Birmingham are a much better side with Sanchez & Bela in, not convinced at all that this system suits them.

Fully expecting Hamer to come back in. There's a lot of belief that you need to go long early to counter Barnsley's press & I don't buy into that at all - you can still play through Midfield but you need to have real quality on the ball to do so. Wouldn't be surprised to see Gyok or Biamou start...

Said in the early part of the season I just couldn't see them scoring goals. Their failure to recruit another striker looked disastrous then. They're actually lucky that Kazim-Richards has done far better than expected. The injury to Bielik (one of the best players in the league) has been...

Rotherham are pretty good attacking with the physical side & set pieces etc but actually aren't that good at defending against it. Already conceded 17 from set pieces this season for example.

Beat me to it 😊 They'd do amazingly well to replicate that from their remaining fixtures given who they're against &, more importantly, the fixture congestion (they were already complaining about tiredness on Thursday of course).

You think Rotherham (averaging 1.0ppg) are going to get 11pts from their final 7 games, which includes playing 3 of the Top 8?

🤣

We've conceded 10 penalties (all scored), been awarded 3 (all scored). We've conceded 2 own goals, opponents have conceded 3 against us. We've hit woodwork 17 times

Even if you added them back on they'd still be below us & I'm confident that will remain the case.

Fair play to em, given it a real go last few weeks now pressure is kind of off. I was stunned that they were playing for a draw & time wasting vs us tbh. As frustrating as the result was for us, they needed the points even more than we did. If they'd sneaked a win then too they'd have a fighting...

Loving all the optimism but the one thing most seem to be overlooking is that Brighton will simply trigger the option in his contract & demand a fee to sell him. That will likely interest bigger, richer clubs & price us out of the running.

Where did Mark Robins find the dressing room having apparently misplaced it a couple of weeks ago?

Would love to see him at City

Ok so he's looking for it & has arguably lost control of the ball anyway but yeah, looks a pen to me.

Only one person getting banned after comments like that! I haven't seen the incident yet, apparently it should have been given, but considering pre-match he was pleading for calm from everyone it's kind of amusing.

Not surprised. Blackburn had 2 young, inexperienced centre backs playing. Rooney's idea to exploit it? Play without a striker 🤷🏼‍♂️

8 in 18 in a Relegation threatened League One team this season. A lot of those have come from playing in wider roles too rather than as an out & out striker. Still just 22 years old. You're not likely to get a proven, prolific Championship scorer on our budget. Not saying this rumour is true...

Pretty sure he's a freelancer rehashing a story from elsewhere. Either way though, would be happy enough if it is true, can definitely see him fitting the bill.

I can certainly see why we'd look at him, fits the model well. Little skeptical of the source though refers to Wigan as "cash strapped" & therefore likely to sell, I'm pretty sure that's not the case after the takeover. If Wigan get relegated then maybe that changes.
