pride of the west Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Rotherham have had an extras days rest mind which could make a big difference bang in the middle of this block of games. That said they are pony and we should atleast try to take the game to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityFarAndWide Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Any team City ever play in poor form always ends up with us doing our best charity work of turning that around. Lets hope for a change here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've looked at their home games, while not fantastic they appear to be a bit of a tougher nut to crack than that at home. Of their 10 goals at home conceded, in 8 games: 4 came within the last 10 mins. Of all the goals conceded, 3 were penalties, two were own goals. Of the ten at any time, two were after going down to 10 men- though as it happens these were both in the last 10 mins. This is good and bad- it's bad as it shows that they're not easy to beat at home necessarily, but it also suggests they can be susceptible late on, may concede own goals- taking the game to them is one positive there, and could be susceptible to the odd red card- that'd make our game quite a bit easier. On the other hand, 3 of those 8 games were vs Bournemouth, Brentford, Norwich- and of their wins, they were the first side to defeat Preston on the road this season- ie Preston on the road were unbeaten before Rotherham away.

I want to see an aggressive high press. Force errors in the defence. Torment them. Punish them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 It’s way to early to worry about what others are doing!! Let’s just take 1 game at a time and worry about our results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Anyone else remember playing them at home many years ago when we were doing pretty well and they hadn`t won since God was a boy? a Tuesday night in pouring rain and, of course, they dicked us 2-0. Earl Jean got both I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 First half in a nutshell Exceptionally poor half from us, we’ve created nothing and allowed them to dominate. Really fortunate it’s only 2-0, on another day the challenge from TR would have resulted in a penalty. We really have not competed and have been far too easily brushed aside in every area of the pitch. Think FD might replace AS at half time. Need a huge improvement in the next 45 minutes.
