    Our apparent attitude today

    What possesses the players to demonstrate such a disinterested performance ? Wonderful opportunity for them all to provide a committed effort for us loyal supporters at the final home league match.
    Sadly, apart from Hegazi and Gibbo at the back and Gayle and JRod at the front, the rest showed little concern nor spirit. Indeed Johansen was blatantly at half pace, not interested in tackling back to recover.
    Delighted, but very, very fortunate to win.
    Some selection issues for the playoffs methinks.

    It was very much a normal end of season game like we have accustomed to the past few years.

    I even remember us getting promoted under God Megson and then losing the last 4 I think it was, including getting battered at sjoke.

    At least it shows the spirit of the squad to come back from so many losing positions to win.

    Today may have been a case of them knowing they are in the play offs and not wanting to get injured.

    Rotherham definitely wanted it more in the first half.

    Personally, I thought jrod was his usual jack of no trades self until gayle won him another pen.

    Can’t disagree BB buddy, but still disappointing to see such a lack of commitment.
    I thought JRod at least tackled back and chased down...indeed passing Brunty !
    As you say, a bit like the 40 points achieved syndrome.

    What I did like was Shan's after match comments when he said he wasn't happy with the performance and let the players know about it, the performance proves we can't try and coast through games we aren't good enough.
