Just go with this one - it won't let me delete the one I posted.

Two early set pieces for Rotherham.

Post from Gaz on the Striker thread saying:

"Toyosi Olusanya Just walked in front of the SS."

So that's  that then.

Seem to,have managed quite well down the right without Moly. Nixon is showing form to rival Sterry.

Can we not put maxwell on free kicks? His crossing is pinpoint.

Gibson is very wasteful.

Yes indeed, even down to scoring an important opening goal off his shoulder/back from a cross from the left (Stoke/Tim Ryan anyone, very similar goal)

There's a vibe of class in this side to at least rival our best previous League 1 sides. V impressed with Grant, and all behind him, for creating this group.

To quote Ronnie Moran on BBC Radio Sheffield.

Rotherham are working hard but in the wrong places... There's a gulf in class.

Have only been able to follow the last 20 mins or so - shame we hit the posts twice but it’s a fantastic 3 points without one of our best players..
Title: Re: TLOD V Rovrum

Wasnt great, but did it need to be. 3 points is what matters against this lot

Watching the replay of our goal, it really was a great cross by Maxwell
Title: Re: TLOD V Rovrum
Post by: BobG on August 30, 2025, 02:26:27 pm
Nit picking, but not maximising the result of our skills, organisation and periods of dominance. This will be an absolutely belting squad if and when we can score more.

Yes indeed, even down to scoring an important opening goal off his shoulder/back from a cross from the left (Stoke/Tim Ryan anyone, very similar goal)

Todays goal was definitely off Baileys head Dutch.

Can we not put maxwell on free kicks? His crossing is pinpoint.

Gibson is very wasteful.

Gibson wasnt helped by Ref who could obviously only count to 8

In one case he stopped at 7 so the pressure was on Gibson because Ref paced out 8 and they were small strides

Soon as he looked away the Rotherham duo turned their backs to signal to their keeper ( yeah right ) and then turned back even nearer to Gibson

So he was little further than 7 yards from The Wall and put too much on his cross. He did it more than once in the game

He didn't think to alert the Ref who seemed keen to make sure our Corners were in the quadrant and they hardly matter but couldn't count to 10 and can be crucial to the attacking team
Title: Re: TLOD V Rovrum
Post by: Usher wide. on August 30, 2025, 04:44:34 pm
Thought the ref was poor throughout.

I was hoping for better officialdom in this division. Silly me.
