It would be interesting to see how much ground he covers compared to O'Hare over the last month. I am sure there is not that much in it. And if we are going to win it, we are going to need a bit of magic from somewhere. Without Sakamoto, Palmer is probably the next most capable.

6ft 4 and left footed

I don't think O'Hare warrants starting ahead of Palmer on recent form and hope he doesn't.

Take 3 points from a mediocre performance. Great finish from Wright, decent contribution from Eccles, and great to see Sheaf back - quality shines.

I would be tempted, partly due to the yellows, to take off Kelly and Palmer HT and replace with Van Ewijk and O'Hare (Eccles moving to midfield).

Can't play much worse than that but much more intensity after the goal. Torp looks lost.

I remember last season or one before Hamer crediting Lawrence for at least one set piece goal. Seems a calm, steady personality.

Then it should be done in private

I am sure they do but not in public view

Really embarrassing and unprofessional. Small margins impact games.

I take your point but I don't mark players performances differently if we are up against a top team compared with an average team so likewise against a poor team.

Have you not heard of triangles - you go back to go forward. His role is to break up play, close down space and play it off so that we can build again. As a team we too often force passes and lose possession.

In a two Tavares is a threat. He has pace and is a finisher. He lacks strength on the ball but he is a great option from the bench if played in the right position. Works well with Godden too.

Liam Kelly is such a top pro. 5-0 up, 90 minutes gone and he's still on his toes, showing for the ball and organising others.

Palmer's work rate and fitness has been questioned by some in the past. However since he has returned from injury he has been the standout player in this regard.

Rotherham are truly dreadful. However, Simms has shown he can be clinical and place the ball. Palmer and Eccles have been brilliant. Eccles has such variation compared with Van Ewijk. Kitching and Bidwell combination is so strong. Latibeudiere winning all the headers and orchestrating. Kelly is...

Like that line up. Would prefer it if not a back 3 though. However, he can always change it if needed.

I have been impressed whenever I have seen Rathbone play. Type of box to box player that would be useful in our squad. If he is declared fit after his concussion, they will be a stronger team for it. Even so, we should be more than good enough to win comfortably.
