Just look at the bench and don't see any players that would make a huge impact. Allan Campbell and Karoy aren't going to grab a game by scruff of the neck and drag us back into this. Godden, Chuks and DK last 20 if it was close would make sense but that's it really.
I nailed that first half , saw the first 15 mins and fell asleep just after they scored their second and awoke a minute before Leaburn scored ours . Thank goodness for our complete dullness , which helps bore me to sleep like I’m sure I do most people .
When I saw the team on Tuesday night is when I started worrying for today. This group has played a lot of football in the last month. A lot of it good, mind, but with a run of Saturday-Tuesdays I wish Jones would have rotated more in the cup. I know that's not a popular opinion, and we played pretty well at Preston, but the minutes were going to catch up to this team eventually and I think it has today.
Nice finish from Miles but everyone looks knackered physically and mentally. To not even hold the 2-1 into halftime says it all.
Also, a word for Rotherham, this is a good squad with a begrudgingly good manager in decent nick who are good at home. There's no shame losing to them by the odd goal. But the performance today is not that.
Brownie keeps banging on about them being this and that. I think they look just as Shite as any other team in this pub league and it’s purely down to our own undoing. Defence is all over the place!!
It’s as simple as this. We’re crap. It’s Leaburn and a bunch of chancers. I include the manager in that.
The Welsh (tactical marvel) Jones needs to hook off the catastrophe that is Lloyd Jones cos even REG isn't actually worse than the tripe he's served up today Fatslug Evans's cloggers will shut up shop again now their 2 goal lead is restored and we'll be subjected to relentless interruptions, 'injuries' and time wasting.
Might as well lose 4 or 5 so all out attack is required doing what we do best i.e. fast breaks down either wing so: Edwards off for Godden - Small down the left, TC down the right, Godden up with ML, bring Chuks on for Doherty with 20 minutes to go and Karoy on for Coventry as soon as he fouls again cos dickhead Drysdale loves a red card
HT 3-1 …. Story of the first half one offside goal , two mistakes by Jones and a pen not given to us …
People will moan at Nathen Jones but what could he do today, two individual errors and a poor ref
yes I'll moan at NJ, he could have set the team up to counteract a team that plays the Evans way and and for the allegedly offside goal it was still there to be defended but wasn't due to our poor defence

Anderson might because he'd be willing to get stuck in, win the ball high up the pitch like for our goal and we have a chance
Given an undeserved lifeline just before half-time and we still manage to blow it in the 5th minute of injury time. We’ve been a shambles at the back and almost non-existent elsewhere. We’ve struggled to put a couple of passes together and Rotherham have won practically every 50/50.
At the very least, we need to come out and show a bit of fight and desire in the second half. If we don’t, we could be on course for a real hiding.
Doesn't look like an "almost Championship level squad" to me. Hopeless first 45mins. Rotherham are ordinary but just a lot stronger with far more desire. When you see Lloyd Jones outmuscled by Andre Green you know you are in for a long afternoon.

This is one of the poor ones.

Football managing's easy innit?
Jones is having a shocker and if we had a replacement, he'd be hooked at halftime. Sadly he's the best in his position so will stay there.
An even second half and 3-1 result would flatter us right now.
E I E I E I Oaah!
11 shots to our 5
4 on target to our 2
Dreadful, season over, mid table nothingness and signings this month non existent.
They don't deserve us as fans.
