Rotherham verdict

[CherryBare]

Well 3 points, we had to keep distance between us and play off hopefuls
Rotherham hard working side but more quality up front and we wouldn't take the 3 points.
Need solanke back ASAP, long and surridge are not going to set the world on fire.
Finding the right combination wide and in the middle is the toughest challenge. Billing again did enough to keep his place.
Rico what can I say, yikes

Almost spat out my drink when the commentator said Rico 'had done a great job on the left today'

Decent the 2nd half.

It just came up on the screen of the booth's Cliche-Matic 2000 so he read it out.
It's the only possible explanation I can come up with.

All Billing did is score disappeared for the rest of the game.

Still disjointed but 3 precious points and a clean sheet (somehow).

One worrying stat Begovic is right at the top of the list for saves made along with keepers from sides right at the bottom.

 

[JIMNNINA]

Excellent result winning ugly.
Defence very good
Midfield worked hard
Front 3 lightweight with poor decision making

 

[Topfarrier]

Absolutely shocking performance......a decent team would have taken us to the cleaners.

 

[Kenya Cherrie]

Stan nowhere to be seen on the right.

 

[Audenshaw Cherry]

Good win, dreadful game.

 

[Kenya Cherrie]

Can I pick the team? its not rocket science for us that watch every game.

 

[Coobster]

I thought Rico did fine, I do feel I watch a different game than some people on here though.

Bit like the pass Rico plays to Surridge, who slips and was going a different direction anyway. Not really anyone's fault (from our perspective as we don't know what the game plan or understanding is between them) as Rico expects Sam to go one way and Sam expects the ball the other. Willow shouts "What a terrible pass by Rico".

You obviously haven't seen Druss' stats link... Statistically, Billing was our best player all over the park...

 

[red_house]

No lack of effort

Some ideas lacking but we battled like every other team has done against us this season.

I think Woodgate just told them to play ugly. None of this sideways crap we've seen, even Kelly was looking to get it forward. Clearly it was all about the result.

Did he win any headers

 

[Topfarrier]

Stan nowhere to be seen on the right.

Not his fault tbf.....I wonder how many games it'll take for Woodgate to realise that he can't play there?

Absolutely shocking performance......a decent team would have taken us to the cleaners.

This terrible Rotherham team last 4 away games - Beat Derby1:0; Preston 2;1; Boro 3;;0 and gave a strong Everton side a close run in the cup - lost 2.1.
Get some perspective.

Bo team Selecta is the closest us mere mortals can get to.

I agree with you on this but... this is now 3 ugly league wins... At some point we need to start seeing performances that match our ambitions...

Happy with 3 points, but desperately want to see a team performance again, and not 11 individuals trying to blag their way through 90 mins...
