I cant remember a start like that..we seemed to have 20 players on the pitch..a team possessed..what was williams on? all over the pitch and makes fantastic runs on goal..
I bet kempo's chewing his tongue..
Good post, I watched the highlights last night and was reminded just how good a game Proctor had. Easy to overlook when his strike partner bags a hat trick. Great stuff.
I'm unsure why there are a few suggestions that Williams won't last? He looks a very good player to me and he put in a real shift yesterday. Is the suggestion that he won't last based on prior knowledge, insider knowledge, or merely a very early stab at a future "I told you so" moment so a scapegoat must be picked?
dave take a look at who said williams wont last. its not a few posters its one
Our high energy / high pressing game is a good model for league one....and that's the league we're in so ..... bring it on.
And the initial season in the championship ( if we achieve this ) the high energy game will bring some success - as it did Barnsley - but a season on - without a substantial budget - relegation is a high probability.
Confidence will grow - team ethic will grow and I wonder if the success ( if we get it ) will mirror the Barnsley model of finding players wanting BETTER for themselves and working their cotton socks off to attain their own personal goals and that of Rotherham United.
Sounds great and that's the Barnsley model. BUT......
Strange but true but perhaps Barnsley are now following the Rotherham United model !
Heckingbottom hasn't been backed enough for the championship. So perhaps the Barnsley board has taken account of the TS meagre budget and concluded ( as TS did ) if relegation comes - then so be it !
So - if Barnsley are following our championship model and we are following Barnsley's league one model - then we can look forward to a period of South Yorkshire YO-YO teams swapping leagues for a few years.
Just a thought.
The difference between this year and last year is preparation and fitness. Yes you can blame Stewart for not giving Stubbs not enough time and you can blame Stubbs for not bringing right players in due to a unprofessional ego or paul warne for not bringing fitness up to stretch last year but that's gone and the difference this year to last is like night and day. Bring on posh
My prediction 2-2
The "S" word means a ban - just saying !
Fitness is a given in the championship - the tactics are everything for the "underdog"
"Unprofessional ego" ?
The difference between this year and last year is......THE LEAGUE WE ARE IN !
REF: Previous post....I will follow Barnsley's record this year as they will suffer as we did - with a less than adiquate budget.
Although they don't have the anchor of having old - old fashioned players that take up 60% of the wage budget.
Note WOOD too slow even for this league yet played throughout last seasons Warne management debacle. Says a lot !
So wrinkly - that just makes him wrong then doesn't it!
One thing is for sure that following Monty's outbursts and calling for banning orders - the RGS certainly didn't make "Gentlemen".
Or are you one and the same.....friends are like working hand tools.....it's the one you make yourself that work best...lol
Opinions eh.....
