Pre-Match View From Rotherham

I like Rotherham.

That dude on about the L1 game though. That was when Baxter scored and we lost 3-1. God we were awful that day, we had David fucking Weir in charge. If he thinks we passed it well that day, he's in for a treat Saturday.

I'm going for a score draw.They're good at home.

(2nd comment too :))
 
4th

Claude Davis and Maguire never played for us at the same time. That bloke must be on drugs.
 
Always annoys me when people say we can’t play against an apparent ‘Parked Bus’ when stats show that’s how we score most of our goals we just don’t do it enough despite our xG data

Oh i remember that players came over to clap & many hand signals later from fans they got hint so went down the tunnel. But that baxter goal was quality. Baxter won goal of the month for that. Albeit by default as it was the only goal we scored in September :D
 
Edit - Roy's answered my question in the post above.
 
Ahh fair enough, i had no idea he went to them.
 
Used to have a soft spot for them, until they turned up all billy big bollocks "we're the best team in South Yorkshire" when they had a sniff of glory that came as we hit a real low point, they quickly forgot about us lending them players for free and us fans filling up collection buckets.

Hope we smash them all over
 
Kinnel, I'd erased owd Kryten out of my memory until reading this. Absolute bombscare of a defender & currently the only footballer in history with the ability to head the ball in a perfect 90 degree vertical direction, using his forehead.
 
Living in the past , I suggest I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s toy toy town all over.
Don’t like the ungrateful cunts
 
Didn't realise last time we played them was when they went up and we had the kids out... except,we didn't really.

Remember us singing "How shit must you be, we beat you with kids"

Long (came back in after previously being 1st choice GK)
Freeman
Harris
Hill
Kennedy - KID
Maguire - wasn't a kid, it was about his 3rd season
Davies
Dimaio - KID
McGinn
Baxter
Paynter

So we played with 2 kids, until 64th minute when Khan came on for Harris. Then 74th minute Reed came on for Baxter.

Dimaio then went off late on for Coady
 



I just hope were bouncing back and stick a handful past em.
My missus's family are all Miller's, so a large sweet victory wouldn't go a miss!!

(Everything fucking crossed for this one!!)

Definitely a second string team though with the Hull FA Cup semi coming up - no Brayford, Coady, Murphy, Collins, Flynn, Doyle, Howard, Scougall who all started at Wembley. I guess "how shit must you be, we beat you with reserves" doesn't scan so well :)
 
I have a feeling it’s going to be a very tough afternoon. They are good at home and we are rarely at it after the international break.

And i'm going to my 4th away game of the season...

  1. Middlesbrough
  2. Bristol C
  3. Derby
  4. :(
 
Only 3 Blunts though ,very disappointing although there was 1 deedar, tough game, they all are aren't they ? Couldn't give a toss about how good they are at home, we play well and I think it could be 0-3, somebody will no doubt tell me it doesn't work like that, I am confident . Good honest comments mind.

I don't begrudge a smaller team having a moment of glory and being all billy big bollocks. Why not? We slipped and other fans could have a good laugh at us for a while. I think it only becomes ridiculous when a smaller team has a moment of glory but then the fans start complaining that they're "not where they should be" when they slip back down - like Brentford recently.
Anyway, I think Rotherham should be bigger than they are, really. They have the catchment for it.

True, but we all found the song very funny.

G and H block were full as usual when playing a local team and with sitting in SS, the Rotherham fans had absolutely no response to the chant, especially as before they were all giving it big about smashing us.

I enjoyed the moment and the game.

“We have a worse record against them than against the pigsters. I think we may lose but would take a point now.”

“I watched the sheffield derby wow what a boring game. The piggies were awful and I would be happy to play them every week, and the blunts had no idea how to break down a defensive team and created very little in terms of clear chances.”

Even the toytown fans know the piggies are the S6 lot.

if they think our fitness levels will drop after 70 minutes then they will be very disappointed.
 
They are tough to beat at home but we are at a crucial moment of the season a loss and a draw in the last two games makes it imperative we get a win tomorrow.

This point last season was the beginning of the eventual slide into mid table it’s psychologically important to pick up three points I feel.
 



Could someone explain what they mean by "owing us". I don't think loaning them squinny and having a bucket collection means they have to let us beat them every time we play or have to fawn all over us. Entitlement S2 style, its in the past, get over it.
