3-1 morale boosting win


for Rotherham

they’ll be really fresh no game at the weekend

 

[fernandopartridge]

I'm sure conversations are being had.

The thing that is peeving people off is that if these two signings decided to contribute then we would be in a top 6 position in the table. The football isn't bad it's just we look without Godden toothless.

I'm trying not to blame individual players but i can't help it, these two signings so far as we head into late October have been absolutely dreadful.

Oh have a day off

Anything but a win here is a dreadful result.

 

[Offhegoes]

With our current form there's not many teams out there at least on paper where you'd think that we could beat them. But after yesterday's fiasco, I feel Rotherham will be fancying their chances against us. They did beat Norwich and drew with Southampton.

Fiasco? Utterly dominant for 35 mins, and then it was 50-50. Did they have any major chances after scoring? It wasn't great, but we deserved a least a point. Hardly a fiasco.

They were dreadful and quite possibly the weakest team we faced for the first 35-40 minutes. We could and should have been 1 or 2 goals to the good before they scored. When even their fans feel that they stole this win, it’s a fiasco.

 

[Greggs]

Hopefully, Allen will be back to energise that midfield. Otherwise, I fear it’ll be more of the same.

Any idea if Marco Rus is anywhere near being ready for the first team?

Hahahaha

Exactly this. Can't see how anyone sees otherwise?!

I don’t think so, he should be on loan somewhere, if only to set himself up for a move

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Would it be worth Trying Saka on corners ?

 

[skybluegod]

I see Rotherham are having a bit of defensive crisis similar to Bristol and are likely going to be playing players out of position or not quite fit.

As you know that means nothing when you are playing against Coventry

Defensive crisis vs Attacking crisis huh.

 

[stevefloyd]

The way we played on Saturday wasn't a fiasco but the way we lost our way after such a bright start needs addressing, they were pretty poor and we persisted in playing 5 at the back and our wing backs are not showing enough to warrant playing wingbacks... I say play 4 at the back and play Lati just in front of defence linking up with our 'midfield' ....hopefully... and then fuck knows what we do for the rest of them ...over to you Mark

 

[SomersetSB]

0-4, simms hatrick and Bobby Thomas PUSB
positive thinking guys!!

This was because they changed their system to nullify ours and we did nothing about it.

 

[Deleted member 7943]

2-1 win

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

We should win this fairly comfortably I think, still got enough quality in the side to put bottom 3 teams to the sword (3-0 Boro, 3-1 QPR)

 

[stevefloyd]

Exactly thats why I said it needs addressing, everyone in the stadium could also see but Mr stubborn decides to leave it as it was as usual

 

[Greggs]

One nil them. Robins praises 2nd half performance.

 

[AOM]

Will Allen be fit for this game? I'm not up to date with why he was unavailable Saturday.
Would maybe be tempted to bring Bidwell back in on the left as well.
Keep Godden and Simms up front

 

[Jamesimus]

Same starting line-up as Saturday and I think we will win.

I'll be upset if we don't win this one.

 

[Mcbean]

Need palmer back for set pieces and corners - Eccles struggled to find the right spots

 

[fernandopartridge]

We'll win if we play anything like we did for large parts of the Bristol game.

I suggest you watch the game back, the wing backs were involved in a lot of our good forward play

He is never fit let alone being near the team

Was just wondering really, as some rate him highly, but then he’s only ever been on the bench a few times.

 

[robbiethemole]

Give Obikwu a run out for 25 mins, can't be any worse than what we've seen so far

We don’t know if he’s good enough until we give him a try - put him on to run at their tired legs and play him in behind

 

[alexccfc99]

I live in Yorkshire and Rotherham really did get the brunt of it at the weekend, The Don river burst it’s banks and if there is heavy rainfall again over the next few days I don’t actually see this being on

 

[Johhny Blue]

Would it be worth Trying Saka on corners ?

I’m a fan of Eccles but after those corners on Saturday it would be worth trying Stevie Wonder

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

I can feel a drab 1-0 win in my bones.

Own goal to grab another one, his third of the season.

 

[skybluecam]

By that logic we should give Sky Blue Sam 15 mins off the bench, after all we don’t know if he’s good enough until we give him a try.

 

[Tommo1993]

Must win, but not optimistic. A draw would be disappointing, a loss would be horrendous.
