Bramall MOTM put a proper shift in. Ollie also excelent. Eaves, much maligned, did well when hecame on. Held the ball up and played a simple pass to the overlapping wide player. Nearly got us in a few times.
Play etter against the better sides maybe because we can play football? There wasn't much of that on show today.
Their comms were very complimentary to Bramall, Humphrys, Ollie and Hall. They said we had got some decent players.
To be fair to Ogbene they hardly mentioned him until the latter stages..............then he hits the bar with the last kick of the game.....would putting Fosu in have been a better option? I've watched it twice and still don't know.
Got to say it, Eaves had a better game than Ogbene today, Chieo " Went Missing in Action ".
Ogbene should have been subbed, maybe after 60mins, giving Washington a run & going for 3pts.
Stats show how bad the game was -
Blackpool ---------------- Rotherham
... 45% ..... Possession ..... 55%
... 10 .......... Shots .......... 10
... 03 ........ On Target ...... 02
... 04 ......... Corners ......... 0
... 07 ........... Fouls .......... 13
Not much to add. One to forget and move on.
Seems the general consensus on here as indicated by the tumbleweed blowing through this thread. It's always much more active when we lose! MM would have to shut down if we went on a long winning streak XDQuote:

4 games unbeaten, only 1 goal conceded, not really relegation form.
Some more wins would be nice 👍.
We would have lost that game the last time we were in the championship.
Ogbene hasn’t upped his game at all. When we were playing terribly he was terrible. Other players have improved he hasn’t I’m trying not to say it’s a lack of effort but it’s the only logical reason.
It could be a valuable point and also the goal difference has not taken a hit. 3 massive games coming up if we can get 2 wins that would be a good return.
Keep the faith.
Here's another logical reason re Benny -Quote:

Who would they replace Benny with right side in a 3 across the front - he would have to change the formation.
At least we've moved on from Tom Eaves being the scapegoat - (for now)
Agree with your last sentence - a valuable point and the goal difference didn't take a hit.
It was a dreadful game of football but a very good point.
Bramhall has given Taylor something to think about. I imagine Taylor told him to go a grab his chance and he responded.
Coventry is very neat and tidy but a midfield trio of Rathbone, Oddofin and Coventry has plenty of positives and hard work but not enough creativity.
Could Quina be that missing bit of flair.
Some time on the bench may be in order for Chieo to give him a reality check. Can’t carry passengers when we are in a relegation battle.
Quick mention for Peltier who has played really well recently.
