When we give it back we get punished.

Norwood nearly breaks Sykes or Scott's leg, nothing. Tanner does the same thing, red. 

Sykes red card against Luton. 

I don't think we need to be elbowing people to get promoted, Tbh. 

No one needs to be elbowing anyone. But we have to toughen up and give as good as we get. Pearson keeps saying it and he is right.

I'll have a go. A lot of bollocks slagging off our match winning captain. 

Nice job!!

Anyone know why Nige got an yellow card?

I think it was because he called the ref a ****.

But I wouldn't take my word for it until it's on the OS!

I reckon QPR have just done enough now with that win. They`d have been bottom four if they`d lost and are now 18th four points clear of 22nd

Yeh they will survive now - shame as wanted some interest on final day 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Just seen the Sky highlights. Never a pen IMO and for all the fuss around HC`s miss I`ve nothing said on here about his brilliant lay off to TC who shot straight at the keeper in the second half.

[Super]

The pen is a joke but thought they had more of a case of one after that when the bald guy went down

What a touch and finish Sammy Szmodics

Did you see the one he punched in earlier?! Then he had the cheek to berate the ref for disallowing it and booking him.

[mozo]

Well, what a strange game!

Our application first half was brilliant, and really Cornick's chance (awful miss!) could have sent us on the way to a rout. 

Second half, as has been the case a few times this season, turned in Rotherham's favour. 

I don't think there should have been any penalties in the game. 

It should have been a narrow win for us, and I guess we got what we deserved.

Has to be said, the luck involved in the ball landing to Weimann is epic! Several crazy bounces including off a defenders arse! Madness.

Scoring a last minute winner is always sweet. Now the buzz has subsided it's just an odd game to reflect on.

It was a typo - which I was able to rectify. Shows what can happen if you don’t check before posting………..

In fairness, your seat in the SS is about as far away from the incident as possible!! Looked it from my seat in the Dolman too mind

Well, I was 2000km away in Spain and I could see it should have been a penalty

[BCFCGav]

Better finishing / a competent referee and that’s a much easier afternoon, but to win against 12 is always impressive. Well done boys ️

Always found it very odd what happened here with him - he’s clearly a very good player with a good touch and knows where the net is

At what point are people going to finally clock Rotherham could still go down, so were always going to be grim to play against as they’re still fighting for their lives?

What are you guys going to do in the summer when you don't have a match day thread to rail against fans who are critical? You'll need a new hobby.

The Ashton/Lee Johnson scattergun tombola happened. He wasn’t the only one

There’s a whole summer of recruitment that needs the same thoughts.

[Ska Junkie]

Bit of an end of season performance imho. I was a bit bored tbh.

Nice to win though.

Quite possibly the most low-key post on a last minute winner this forum has ever seen, with even a hint of criticism thrown in for good measure!

Good Interview with Nigel but my god his jumper with that massive flying  Robin on the front, looks like his pyjamas.

A decent layoff. But a miss literally every one of us wouldve scored! He had more chance of scoring than missing from there. Lets hope a decent summer of fitness for him sees him come back differently to what weve seen so far!

[tin]

Thought we were good in the first half, capped by a great goal. But yet again we didn’t cash in when on top. 

Their pen was on the soft side, especially given that the one against Pring after the pen wasn’t given. 

Lovely to get a last-minute winner after so many that went against us in recent years, and overall it was deserved IMO.

The kind of style which beat multiple premier league teams including Mourinho's star studded Manchester United, in a cup that nearly took us to a league cup final?

Cornick was chasing shadows all game - sitting in the Lansdown had him in front of us in the second half and every time the ball came near him he was either too soft in the challenge, too slow in the first 2 yds of pace and his legs just don’t seem to react quick enough. His pass completion % must have been appalling.
 

He needs a huge summer to get fit, bolster up and improve his reflexes and generally turn into a Championship footballer rather than one from the lower leagues. 
 

We have sooooo many players ahead of him (when fit) I’d be amazed if he kept his place in the match day squad next season.

He did some good harrying at time and won a decent header, but in general I thought he was bog standard and the miss was a shocker. If his confidence has been wavering since signing, today will not have helped at all.

I was gutted not to see Mehmeti today.

When he was on the pitch?

Does that mean he's now suspended? He was 1 booking away from a suspension pre Man City wasn't he? (apologies if already clarified elsewhere)

[1960maaan]

I really want him to do well, but I'm really struggling with what Cornick adds to the team.
His touch isn't great, when he closes he looks like he's doing it without a plan. Even ignoring the open goal miss he looks clumsy and directionless at times. I really hope he has a good Pre-Season that makes him more confident and effective.
