MillersMad Matchthread - The Millers v Bristol City - 2nd Half

[frogmiller]

Well my good lady wife is 100% spot on so far. Shesaid we'd win 1 - 0 and score in the first half so get read for a nail biting second half.

The posession count is a real worry with them having 69% of the ball. The big difference it seems to me is the counter attacks.
When we win the ball and counter we rarely end up shooting, we often win corners but they petre out however when we lose the ball the oposition tends to have a crack at goal.

[frogmiller]

Both Ward and Newell with shots but saved

correction the ball bounces over Newell

[PerigordMiller]

Surprised to see Fry thrown straight in, but sounds promising

[CTMilller]

It's stating the obvious, I know, but with Frecks in mid-field those breaks would amount to something and we wouldn't be allowing them to recycle the ball so often. Will be interesting to see how Stubbs uses his subs in the second half.

[frogmiller]

Brown was limping but is now ok.

City have had chances but good defending has thrwarted their efforts

Again Freeman shoots but wide.

We must get another before they finally break their duck! One may not be enough for a point

[frogmiller]

Surprised to see Fry thrown straight in, but sounds promising

They described him as a mister and not a skinny 18 year old.. He's don ok today

Taylor hasn't seemingly been involved

Brown with a shot just wide

[frogmiller]

Camp with a string of saves to keep us 1 up

[PerigordMiller]

Need at least 1 more

[frogmiller]

We need this win. It's sounding a bit like the Brentfor game. If we win many games using 'hope they have a off day up front' system Stubbs will be onto something special

[thaimillerfan]

huddersfield winning leeds

[frogmiller]

Kelly defended well there and the cross that came in after was headed wide

[frogmiller]

YES

Halfords shot was deflected into the net

[PerigordMiller]

Own goal !!

2-0



announcer says Halford

[frogmiller]

YES

Halfords shot was deflected into the net

You need another beer Glynn XD

[frogmiller]

They are still having the lions share of the ball!

[PerigordMiller]

He used to be shyte,
but now he's alright,
walkin in a Halford wonderland ......

[frogmiller]

Kelly with another block challenge to stop a goal scoring chance then we attack an Halford gets in their box but he couldn't manufacture anything

[CTMilller]

Wonderful stuff! Just need to maintain some composure now with Bristol looking for blood.

[Edinburghmiller]

He used to be shyte,
but now he's alright,
walkin in a Halford wonderland ......

Like!!!!!!

[frogmiller]

They are making 3 changes!

we must hold out for the next 5 mins

they're going 3 big uns at the back

[thaimillerfan]

as long as the little- uns at the front are stopped

[frogmiller]

Ward with a run but he can't get clear and the ball is cleared

[PerigordMiller]

Frog what was that website showing positions ?

[thaimillerfan]

Weds 2-1 now

[frogmiller]

We're defending stoutly!

[thaimillerfan]

Rotherham are 16th

[PerigordMiller]

Ward fires over

[frogmiller]

Frog what was that website showing positions ?

I've forgotten! Can't find it pal.

[PerigordMiller]

[frogmiller]

Has Newell been replaced by Vaulks?

[PerigordMiller]

Has Newell been replaced by Vaulks?

Yes was getting tired

[CAMiller]

Neh mind. Just the BBC site is crap at the mo.

BBC Live Scores page for Championship shows latest table. In fact the table updates are always quicker than the scores because you see the teams move around and then the scores update about a minute later.

[frogmiller]

Still twenty minutes left in this match!

Another ont break will do the job!

Camp saves again

[PerigordMiller]

Campo !

[frogmiller]

We're still working for each other!

Keep em out

[PerigordMiller]

t*ss

[frogmiller]

It was coming!

It's come!

Camp has been booked for time wasting!

2 - 1

[CTMilller]

Is Taylor actually playing? Seems not to be featuring. Hopefully a cue for him to score a wonder goal after a mazey dribble!

[frogmiller]

We need to sneak a couple more defenders on and another keeper if we could

[frogmiller]

We do seem to have players who are capable of hiding from the commentator

[frogmiller]

This could be a late one as the ball girls have been withdrawn

[frogmiller]

Another counter for us!

Looking for the killer ball instead of holding it up the field to releave some pressure on the defence

[frogmiller]

Izzy Brown injured.

[frogmiller]

Izzy Brown injured.

Thye're saying cramp. It's the pace of the game comms are saying! He's a willing runner

[PerigordMiller]

Allan replacing

[frogmiller]

Scott Allan replaces Izzy Brown!

Hope we don't over load the midfield

[PerigordMiller]

2-2

[frogmiller]

It was just coming again

We can't have so little of the ball and not struggle to keep them out!

[PerigordMiller]

Smallwood scores for Scunny

[frogmiller]

Smallwood scores for Sc unthorpe

[CTMilller]

It was just coming again

Agreed - but we should be able to defend a two goal lead. Poor

[thaimillerfan]

2 -2why change the team round need attackers not midfield

[frogmiller]

Camp is earning his coin again!

This is scary! How easy is it to attack us?

[PerigordMiller]

jeez we're going to lose this

[thaimillerfan]

I agree peri

[frogmiller]

We're lucky again!

How are they able to find their team mates without a challenge?

[frogmiller]

It sounds like we should cheer this point!

They hit the post!

[PerigordMiller]

they hit post

[PerigordMiller]

they've had 32 shots so far !

[frogmiller]

5 minutes added

It wouldn't be bad if they had had to go for it for 10 minutes but it's been near on a hour we've been under the cosh and holding on

[frogmiller]

Can we gat a last effort for us

The shouts of challenge him came from the crowd

[thaimillerfan]

yes but now we hold on for 1 point instead of 3

[PerigordMiller]

Fry close from a corner

[frogmiller]

Is Forde on? When did he come on?

Corner us Fry with the header just wide.

[frogmiller]

Blow your whistle ref please!!!

[frogmiller]

It'll be another hollow point at the NYS

Boos ringing out! Sad!

[PerigordMiller]

Some boos as it finishes 2-2




Just what I need, some booze ;D

[PerigordMiller]

The last game I went to was similar stats but then we lost 5-1 to Bournemouth in the cup. At least we got a draw today but such an imbalance at home is not a good sign. We need to change something but I'll leave that up to the experts. My suggestion would be to play with 15 men XD

Fact is we are a Championship club in name only otherwise we would not even finish in the top half of league 1 , we are hanging on at home in every match and getting battered away from home , only one thing going to happen ... League 1 next season , bargain basement signings leads to one thing basement League soon !! We are a Joke in this League , absolutely rubbish and that's putting it on the positive side :mad:

Half time sub for Taylor, Forde made an real impression on the game lol.
