Decent performance from us, especially Dobson and Pearce. Stockley has won plenty of headers but hardly ever got the ball to one of ours. Famewo being caught out of position a lot. Morgan and Gilbey a waste of space. Washington managing to look dangerous and inrffective at the same time!
Stodgy half that, you can see Rotherham’s quality when they move the ball forward, nice and quickly.
However they are pressing us high which means we have managed to cause issues of our own.
I know it’s difficult due to the quality of our team, the game plan, and how well Rotherham press - but all our balls up to Stockley when we are in possession are just going nowhere because when he wins it, it just leads to some head tennis.
Don’t agree CBT was shooting, he maybe hit a bit too hard but it was a driven cross hit hard enough to make sure any defender getting near it might score an own goal. Someone has to be getting onto the six yard line in the centre of the goal. Stockley is miles away, Washington for some reason made a beeline for the corner flag, Morgan and Gilbey utterly awol. Not good enough.

Offside, Rotherham United. Daniel Barlaser tries a through ball, but Michael Ihiekwe is caught offside.

Now we have the mathematical problem of shoving 70 minutes of terrified football and crap defending into 45 minutes.

Our one tactic is to hoff the ball forward in the hope Washington can get on the end of it.
Morgan and Gilbey totally anonymous. Just a question of which one goes off for JF-C. And when.
Fair play to the defence so far. But think we will do well to keep a clean sheet in the next 45 minute.
