Think this 2 week int. break coming up looks well timed,

Counted 7 players,...

Hwang,Baath,Forshaw,Hernandez,Sainz,Sorenson,Tomkinson..

who maybe available after. Whilst not all would start, the rest would certainly make our bench look stronger

Tomkinson won’t be, as he’s going out on loan to Bradford

[cambridgeshire canary 6,811]

Reminder that Rotherham have yet to win a match and let in six goals in their last match and.. and then... And then

 

Say the line

[Robert N. LiM 4,501]

Couldn't find a working stream today so not watching. BBC stats suggest we've dominated the first half. Decent share of possession, more shots. If you're watching, would you say that's misleading, as those stats can often be? Or is it a case of Rotherham taking their chances? In other words, can anyone reassure me it's not as bad a performance as the score makes it sound?!

 

[Yellowfuture 71]

Huge scapegoat opportunities today, I wonder who will get the award.

I know its only half time but have written this off - Rotherham hard enough place to go to without giving them 2-0 lead

It appears Hwang is one. Amazing considering he hasn't even stepped foot on a blade of grass yet.

You know how to pass a ball right?

 

Our players don't. That sums us up.

Cheers - that's my usual source but it was buffering like crazy for me today. Either that or our players were moving really slowly.

No I can't, that was an utter shambles. Worst performance under Wagner, in fact Smith would do well to get us playing as bad as that half.

Relying on stats is no good.

I used my eyes and we were second beat to everything, Rotherham deserve the lead.

Indeed, which is why I asked those who were watching. Out of reactions, but thanks to all for the replies.

Kind of thought they would be a tough side for us today and our new approach of getting the ball wide and crosses in, kind of plays into their game plan/limitations.

This is where we will have to be bold and change it up a little. Get Barnes up top, Nunez in behind him and try and get on the ball for a bit, change gino for McCullum if he is having one and don’t be shy to bring placheta in for either Rowe or fassnacht.

The better team is winning. We've been pretty dreadful.

I disagree with suggestions of the subs at half-time, go scream at them now and give them 10-15 to rectify their mistakes, then make changes.

Yeah it was bad for about 15 minutes. Seems to have been sorted and was working fine for the rest of the half.... Unfortunately 😂

Does this mean I have to watch the second half? FFS.

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

One statistic has us having an 85% passing ratio. That seems hard to believe.

We've been shīté

Blaming players who aren't even playing is also shīté

[The Real Buh 3,482]

Wagner did suggest this in the pre interview that Rotherham could be up for it, and they were! 

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,406]

Mccallum 

Placheta 

Springett 

 

All coming on? 

[mrdi 373]

I blame myself, I was too positive earlier today.

Deserved lead for Rotherham. We’ve been awful, literally struggling to string a couple of passes together. 

[kick it off 1,956]

At the game. This is bad. Need a huge effort second half
