    It's a no from me. We didn't have the players with enough fitness, heart or skill to survive in this league however we played. The refereeing didn't help either.

    Good summary CAM, I think the fitness was a big factor even at the start of the season MT said the players were suffering from fatigue, he never got them fit in pre-season, something that PW was excellent at. I think we had some skilful players but we lacked pace in the top third and the wide players are too slow to cross a ball, when we played well the wide players were getting the crosses in. Poor recruitment, the gamble didn't work and a club our size cannot get recruitment wrong, however if you do then you get a promotion!!!. In the recruitment I am also referring to the shambles of replacing MT. I still think there is a leadership issue at Rotherham, whether it is due to TS being too autocratic or just incompetence, I think we have seen that with certain contracts and infrastructure and we are seeing it again with employees not doing their job, letting their colleagues down, the fans and the owners. So many factors against us and to be honest most of them are self-inflected, finances are a huge factor the refereeing doesn't help but physician heel thyself
