    Luton are pretty dirty and we while I dislike it, we haven’t got around the ref to make that point everytime they foul us. I’d still like to see Giles for his attacking ability, he’ll give us an outlet and will help get us on the front foot.

    Disappointing first half; not really got out of first gear and we’re not imposing ourselves at all. Luton are vulnerable at the back but we can’t get the ball to our strikers. None of our influential players are involved enough, and that’s partly Luton nullifying us and partly us not seeming to...

    Really looking forward to the game tonight. It’s rare I get to sit down and chill in the evenings, so purchased a few nice ales and currently doing everything I can to tire the kids out. The big question is whether to watch it on Sky or iFollow, Sky is easier to set up, but no replays and a...

    I’ve been optimistic before every game this season, with the caveat as long as we are offensive and impose ourselves, we’re more than capable of getting a result. The performance yesterday has only enhanced that. The game is definitely winnable, as is Saturday, so it’s a tough one for MR in...

    Sad news about CCFCWAY

    Horrible news and thoughts with his family. Didnt know him personally but he was a very active part of this forum, and we probably all read his thoughts on a daily basis, something we now won’t do again. It makes it feel very close to home. RIP Wayne.

    Great free kick, straight from the training ground. It’s done and hindsight and all that, but if we’d have played this way last game we’d have won. I know Rotherham are one of the weaker teams but we’re so much better when we play offensively and look to create.

    We’re inviting pressure, not sure why we’ve reverted to being over cautious again. We had them absolutely panicked every time we attacked first half, and they still look vulnerable when we’ve got forward this, despite their changes. Walker has looked a little flat footed this half, perhaps...

    Apologies - I hadn’t read back through. Although you could have just let me have my smug comment!

    In all seriousness this is a great performance and we should have scored at least two more, and I can’t recal them having a chance. Only one game granted, but certainly evidence we can be attacking and still be solid at the back.

    Biamou is only playing well as Rotherham are essentially a L1 club.

    Best Walker has looked so far; nothing to do with playing as part of a two and alongside Max I’m sure.

    Who was it that scored? I couldn’t quite see? Fantastic touch, movement and finish whoever it was.

    Right team formation in my view, but disappointed to see Giles dropped. MR couldn’t quite go full gung ho I suppose. I like McCallum but it’s too as effective offensively and is a little off form. Feel for Sheaf but Hamer is the better player and Kelly is Captain and Mr Reliable for MR, so I...

    This us one of the most bizarre match days threads yet. Some of the posts are embarrassing. Feeling confident about the game today, but I think it’s pivotal we are offensive and on the front foot from the start. I’d play wing back, as it allows two of our best outlets in Dabo and Giles to...

    Cheers both, I’m hoping it’s just teething and/or a general virus. Testing was quick to sort, although the details within the confirmation email states that you have to administer the test yourself to anyone under 3. That’s going to be a joy...... And if it does come back positive I assume...

    Just had to collect my daughter from nursery as she had a temperature of 38.7. She was absolutely fine when I dropped her off this morning, but apparently ‘wasn’t herself’ as the morning went and then they checked her temperature. Got a test booked for 12:30.

    I would return to wing backs. It allows us to play two of our most attacking and influential players in situations that allow them to impact the game. It also allows to us to play two up front and our three strongest centre midfielders together. Plus allows us to adopt to play with a 10 if...

    Disappointing performance but good result. The most frustrating thing for me; if we’d have played our game, and showed any attacking intent, we’d have won that. As I said at HT, happy to keep it tight for 45, even 60 if needed, but to be defensive for the whole game is a risk and doesn’t play...
