Match Thread Rotherham United FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 25th Oct

[mmttww]

If the magic gel hasn’t taken effect in the next month I’m ready for managerial change. It’s gone unforgivably stale and we should be getting more out of these players than we are

You absolute melt.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Still amazed at how much we've spent in order to regress as a side.

 

[Matt smith]

Anyone else enjoying Rotherham Les with his riveting commentary?

Put it in mixer

What’s worrying is that we have played two bad teams on the trot and not managed to score in 1 and a half games. I wish I knew what the answer was. Back to box perhaps but who would you trust to play up front on their own?

I reckon both Simms and Wright would work better up front on their own. Godden on his own has never worked as he's always been isolated but Simms and Wright seem much more suited to being a lone striker.

 

[Matt smith]

Transition seasons are cope. Fight me.

Cope?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Would be good to see Sakamoto on at 10 and Wright for Godden.

Then COH around 75 and Sakamoto moved to LWB.

Not an ideal process but it gets an immediate change in Sakamoto on, gives Wright a chance and we get to see COH back.

Something that’s for sure
Robins and team love the posession stuff they don’t see it as boring and lacking in intensity
Playing this way depends on some explosive play when you get to the opposition goal
We don’t have that

We've gone from m&s finest food to Aldi Weetabix that's how I'd describe our attacking play! No offence intended to those who shop at Aldi

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Getting fucking Simms off, Everton have had our absolute pants down with him. Fucking useless donkey

Happened to see this goal again the other day, cannot believe it's the same player.

You do talk as if we blew Rotherham away last season, we didn't. We just had a couple of match winners. I'm not seeing some regression in all round play it's just lacking some cutting edge.

Eccles, Latibeudiere played well, Simms been poor. Ayari AWOL.

 

[napolimp]

Simms and wright have cost 10 million minimum by the way

let that sink in

Have you ever stopped and thought about what you want? Because they can't go back in time and not buy Wright and Simms, so a lot of your comments are not really helpful.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

If we win this i reckon van Ewijk will play a large role.

Yeah but you can make Aldi Weetabix really nice with some quality additions, a few nuts and seeds, fresh fruit, maybe some maple syrup. AND you'd still probably save money. Maybe.

We have spent Waitrose money on it though.

 

[skybluecam]

And it only took two players to turn us into the 4th best side in the division last year?

6/11 starters weren't at the club last year?

Were we that dynamic last season ?
Long ball to Vik and hope he can drag us up the pitch and score or create for someone else . It was hardly like watching Brazil but it was effective

 

[hamertime]

50/50 with a side certain for relegation. Not good enough so far.

Why do you think stating the transfer fee is some profound comment?

Can't sign match winners with £35 million of transfer income?

 

[shmmeee]

It's ridiculous the abuse he gets. He's one of our best players. Godden Ayari and Simms do nothing but give the ball away but the reason we aren't winning is Eccles apparently.

 

[procdoc]

I just want to see some tempo this half. Get runners from midfield in behind the strikers

 

[slowpoke]

Just win the game don’t care how.

 

[Jamesimus]

If we win this i reckon van Ewijk will be largely responsible.

Dropped next game then. I will probably try and use pseudo-science to prove it's fitness related again and get laughed at in the comments by people that go into an anaerobic state just replying on here...

 

[Greggs]

We will win

Our bets....

We've also changed the way we play to a style that doesn't suit the players at our disposal. Too much possession, too slow in our build up.

Far too often he stops and checks rather than driving forward. Da Silva's been more of an outlet so far.

 

[SBT]

In terms of net spend we haven’t spent anything.

 

[shmmeee]

Cope?

Something people say to avoid an uncomfortable reality.

to be fair West Ham paid £10m for Hugill at one point and he looks shit

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

In terms of net spend we haven’t spent anything.

In terms of pounds and pence we very much have.

 

[Nick]

What?

Fucking weird.

This is how I try and justify anything I buy for myself

I don't remember any puppets in that one.
