To an extent but even that threat waned as he's very one dimensional - knock it ahead & use his pace. If you know what he's going to do it becomes easier to defend & he became less & less effective & you could see it visibly affect his confidence to take a man on. He's never managed to pin down...
Because none of the teams down the bottom (including us) are good enough to go on a run of wins. Rotherham "picking up points" is based off of 1 single result too. They're below us for PPG & no better in the form tables.
Agreed, was a strange one. McCallum definitely helped us though, far superior to Giles. Ironically, despite demanding to leave for more opportunities, Giles has barely got any more minutes at Rotherham than he would have by staying with us.
Nope, very true. I'm hoping there will be a study at the end of this season on penalty conversion with no crowds. I bet this year has bucked the trend a little.
He actually started the game, he's just one of those strikers who does nothing for over an hour but took his goals well. Should actually have had a hat-trick.
Injury not serious & fine for Thursday according to local media.
Oh yeah 100%, think they only have 1 player out injured now & even then it's only a minor one. Although I don't buy into the conspiracy theories, their enforced break was helpful in that respect.
Probably wasn't clear what I meant. I'm saying it's not like they have enormous quality in depth...
It's a bit of a misnomer really. They have the smallest squad in the league anyway so not like they'll be making wholesale changes & resting loads of players. It'll probably be the likes of Giles might play the 70mins rather than the usual 20 etc.
