duncanjwitham Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Slide tackling is that last thing we want. A slide tackle is absolutely the last resort in modern football. The game is all about positioning, staying on your feet and pressuring the opposing team into making a mistake. The first goal Ssausagehorpe scored, for example, Keogh was doing exactly the right thing - staying on his feet and forcing the player out wide. Diving in in that situation is more than likely going to end in a penalty and a possible red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestLondonRam Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Who mentioned a slide tackle? he played it through his legs. I.e. a nut meg inside the area. How about just shutting your legs and showing the attacking oposition the line. It wasn't so much the nut meg if you watch any of the bits on Rams player you will see the ball across the box to Bucko. I have seen it in 4 seperate games and it is a little worrying. I'm sorry but IMO I do not think he is anywhere as good as Shackell. I think he is the one who commands the back 4 and to let 5 goals in against a team from a league below is poor.

WestLondonRam Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I've seen the Slide tackle bit what is wrong with a slide tackle outside of the box as long as it is timed right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestLondonRam Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 What are suggesting that because I live in London I don't watch them week in week out? I follow home and away Including dragging my poor pregnant Girlfriend to Southampton away on her due date!!! I know it's a bad one but couldn't resist the lure of the RAMS... I am born in Ashbourne and moved to London hence the London Ram. I stick by what I say IMO he is not as good as Shackell. I also think there was more to Shackell leaving than the money. I just hope we see a good hard working opening game tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfb Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 calm down - i'm sure you are a proper fan and all that... how often have you seen keogh? prob not enough to make a proper judgement yet. Who has ? Like WLR i worry about our defence, i said it months ago, i dont think Keogh was NC's 1st choice, replacement for Shacks, i think Joel Lynch was... but hey 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wacko:' /> , he's young at 26, and may well yet become a legend here, fingers crossed for the lad. (I wish we had him and Shacks) Anyway seen this ? looks a bit 'lost' while searching his mind for platitudes...... and doesn't sound totally convincing for me.... but in some ways,reading between the lines, he is telling the truth, about the squad, but promotion ? toes crossed aswell then.

RIMBAUD Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 we will have to see won't we? i think there are some people getting in a tizz and it's far too early to make a judgement either way. (agree that him and shack would have been great.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GboroRam Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Glad we agree that the first game of the season, not even a league game, is too early to judge anything. But I'm sure we will anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
