Rams vs Boro Thread

[QUOTE=MadAmster;39356399]That opening 5 minutes had me very worried. There was that brilliant last gasp Keoghesque block from Clarke, made necessary due to an appalling pass from Davies, That was not the only awful pass. I counted 5 in the opening 3 minutes. They were pressing us and I thought we might be on to a hammering.

Then the lads seemed to wake up. Clarke was colossal at the back. Shinnie ran the rule over midfield. Martin was providing the same old, same old that we all love. Holding the ball up, little flicks and knockdowns knitting play together and he actually got the kind of support he used to get from Hughes, Hendrick and Bryson. The roundest of round pegs in a similar hole.

Quite a few of us on here have been shouting for a front 2. Yesterday we got it and it looks like we were right. Keep this up, get the team used to it and we will have a decent season. Next weekend we can get within a point of the garibaldi canines who are, apparently, having a great season while we, and we all think so, have been mostly poor.

Our first was a great interchange between Martin and Lawrence, culminating in Lawro putting it away from 16 yards. Their keeper got his whole hand on it but couldn't stop it going in. Ur 2nd late on was another good interchange resulting in Lawro bursting into the box and burying it. A well deserved win.

The sending off? Not a red, it was very deep purple. Why they tried to change the refs mind is astonishing. They must have known how dark a red it was.

I hope all the knocks are better come next Saturday. Malone and Bielik both off injured. Shinnie carrying a knock because Martin had been subbed so we had used all 3 already. Marriott seemed to be carrying a leg as well..........

For long periods in the 2nd half the tempo of the ball circulation was too low and we allowed them to get back into formation. We can't afford to do that next week.

Roos - a couple of log kicks that didn't reach their intended target but possibly his best display of the season

Bogle - getting back to his best. Not there yet.

Davies - isn't a ball playing CH and we have to recognise that. So does he and Cocu and it needs working on.

Clarke - far and away his best game for us. Starting to show why BHA paid a lot for him

Malone - His best this season, shame he got injured but Lowe came on and we didn't miss Molly

Shinnie - Magic. Defended, attacked and broke play up like a good un

Bielik - Gave us the usual frowns holding on too long and then produced some wonderful play

Holmes - lively display but needs a run of starts to get back to his best

Marriott - proved the prefect perfect for Martin

Martin - Coldplay almost back to his best

Lawrence - A much improved performance but still short of his Huddersfield levels

I wasn't looking forward to next week's game. provided everybody is fit, I am now.[/QUO

MA not a red you sure ,studs up lunge out of control

mista, the entire sentence was "Not a red, it was very deep purple." Intended to mean it was very much a red..... obviously you didn't read it that way.........

Maybe you should have settled for ‘Simply Red’.
