First and foremost, its okay and healthy to criticise when its justified.
I just don’t get the current black and white, its all column A or column B way of thinking
I don’t get the bile and anger expressed on social media , with many, many people calling for the heads of the management team because we have a bad performance.
The Coventry game was the ONLY time this season the performance was unacceptable. A game we needed to win, or at least get a point from, or at the very least have a bloody good reason why we didn’t. But we were second best and it hurt.
But it was the only time. Every other time we have gone out and battled against teams with the financial resources to find the best, matured talent across the globe and given the a game - and taken points from most.
Today we were out outstanding, but for me it shows how important confidence is to this team. When we have it we get our tails up. We play, we press , we dominate.
Which leads me on to our main point. Given that we cant go to the games , I think those of us with a disposition based in reality need to get behind the lads. The keyboard warriors that expect instant t success, and insult and undermine everything weve achieved in the last few years, may be entitled to their opinion but it needs to be countered with a bit of reality
Unlike most teams these days, this team represents Rotherham. Not China or Portugal, or the US or the Emirates, but Rotherham. Its funded by local enterprise , not just the owner but the sponsors and the supporters. And we take the rest of them on. We work harder, think harder and try harder
And today we battered a team from the top six of the fourth biggest league in the world.
Get In. We should all be proud. And perhaps the people who should learn the most from it aren’t just the management teams but the so called supported who cannot wait to vent their spleen and undermine everything we have achieved in the last few years.
Im happy – and a bit pissed. Just as you should be on a Saturday night!
