🤕Get well soon 2W

2.

That's it. I got nothing else.

Cows and diarrhoea in the same introduction View. Not many football threads start like that but many seem to evolve in to diarrhoea. Talking of which I was walking the path between Calton Lees and Rowsley yesterday and the last 100m was ankle deep in the greeny brown stuff. I had new boots on as well. Lose today and we will have the same sensation of being in the brown stuff.

It would be good to see a goal or three for the Rams. Something I haven't seen at the iPro since April.

Evenin' Harper👍

Mornin' Spart 👍

Morning all. 6 pointer today

I agree, lose today and we are in the doo-doo

Mornin' View, good to see you up nice and early.

Morning all.
Spart, I thought you may have taken the hint from your problems last year and steered clear of fields with cow5hit in.
Good for the boots though.

I would like to see Weimann and Anya on the flanks. Is Wilson out? If so I guess The Dazzler will partner Vydra after his magnificent aerial display the other night. I also saw him head away a couple of defensive corners too, a feat some said could only be achieved by Chris Martin.

It was not only that Ang, in the previous field I was challenged by a herd of bullocks who still must have had a bit of testosterone left. I had to face the stupid creatures down. Then had to walk through a herd of smelly cows in the next field before I reached the cow poo trail.

Why are farmers allowed to get away with polluting and creating risky situations? Industry would be fined for doing the same. We pay the miserable bleeders a subsidy as well to make everyone else's life a misery.

I also saw Bent flick on headers several times when he, and the whole ground, could surely see all his team mates were behind him with not a cat in hells chance of getting to it.

That and being caught offside more times than any other player I've ever seen. Is he just plain stupid?

Vidal, was he one of the ones who missed the near post header, which lead to Keogh feckin up for the first goal ?

Don't start me on farmers, Spart

We have a field of sheep at the bottom of the garden.
Like us, they're all waiting for the Rams to turn up

I heard a rumour that Johnson had a reasonable game on Tuesday, even passing to colleagues in the same coloured shirt. Any truth in this.

Not sure about that Ang. When the ball is played high above the striker's head, all he can do is flick it on. If nobody is running onto it he can hardly be blamed, just the tactic of playing the ball that way in the first place.

Just saying he did well in the air, that's all. We have few players in the team with much height. The alternative if Wilson isn't fit is to play Blackman, try Weimann central and either Butterfield or Camara wide or else a 4-5-1 with Vydra on his own.

Just trying to have a discussion about the possible line-up and all you do is have a go. Don't know why I bother.

They say the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. There appears to be something about Spart that does not appeal to cows, gentle in nature though they generally are. It's hard to think what that can be, unless they occasionally read some his opinions on here. A smarter man might just steer clear of them.

Johnson was OK Spart, no more than that. Made a couple of tackles and didn't do anything too stupid.

Difficult to walk in the Peak District in summer and avoid cows. The farmers claim they don't make any money from dairy farming so why do they have such huge herds?

Also most of the cows I had to walk through appeared to be lame. This is probably due to injuries sustained due to intensive farming.

It was me who questioned Bent Vidal.

Certainly not having a go at you, more venting my frustrations with Bent...

I look forward to us turning this form around. I think Butterfield has done ok on the right so I would keep him there. I would play Weimann down the middle with Vydra. I still think that is Weimann's best position. I think we will win today. CMON U RAMS!!!!

He IS frustrating, but we don't always make best use of him. He gets offside a lot but if the right ball keeps being played he will probably score.

Last time we were in a precarious position was under Nigel Clough. We beat Crystal Palace 5 0 and went on a good run playing some really good football. Then teams realised that if they kicked Commons and Bueno off the pitch we didn't have anyone with any skill.

Let's hope for a similar turn in our fortunes today and as we have a strong squad. that we can sustain the improvement.

Backo.

Anya, Weimann, Hughes, Bryson, Butterfield. That's half the team who are 4 foot 6. Better not concede any set-pieces.

Lowe did well as well, didn't he ?
Any chance of him coming in in place of Olsson ?

I didn't think Lowe impressed, Ang. Olssen hadn't been great so I was hoping he might press his claim. He made one misjudgment which nearly cost a goal. Don't think he's quite ready yet when confidence is Lowe.

I expect Olsson will be up for playing against his former colleagues Ang.

Height is over rated Vidal. Brian Clough's side had a goal keeper of 5ft 8 and not one player over 6ft but still strolled to promotion. Athleticism and positional sense are better than height.
