   Attempt missed. Mallik Wilks (Rotherham United) left footed shot from the centre of the box

The lack of effort is shocking

This forum is a joke. 

This time last week we were improving and had a real chance this year. 

Now we’re absolute shite and everyone always knew we were.

So many bandwagon jumpers. It’s ok to just take each result for what it is you know

Berry heads Edwards' cross at goal but it's a comfortable stop for Phillips  28'

This is the second game in a row where defending has been casual. Preston was good in the whole but we have it away with lapses is concentration and it’s happening again

Their press is mental tbf. We barely have time to take a touch. 

Surely they don’t play like this every week?

Foul throw given against Josh Edwards for going too far down the touchline to take it.  25'

after they kicked the ball back in, spent 30 secs faffing about, then he walks forward, takes the mickey

Southbank

Defence is shocking, midfield nowhere to be seen and forwards cannot control the ball when they do get it, awful all round.

The desperation to be able to say: "I told you so" is verging on the obsessive

Chance - nice deep cross and lovely header from Berry.

Sadly,  too far out so lack of power saw it float into Phillips' hands.

First shot on for us though.

But I thought we were the great pressing side???

I don't think Jones is the greatest tactician.

You can’t abandon your game plan totally because the opposition are having a good spell. 

His tactics have worked for the last couple of months. Has to give it a chance 

“Good spell” - we’re 2-0 down inside the first 15 mins and could be getting tonked by half time if we don’t change something

This is just getting too boring….

Need to keep this to 2 until half time and regroup,we're just not in this at all,not one of our players has turned up yet.

ShootersHillGuru

My complete sympathies to those hardy souls who made the trip today. Let down and all done and dusted in 20 minutes. Shocking.

I've not changed my stance on Nathan Jones. Still dont rate him.

Or you can ride out the spell and play the system that has worked really well the last few months. 

Your approach means that you have to adapt your style to every opponent, which isn’t sustainable

Watched them beat Bolton last week, wouldn’t have said they pressed high but they did win the midfield battle and totally outplayed Bolton. Rotherham are certainly finding their feet now after a very poor start to the season.

Stockport not struggling with the loss of Barry despite many saying they would

   Offside, Rotherham United. Mallik Wilks is caught offside.

Jones not having a good game thus far...
