I know that our issues are deeper and if TS doesn't stop believing his own ego we will be back here next year. I do not see anything in MH that makes me believe he is capable in this league or the next league down. Very worrying times
    Derbs, how can you say he'd be a failure in League 2 without the evidence, or are you using RU66's all seeing eye? There are 20+ players that can be rid of come the close season, Hugill being your favourite. Should we be in League 2 next season, he/we start afresh. This has been a complete baptism of fire for him this season as well you know. This isn't a b.ollockng by the way pal

    I clearly recall a fitness coach once being asked to take over a car crash of a side and to try his best to keep us in the Championship. Alas due to his 'new' role and naivety as a Manager, his team set ups and use of his then squad, he failed and we left the Championship.

    After a close season break and the good riddance of many under performing wage stealing crap players, the same ex coach/new Manager tried a different approach with his newly acquired team and as they say, the rest became history. Doesn't Matt Hamshaw deserve a crack at it like Paul Warne was given or, shall we all just cry off and sack yet another Manager?

    Big question out there for those who have worked in Management/Team Leader roles. In your job when you first set out, were you instantly perfect?

    Did you make mistakes along the way and have to re adjust your style and deliverance in order to amend your failure to deliver what was expected or again, were you that perfect?

    I am fully behind Matt Hamshaw. He has ideas, plans and truly wants to succeed to bring back stability and maybe the glory times again to us Millers. This requires time, patience and a strong cash injection for this to happen.

    His arrival at the club last season saw us stay up. A slight euphoria settled in and he was accepted as 'one of our own'. This season has seen probably our worst ever injury list from a group of players, some of them his buys and mostly those that he inherited. Are we all so blind to the fact of this damning situation but we don't acknowledge this has been our main cause for failure so far this season or, is the be all and end all WE ARE MASSIVE AND WE SHOULD BE PUSHING FOR PROMOTION? Sack him, sack him, sack him.

    If he is sacked, those on that side of the bed will say told you so. The others like myself will also feel he wasn't given a good run/chance at it. Football does that to folk, we all have opinons. Whichever way it rolls, it won't stop me following my team my Rotherham United.

    Brin great questions, I don't have insider knowledge or anything except judgement based on what I see and read. I don't see a man that learns, 3 at the back has created issues all season and I think he is either stubborn or arrogant and won't see it. I have said before we have two reasonable L1 full backs he plays them out of position, we have decent CBs and he has two decent CBs in the young players as well, no excuse to not play the players in that formation in positions they know, that is a man that isn't going to succeed in my opinion. There are lots of other things as well, but that is a good example.

    Brin - i hope you have sobered up since you wrote this. There was a time and place for supporting MH and you stuck by him. After 7 dreadful defeats and a team that look like they are doomed its time to open your eyes and have a reality check. He shouldnt be allowed to manage the club for a second longer never mind have a go in division 2.

    And as for comparing this to the Warne situation - its chalk and cheese. That was the Championside on a pitiful budget with dejected and toxic players. This is division one with a more than competitive budget.

    Sobered up? Have some respect pal.

    I fully stick by what I've posted, you have your views and I have mine. Being human we all have different views on everything, some we might agree on and others not. Football will always be an emotive subject.

    Enjoy the rest of your day.
