Burton post match

[Lolmorgan]

Everyone giving MH stick (rightlyso) but what about the players??

Start at the back:-

Dawson - surely he can see his long punts forward achieve absolutely nothing at all, we are about the only team in this that still have the keeper 100% of the time just hammer the ball forward. The guy has a brain and experience, he could occasionally do something different.

Baptiste - been one of our better players, but had an absolute shocker last night. To be fair, he started on the right of a three, moved to the left of the 3 then played in a 4 - lad might just need a bit of consistency

Jules - I might be in the minority on this one, but Ragget (if/when fit) is loads better. More assured and makes less mistakes. Jules was ok last night but has a big mistake in him every day.

Douglas - our best CB - can see why he was rushed back - but why not have Emanuel or Lenny on the bench as cover?

Cover - totally ineffective as WB & then centre mid. Kind of didnt push high up as WB and was not deep enough to be a FB. Probably benefit in a back 4.

James - not a wing back, yet we keep doing this to him? why? think his performance showed he doesnt believe anymore

Yearwood - did well to "play" the 45 minutes he did - is this lad colour blind?

McWilliams - clearly has incriminating evidence against MH for something. How is he getting picked week in week out? Strolls around and does absolutely nothing

Spence - makes bade decisions, tries too much - kind of sympathise when he has Yearwood & McW alongside - basically has to be a one man midfield

Nombe - no service for Sam = no goals

Gray - see Nombe

Kaleta - looked a threat, at least tried to go forward - asked to play many positions - gets injured

Rafferty - crap at centre back (was targeted by the big number 9 for the goal) - went to RB and looked decent - funny that isnt it?

Duncan - was on the pitch 15 minutes and created more than the rest for other 75 minutes

MH tactics and sheer bloody mindedness to play 5-3-2 is killing us, but the players are also contributing.

When we have a midfield deviod of Gore, Powell & Benson - we know we are in trouble.

Nombe a few times could have passed to somebody in a better position than shooting.Gray a young lad & still learning but hes got to man up in this Lge goes to ground too easy.Only one glimmer of hope Whatmore looks fit & played a nice little cameo.

So at this point it looks like he?s not getting the sack.
This tells you about the ambition and how low we have sunk as a club.
Happy to accept relegation and failure from top to bottom.
The supporters don?t matter at all.
We are in crisis mode.

just listened to the phone in on radio Sheffield, you can tell they filter the calls to support their position. Abusing players or any personal attack of someone at the game i don't agree with. however expressing your opinions on the quality as a team or what we witness under the manager is not abuse. What got me most by the fans that called in is how open they are to accept such awful football and relegation as if it isn't an issue and it isn't MH fault, nothing to see here etc. I am amazed by that acceptance of failure, but that is people for you.

The presenter, talks rubbish saying that MH is having to make do with other managers players and the best performing players for Rotherham this season are ones Hamshaw recruited, what planet do these people live on. What they focus on is the level of abuse sang at individual players and use that to mask the league position and the football we have to watch and always clinging onto a belief that it will change the next game and then we will be alright.

Did MH remind everyone before the kick off who was going in June? Because it certainly looked like it the way most of them played.

Just goes to show that they forget that they're in the shop window. Would they play like that just to get MH the sack, stranger things have before....

After Dawson got boo'd for kicking it long, we started to play it out, where's that tactic gone now Matt? Now we dont have a big 'un to aim for, we still use the long ball...... We can't play any worse om Sat or it will turn toxic.....or can we?

If you don't want to watch an excuse for football currently being played, there is a straightforward answer. 'Stop going to the matches'.
That's difficult for some supporters. They've already paid for their season tickets. I paid for mine but stopped going months ago. I'm not prepared to sit in the cold and rain being miserable before, during and after a match. Did I say match? When I said 'match' I meant defeat. Sticking plasters will not improve our position. Read into that what you will.
I'm not even going to criticize the team or management. One day we'll bounce back but something has to change. IYKYN.

UTM!!!

I agree I won’t be going Saturday. I travel all over the country. If MH remains in charge I won’t be back
As somebody pointed out the other week.
The great MH lie is in operation.
Journalists supporters on here and social media are happy to keep backing a man who shouldn’t be anywhere near the club.
Will spend my Saturday with the grandchildren.
The ones who have continually told us were wrong about MH are strangely quiet.

[Stansmate]

We’ve had other managers sacked by TS with better team performances and results than MH. Hes obviously in a different place these days. If gates falling by thousands, playing the worst football for years, more than likely relegation, cheesed off fans soon to be showing real anger at games.

Hes lost interest !

In the words of the song - There was only one Paul Warne and how we’ve missed him !

Wigan have just won 1-0, not great. but great fighting spirit, that's something we are not willing to try.............that's 3 points behind another rival......utm

Burton Albion manager Gary Bowyer said
Result of the Season for Burton, after beating
the Millers.

[Derbymiller]

Wigan changed their manager to try and stay up, they took action.i still think it is interesting that around the end of our 9 game unbeaten run when we sat about 15th or 16th the bookies suddenly had us down for relegation why was that, what did they find out that we didn't know?

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

In hindsight, perhaps the club should
have kept Leam Richardson has manager,
not sacked him to bring in Steve Evans,
now we have Matt Hamshaw, not a proven
manager.
Richardson now manager at Reading, doing
a good job.
The club treated Richardson harshly in
sacking him, which I have taken note it did
not go down well with some people.
Perhaps with managers who turn the club
down, have seen that the club is not run
correctly, & keep a wide berth of wanting
to work for Tony Stewart.

Perhaps a lot of money went on the Millers to go down, but wonder who put money on it.

[millers88]

Well if we were gonna sack him it would have been done today so it looks like he's gonna be in charge for Donny game on Saturday and my god it will get extremely toxic on Saturday if we lose to them trust me we need to turn the **** up on Saturday and put in a performance or the season is done.

[MillerBill]

A Leeds fan I know,couldn't understand why we have not sacked Hamshaw after such a long run of poor results.He told me that a number of higher league clubs than us,wanted Gray but our club won him over.We were told by our club,that it was because of Hamshaw he came to us,I wonder.Likewise,Biancheri coming to us,when Cardiff made every effort to get him back to Wales.This highly regarded Man U.talent together with the very impressive Dan Gore have decided to come here.The Leeds fan said you must be paying the asking price to get them over the line, which makes it all the more disappointing,that the management team are unable to pick the right formation to get the results we need with such available talent.

Don't look into who was getting substituted early in games around the time our odds plummeted or you might have fuel for a conspiracy theory.
