PrivateDerby Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Nigels post match interview on ramsplayer is brill. Basically he said he's p*ssed off with a couple of players for not seeing the game out due to niavity. Some of the lads that were here last season have stopped doing it and we should have done enough to see it out. Brayford not started well, Roberts magnificent. Doesn't want to adopt a negative attitude just because we concede late goals. Tyson's got a whack on his ankle. The interview finishes, then he inturupts and asks to speak about the 40 years ago (yesterday) first division championship winning team. Says he was dissapointed having them there because they would have 'eaten up the game' and Roy Mcfarland would have seen the game out. Roy stuck his head in the changing rooms to wish them luck and Brian used to call him 'vicious' Then on glick, he says we have skimped and saved for 4 years and it will be nice for him to go somewhere where there's a few quid! Sorry if you've watched it, just thought it was good and he made me laugh abit 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I would be p*ssed off if I was him, I think he's to soft of the players at times. The amount of times he's told them to kick the ball in the corner when there's 1-2 minutes to go and we're only 1 goal a head is ridicules. I'm not one to blame just one player for conceding a goal, but it was Jeff Hendrick who tried to pass it our of danger when there was only 1 minute left of normal time, he gave the ball away, they scored. And you can't really blame that on in-experience either, he's had a whole season in the Championship. Hopefully they will just learn from the mistakes and move on!

PrivateDerby Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Exactly, I like how Nige says it as it is because people know where they stand then. It won't bother Jeff, he just won't do it again, same with the others. We'll be alright, at least we can score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams71 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The opposition cant score if the ball is in the stand deep in their half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The opposition cant score if the ball is in the stand deep in their half But they can if they take the throw in, have no pressure on them and can therefore punt is straight back into our box. The opposition can't score if we have possession of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcdcfc28 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 And still only lost one of them matches... We lost at Chesterfield and against Ssausagehorpe (regardless of it being on pens). How is that just one game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really class a 5 all draw as a loss but take your point. My point was we are conceding a lot but scoring a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Agree - Being defensive in the final minutes as we hold a lead is fine, but FFS, why can't we be confident enough to hold possession? Knock it around, instead of trying to lump it into the corners or into the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Whether you agre with the "boot it in the corners" mentality or not, you can't judge it's effectiveness until its done properly, and clearly it isn't now. If players did listen and did as they were told - which is what they are paid a lot of money to do - then we would have three points on board. I do have great sympathy with Clough. Id love us to play total football from whistle to whistle but it's not happening, clearly. Least you can expect the players to do is do the other way properly.

Pudding Jack Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 re: cloughs interview... i liked what he said... i think he praises people when they do well , gives them a bit of flack if they dont. but to hear the way he talked about the championship winners... you could tell he remembered it really fondly.... i'm too young... by a long way.... but he's actually a derby fan int he. i dont agree with his subs yesterday.... invited pressure and that but.... might have a certain striker to batter bolton (wrong thread) on tuesday and all is forgotten.

PrivateDerby Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 A chorus of attack, attack, attack attack attack might do the trick? Other than that, I can just see Cloughie doing what we did last season, I reckon Keogh and Buxton will get used to it and everyone else will follow.

'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> I would be more annoyed at the two poor aerial challenges we put in for the equaliser. I think it was Brayford who didn't even jump for the initial header. It would be lovely to instil more confidence in the side - kicking to the corners is the sign of a lack of self-belief and smacks of desperation. Scoring another goal is always a good way to defend a one-goal lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring another goal is always a good way to defend a one-goal lead. Also smacks of a team without the legs left to make the movement of possession football. Clough asks so much of his players in his games they get completely knackered by the 75th minute in most games and we almost have to play the ugly stuff. I thought we made great efforts to improve fitness this preseason but then Ssausagehorpe game appears to have hurt the team physically too. Hope we find some fitness but I can see the same patterns as last season emerging. The encouraging thing, however, is we play nicer football before we die to death of tiredness.

StaffsRam Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Having to play an extra 30 minutes at this stage of the season, with another game 3 days later was always going to be a bit of a b@$t@rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something that we will never know now but with 4 minutes of injury time to be played I dare say that we would have leaked at least one more chance.

top 6 finish Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 It seems to me and i made this point weeks ago,that we have a problem with strength in depth plus the fact that our younger players can't play 180 mins a week.Plus the fact that they have limited experiance at the moment and can't be expected to make instant correct decisions every time.I think they are doing well.

davenportram Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I agree to 6. Shame we have to play another 180 minutes in the next week too. If they are tired now then we will be knackered on Tuesday and wiped out by Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
