*~*~* Rotherham v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[vibezzz]

passing has been atrocious so far and should be 1 down

 

[southstander]

Come on bit of urgency

 

[Kenna]

Wretched stuff to watch

 

[rubberface]

Now do people realise at least Roberts gets us up the pitch and into the opposition's final third??

 

[McMackem]

A few 'nearly' for us - key passes that didn't come off - frustrating that we need about 20 of them to get a shot on target, everyone we play seems to need about 3.

 

[Sir dave]

Long ball football that is given us problems

 

[safcforver]

Jobe has been cack for ages

 

[Perryqhill]

Play off pack obviously as poor as we are

That's the positive from it all I suppose. All very close.

 

[dave hedgehog]

Trai hume and seelt never gonna offer much going fwd. Ba utterly awful. Jobe looks leggy beyond belief.

I really cant see us creating anything unless clarke pulls a rabbit out the bag

 

[Yankee]

Yellow card for that, get stuffed.

 

[Sarcoid Kid]

Either Beales inherited team don't have a clue, or Speakman really is picking the team. Either way, it's obvious to a blind man that we need a striker on.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Losing the physical battle. Losing the effort battle. Losing the tactical battle.

It’s f***ing shite this. These are bottom of the league man.

 

[southstander]

Soft yellow ref

 

[Scootsie]

That is absolutely never a yellow card.

That **** Lindsay has made two blatant fouls and not been booked.

 

[Mace]

Ponderous at best

 

[L1lyBrown]

in front of our eyes

 

[Superbadross]

Jesus man - we need to be able to speed things up as a team and not be so one paced and plodding …

Absolutely shite

 

[Hulkster]

We've had some abysmal performances this season, but this is on its way to challenging them.

 

[Sidewinder2]

Early days. But if he's not a miracle worker or one of the strikers or attacking midfielders suddenly turn into primer Ronaldo/Zidane its probably not going to improve drastically.

Blind man and his dog could see a drop off coming this season after Amad, Stewart etc leaving and not bringing in a bit of quality or experiencefor the likes of Evans, but rather kids and being another season of development for them. Add in letting Batth go, Cirkin and Alese injuries and the balance they give us and its mental were so close to the play off chasing pack.

Damn you with your common sense.

How dare you not join the “Beales fault” brigade.

 

[Phantom of mobs]

What changes did people expected within 2 weeks and about 4 training sessions between all the games?

New manager bounce ? Play a striker or two ?
