Not bad, bit scrappy at times. Rotherham have had their moments and we certainly have had ours.
Ahadme has won a good few battles, just need a flick on to find Godden.
Small has put a couple of dangerous crosses in, want to see some more second half for both Godden and Ahadme to try and get on the end of, our plays been a bit too central, two defenders often challenging with Ahadme so not leaving a great deal for Godden to feed off as hard to direct the ball.

What does surprise is the fact that from the initial games this season; Rotherham had the highest xG in the Division, despite not having scored (pre-Huddersfield)? - I thought / expected them to create chance after chance, but they've looked even more clueless than us4

I would say a 32-pounder ... but that's probably the size of his burgers.ForeverAddickted said:

If that's the bench mark for a booking, Rotherham's manager would be facing the death penalty for what he does.Callumcafc said:Mitchell gets booked for having a go at the lino4 -
Usual of decent defending and work rate but lacking quality and poor attack.3

Rip roaring goal scoring haddocks are gonna ave it large 2nd half.4

Ahadme looking more like a centre forward, getting on the end of balls and knocking things down. We haven't done enough, yet, no ball in from the wing backs, a lot coming from the centre backs rather than the midfield working in through balls.4

A 10 doesn’t solve all our problems. Powell didn’t use one, Bowyer did but most of the players he played in that role weren’t anything special.DDOUBLEE said:I get that we are way more solid which is a positive of course, but just seems so uninspiring, starting to understand that calls for a 10 now but that won’t be happening
The creativity needs to come from the team and the way they play, signing a playmaker for everything to go through isn’t the only way to improve our attacking play.5 -
We look like we dont know how to break sides down at all. A 5-6/10 first half, defensively solid, little to get excited about going forward2
-
Will take time for the front 3 to gel but I think we’ve seen solid glimpses from Ahadme, Godden and Berry playing together. Hopefully Gas can get a goal and the confidence will follow. In the long run we’ve also got Leaburn to come in for Godden to offer a bit of extra strength and pace and of course Chuks to come on against a defence tired by Gas.3

GM, you here mate? If not I wonder if a different game is being shown online!Garrymanilow said:Not a bad game to watch, more enjoyable than the last few. Disappointing miss from Ahadme but he's created more than he's cost today. Really has the beating of their defenders in the airBeen a dire half and as for Ahadme, I think it’s admirable and clear how much how much people want him to do well but other than the time he had a header that come of his ear, a shot from 3 yards he blasted over the pass he kicked out, the 12 times he fell over and the 8 times he miscontrolled it, the 5 flick ons to their keeper or full back have been ok. What’s great is he hasn’t got a single bit of abuse in the ground. Everyone wants him to do well, but blimey5 -
Just about saw the Xbar challenge...miss, now that should be shown better...0

Apart from the fact most of his headers have hit his man...golfaddick said:

Although I'm.not a fan of tikka tacka it seems Jones has gone back to the 1970's & just hoof it up to the big man, hoping for a flick on.
Problem is the target man rarely heads it to one of his team mates & so the play breaks down.0 -
No, but we’ve shown this season we’re not limited like last seasons were. They leaked goals. Being strong defensively has kept us in 3 out of 4 league games before today.Stig said:

I will always back him for that reason.balham red said:Thing about Ahadme is in all likelihood he's not very good, but you have to feel for him because he's a real trier and clearly bereft of confidence.
Stockley got on my nerves towards the end because he stopped trying and blamed everyone else for his fuck ups. Unless Ahadme starts doing that I will keep backing him to come good7 -
Never going to do it, running straight at the ball.eastterrace6168 said:Just about saw the Xbar challenge...miss, now that should be shown better...0 -

I’d say 4 out of 4 until Savage pinged one in from 30 yards a week agoScoham said:

We don’t look like giving up the first goal in a game easily anymore and that gives us a massive edge.0 - Sponsored links:

Well organised & good work rate. Lacking in quality. A fit and inform Myles Leaburn would complement the current strikers & make a real difference.1

I'm sure we'd all love to see a highly entertaining side where our players waltz around the pitch in top hat and tails, running rings around the oppo, scoring goals with abandon.SantaClaus said:We are such a limited side.
However as we've been down in this poxy-arsed shithole of a division for far too many years in our recent history we need to ensure we get out of it (upwards!) ASAP to avoid the club sinking towards oblivion.
As such, a workman-like, get-yer-overalls-on type of approach is needed, hopefully without relying on a couple of players each week to put on the Superman cape to rescue us.
Unfortunately that means it'll often be crap to watch.4 -
Nice to see Dillon Philips get a good ovation from The Covered End5
-
Rotherham back out and Dillon gets a good reception from the Cupboard End, which he acknowledges.
Which was nice.5 -
This. 2 teams both giving 100% but basically the game is an uncultured mess.Sillybilly said:Dire game. Agricultural from both. They have marginally more about them. All we can do is hoof it to Ahadme who is willing but essentially hopeless. Midfield bypasses. Awful.

But they've had the only efforts on target. Mannion has had to make 2 saves. Phillips might as well still be at Wembley.ForeverAddickted said:What does surprise is the fact that from the initial games this season; Rotherham had the highest xG in the Division, despite not having scored (pre-Huddersfield)? - I thought / expected them to create chance after chance, but they've looked even more clueless than us1 -

Shots on Target / Shots off Target have resulted in the same outcome thoughgolfaddick said:

Back under way.1

Am glad we've been thoughtful enough to give Steve Evans his own chair.
Watch him sit on the bench and he's sending his subs into orbit!!3
