Powell make Sky L1 team of the week

[millersrus]

Undoubtedly the best of a poor batch of Evans signings but nowhere near Barlaser's quality. Would love to see them playing together with an industrious holding midfielder sat behind them. Barlaser has said (allegedly) he wouldn't be against a return but would Tony pay the wages ?

Not quite at barlaser level yet , but barlaser wasn’t at barlaser level at end of first season.
Deffo the best of Evan’s signings tho.
The industrious midfield and best we’ve had for a long time somehow not getting a mention.
Rathbone.
Frecklington was pretty good too.

Some right tripe - average league one player. Nothing more

I’ll bite. You are entitled to your opinion but in all honesty how can he be average when he has finished top of the league table for chances created!

I like Powell but WTF is chances created? They are not even assists (which I would get rid of counting as well)

If he passed the ball to Wilkes and Wilkes skins a defender then blazes over is that a chance created? Surely Wilkes created himself by beating the defender? Or the player that made a run off the ball creating the space created the chance? or Hammy's tactic's created the chance? Or poor defending created the chance?

Or maybe it is none of these things or maybe a mix of them all.#

Meaningless stat - Does he get a certificate?

[pipppy]

The only stats that count are that the wins and draws are considerably more than the loses

Best footballer we have had at Rotherham for a very long time, his all round game is first rate, he lacks a few goals but at l1 level he is excellent. Barlasser was excellent but at the start his goal contribution wasn't great and he wasn't as good at the tracking back and defensive duties. I hope we can keep him and extend is contract.

I 100% agree with you Derby. UTM

If someone said he was the fittest player we've had for a long time I would agree. I don't think he's the best footballer though. Quite a few ahead of him in the skill charts. But I am a fan. He's been an excellent signing and a more than adequate replacement for Rathbone.

Powell was the best signing of last Summer. By he way we had signed about 7 players already this time last year and everyone,including me,was buzzing! That worked out well!
