MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (a)

[YorkshireRoyal99]

Tend to agree that either or seems ok but they don’t convince together

Suspect McIntyre may find himself on the bench next week

Yep if Sarr is available it will be TMac who drops out and rightly so.

Leave Yiadom at RCB?

Not for me, Yiadom at RWB and Sarr comes into the middle of a back 3 and Hoilett moves further forward into a position he's better in.

[windermereROYAL]

Norwich bottom, funny ole game.

[Snowflake Royal]

Long forgot he's not that quick any more and then delayed the pass to Camara too long there.


Agree YR- actually, what am I saying, I'd sack this bullshit back 5 off completely.

Yep so would I.

[Vision]

Lumley has stopped coming out for anything now. He'd have attacked that corner at the start of the game.

[YorkshireRoyal99]

I wouldn't sack it off completely, can see against Cardiff why it can be successful and we weren't actually poor at Blackpool either with that shape, but I don't think it's the best thing to use if we don't have the players available to play it.

Difference is with Ejaria and Ince going forward we could keep hold of the ball better and get up the pitch, we didn't have that today.

defensively and organisationally we were poor in both games.

I have never liked the idea of a back 3 and then comes this season and I think "maybe a back 3 is best for us" and then we ship 4 to rovrum.

[RoyalBlue]

I question whether they are up to championship football at all, especially Holmes

Too slow to be a pair.

Good job Hutchinson is quick, and Sarr is known for being qui - oh.

Don't forget to add in the pace of Dann!

I'd disagree. We were shoddy in the first 10 away at Blackpool and Bowler did cause issues against NGW for a lot of the game, but I don't remember them having too much after the opening 10-15 minutes, hitting the post yes but they weren't cutting us open left, right and centre.

Cardiff quite similar, slow start yes but found our feet and started competing at all levels and again, not sure how many shots they had after the 20th minute? Did they even have a shot on target after that point actually?

[Snowflake Royal]

There's actually quite a lot of nice interplay going forward. Shame the back 8 aren't very good at stopping the opposition.

[Hound]

Organisation after first 20 against cardiff was good

[windermereROYAL]

We`re winning 6-4 for shots on target.

#lumley out

Horrendous, 1 big catalogue of disasters. Perhaps could have done better on the second goal but the pace that would have been on the ball I think makes it look a lot worse.

The third goal is just inexcusable but then we’ve seen keepers at all levels drop that sort of ricket.

The fourth goal - just what was he thinking and why was he where he was, with the defender covering he didn’t need to be so high up in his box. A goal may still have been conceded but he could at least got a little more kudos out of it.

Really wish this had been a trip to Watford or Burnley or WBA instead of Rotherham. Dreading the visits from Blackburn and ‘boro now.

[Snowflake Royal]

second sub on 86th minute.

[Ascotexgunner]

Below shitty Huddersfield. And they are crap.
