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

[Mr Redknapp]

Results mean everything in Footba' and Beale could do well but personally, with life being so short i'd rather be entertained under an attacking manager

 

[Durham lad]

No good putting strikers on if we're failing to create opportunities and driving from midfield, through the channels and one-two's etc...we're simply clueless in the centre section of their half moving forward, when we have one of the most respected and creative attacking midfielders in the division...bizarre!

 

[DC88]

Burstow ready to come on

 

[craigypants]

Gonna lose due to Adil?

Might just be the worst comment of the night this.

No....said the manager needs to kick arse. But not a manager. Hes head coach....giving head coach....

 

[jimb]

why are we so obsessed with playing this bloody formation every week, it is clear it only works if teams attack us.
we are playing against a side bottom of the league 10 points from safety, its obvious they are going to play everyone behind the ball and hope to nick a goal on the counter or set piece.

 

[GipseT]

Not sure Aouchiche deserves to stay on after that showing tbh.

Been poor but I can't figure out what role he is playing... The system sure is not helping

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Bring pembele on for seelt, from the little I’ve seen of him he like to get up the pitch and run with the call

If he’s fit, it could make the difference. They’re trebling up in Clarke as we have nothing on the opposite side

 

[Rocky77]

If Beale isn’t allowed to sign an already developed striker in Jan then I wouldn’t blame the fucker if he walks away.

Why the fuck are we doing this to ourselves after getting 10 mil for Ross. Fuck the Lego model.

How many times are people going to spout this bollocks. He's took the job knowing exactly what his role is. Same as Neil and Mowbray before him.

Might just be the worst comment of the night this.

To be fair -he has been very poor -along with many more
One things for sure we must get better?

 

[Stubbs ftm]

2nd half can't be any worse than that, can it?

 

[Vore]

Yet if we can find a winner it'll be 4 wins in 6. Following mowbrays 2 from 10.

I'm not willing to write beale off after 2 and a half games.

I wrote him off before he signed, and id be absolutely astounded if he proves us wrong

 

[superhans1]

Sunderland 65% possession, 2 shots, 0.06 xG - Rotherham 35% possession, 5 shots, 1.21 xG

Yep, could be 2-0 if it's wasn't for Patterson. Two good saves

 

[Windypants]

Rotherham have been working very hard. Hopefully, it'll catch up with them in the second half and we get a few opportunities.

 

[chuckyroll]

A Rangers fan I know said this is how he plays. Dreary, slow, shit football. They couldn’t wait to be shot of him. He’s another Billy bullshitter.

We are fkd

 

[Yuri]

Beale is f***ing dreadful mind. Can't even be arsed to try any new tactics

 

[Scootsie]

I don't mind jobe up top, he can shoot at least

We really need to inject some pace earlier on in the build up. A couple of times we've had a centre mid carry the ball and they've fallen apart (and luckily won the ball back). We just haven't heard be it enough.

Can he?

 

[RossTheNinja]

He's up front for some reason

RProblem is its new manager syndrome where you've got to go through all the dross again so he can look at them. Ba must be excellent in training given the faith shown in him.

Seen nothing much from Aouchiche that suggests he's in the class of Pritchard yet. Had a couple of early cameos but pretty much nothing since.

Yes, well he better work it out quick cos there's not much goodwill in the bank for him

 

[Boo]

Jobe for that reason.
Jobe because he's been almost invisible.

He has, but so have others. It's a tough one, this.
