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

[billyboy]

I don't know why an experienced striker makes a difference.

We just need someone who scores, age and experience really doesn't matter. There's a lot of utter shite experienced strikers.

We’ve got no one to hold the ball up front making runs in the channels letting the defenders know they’ve been in a game. How many touches did burstow have? It’s so frustrating.

 

[Carley Hill wanderer]

Is he though. The entire squad are skilled at running at defenders.

Where, you're in for a big shock when he nashes off

 

[ontap]

No one is saying we played well but the overreaction is comical . People sitting with their cocks in their hand hoping Beale fails .

It's the match thread mate , its entirely predictable. pathetic imo.

 

[dcl0sc]

..i had a poster tell me 2nd half Burstow had to carry on doing what he was doing and he had made a difference....

WTAF?

 

[Chewit]

Ah, not the, "but they kept fouling us". That's blx, sorry but that does not defend that performance.

I didn’t say it did. … it’s you talking bollox

Righto

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

Im not having anyone slagging Clarke off after that like. He’s our only positive.

He’s bound to make the odd wrong decision playing with a bunch of tame, headless chickens like Jobe, Ba and Burstow.

Clarke was our best player tonight with a 6/10 performance

 

[Football Dinosaur]

I’m pretty sure no one is expecting, planning for or perhaps even hoping for promotion this season.

You think people bought season tickets to stay in this league?

 

[Rocky77]

It's the match thread mate , its entirely predictable. pathetic imo.

Your reaction and view is every bit as bad as an over reaction. That performance was dreadful and you're happy with it. Laughable tbh

 

[FishburnMackem]

Clarke was our best player tonight with a 6/10 performance

He will be gone in Jan. Guaranteed.

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

We simply didn’t make them work anywhere near hard enough

Something is just not clicking ATM. I know someone will say chances and goals but I think it is more than that. Doesn't look as fluid as we used to play.

 

[FishburnMackem]

Your reaction and view is every bit as bad as an over reaction. That performance was dreadful and you're happy with it. Laughable tbh

Agreed. Shocking performance. We shohld be blowing teams like this away

 

[ontap]

So why change it then if he can’t do anything?

Why not leave Mowbray in charge until the end of the season? What benefit are we getting from employing a new coach at a period in the season when games are thick and fast?

What is your point ?
Well Beale didn't change it did he ?
Are you blaming Speakman ?
That's a different argument than saying Beale isn't good enough after 3 games.

 

[radjee gadjee]

Alreet Michael how's it going?

You have to realise that they're absolutely rock bottom of the league and it's no use banging on about the positive results they've had when they're f***ing bottom!

Ignore him mate. He’s one of the happy clappers that think KLD and Speakman can do no wrong. He is utterly pathetic.

 

[Carley Hill wanderer]

Was listening to the Last of the Summer wine commentary for Rotherham and he pointed out a couple of times that Burstow has made a number of excellent runs but wasn’t found.

Habits are not to play that ball it seems.

Heard that, was actually a very unbiased commentary

 

[JJH]

How you gonna change that? You're not. Just accept the draw and move on instead of doom mongering

No changing it unless KLD decides to.
However come ST renewal time the pendulum might swing as he might be shocked at how many don’t follow the ‘model’.
Then again we might go on a run and get promoted via playoffs
Who knows

 

[NLawton]

Ignore him mate. He’s one of the happy clappers that think KLD and Speakman can do no wrong. He is utterly pathetic.

I'm a happy clapper too mate, but there's no excuse for tonight.

 

[Blame Me]

We don't have a centre forward. We were losing 1 nil. Why's it not a good point?

We played the bottom team, scored a deflected goal, looked like a team of strangers, played with a striker half the game and didn't bother to pass to him mainly because he didn't run into space and it seems we don't know how to play or set up with a dedicated striker and we have to be happy we scraped a draw.

I'm as happy clappy as they come, but today's show was an embarrassment and all the 1 point does is paper over massive cracks of an inept system the club has set up.

 

[---Nemo---]

Couldn't agree more re Dan Neil. He's massively important to us and is head and shoulders the best centre midfielder at the club

While being played out of position IMO. We're sacrificing his attacking qualities on a French shaped altar. Ba and Sneezy in particular need to be learning how to play British football in our stiffs, they're way out of their depth in the first team.
