Correct me if I’m wrong, I think Gibbo meant pace on the ball. Something Walsh did brilliantly for us is picking the ball up in midfield and driving us forward. Someone who was a fast ball carrier without having absolute pace.

I think the Serie A will suit his style of management best. I’ve got a lot of respect and time for Mourinho.

Pretty sure even Rotherham fans have been expecting them to win a game for some time now! Luton and Cardiff are two tough customers. Personally, I think Derby will stay up. Sheffield Wednesday need to win against Derby and that probably plays into the home teams chances a bit more.

Especially as we will no longer have Ostigard. Presuming we do not resign him. Defence is so important and overall, our defence improved as the season went on, but we gifted way too many goals. Especially in away games. I’m happy that we have two strikers who could feasibly score 10 goals in...

It depends on whether or not we’ve got options lined up or not. MR has hinted at a ‘summer of change’. Personally, I’d like for us to be in a position where can get a better player in. But, in fairness to Biamou, he has added value in some areas despite lacking that killer instinct to be...

Gyokeres could be a could be a good signing. He's a bit of a diamond in the rough like Jutkiewicz was. He's got some good attributes that need to be polished up and with Godden's injury record, he'll definitely get time to develop.

I'd understand this thread had we got rid of JCH, and lingered in L1 or even got relegated. But, we got promoted and have two strikers who score goals. Robins may have had his reasons to get rid of JCH and perhaps that was a blunder to move him on. But, his overall strategy for club has...

He’s been great in open play on and off the ball. Next season, he needs to be scoring more goals if he is to take his game to the next level! My POTY was Hamer up until around Feb, but his form dropped and COH stepped up massively.

Ultimately, if we're to stick around in this division, we need to have a solid defence and these two will give us a good foundation to build on.

I suspect Kelly lost a lot of leverage with the length of his injury. Having that kind of injury for most of preseason would dissuade a lot of potential suitors.

Agreed. Derby the worst home form when we played them away and we weren’t really at the races in that game in the second half. I was very nervy going into the game v Rotherham but didn’t think it was going to be all over had we lost.

That is true and frankly, with a home record that bad, you’re destined for relegation. Our away record was pretty horrific before Rotherham and Stoke, but that was at least mitigated by a very strong home record. Our home record was ultimately why I didn’t feel as troubled as many on here did.

In fairness to a lot of people, Rotherham did have Wycombe, ourselves and Birmingham at home as well as Huddersfield away. They just came away with 1 point from 12 which is why they’ll get relegated. Had they beaten Wycombe, we’d have been in the bottom 3 going into that Rotherham game...

Even then we were consistently 6-7 points ahead of Rotherham... We had a couple of tough away games that we lost badly and a lot of people were simultaneously catastrophising our form and overestimating Rotherham. Cards on the table, I got very nervous when Rotherham pulled it to 3 points...

Me too. It wouldn’t surprise me if Wycombe went the same way as Yeovil. I hope not and hopefully they can be a yo-yo team. An easy 4-6 pts a season when we play Wycombe!

In fairness, they had won more games than the teams around them including us. That said, they had also lost the most. Over the recent week, we’re now seeing why.

Yes, because playing 3-4 games a week against teams who are fresher is a brilliant strategy. 4D chess!

Me too and it was the only game I missed this season! Waiting for updates on Live Score was excruciating! I was checking the score during rugby training!

They have the worst home record in the league and have lost 3 of the last 4 home games. If you’re a betting man, probably don’t bet on a Rotherham win. Friendly advice!

The feeling on this board was that Rotherham was an unstoppable force marching to Championship safety. They have bottled 3 good chances to stay up; Wycombe, Birmingham and ourselves at home and they came away with zero points. You could include Huddersfield too, when they got a decent draw. 1...
