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

[KGC83]

This is what he was like at Rangers. Exactly the same as what we are doing. Just aimless passing about.

This IS his style of play.

Surely it can’t be his style of play when apparently he doesn’t play wingers? Everything is based round our wingers, we need a centre forward on asap.

 

[sunderlandsnicestboy]

Poor when your up against the leakiest defence in the league and their keeper hasn’t even been troubled.

 

[Drexl]

Half way through that half I wondered what the fuck I was doing with my life watching that utter nonsense.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Who said anything about not playing a striker? Mowbray’s football was a lot not enjoyable to watch than this slow boring shite.

Couldn’t agree more. No shots on target against the bottom side with a patched-up back four. In fact, not even a half chance created.

 

[BeefCurtains]

FFS it's like every match we can't pick the right team or make the right sub. Speakman having too much say?
Crying out for Pritch and a striker.

 

[Skaddnhotpies]

Just got in. Dare I ask, how we doing? And what happened to Roberts

Shite ,and fucked his knee

You really think beale has gotten his style and tatics implemented on this team given the short time he's had with them on the training pitch? Do Foff.

 

[everstar]

Leicester the only team in the top 15 winning somehow

 

[Deener718]

We aren't

We may as well be. When the centre back is on the ball, both Neil and Ekwah are coming short for it

 

[The Situation]

We really have to be winning games like this like.

There's no excuse whatsoever for failing to take 3 points from a side bottom of the league and all but relegated.

 

[Flavonoids]

Nothing up front, nothing in midfield and scrambling at the back ... it's what a confused, can't be arsed or demotivated team usually looks like.

Stinking the place out.

 

[RossTheNinja]

Pull off Jobe at half time

 

[arthursboy]

Haway we have seen it all before
No changes at half time, Pritchard comes on 70 mins expected to change the game

 

[Kenna]

0 shots on target. Wonder whether Speakman is finally seeing the penny drop

He hired Beale, he's already a failure

 

[SAFC Wilks]

That was shit, no composure on the ball at all and the usual panic with set pieces.

Only positive is that it’s still 0-0

 

[stewart10]

That was poor.

No movement in the final third.

Ba has been poor again.

Nothing at all down that right hand side.

 

[G Force]

Reminds me of the Parkinson days. Similar to the infamous Gillingham away game. So boring and zero energy from any of them. You’d struggle to give any of the midfield or ‘forward’ players more than 3/10

Hope we play better second half and we manage to get a win over the line. We certainly need some results to try and get some momentum and positivity going again

Agree though, only a few games in but it’s been tedious so far

 

[pork pie]

Take the positives, we aren't getting beat.

 

[sedling]

Ref has managed to give every possible free kick to Rotherham that he possibly could, while giving Clarke zero protection from the constant holding, pulling and kicking.

Thank fuck its all the ref's fault.

I wondered what the problem was.

 

[dave hedgehog]

Without support from fullbacks in attack we may aswell change shape to get something happening.

Probs could of done with hemir up top with jobe and just ping crosses in
