MillersMad Matchthread - The Millers v Portsmouth

[frogmiller]

Today we see the return of Kenny Jackett as he brings his Portsmouth team to the New York Stadium. He will surprisingly be in the dug out against The Millers as an opposition manager than he has as the manager of Rotherham United.
For a lot of us he was seen as a manager who could turn round our fortunes in the Championship after the disaster that was. Unfortunately for one reason or another and a confidentiality clause we'll never find out the reasons for his departure. The departure has left the majority of Millers name calling, and as we will be in a gentile enviroment we'll hear the full extent of the thoughts of Millers.
Personally I think he bottled it for the sake of his CV. What could have been his biggest acheivement in his career he fell short and took the easy way.

I can't remember how many of these players where there at the time but for those he left behind have a point to prove. A double against Portsmouth will be a great boost for the players of Rotherham United, a great way to stick two fingures up at the man who thought they weren't good enough for him to do anything with and a great way for The board to say F**k you Jackett!

Come on Millers! Show this yellow git exactly what Millers are made of!

How do Masborough. What do you reckon with that line up?

[frogmiller]

Twitter is alive with people knocking the inclusion of Yates again.

PW has to see something exceptional in training if he is going to change an unbeaten team

Well Yates is filling a space on the pitch and............erm that's it

I think that's a bit unfair Grist. He has dropped off the front line and won many headers and played some half decent through balls.

Ajayi is a class above and when you think of how he played and the mistakes he made earlier on int season he has turned it arround and he's a delight to watch. Forde and Emmanual are playing well together whilst ont he other flank Mattock isn't giving Williams the same support going forrud. We're light weight in midfield but doing enough. You have to wonder if we had an ounce of class in midfield then these could be ripped apart. They are so well spread throughout the pitch our pressing game isnt happening today but on the other hand they're that far back that they're taking an age to get into our half.

Rodac is the busiest keeper having mad a couple of good saves whilst we're not looking like we're going to score although we're the better team on the ball.

A strange but enjoyable game.
