Matchday thread: Rams v Swansea 27/11/2024

Only 4 goals to go! Mind you I think the Swans will get most of them!

[Geoff Parkstone]

Looks like Swale could be correct, at least at half time

[macstheman]

We've nicked a penno so only 3 goals to go!

Strange game. We didn’t turn up for twenty five minutes and looked as if the players had never met. (Too much chopping and changing?)
After that we were the better side and could have won with some better decision making and a little luck. The fight we showed in the last hour was mightily encouraging if ultimately too little too late.
Individual thoughts, Blackett-Taylor and Goudmijn aren’t worth a starting place at the moment. Wilson will never be a full back but looks to be our most threatening attacking player at times.
Makes three points on Sunday all the more important but please start with eleven players who are really up for the fight. Hope Ozoh and Osborn are back.

I don't understand whats happened to Kenzo. Atrocious first 20. Battled back well, Jackson's moss worse than adams last season?

Its a conundrum, not at the races for the first 20 minutes, then as RA says could well ahve won the match. Would have been good to see Brown start and see what he could do.

I guess Warne changed things to a more attacking situation, given the number of draws the team have been involved in, it being a game he wanted to win and the team didn't click. Heads you win tails you lose, sometimes these things happen, its been the case up and down the league with few teams other than the expected top 5 or 6 achieving any consistency.

Will need to keep the same starting 11 on Sunday, otherwise it will be another 20 minutes of feet finding for us to concede within. Wouldn't surprise me if oppos are targeting us early on, knowing that we tend to grow into games later on.
Struggling with goals from midfield / open play lately. Can't just expect the striker to put it away, midfielders need to be getting more shots on goal, even if it's shots from around the D.
When's Ozoh likely back in contention? Feel like he made a big difference. Haven't been impressed by Osborn when he's played.

Take your point but very much doubt it’ll be the same starting XI anyway because Yates will be available.
For me, those who don’t perform are dropped and have to win back their place.

Who are you dropping? BT & Goud - anyone else?

On the evidence of last night I thought those two and Harness were the poorest, but I appreciate it’s more complicated than that and, unlike the manager, I know nothing about Wednesday’s strengths and weaknesses.
Yates will obviously return and I’d like to see Phillips back in and Wilson given licence to play to his strengths further forward.
Not sure if Elder’s substitution was tactical or yet another injury but I didn’t think Fozzy put a foot wrong in the second half.
Easy from an arm chair though isn’t it?
