Another sarky member. Arguing for the sake of it. Let me put you straight.

1. He is saying they can’t do it, not that there is anything wrong with doing it nor would any of us disagree. He is stating why they can’t.

2. Never supported hamshaw playing 3 at the back. My view was, inc WB, we don’t have the players for it….example, jules! energetic defender, not really.

However, the great games and performances we had, albeit isolated with 3 at the back, even recently, plymouth, away at exeter means 3 at the back isn’t a given naughty.

You can?t help yourself Chris can you?
You are doing exactly the same as you did last time. Argue with everyone then play the victim.
We see you Chris you have replaced going on about Stubbs with Hamshaw and god forbid anyone doesn?t agree with you.
Called guru an utter moron and now having a go at another poster.
We see you Chris let it go you have been rumbled.

A closet Evans, always suspected. Had he have been retained we would have gone down for sure. Hamshaw to the rescue.

Work that one out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when Evans left last season weren't we in a position of relative safety. Hamshaw he's reversed that this season. Before season started I questioned some of his signings. Martha, Benson & Yearwood for 3.

Who does on here? All armchair managers like me.

Ahem!

For your information Nige, I managed teams in France and Belgium for a number of years.

I know what he said, I've played it 3 times. Have you forgotten your original point?

You just called LC out for asking the players to do something that they can't do. I assume you mean simple things like run hard and play with a degree of intensity. That's the minimum expectation any manager would have. If he's asked them to do it and they can't, that's not on the new manager, that's on the players and the previous manager.

Well that's wrong for a start.

We played with a back 4 against Plymouth for 85 minutes and then your pal MH inexplicably changed shape when he swapped Martha for Agbaire. Against Exeter, we started with a back 4. We switched to a 5 because Gore injured his shoulder on 40 minutes and was replaced by Adegboyega

Remember now?

Lee Clarke, you offer nothing.

Exactly. Apart from cheap talk and experimentation we have had little change, those without injuries have still shown little, people talk about hamshaw, but the barnsley display was far worse. A manager seems to be the least of the problems

Here's a change. We had 66% possession against Barnsley. That's the highest we've had in ANY game this season, including cup games.

We were still rubbish. We've been rubbish all season with some notably poor performances. But what for you sets aside the Barnsley game as being FAR worse than anything under Hamshaw?

Sounds suspiciously like sour grapes to me.

We were in a position of relative safety, certainly compared to the same time this season... we were just in a state where things were clearly in need of a change. The assignment was different for SE - he was tasked with getting us up quickly, MH was a longer term plan. Both failed.

I reckon our season is done, dusted, finished, at an end, over and so should we now be crying over spilt milk?
I reckon TS and Co owe it to the Rotherham supporters and hold a fans' forum and lay out the club's plans for the future. No point in rolling out the players on Thursday to watch them train etc. That was just a sop and RUFC knows it. TS and Co have been avoiding the supporters for quite some time. Is there something that's being hidden?
Come on, TS and Co show some respect!

Spud, that will never happen! It cruising/holiday time in 19 days for TS and who knows, even PD may not be here next season to hold one.

Clark's assessment of the game was spot on,however, I'm not sure it will encourage any more effort from the players, maybe the opposite.
He's obviously a bit more "old school " when it comes to his attitude, will that still work these days...who knows.
Anyway I'm sure the jobs his if he wants it, very difficult pre season ahead.

Morning TLC. Thing is though IF he's given the job and task of making things happen again, he will probably have the biggest clean slate to start with any Manager has had in years at ours. Then he can show us what he wants and will deliver, in order to makes us smile again.
