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

[Roker Mackem]

He’s absolutely shite

He was decent towards the end

 

[safcol]

Crap

 

[Gonk]

Lucky deflection but otherwise absolutely zero goal threat from us.

 

[Alfa]

Absolutely abysmal that. Clarke was nowhere near his best but take him out of that side and we’ve got absolutely no threat

 

[The soap powder]

These young lads do not want to play for Beale

 

[Man About Town]

KLD just took a massive shit on everyone's xmas hiring Beale

 

[GBSAFC]

Rancid ....speakmans obsessed with progression mantra looks ridiculous

....we"re regressing under del boy

 

[billingham mackem]

Absolutely minging performance. How bad is Burstow? I've not seen a more useless lad on the pitch

if the ball isn't played into him what the f*ck is he supposed to do, jobe could have played him in with a nice through ball but no went sideways

 

[englishman abroad]

Burstow is like playing with ten men. World class training my arse. Half arsed pedestrian football.

I thought bringing Ba on for Roberts was a disgrace as well
Burstow & Ba would struggle to make an impact at Shildon

 

[Ark]

Christ knows what kind of football we'll be playing when boring Beale gets us up to scratch with his style.

 

[southstander]

I'm often accused of being a happy clapped but that was pure unadulterated shite !
We are going backwards as far as team setup and tactics are concerned.
Without Clarke where would we be but he is as guilty as most of them of overpaying it against very moderate opposition.
Rant over.

Agreed. Big mistake to replace TM with Beale from what I have seen so far.

 

[showman]

We will finish in the bottom half this season

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Really poor. Players look shot

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

Blimey you’d think we’d lost

the team that's 24th in the league, and the team that was 6th struggled to beat them, poor very poor that.

 

[Chewit]

Tell you what can tell how shit Ba is we have to compliment him for doing 2 runs and a simple pass must of been that step over.

Most he's done in about 4 games.

Went down to 10 men when he came on

 

[safc9450]

Will go to sleep praying to wake up a statement titled "I fucked up" from Speakman and Beale has been sacked

Then Jan 1st "Burstow loan terminated"

Burstow terminated ,shorter version !

 

[mutley]

KLD and Speakman must be so proud of themselves after that

 

[Fletch]

They were doubling up on Clarke every time as well. As vital as he is for us, he needs to learn to pass the ball earlier/quicker in those situations as they rarely come off when he tries to take on 2 players in a confined area

Pass to who
There’s rarely anyone in the box

 

[CraigyLee]

We got a point

They’re not that bad at home like

15 of the 17 have come at home they’ve had some really decent results against the big teams

I think we have our hands tied until Speakman/KLD go out and do something in January and I’m not sure they will

 

[Wanneroo mackem]

How can beale walk off there shaking hands and laughing after we played like that
