Be interesting to see the possession stats today. 
Rotherham average 45% at home. 
City average 45% away. 
 

So neither team are the most comfortable in possession and controlling the game. 
 

This won’t suit our usual ‘smash & grab’ away performances. We’re gonna have to ‘control’ this game if we want to win it. 

That’s our biggest challenge as a team. Can we go and both control possession in a game AND create the chances to get a result?

Possession stats are meaningless. A team can have 80% possession but not create a chance and end up losing the game.

Its what a team does with possession that matters.

Hopefully we've seen that Wells seems to be better on the right and Semenyo on the left so even if there's not outright change there's a small tweak.

Got to get someone closer to Martin and Martin further up the pitch, it's how Fam scored.

Let's just batter them, and win by two for the first time since September. We have to feast against the lower teams in order to be challenge for auto the way we've been playing the top sides.

Bloody hell, what happens to the ball for the other 10%?

I suggest:

Johansson (first league start)
Olusunde / Ihiekwe / Wood / MacDonald / Wiles
Lindsay / Barlaser / Crooks
Vassell / Smith

Keeper making debut!!,

I think the Keeper has one previous championship start for them against PNE in a 2-1 win.

Could be a dour game this one.

(cue 3-3)

You miss the point. Not surprisingly. 
Neither team plays a possession-based game, so it’ll be unusual for one of them to control the tempo of the match. It’ll be interesting to see if we are going to look to dominate possession, or if we will be happy for them to dominate the ball (which they’re not familiar with) and us to play our usual counter-attacking style.

Posters go on and on about possession stats as if they’re important. They’re not they’re quite meaningless.

Not meaningless, just need to understand context.
