LONDON – One of the twisted ironies of the two-game losing streak the Rams carried with them on their trip abroad is the manner in which the losses were accumulated.

The Rams have made it pretty easy over the years to explain their frustrating shortcomings. You can’t win when you can’t consistently put points on the board, now can you?
