Matchday thread: Rams v Owls

[ramAnag]

NML out for 3 or 4 weeks rA.

Think he’s had 3 of those. DT reporting that he could still be back tomorrow, but Warne seems to have his head screwed on regarding players being brought back too early and risking further prolonged injury.
Maybe a last thirty minutes match changing cameo will be the order of the day.

Disappointing result and game, if mcGoldricks early effort hadn’t been saved by the goalies arse we’d have seen a different game IMO. Wednesday not up to much, Bannon as quiet as I’ve ever seen, we just weren’t good enough to take advantage. Forsyth MOM, a man reborn recently, Wildsmith the game saver with his 2nd half stop. Throw ins are still being wasted, we don’t seem to have a clue, and hopeful long balls to Collins likewise, he doesn’t win anything in the air. Cashin is definitely the new Todd, immaculate in defence but awful distribution at times. Nice to see NML back although he made little impact. Onwards to Burton

Edit: special mention for the West Stand bellboy!

I wasn't at the game so only had Radio Derby to go by. Seemed a bit of a bore draw, but would have taken a point before the match so not upset at all.

Forsyth easily motm.

Keeping Curtis Davies out at this rate! Maybe Cashin will make way?

Will we go back to 3 at the back? I thought both were excellent yesterday. More impressive from Fozzy considered hes on his wrong side too.

Hope not, we seem so much better with 4 at the back.

I forecast 2-2, got the draw bit right. Pretty even game. Possession 49-51, Shots 7-5. On target 3-2. Much of the game played out in midfield and got feisty at times. Another poor ref. Seemed to punish us yet let Wendy get away with similar and worse fouls.

Agreed.
We seemed slow to renew his contract in the summer but he’s proved his value, not least as exactly the sort of ‘utility’ defender we need.
At nearly 34 this late flowering career high spot is well deserved and long may it last, while also giving Curtis the time to get fitter and stronger.
Not so disappointed with yesterday. Wednesday are likely to be up there at the end of the season and it was very even. A little bit of luck and the right signings in January and I still see no reason to change my optimism about a top 6 finish.

[SithHappens]

Yep, get two decent results in the next two games and it will look pretty good

Didn't that have a lot to do with our not being allowed to renew his contract rather than any DCFC dillydallying?
