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

[GipseT]

Speakman out ffs ...

 

[0verlord44]

our final ball is pathetically bad at the moment

 

[Taffyduck]

Toothless upfront again. No movement no nowt

 

[jarrowdiamond]

Rusyn & Pembele for Jobe & Seelt at halftime please.

Lets get a forward on and a full back who’ll drive past the wideman

1st sub on 75 mins when we're 1 0 down. Nailed on (barring Roberts sub of course)

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Just like under Mowbray then.

Aye. Except now they’re not paying Venus’ wages. Money saving exercise.

 

[Madmartigan]

ah! going down to 10 men. That's the spirit ! It'll confuse them !

Might make us try harder

 

[Safc88]

We look loads worse like

 

[safcforver]

Shite this

Hull game was shite anorl

 

[Chucky Puddin]

Slow and pedestrian!

Rotherham just playing for set pieces and don’t want to play football

 

[foggyballa]

How hard is it for us to find one of our own players with a pass? We’re wearing hi-vis ffs.

 

[SteveFTM]

We're doing a great job of making Rotherham look good.

 

[Perryqhill]

And have a donkey as a manager

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.

 

[Sarcoid Kid]

Ekwah still seems miles off the pace

 

[Hugh Gains]

For the ‘talent’ we have we aren’t half dull

 

[dcl0sc]

This is shite like.

 

[Ark]

And still beat them

Take it you didn't see the goal.

 

[Bg86]

Adil hardly had a touch

 

[Iballistic George]

Maybe but we are hardly “getting battered”

Not exactly battering them either tho are we

 

[TB22]

We need Pritchard on . He the only one knows how to play forward and in the last third we are.clueless atm.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Not alot granted bits and pieces tactical bits probably on Beales lovely PowerPoint presentations. Best coaching Speakman has saw apparently..... shouldn't take long to sink in.

Don't need the training pitch all the time to set players up to play a certain way etc but I do get your point.

Speakman hasn't helped him one bit with that comment. I'm not exactly delighted he's here but it'll take a decent chunk of time to have them playing how he wants.
