20 years or so. There are far more examples of technical teams progressing and achieving success than physical. Ideally you would like a blend of both. I think McClaren initially actually saw that weakness from Clough’s side and thus added height/strength in Thorne, Wisdom, Whitbread and Keane.

Are you suggesting that only technical teams win in the championship or indeed in football in general ? The irony is that it is a player like Adams who is both physical and technical has made a huge difference to our performance as a team when for example Bird and Hourihan for all their technical abilities have struggled in physical games. You play in a way to beat the opposition. To suggest Warne is fixated on a style as Macarthy often was is as inaccurate as it is unjust.

Chester40 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Defence was as rock solid as ever. Nelson was quiet really as Cashin attacked the ball defensively and Bradley offensively. Sibley worked his backside off and was his best game in a long while. Wilson was up and down like an animal and so strong. They made it a back 5 and a back 3 as and when needed. Smith, Adams and Thompson all-action, scrapping, ratting and running the game. Collins won a lot of headers and NML without looking especially likely to score or assist (and missed a good chance) was full of beans again. No poor performances. Got the goals, dictated the game. Another Warne masterclass when we score early. Even looked like we may create a goal from open play 2nd half. We went from a 2/10 performance to a 9/10 in 4 days. One last big performance next weekend and hopefully we can watch a procession on the last day.

You play in a way to beat the opposition. To suggest Warne is fixated on a style as Macarthy often was is as inaccurate as it is unjust. The original point I made was that more physical sides are better at set-pieces than technical sides. For some reason you claim this is drivel when it’s pretty evident, especially outside of PL level where the riches allow Liverpool and City to have players who possess both. Warne evidently favors physicality over technical ability. The reason why Adams looks technical is because he is playing a league below. Derby’s players are better than most at this level, regardless of physical attributes. Adams didn’t cut it at Championship level with Cardiff yet League One appears a breeze for him. Warne has succeeded by getting us to at least match, often overcome the opponent’s physical attributes while seeing our higher individual quality come through. We have won countless games this season just through individual quality - the sort of quality the opponents don’t possess. At Championship level we won’t be able to rely on that, because with a lower half budget, we’ll likely come up against opponents of better individual quality. norwichram, Carl Sagan and sage 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 On the game..... Excellent response and result. I had us down for what I thought was an optimistic 3-1 but after the disappointment of Wednesday, this was a good effort from all, including PW. The folks were happy with the performance so sounds ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
