Maybe my use of the word 'sensible' was an inappropriate one to use and if I caused offence, I apologise.

    Matt Hamshaw is in a position that is expected to be challenged by any of our fans, his team tactics, training the works irrespective how others view things that are posted on here. Respect is the key word.

    Going back to the last two games....FA Cup, did he choose the right formation, starting line up, and finally the way he introduced certain subs? Hell no he got that one absobloodylutely wrong! After all the hot air spouting how he wanted to go head on at this and at least get through to the next round, believe me Swindon WERE there for the taking but, his tactics and deliverance on the day were both an insult to those who attended and an embarrasment involving Sherrif. Thanks for blowing that one Matt.

    The Burton game. Team selection completely wrong. Did he not see like I have for the past two games Martha hasn't delivered or been involved in any of them? Why did he leave him on for so long, he had to go off at half time for me.

    Sherrif over Hugill? I mean come on. Jordan has in the past been blasted for his lazy falling down style and may I say, rightly so.
    Of late he appears to be a different player, fully committed, 'winning' headers and with his new Centre Half role disply the other night, he delivered so, why put Sheriff in front of him? Matt, you ballsed it up again.

    Sheriff of late looks like he's clapped a stone on since being out injured which, brings me nicely on to our sickness room.

    Amazing how both Spence and Benson suddenly rose from their sick beds after the Swindon game? Let's throw in Rafferty and Agbaire while were at it shall we. Yes, Hamshaw chose not to use these players in the FA Cup but made them all available for the Burton game. Disrespetful to to us fans? I think so.

    He had all those available on Tuesday night but chose Martha again over Benson to start? I being repetitive but Sherrif over Hugil??

    Hamshaw used a very big 'get out of jail free' card the other night but, had been ballsy enough to use his full might of a team to start the game I truly believe we could have won that and be sat in 9th position not 12th.

    Credit where it's due. We're currently sat 3rd in the last 5 games performance ranking only just behind Mansfield on goal difference.
    Like Ulley posted earlier that's promotion form, fact. What Matt has to realise is to be totally honest to us the paying fan and not lie to us, the FA Cup game was one of deceit. The Burton game, he wasn't true to himself or us on what was an unpleasant night to even turn up.

    All I ask for his honesty from Hamshaw, be brave be bold and not to treat us for fools. Finally a message to the players. Are you all truly injured or, are you being kept under wraps by Hammy and his crew? Now I'd really like to know the answer to that one as by some miracle several of you all appeared to have been doused in holy water come last Tuesday night.
    Fair points Brin 👏🏻👍

    Fantastic mature attitude because you don?t like an opinion. Yeah let?s tell fans to stop coming great business sense
    Pocket,not really sure what you`re on about,you said something about "Genuine" supporters not going just wondered why that would be?
    It`s obvious some don`t like the situation we`re in,the manager,the players,or all of the above,nothing to do with an "Opinion",rather if you don`t like it,find something else to do with your time that will give you more pleasure.

    I thought I'd respond to the promotion form comment. Yes, that may well be the case in terms of points won (and I accept that football is about winning games) but the reality is that we haven't played well. If you're a neutral watching our games against Barnsley, Leyton Orient and Bradford, you're wondering how on earth Rotherham have come out of those games with 7 points. The only recent league game we deserved to win was Northampton. Even Man City U21s should have been out of sight by halftime.

    Results like the Burton game are going to happen regularly because performance levels just aren't there and we rarely dominate teams. It's frustrating to watch and the latest raft of injuries are adding to that frustration. How many more times are we going to see this team limp through games with issues in central defence?

    I'm hoping Benson is fit to start on Saturday and either Agbaire or one of the others to start alongside Douglas in that defence. We'll get beat on Saturday if we use the same line up.

    Just read the latest tweet from Paul Davis:

    "Rotherham will be without Jules (hamstring) and Baptiste (hamstring tendon) for at least a month"

    You couldn't make this **** up.

    The whole club needs a kick up the @rse. The feeling, the atmosphere it’s dead. It’s our centenary year, no razzmatazz, nothing.It’s flat.

    If ASD lighting staff kept phoning in sick I can bet T/S would want to know why & do something about it.

    Not sure about Agbaire after the Bradford game. Duncan looks older than his years I'd favour him for the Lincoln game.

    Dawson

    Rafferty Douglas Duncan

    Benson Gore Spence Powell James

    Hugill Nombe

    For me. It was a good example of a mid table league one game under the lights in the rain.

    4 goals.
    2 goal fight back.
    Patched up defence
    ****e ref
    Player mistakes on both sides leading to goals.
    Injury time equaliser.
    Young player full league debut scoring.
    Finding out Ian Sharp played for Rotherham at Millmoor, DV and NYS
    Went above Donny
    Dan Gore leaving everything on the pitch again despite being kicked all game.


    What?s not to enjoy? This is Rotherham United.

    Liverpool v Real Madrid was on at home on your dodgy stick if you wanted to watch superstar millionaires in your pyjamas.

    Looking forward to seeing the lads go out and give their all against Lincoln tomorrow.
    This is the most I have enjoyed watching Rotherham play since Paul Warne left.

    This ^^.

    Also the sense of intrigue around how low the 50/50 prize will go as the fair-weatherers stay at home... will it ever be lower than the 40 quid Droppingwell voucher? Probably not, but it adds a bit of comedy to half time seeing the two get closer.

    Agree with a lot of this but why the dig about if watching another game at home. It is getting like an echo chamber on here only positive comments welcome. The default if you don’t like it stay at home is just stupid.
