We only have 4 available first team central midfielders, my concern is we play them all one gets injured and we’re in deeper doo doo.
But the midfield will be weak regardless. We've got O'hare, who's looked a bit jaded recently, Sheaf, who's been a bit inconsistent, and then one of Shipley or Allen, both of whom will put in the effort but look like this is a level too far for them) if we go for a midfield three, or both of them if we pack the midfield and leave one up front.
Do we really see Sheaf, Allen, Shipley and o'Hare as being stronger than playing Walker and Max up front and leaving one out? I don't.
I could understand MR going safety first today and looking for the draw given the midfield problems but against a struggling Wednesday it'd almost be playing into their hands and giving them an easy ride.
We could end up with another game ruing the fact we didn't have more of a go and the trouble with playing for the draw is that it takes only one mistake or slip, a penalty given away or poorly defended set-piece, a fluke or moment of magic for that entire game plan to go out of the window and we need to tear it up and try something else which we won't have focused on in training. Plus as the game wears on and we near the end the nerves will kick in as they try and preserve the point, they drop deep and invite pressure and increase the likelihood of a goal against.
Don't get me wrong, I'd accept a draw as it stands but that doesn't mean we should play for it. Doing so leads to you losing more often than it sees you nicking a late winner.
Agree with that section in the circumstances. Let’s hope Max and Walker have a good day. I’m going 1-2 to us (bound to give a penalty).2 up top it is then
Godden on the bench
Decent team all things considered, just worry we might be weak in midfield
Westwood in goal for them but they are playing 3 defensive midfielders.
Good god that midfield
Hopefully he brings Giles on with more than 5 mins to go today.

Pulis will do that regardless of injuries, leopards never change their spots.
Where the alternativeJamie Allen starting gives me as much enthusiasm as when Dier starts for England.

Clive just talking about it and saying he fears for elite sport the way things are going. Didn’t catch it all but was saying about European ties being cancelled (rugby). Not looking goodRotherham v Derby game has just been cancelled due to Covid outbreak with Millers team. Very last minute!
Cowardly LMAO
Away point vs anyone is decent . Especially in a 6 pointer where we are already above them
You see football so black and white its crazy. We should win this. The striker must score that etc
Not trolling but I am really surprised you say you play organised footy. It's like you judt csnt understand not everything you want in your head will always play out like that.
