Sheaf needs to tidy up those passes that put us in danger.

Having wide players higher up the pitch is making a big difference to our build up play. Burnley are pretty stretched because of it and Hamer and Sheaf have the quality to hold the midfield in a 2

Agreed, and it means we're pinning them back so the likes of Maatsen aren't getting forward.

If Sheaf could lose that 1 suicidal pass per game, he'd be a quality player...Burnley should have scored then

We all know he will be off in the summer - it's not even a debate amongst fans.

I'm liking Norton so far, some good crosses. I think once he settles and becomes more familiar with Gyokeres, could be dangerous.

Still think it’s 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 out of possession and then Allen pushing up to make it a front 3 when we have the ball

I expect him to go in the summer, but would want decent money for him £20m min, ideally £30m, and if he keeps going as he is he could be worth that

Gyokeres best 45mins of the season.
Sensational.

he causes so much damage - it’s a nonsense we have no other players who can score goals

Good half been the better team, Burnley will surely not come out too passive in the second half.

Good first half - hope it continues and we capitalise on one of our chances.

Shame really, if we hadn’t sold Waghorn and Kane we’d probably be 4-0 up.

Considering the stick he bizarrely gets on here for a supposed lack of tactical acumen, Robins has absolutely done a number on them here.

The opportunities are there, we just need one to fall our way. Second half you will expect Burnley to come our flying. pressing and interceptions have been brilliant so far from us. Hamer is the best player on the park.

We’ve been better. Alas, we’re far too forgiving when we get close to goal. Norton-Cuffy looks good.

That’s where the bloody wing backs should be half the time!!

Tactically won that half. Unfortunately, Burnley will surely make some tactical changes second half. Despite it being a different formation, I have impressed at how well we are keeping our shape and discipline. Also shout out to Dabo (after being written off by some), who has done well at right back.

Really good half that was, and we got more confident as it went on. I’m still not expecting anything, Burnley have to improve second half. But, if we carry on like that, we’ve got half a chance.

Whether by design or emergency, our surprise "two banks of four, jumpers for goalposts" formation has worked really well. Only concern is if we use it long term that Norton-Cuffy was probably meant to be playing WB as part of his loan conditions, but if you ask Rotherham fans they would tell you this would suit him better.

Great half, been saying for ages we should try 4 at the back and Robins finally listens.

Sheaf been sloppy at times.
Take Allen off and release him at HT.
