Gee SCREAMER !! Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 From Carlisles forum Hope you have a great weekend bluebry, enjoying the Derby promotion party ! I don`t think I`d mind any team going up, by beating us, if it didn`t affect our own league ambitions. Except Leeds, of course. I`ll forever enjoy seeing them fail.

Definitely a good option to come on after 60 minutes if things need changing. r4derby, SKRam and Caerphilly Ram 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houihane has 5 goals and 8 assists. Adams and Smith have been doing just fine and have been consistent.

They have, I’m not saying we shouldn’t use them, what I’m saying is we also shouldn’t ignore Bird (or Hourihane for that matter) if we find ourselves needing a goal and the combination of Adams and Smith isn’t working. Why would we limit our options just because the players we currently have available won’t be here next season, whatever gets us the points to go up is all that matters to me rather than feeling slighted by someone’s future career plans. inter politics, FlyBritishMidland, Archied and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to adopt better tactics than we did there. Such as using the midfield? RoyMac5 and norwichram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overplaying on a bobbly surface can be as frustrating as having cross after cross headed away by dominant defenders. Put pressure on their defenders and hope that the surface causes them more problems than it does us. It's not a day for passing around at the back. On a narrow pitch, the middle is a difficult place to play through a team, even on a flat surface. They'll regard a point as satisfactory, so I expect they'll play ala Northampton and hope to nick a goal - we have to make sure they have to work harder for one than NTFC did that day.

Agreed and Bird has proved pretty consistently that he is fully focused on the Derby cause until he leaves and I imagine would absolutely love to be part of two big wins to close out his Derby career. Anyone questioning his commitment to Derby is way off the mark IMO. Tamworthram, FlyBritishMidland, r_wilcockson and 15 others 8 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm sure Max will want a promotion on his CV to cap his time at his boyhood club. To suggest he won't be committed to this shows no respect to him. I just wouldn't risk him for this game, save for some minutes at the end. ck-, RadioactiveWaste, Eoghan1884 and 8 others 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really played his heart out after the move was announced, there's no way he'd be half arsed if came on in these two games.

If their defenders are dominant in the air, then get the crosses in hard and low behind the defenders, then get a nick off an attacker or a defender facing the goal.

Having more than one route to goal. I don’t mind getting it wide and crossing it in if it works. But at the same time, if their defenders are winning everything in the air, trying through balls for a pacey wide men could pay dividends. The odd bobble could massively help put off the retreating defenders. norwichram, Crewton and DavesaRam 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
