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

[Fez2]

One small foul from Jobe and he’s off.

 

[chuckyroll]

Would it be bad if I said that half was boring as fuck?

Nope

 

[wrighty]

No, he’s coming back any time now. He promised.

Sorry to break it you. It’s been 12 years now . You’ve got to stop waiting by the front door.

 

[MarcoG]

Has any manager in the history of football ever implemented their style of play onto a football team in the space of three games?

Seems like there's so many desperate to write Beale off on here man, give it a rest.

 

[ontap]

Ne shining light Dan Neil stand out player reads the game so well.

 

[Ark]

Cleveland apparently only had a handful of games at this level.

Wiki says Premier League.

 

[one armed boxer]

We played like this under Dodds

Firstly - we didn’t.

Secondly - who gives a fuck about what we played like under Dodds.

I’m worried about how we are going to play and approach games for the rest of a long season, and this style of football is turgid and won’t see us into the playoffs.

 

[Boo]

Should call him Martin O’Beale. Absolutely turgid football this. Expecting a big second half from the lads.

It has been really bad, but I don't necessarily hold it against Beale - it's all so familiar. But I do think this is a big second half for him.

 

[Kenna]

That was f***ing awful, Beale is slowly destroying the way we normally play. After just two and a half f***ing games, that’s some feat.

Does seem like it's Beale, even when we won the other day we were awful.

 

[BumbleBee]

He’s cack Ba like.

Offers absolutely nothing in that position.

He's not a RW and Seelt is not a RB.

 

[bozwellboyce]

Absolute garbage.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

The Rotherham commentator listing the ages of his grandchildren was easily the single greatest introduction to a match. It's not got better since then

I like him

 

[Gaz]

Would it be bad if I said that half was boring as fuck?

Its what most are thinking

 

[Doberman]

They also built him up to be a hybrid of Klopp and Pep

That was prior to his appointment. We were wrong. By quite a distance.

This style of play is Beale. This is what you get.

Side to side, slow everything down. He hasn't changed.

 

[InsomniacAttack]

The Rotherham commentator listing the ages of his grandchildren was easily the single greatest introduction to a match. It's not got better since then

Are you sure it wasn't the ages of our midfielders?

 

[georgywill]

You're right, this sort of thing literally never happens anywhere else.

It doesn't when a head coach is trying to inpose himself on a team and fans early on. Advocat shouted at his own trusted coach he brought in himself just for shouting from his chair nevermind getting up onto the touchline. Find me one instance where the coach is up giving orders in front of his boss in only his 3rd game in charge and I'll show you a liar.

 

[rokerman]

On a positive note, he will be gone in 3 months.
Never have not got behind a manager. The last was Dicanio. He was a car crash too.

 

[stan the man]

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 definitely showing a completely different style. He needs to change something because we are simple lacking anything in attacking options.

 

[chuckyroll]

One small foul from Jobe and he’s off.

Crazy not to sub him

 

[Northern Munkey]

Same as the majority of the season. No focal point, sloppy with our passing and just happy to play backwards to often.

Can see these getting one off a set play and then us not being able to break them down.
