One word - EMBARRASSING!

[poddington]

I don’t tend to post on football related threads these days, but I’ll make an exception for what it’s worth.
Previously, I was happy to give Taylor the benefit of the doubt - he was new, had a good track record (albeit at a lower level) and talked a reasonable game. I now fear he is completely out of his depth here and although we have picked up 9 points this season, we have been generally lucky to do so.
I do not recognise or have any ‘connection’ with this team, if that makes sense, and having been a Miller for many years it pains me to say this. Grealish, Lee, Towner, Goodwin, Talbot, Swailes, Frecklington, Arnason amongst many others - players you could get behind who grafted for the club. I see nobody in the whole team, never mind the starting 11 who fills me with any of that. We went down a similar road with Alan Stubbs and that was halted relatively quickly, but the damage had been done and took a long time to rectify.
I think this will take even longer.

That my friend is exactly how I feel. With the exception of Viking and possibly Rathbone there is no link between the manager and players and the supporters. I'm not sure it's lack of effort although today was terrible, it's more that most of our players can't trap a ball and play a short pass. Long ball after long ball even from Viking's hands. Lord knows how we fix it as a club because the quality we need we can't afford by a million miles. We'll remain a yoyo club unfortunately and enjoy the ride when times are better.

I feel the same,its a very good point and not one that,to be honest,I've considered too much. If you look back to Evan's time we had Morgan,Pringle,Revel,Arnasson,Frecks,Smallwood etc..In other words.....an identity.Now Wiles has gone if you take away Victor and Rathbone,all we are left with is a bunch of loans,short term deals,creaking gates and a few others!

We looked a lot more threatening in the last 15 minutes when Kelly was on - although when he burst through and Wedmesday's last man dragged him down, the ref gave the Wols a free kick....

Neutral view is that Wednesday wanted it more , in that first half where you lost the game Wednesday worked harder , had more energy , none of which actually costs any money .

You also let Bannan run the show , never got in his face and he will pass that ball in to good areas all day long if you don't close him down and rattle him .

I can't believe for one minute Rotherham just thought they could turn up today and pick up three points even factoring Wednesday's dismal start to the season .

That just not Rotherham .

Bad day at the office for Rotherham but I'm sure you can play and work harder than that .

One of the worst games of football I’ve ever seen Rotherham play, since he arrived Matt Taylor has taken Rotherham backwards and he is now on the verge of sending us down to league one. If we want to save our season we need to get rid of him and get in a proven championship manager, maybe Neil Warnock Is the man to manage us until the end of the season and then Rotherham can appoint a permanent manager from there.

Despite various urban myths around older players, poor training regime/pitch, style of play etc. I'd say it's simply bad luck.

Why is it a 'myth' that we signed players with terrible injury records?

It fact mate. It's science. The stats were screaming 'these players are crocked ' before we signed them. Got nothing to do with bad luck

My assessment of the game. In the second half we were slightly less sh*t than the first half, where we were awful. No passion, no fight, no desire, no quality, poor team selection (start with what turned the Coventry game around, why go back to what has failed so many times?) no tactics, there was nothing positive about the first half. The only positives for the second half, they didn't score again and our £1.2m player actually got on the pitch, that is how bad it was. I want to hear MT's interview, I think he needs to be honest and say that was awaful, he made mistakes and the players were not at it, NO EXCUSES. If TS pulls the plug now, I don't think MT can complain, I still think I would let it run a little longer, see how we do against QPR and Watford away, but then if there is no improvement it will be an easy decision. The problem is, people in the club, the players and everyone will know MTs time is nearly up unless there is a significant improvement, so the longer you drag it out the worse it can be for everyone. I think they will give him the QPR game at least, lose that and it will be all over for him.
