Bailey deserves some praise for that goal. Might not be a word often linked with Bailey, but that jump, hang and precision on the header was sublime.

Vaguely similar to his goal against Wrexham in the ten in a row. Same end as well.
-
The cross deserves a mention too from Maxwell

I thought Maxwell and Nixon were both very good today.

I dare say the only moment of real quality in the game ,matched by the finish
-
Seems crossing is a dying art. Other than the goal I don't recall many other decent crosses. They had one where it just needed someone to tap in. I've often been critical of Nixon going forward but he was okay today. I do feel like Rotherham were targeting him second half

McGrath played a superb low cross from the left wing late on which just needed a touch to turn it into goal.

Nixon was okay… really?
He was excellent in the absence of Molyneux and Sterry. He did a heap load of work down that right hand side. The Caveman blasted his way through on quite a few occasions.
-
That cross is why Maxwell should always be 1st choice ahead of senior imo.
-
Nixon man of match today by a mile
-
He was at Accrington as well, Dickos.
-
Bailey almost had another at our end too. What a run he's on.
Agreed with Nixon motm, another player who's in really good form.

both full backs played well but O'Riordan was better
-
TLT also did his job well.
-
I actually think it might be one of the best headers I've seen from a Rovers player, I say that without exaggeration. The jump was phenomenal.

Joint 2nd in the League 1 goal scoring table as it stands!
-
Basically playing the lampard roll and doing it well.

That’s another thread in its own right..!

Got a decent run on a static defender and leapt like a salmon, hung there as well, great goal
-
Slowed the video down this morning and it’s an unbelievable jump. It’s actually a clever header too.
Nice to see Reece James getting plenty of stick from the Rotherham fans too. It was a complete mismatch in challenging for that header.

it was a great header but Hayter away at Watford for me
-
The timing of his runs into the box are exceptional

I didn’t realise James was playing for them Mush !
-
Or Hayter at Wembley? Unmarked, yes. But a fair way out and used his brains to both be there and place it. Mind you, although I can't think of one right now, Brendan surely must have half a dozen entries?!

Hugh Dowd vs Exeter, 1981, from inside the D at the Rosso end..
-
Yeah, combination of visualisation of where the ball may arrive and positioning of opposing players within that area. He’s a very intelligent footballer, just imagine how it would be if he was a little bit taller, but unbelievable how many headers he does win in all areas of the pitch.

I agree they was both at it yesterday I do think we miss the link up between sterry and molyneux
