Rotherham (H) Match Thread

[Tielemans63]

Great move, horrendous finish 

[JimJams]

Mavs Kryptonite. Good connections on a shot!

That run though!

[StriderHiryu]

That was a great move and the way Mavididi has started this game, I expected better from him.

 

Nice play all round until the finish.

[Benji]

So frustrating to watch.  Ref has zero control over the time wasting which is killing the game.

I've seen him on Clarksons Farm I think.

One of those weird games to watch this. 

 

Build up has been good. Just missing that final bit of quality in end product. 

[Chrysalis]

took until 37 mins for some dribbling and a proper shot at goal, not good enough at the moment.

It's online/radio commentary matched to the video isn't it?

But what are we doing to tire them out? We're hardly stretching the game or zipping the ball about. 

 

I'm trying to look at these games with a lens on next season. We can't play this style with this tempo and expect to have much success

I doubt we'll face a team that sets up like this against us much if promoted.  

 

But hey, I'm relying solely on the posts in this thread to inform me of what's happening, so what do I know?

How many established Premier League teams do you think will go into games against us thinking "Shit, better play 12 at the back!" ?

If you prefer it, rotherham stream cant afford a commentary team, its raw feed.

[Pita]

They are making hard work of this 

[wardyfox86]

Got the feel of a frustrating day.

 

Still confident we'll get a goal 2nd half.

[CaliFOXnia]

We’ve had 200% possession here and all we’ve had to show for it is Mavididi sticking one on the Aylestone Rd. 
 

Might be set up for Yunus to unlock these here with abit of creativity and guile. Not sure Mavididi or Abdul will offer that. 

[The Doctor]

And faking a head injury. They're making a joke out of you ref

I think it's radio commentary, so fair enough. If I was only listening I'd probably appreciate it.

[Nod.E]

Getting desperate to find a pass too early here. Need to be more patient

[BKLFox]

Are you Man City are you Man City are you Man City supporters in disguise….

[David Hankey]

We've scored 44 goals and the Millers have conceded 44, is this likely to change?

I can’t watch or listen today, so was just having a quick read.

 

 

Same.  It's very disappointing, not even one major fall out yet and the only truly absurd comment was early on from @weller54 and that's hardly a shock. 

 

The overall theme seems to be everyone is very bored except @StriderHiryu because he enjoys suffering for his art and I appreciate him for it.

Why do I get nervous when I read that 

Wait for itttt

[JimJams]

Just checking that everyone here is aware that games are 90+ minutes. If anyone is unsure.

[Chrysalis]

We got 4 or 5 players unmarked again and again outside their box but we just keep pumping it wide, way too predictable.

 

Just pass or run through the middle of them with pace.  Will either win a free kick or get a clear shot on goal.

 

Its so laboured as if we think we dont need to work for it.

 

Has daka even touched the ball yet?

I wonder if this is a deliberate ploy to conserve energy pre Ipswich. Strike at certain points in the game, would explain the strong line up
