How can people want to see Jason Pearce not retained next season,I have not seen this game,but have no doubt he was instrumental in the score,as he always is when the shit is hitting the fan.of course he wont play 40 games,but when we have dodgy away games and need some inspiration,he is the man.
Because he is slow & gives away silly fouls.
You can have him as back up, but then you do that with a few other players as well (Matthews, JFC, Purrington to name but 3 )and suddenly you are back where you started.....ending the season in the bottom half of the table.

We won and you finally surface but that's all you have to say? Pathetic.
That sort of result almost pisses me off more than the shit play, shit losses the way this season has been. Makes you wonder WTF even more. However based on this match well done, but so what.🙄👍🤷🏻♂️
Yep, at least you and Oohaah can enjoy your bowl of custard tonight.
Well, I don't give a flying feck what others post.
I thoroughly enjoyed what I believe was a great performance from our boys...every single one of them played their part today and would give each of them a 10. IMO it's unfair to single anyone out for more praise than the others....or indeed, criticism.
This was a true TEAM performance. I thought our midfield looked stronger & more cohesive than it's been for a long time.....Hmm! Whose return to the team might have been the defining factor there ?
Our defence stayed strong & sucked up the Millers' attacking threat... Smiffy must be feeling a tad downcast tonight. Shame.
And up front, with the assistance of our midfield, we created a fair few chances and had "them" worried at times.
It's been said many a time that one swallow doesn't a summer make, but, boy, did that go a loooong way towards bringing a shed load of positivity to the end of this disappointing season.
12 points from our last 4 matches. That'll do nicely.
We'll be at every one, win or lose, cheering on The Reds.
( kudos to all those that made the journey north today. You deserved that victory)
Rotherham have a simple style. They get the ball forwards quickly and battle and they win more than their share of 50:50s. They are not the most skillful but when they were doing this at their best, they are/were the team to beat. They are still doing it, but have lost a bit of cutting edge to go with it. They have to find it quickly or they will not be going up. Our defence stood up to their delivery into the box and there wasn't much else from them.

*smiley winky thingy*
Indeed, although the urge for custard celebrations has somewhat cooled this season!!, and I’m so relieved you spelled ‘winky’ correctly🤣👍😰
also can I make it clear myself and oohaah have never been together in the same room with said bowl of custard. I know how rumours start on this forum.🤣
Fair play to MacG, huge improvement over the last few games
Agreed. JJ took a leaf out of Bows book and criticised him in public and it has had given him the kick up the backside he needed. Looks much more confident now - and so do the defence.
Joking aside I thought that during the game before we scored.
So fickle the way my outlook on them changes with the results!
Solid performance today and deserved win.
If ever there was an example of a player trying too hard it was Michael Smith this afternoon. Could have had a few had he been more relaxed and a good target man for them even though he didn't produce today.
Happy with performance, Dobbo scoring and putting bet on Bookie's remembered me as took them forever to find odds this morning
Elfie had a tenner on us to win at 5-1….well done fella. I linked up with him in The Bluecoats, according to him that’s going to be his last away game before he emigrates to Brasil.
Pub (the Bridge) was bit of a dump but the beer ok, ground was probably the least rubbish of all the rubbish places this league takes us.
Stadium announcer was irritating, screaming incoherent nonsense over the top of 'free from desire' that was on an endless loop in an attempt to create some sort of atmosphere...it didn't work.
Team were pretty excellent throughout, perhaps could have had a couple more second half.
A win deserved by the travelling supporters as much as anything, there have some pretty brutal northern trips this season, with just Cambridge & Ipswich to go 3 points at the home of the Papa John Champions almost made up for defeats at Accrington, Hartlepool and Bolton. (Ok that last bit is bollocks but, a good win on the road never the less)
Absolute nonsense that MacGillivray changed his goalkeeping style because of criticism from JJ. He actually took note of what many of us on Charlton Life had been saying for months! 😂
Agree. He hasn’t commanded his area since he has been at the club, so not quite sure why Jackson is bringing it up now. All that said, McG looked really assured today.
As he has in the last three or four games in fact.
Jason Pearce marshalled the defence magnificently and also played a blinder….what a terrific old pro he is. He comfortably gets my man of the match vote. Hope we can keep him around next season in some capacity or other, he has such a lot to offer both on and off the pitch. Luv ya Pearcey.
MacG: 7.5 his best performance in awhile Clare: 7.5 Pearce: 8 Famewo: 7.5 Dobson: 9 mom Matthews: 6.5 Gilbey: 4 looked off the pace Morgan: 2 (.5 for the assist that even Dazzler could have made). JFC instead please B-T: 6.5 inconsistent today but his pace is needed in this side Stockley: 7 Washington: 7.5 typical performance. His pace and movement scared them but his finishing let him down. Would be in the championship if he could ever learn how to finish Referee: 7 Opposition: 5 expecting a lot more of them.
Morgan 2…..FFS how ridiculous!🤨
Even more so "even dazzler could have made" I'm proper non league so don't assume anything.
Even though anyone in our team could and should have been able to make that assist, nobody else was there for Taylor to release the ball to and nobody else weighted the ball perfectly in Dobson's path for him to rocket the ball into the net.
I admit Morgan was mostly ineffective, he was there and didn't give up.

Well done to all the travelling support. Talk about loyal, dedicated supporters getting the result they deserve. I'm happy for you all.

Not surprised you were distracted and only half watching it if that was a case. Hope she gave you one! ;-)
