Are things really so bad?

Lot to look forward to in August, cheap season tickets, cheap away prices, re*****ised squad, more wins...the future's bright

People get Mardy when their team starts losing and lash out at easy targets. Chairman, training ground etc. Things that nobody notices when your side is winning. Our time in this division is always limited, due to the size of our club. We have avoided the drop for two seasons, this time our luck has run out.
I, for one, don't mind which league we play in, as long as we are competitive, which we clearly aren't in this division. No problem with folk sounding off on here, don't take it to the ground.

My sentiments exactly.

Looking forward to seeing a team sheet without the likes of Wilson, Blackstock, JFC, Allen, Fry on it. Brown can go back, if we can get somebody better than Adeyemi he can go back as well.

Hope we're not left with all the dead wood. 4 months of the season to go we need something to give us hope for next August.

Happy some are happy to be in L1. Not for me, Championship has it all. 3rd division footy has nowt. I'll be there at Wembley again though 😜

This.
It took a lot of effort and a degree of luck to get to where we are and we've let it slip through our fingers far too easily.

There is a big difference this time though because we are in better hands than when we went down before.

At least we'll have a chance of bouncing back within 1 / 2 seasons but, as before, we need a lot of good fortune along the way. Not just luck in the games we play but choosing the right manager and him choosing the right players.

Sheffield United thought they would bounce straight back.
6 years later it looks like the might make it.
There is nothing good about dropping down to League 1 and getting back up won't be as straightforward as some seem to think.

I do get the frustration and i do watch the highlights and full games on Millers Player and from what i can see since Warne took over the effort has shown marked improvements. Still some silly errors to be cut out but i think some wise additions will change that to a large extent if the new player recruitment guy and software the club has bought can identify players that meet Warne's requirements and we are able to get some quality and pace in within our budget.

I think Wane has done a reasonable job considering what he has had to work with. Lets see what happens after he picks up a few new faces over the next couple of weeks. 3 or 4 decent players might make quite a difference.

We have only been losing recent matches by the odd goal and the players' confidence is improving so if we can turn those losses into wins or draws and we get a bit of luck along the way then hopefully staying up won't be beyond us. Time will tell.

Just trying to post something positive on here. Negativity and apathy won't get us anywhere. If everyone supports the team and try to give the lads a lift instead of slagging off we might get somewhere. There have been some constructive thoughts and ideas and I think if everyone pulls together maybe we can turn it around.

I just believe that the back office or the back seat of a car isn't quite the same thing , many on here will have paid out hard earned brass and driven hundreds of miles to see their team lose the majority of this season's games , often in bewildering fashion .

I think you should perhaps tune in to their frustrations , chest thumping only lasts so long at the sharp end .

Spot on animal. I travel a fair bit to watch the Millers at home and sometimes away. It is a crap feeling to sit on that train after a loss. Getting used to it though.

Well Kent I may not be a Miller but I've supported my team when we've had similar season's to yourself so I can empathise , we had a similar poster to aussie on our board when we went down the last time , apparently the fans were also responsible for our plight by criticising and not singing loudly enough , it boiled my blood .

Coming away from Oakwell freezing your tyts off after yet another 3-0 thumping with players you know dont give a shyte will test any supporter , many of whom pay blindly in the summer without any guarantees .

Never bite the hand that feeds , the game doesn't have any purpose without loyal fans and they are often taken for idiots .

[kentmillerman]

Too true animal. BTW, great win for your lads today. Good luck mate.

Sorry Aussie, you may be in the sunshine but here in the real world, the football is dull and diabolical, the club is in free fall and we are down under, straight into L1. There is no stopping this I'm afraid. The fat lady has sung and my advice to PW is to scoot asap back to his fitness coach position. There was a point when I felt he thought he might be up for it. He shouldn't allow himself to do this. Nice bloke, Rotherham through and through but no manager. He managed to rally a squad of players full of under achievement where an absolute total lack of confidence reigns into a unit that fought ............. for a while. If we cannot beat a team like Burton, at home, then we no longer deserve to tread the waters of the Championship. It is Game Over.

^^^what Pete said^^^

prepare for L1 now - we don't look capable of beating an egg at present - Oxford will humiliate us
