He looks alot better than I thought he wouldAnother great little cameo for sure.
He was probably asleepGot to be almost 10 except they let themselves down conceding a goal...well Rushworth did anyway
That was not my point but acknowledge what you say
Well i gave him 6.5 , id be happy to change him to a 7 because he had an assist but I think others were betterAre the 6s on the previous page for EMC some sort of inside joke I don't know about

THE SUMMER 2025 DEADLINE DAY EAST STANDDoug only wanted a 7-1 win so he could put our players in the shop window before the window closes
And another assist!
And what an assist it was (I haven’t read the rest of the thread so someone may have said this)
My thoughts exactly. He's outstanding and some people genuinely seem to be blind to itAre the 6s on the previous page for EMC some sort of inside joke I don't know about
EMC causes defences such troubleMy thoughts exactly. He's outstanding and some people genuinely seem to be blind to it
I think he may have been the one who rearranged the internal organs of both Bobby and Liam,knew how to throw his weight around, don't know if that was the reason for Kitchings booking and the FK that led to the goal.10's for everybody (it would be churlish to give them less), but special mention for two who outperformed their usual level. BTA had a really good game and possibly provides more space for MVE than Tats does. Secondly, Rudoni was all over it from the first minute, much better than in the first two games - unbelievable control - back to his best.
Can't rate the subs because when they came on, it was no longer a proper game, but KKH looked useful.
Noticeable that there was much less of the "back to Grimes, back to the keeper" and so on; much more on the front foot.
I was feet away from Lampard and he was in almost continual 121 communication with Torp but no-one else, with some downward finger movements that I couldn't translate. Torp was acknowledging he had the message.
Even though he scored, we dodged a bullet with Kone. Distinctly limited.
Over my left shoulder with the players not in the squad was Bassette who looked distinctly disenchanted

And fights effectively for the ball when the opposition have it tooEMC causes defences such trouble
I agree wrt Grimes. Unheralded hero today, there was a bit of the game between 25 and 35 mins when they threatened to get back into it. He was the calmness which said "No Way" and he constantly recycling the ball and retained it to enable us to launch further attacks. Filled in at CB when required. Such a big part of today as well as the obvious flair players who delivered the goodsRushworth 7 Passing range is impressive
MVE 8 They had no idea how to deal with him
Thomas 7
Kitching 7 He still has a mistake in him
Dasilva 7
Grimes 9 An obvious MOTM on many other days
Torp 8 Maybe the best striker of the ball since McAllister
Rudoni 9 MOTM QPR literally couldn’t get the ball of him, mesmerising
BTA 8 Unbelievable finish for his goal, a valuable asset to the squad
Wright 9 Brilliant strength, great finishes…a 20-goal striker if he plays like this every week
EMC 7
Subs all 6
Think that’s the worst away performance I’ve seen at the CBS since the last time Rotherham played here, and potentially ever. You couldn’t design a team less well suited to cope with us, they just politely jogged into the buzzsaw over and over again.
For the record is dont think a 6.5 / 7 is a bad rating i just think thats where he was today against the other players performances .. players like grimes torp and rudoni were better but not perfect its quite hard to justify an 8 plus imho .And fights effectively for the ball when the opposition have it too

The frustrating thing is that Sheaf ought to be capable of similar, but just seems to lose his head completely when shooting.'Torp 8 Maybe the best striker of the ball since McAllister'
Great shout
Call me "Mr Picky" but that's a fundamental requirement when being compared to Gary MacThe frustrating thing is that Sheaf ought to be capable of similar, but just seems to lose his head completely when shooting.
