Foul throw, the ball back to the thrower looked marginal for offside, the cross looked like it could have gone out given how deep it was and nearly dropped over the back post, to a player clearly holding Gunter's shirt. How all of that culminated in a goal is slightly beyond me
Not be beyond me, Rotherham clearly have the referee in their pocket
Officials have been fucking appalling and I’m watching on stream with replays 🤬
No surprise really, they've all got the same kits as the Rotherham keeper. If they can't sort a simple thing like that out, what can you trust them to get right?
They're talking about it now in the studio but Rotherham have been full of running and absolutely everywhere tonight. They have won most of the second balls. We need to get it down and play more, but that's easier said than done because they are a good side.
Big challenge now for Jacko. Don't need a drastic overhaul at HT, just some tweaks around the edges.
Last ten minutes of that half was as disjointed as we've looked. We're rushing everything. Perfect example is Craig nearly knocking out Pearce with a clearance
Undeserved on the balance of play - a good old fashioned battle though, we'll get back into this. Would like to see Davisson on at some stage to give Stockley some support.
On another note - excellent commentary from Terry & Brownie - really enjoy their insights & light years away from the nightmare days of the BBC radio woman commentator who used to chunter on about everything apart from the match - what was her name & whatever happened to her?
Lucky Rotherham 0-1 HT, we are not taking our chances when they come, which we desperately need to do, second half kicking towards The Covered End may just get us back into it, we have had a good first 45 and have been let down by some shit refereeing, lets make it a better second 45.. very lucky Rotherham..
Lee and Gilbey have not really got going. But if we had a goakscorer instead of Washington we would be level. Stockley's early booking took the aerial route out and we have not found another way through. Its going to be a tough second half.

They've had more possession, more shots and more corners.

Deserved lead in my opinion. A fairly tight match but Rotherham have looked more comfortable than us.
Do they? - they've barely troubled MacGillivray
All pomp no end product
Our defending just looks that little bit more desperate and the clearances have been hurried instead or playing our way out. They have had more of the ball and they look less stressed in defence when we come forward. I;m not saying we've been bad, far from it, but if the balance of play was the other way around I'd feel we were the better side and could be leading.
There's a way back into this for us though, we're certainly not out of it.
I only got to watch it from about 30 minutes onwards. I understand we possibly started slow but I thought we bossed that 15 minute period from what I saw and have ended up unlucky to be behind.

We are in this
No need to worry about DJ defensively, he's been great.
COYR.
The atmosphere here is absolutely rocking!
Stockley's early booking took the aerial route out and we have not found another way through.
Its going to be a tough second half.
that said, should have done a lot better to defend that
I love Washington but fuck me he's a frustrating watch.
DJs been whipping in some good balls.
