First, a wonderful performance, and into the playoff places. Well done to all... or almost all. Could the Rams have done even better last season, if we realized what a player we had in Alex Pearce? I've never been a big fan of Jacob Butterfield, but he played really well. So did Chris Baird. And Will Hughes. A couple of surprises. First, that Forest did not have a player sent off. That seemed to be their early ambition. Second, that Johnny Russell made it through 90 minutes without being subbed. He was atrocious, and needs to take a look at himself. If the Rams are to continue onwards and upwards, Johnny will need replacing. But not with Weimann. With Russell, Weimann and Vydra on late, our attack disappeared and conceded too much possession to Forest. We can't do that against better teams. | |
