Yes we were turned over today but there are mitigating circumstances.Young team still getting used to the intensity of the Championship, a team that is still gelling, a team that is without Twine who was supposed to be our main goal threat and without Jayrod and Brownhill.Add to that the fact Sheffield had an extra days rest and home advantage then the result was half expected.
Yes it hurts but I tgink we are in a very healthy position compaired to what we all expected.A result against Rovers would be a great tonic before the World Cup break.Then another massive game against QPR after the break.After that we will know how we stand.
You are right, CIB.

There were some on here suggesting that we would struggle to stay in the Championship this season. An amazing performance overall.

In the post match interview VK suggested some tiredness with the short turn around for this match.

Should he have played some of the other squad players who are not really getting a look in? Fresher legs and minds?
