Hi Visiting Ram here, thanks for allowing me to pop in prior to our visit to Wembley - if you want to know anything I don’t cover please ask.
wembley great iconic venue dreadful for anyone north of Watford hideous to get to and earn expensive but it’s our clubs so we have to be there.
pre season we were in for a rollercoaster season excellent results vs wolves and Southampton and the lampard overhaul was underway. Fairly average results early on but we were starting play football again after Rowett bored us stupid last season, then boom we played Dean Smith’s Brentford who were top of the league we won superbly 3-1 and soon enough we were at Manchester United again and yes to win there is always magnificent ( I have actually been there to see it on 5 occasions) we followed that up with victories over sheff United and we out played Chelsea at their place but lost 3-2 having scored 4 of them, by Christmas our lot are shattered and you can tell but we still posted wins at Norwich and Southampton lots of injuries haven’t helped helped for our annual feb-April slump
best results and performances
Brentford home 3-1 WBA away 4-1 Sheffield United home 2-1 Norwich away 4-3 Bristol city away 2-0 WBA home 3-1 Leeds Away P/O 4-2
we are a young team this season and lampard has done well with them, yes we have some profile loans from premiership clubs which actually means nothing if they can’t do it on a pitch but these ones can - Tomori from Chelsea our player of the season, Wilson from Liverpool who has 18 goals this season a winger but he isn’t a winger he cuts inside and shoots and does it very well but we have asked him to play central midfield many times because of injuries, also Mount from Chelsea 19 yrs old he will be very good and unfortunately he got injured and missed 3 months this season. We have some extremely good youngsters coming through of our own (just won the national premier league u18s) and Jayden Bogle 18 has played a full season at right back and mason Bennett (debut at 15) is now 22 and is seriously underrated by opponents and has been to total game changer on so many occasions this season.
i did go to both Villa games this season and at our place we probably should have been in front at half time but 2nd half we deserved nothing and the away game at villa park ( great day out apart from the football) we put out an horrific team but apparently we were riddled with viruses at the time but no excuse for that performance
we play football or at least try to and whilst the media like to call us FLDC we are a proud football club and every season is an event
just a quick reference to the Leeds away play off game - we knew we were more than capable of beating them but they deludedly believe do they had won because we were naff against them this season ( even though we caught their spy twice) a few seasons back we beat Hull 3 times and lost once total score 8-3 Hull won at Wembley that season.
play off record at Wembley
QPR - we lost with the best side in years
WBA - we won with the worst side fielded by us at Wembley
Leicester - we lost after totally out playing them (refs fault) worse day ever
let’s have a great game and a good day ( championship is still better to see your team win most weeks and follow our teams if the result is negative but our clubs need the money sadly )
