They have hardly any injuries and had a decent bench at the weekend. They probably have more options to make changes at the moment than we do.

Rotherham United v Queens Park Rangers - Millers manager Paul Warne to shuffle pack in survival quest

Rotherham United will make changes today for the start of a punishing week of matches, but manager Paul Warne must weigh up how much to alter a team he was pretty happy with at the weekend.

Oh yeah 100%, think they only have 1 player out injured now & even then it's only a minor one. Although I don't buy into the conspiracy theories, their enforced break was helpful in that respect.

Probably wasn't clear what I meant. I'm saying it's not like they have enormous quality in depth so can pick & choose between a stronger team & a weaker team depending on the occasion, they'll just be rotating the same 16 or so players. Giles might actually get a few starts though.

Somebody on twitter has just said they'd start with Biamou as he's a "big game player"

He’s got the touch of an elephant, that’s about the only big game about him.

Assume the comment is based on the Notts County game, which tbf Biamou scored twice in. However, I'd suggest it was Mcnulty who really made the difference for us.

rob9872 · Apr 13, 2021

5 changes, I did call it. They'll be bang up for it against us. Hopefully they get stuffed and it works against them.

Biamou is a poor mans Keith Houchen - a very poor mans Keith Houchen

1 up front I feel after tonight Godden #Isolated

steve101 · Apr 13, 2021

Pressure has gone up significantly now after Rotherham's win tonight. In terms of Rotherham finishing beneath us I think Thursday's game is a must win now. Whether or not teams above us get drawn back in is another thing. Rotherham certainly have momentum, which we do not.

Perryccfc · Apr 13, 2021

As long as we turn up and give it a fucking go. The thought that worries me is we just turn up Thursday and roll over and get beat convincingly. I just want them to put everything into it, if we get beat we get beat, it’s not the be all and end all. Just leave everything on the pitch that’s all I hope to see.

And since Biamou has been out of the team we have suddenly won all of our games and scored a hatful of goals haven't we?! Since Biamou has been out of the team none of our 'top strikers' have missed any opportunities have they? Give it a rest.

Na, more of a “big chance misser”

Already shitting myself about this game. Just wish we could be there - I seem to cope better watching it in the stands!

Would you offer him a new deal?

Yes definitely, given the fact that we are not in a position to buy big.

Eccles can’t play right back they will eat him alive. They pretty much ended Brandon masons cov career in this fixture last season.

On the contrary I think he’s earned the right to start again. Kelly I have bigger concerns over after Saturday and a huge worry over the centre backs too.

Good news. Ladapo has just said he’ll be fine for Thursday.

They won’t be training tomorrow and will just be in to download tactics from warne for the game against us.

Sarcasm I assume? If he did have a bit of a groin strain, I would have thought he would be a doubt. Anyway, sod that. Let's get after them and show a bit of solidity at the back. Time to show up.

lord_garrincha · Apr 13, 2021

Oh fuck! It looks like survival will only be guaranteed if we... Win some games... If only we had form for that...

I think he’s done fantastic so far not out a foot wrong. What other choice do we have?

robbiekeane · Apr 14, 2021

We really really really need to win this. It’s a relegation playoff

Legia Sky Blue · Apr 14, 2021

We've got to be positive & try to make the game high tempo so that we take advantage of their lack of rest. It will be in their interests to try & make it a stop start game littered with free kicks. They are a big team, so set pieces could be problematic. We must play 2 up front though, if we play just one the ball will keep coming back at us and we will be hanging on, and I don't think we are good enough defensively to hold out playing that way. Presuming Hyam is fit I would bring him in for Pask, I would be tempted to bring Hamer back in too, possibly for Kelly. The difficult question is up front. I would definitely start with Walker, but be tempted to bench Godden, and go with either Gyokeres or Biamou if fit. Although a lot won't like it I suspect MR might plump for Biamou, as he did in our home game with Rotherham, as much to help us defensively at set pieces as anything. I know those reasons will also piss people off, but I'm sure MR's main worry about Rotherham's threat will be from set pieces, and that will definitely form part of his thinking in the team set up for the match.

Agree with this. My main worry is Rotherham are so pumped after the win yesterday and even managed to rest some key players. They will go to war tomorrow and we have a team that just can’t battle.

KersleyDigs · Apr 14, 2021

Hamer on the bench with Eccles starting makes no sense for a game like this. I really don't know why Robins won't use Hamer at RWB as emergency cover. He knows the position...

I have a feeling (hope) that Dabo may be back. Fingers crossed!

sylus · Apr 14, 2021

if we show up tomoro and give it a real go and lose by the odd goal,i can except, what will hurt thou, is we show up and turn us over big time without a fight, confidence will be rock bottom,it won't be the end of the world as we can still get out of it, but i feel if we are in the bottom 3 i cant see us getting out of it, tbh, if we do go down we only have ourselves to blame

Yes, I have watched that one, sequel to "The tradesman's entrance" wasn't it?
