Rotherham away match thread

Well if Saturdays pen was 'foot to foot' let's call that 'arm to midrift'

Like a few of us were saying in the stoke thread the quality of the championship officials seems to be woeful, if the ref didn't see that the linesman should have.

They have been beating us up for the best part of the first half.   And only 1 yellow and a couple of fouls given.

This is painful, think we could play through the thirds if we wanted to but tactic is very obviously back to front quickly 

Don’t think it is, but when we are playing from so deep, it’s dangerous to play into Knight or Williams with Rathbone and Tiehi man-for-man.  So there’s not a lot on.  I’d like to see if James can drop in and Dickie or Naismith drive forward to create that space.

Two pens not given.

Great saving tackle by Naismith.

Dickie great defensive header at far post.

Cornick / Dickie probably our brightest players, getting above “average at best”.

Not good enough, but if we can step it up then we can take this.

And the yellow was for dissent over a throw in decision.

Was about to say Skye’s looks well off the pace but he managed a decent turn and almost a through ball at the end. . 
wouldn’t mind seeing AW on for him but Nige doesn’t make HT changes and prob won’t at 0.0.

dreadful game though- we are so much better than this . So many misplaced passes from Kinght in particular 

start positively and up the composure.  It’s there for the taking. 

COYR.

Linesmen almost never up with play and usually wait for the ref to decide.

Skye?

Really bad start, with no attacking threat and unvoluntary assists to opponents that caused trouble. Then we became tidy, conceded them less space and had a few good moments upfront, penalty shouts included, but they were more dangerous in the last minutes.

Complicated game as expected.

First half thoughts though…

We are playing right into their hands at the moment. It’s all rushed and messy. There is nobody taking control in the midfield, partly because we can’t make 3 passes.

Less of the lumping and get the likes of Peltier facing his own goal with the ball on the deck!

Same old same old this season; we flatter to deceive.

We need to break this cycle and fast.  Start winning at home would be a start, as well as a win this evening against a side that will seemingly be in a relegation fight.

 

Wake up City, and give us something to cheer and something to give us hope.

Not a classic but still intriguing how it’s playing out and how our players react to different situations.

And I’d still rather be watching us, even if it was the World Cup final on the other channel.

Somerset in a cricket final?
