Matchday Thread - Part 2. C'mon U Reds

[mygiddypant]

The first half was a good summary of the problems facing Neil. Some good patches, but lacking the killer touch.

Here we go!

[Brin]

Yeeah!

Mattock you beauty….

[mygiddypant]

Mattock scores!! First goal for the Millers.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Talking to mi Sen on other thread lol
Get in Mattock.

[mygiddypant]

Talking to mi Sen on other thread lol
Get in Mattock.

Now you're in stereo!

[mygiddypant]

We've leapt up 2 places!

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Was thinking of some changes NR may be thinking of making I know listening on radio doesn't give you a full perspective of the game, but from what I've heard and with the thought that we need to improve going forward I'd expect NR to possible take Green off and replace him with Andreau and possible Maguire off for Bowery. What's your thoughts?

[mygiddypant]

Bit early, but you could be right.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Yellow card for Smallwood, late challenge.

[mygiddypant]

Smallwood booked for shooting someone, according to the comms. Richie misses Reading game.

[mygiddypant]

Good defending by Mattock, corner to B'ford. Camp retrieves at 2nd attempt.

[mygiddypant]

B'ocks!

[mygiddypant]

Over to you dansk.

[mygiddypant]

Corner to B'ford. At least Judge can't score as he's taking the corner.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Alan Judge header smallest man on pitch, aaaarrrrrrr.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Corner millers maguire takes Bford clear

[mygiddypant]

Corner to Millers. Cleared. Millers preparing sub - JC-H attempt blocked by Derbyshire.

[mygiddypant]

Ward on for White.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

G Ward on for white and change of formation to 433

[mygiddypant]

Derbyshire shoots and cleared by keeper.

[millers88]

Derbyshire sounds like his normal self, missing good opportunites, miss controlling ball in good areas, i don't know what people see in him, wouldn't be nowhere near my team if i was manager, hope Redfearn realizes quickly he's not good enough.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Millers have had 10 shots 4 on target, B,ford 5 shot 3 on target. Still bossing possession, More shoot practice required. Come on millers we deserve a point from this at least.

[mygiddypant]

Green header saved brilliantly by keeper.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Green header saved.

[mygiddypant]

I may be wrong but I don't think C-H has had an attempt on goal yet.

[mygiddypant]

Bowery waiting to make an entrance. F-kick to M's, cleared.

[millers88]

Green another bottler in front of goal, so frustrating when we creating good chances and there falling to our worst players.

[mygiddypant]

Maguire says his farewells, Bowery joins the front line.

[mygiddypant]

Is this the first time JC-H and Bowery have played together up front?

[mygiddypant]

Smallwood decent effort from 25 yds - 3 points.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Smallwood drives high and wide after good play by millers.

[mygiddypant]

Judge fails to complete his hat-trick. Swift off to be replaced by another Millers loanee.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Camp with save to deny judge hat trick thank fuuk

[mygiddypant]

Mattock going off for an early wash. Ledesma on.

[Brin]

56% possession….

12 shots….

6 on target…encouraging…

Come on lads it's there to equalise…..

Not a great day with injuries…Mattock now off….:blue:

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Joe mattock off, the injuries are mounting up. Ledsma. Coming on.

[mygiddypant]

Ward demoted to l-back. Can we make it through to f-t with 11 men?

[mygiddypant]

Judge attempts hat-trick from f-kick. Corner. Headed out by Rawson.

[mygiddypant]

Scrappy play as time winds down. F-kick to Millers. Another damp squib.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Free kick milers straight a keeper.

[mygiddypant]

Another f-kick to Millers. C'mon U Reds!! Handbags flying in pen area. Keeper take "awful cross".

[mygiddypant]

6 mins added time. Make that 5.

[mygiddypant]

Methinks we need a bit of inspiration in the middle (don't think its Ledesma).

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Millers corner cooooommeeeee on you reds

[mygiddypant]

Corner to Millers. Could this be the first mention of Bowery? Nope - crap cross.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

****e corner by ledesma.

[mygiddypant]

Thanks to kev for his contributions, and to our many viewers. Sorry we couldn't get a better result for u.

[kevthemaltbymiller]

Game over millers beaten by 2goals to 1. Thanks giddy for the match thread.

[brassgnat]

Didn't go, but listened to radio commentary from approximately 30 minutes in.
We sounded as though we were not that bad, as before, but lacked in the final third.
In divisions below we could look like winning or losing 4-3, but now we haven't got a natural goal scorer, at this level. Neil Redfearn said in the post match interveiw, about being a team harder to beat, but in our situation, while we do need more clean sheets, we won't stay up on nil-nils.
