Makes sense to get a revised back line used to each other I suppose. All Stoke up to now and I can`t see them not winning this - get one, they`ll get a few I think (good for us if Rotherham spend all night backs to the wall too). Could be a good one for him not to be involved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Zac coming on for Richard Wood who`s injured. Looks like he`s going to be playing CB and not RB where he has been up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Turning into a good game for us I think. Wood injured and Zac ineligible so Rotherham are a CB down. The game must be taking a fair bit out of them too given the effort they`re putting in to try and get in front again. I just don`t want Rotherham to win it now to boost their confidence big time.

Rudolf Hucker Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 The Rotherham keeper looks a bit of a flapper. No doubt he'll have a worldy on Wednesday night!

Hope that Ashley Williams is in the centre of the Stoke defence when we play them. He’s terrible isn’t he. I’ve noticed for a few seasons now how he seems a world away from the player he was when Swansea first went up to the Prem. Williams has been awful for a few years and quite what Everton saw in him to sign him, and likewise now Stoke, I don’t know. He makes so many mistakes and never seems to have his head in the game. He’s a proper liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Rotherham... Vyner. Think he was dropped tbh. Notice he hasn't started every game there, his performances for them hit and miss based on what I've read. Should we be aiming for the win on Wednesday? Undoubtedly! Do I think we'll win- not certain as Rotherham 10 pts at home already is it, including a win v Derby. I don't recall the last time we won there- that said I posted the same about QPR, a repeat of which would be most welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've only shared a division with them 7 times since then, so the record not as bad as the 23 years would suggest. Still a poor record though.

Major Isewater Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Rotherham at home are no pushovers, albeit favourites for relegation we need to ' turn up ' on Wednesday night to get a result. This draw v Stoke will be disappointing for them having been 2-0 up ( dangerous score ) but equally they will say that the Potters were in the Prem last season so not too shabby.

Loosey Boy Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hope Wood is injured as he seems to be their leader, marshalling the back four well - him being out could help our cause on Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and Zac being ineligible means a patched up defence to a certain extent. That game will have taken a lot out of them too, the effort they put in was huge.

A shame he isn't doing well there as was hoping he would come back ready to fight for first team with us next season. I watched the whole game and he wasn’t poor when he came on, made some very good challenges. The issue for Rotherham was that they seemed very happy to let stoke have the ball out wide and the midfield never tracked runners into the box. Stoke put some quality balls into the box.

Few thoughts on the atmosphere thing. I saw the standard EFL highlights on- obviously Rotherham v Stoke on there. Good atmosphere- that said thought ours vs Villa was decent! On the general points. I think the fact they are back up and see themselves as undoubted underdogs, a backs to the wall feeling really helps. Last time I truly, consistently over a season remember it here was the first season back at this level under GJ- EastEnd in its pomp, the bounce- always believe. We had some cracking atmospheres last season too- Man Utd was fantastic, Wolves was really decent, Villa at home last season on a Friday night also good- Birmingham at home last season fairly good, Man City of course though not IMO as good as the Man Utd game. Would also argue when Baker sent off v QPR the atmosphere stepped up- fans did well. Other decent mentions to the Cup ties v Palace and Stoke at home, plus Boro at home under the lights last December. Lastly an honourable mention to about 10 minutes successively of the 'Frankie Fielding's in the building' chant v Burton on a Friday night in October last season. That all tells me that we can really crank it up. Last thing, I know some may not like the slot but 5.30pm kickoffs, especially from about late September to end of January can really help enhance atmospheres- more beer, floodlights, putting on a bit of a show for TV maybe, more time to get hyped- it all can feed in.

Yep, some good points you made - I have to disagree on your point regarding the East End though - it wasn’t ‘in its pomp’ when GJ was at the helm...it was in its pomp in the 1970s and 1980s...

To emphasise, was talking in recent times- should have made that clear, but posting on phone can make me cut down posts a tad.Before my times too- would query the 80's a little bit though, only because attendances dropped like a stone around the country for good parts of that decade. Yeah well clearly- 70's and 80's was when atmosphere was in its pomp in the UK- terracing, could drink on the terraces for good chunks of that for a start- a terrace where people have had a few and can continue having a few often can be a noisier one.
