Rotherham Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[WhiteRose]

Crap game that, spent far too much time knocking the ball around aimlessly. Feels like a loss, now left looking at results elsewhere.

[Pullhard]

Rotherham temporary manager must be happy

[JoeDenver]

Well that was a $h!tshow. No sense of urgency and we got what we deserved. Summerville equally MOTM. I’d be looking at Gnonto over James next match if James is going to look that tired as Willy looked to have a spring in his step. 18 shots and only one goal is crazy.

[Prisoner37]

Death, taxes and Bamford's first touch.

[Cjay]

Could be back to double figures behind top 2 by Monday

Yep you could tell who had been on International duty.

Rutter has an injury, James was puffed and Ampadu still looked angry after Wales screwed up.

Much better team but no luck and Rotherham better than a number of teams we've played .. Subs didn't make any sense to me. Gnonto was the pick, he was excellent. Paddy poor again, finishing the game with 4 wingers was bizarre ... Dodgy decision to disallow Anthony's goal.

Looked onside to me, plus a penalty shout on James.

[1964white]

Why do our subs have no impact on the end result?

That’s still better than -17 which is where we could have been a few matches a go.

Regroup and go again on the next 5 wins in a row.

Struijk will be back. Prob byram too.

Completely agree, Leon!

[The Subhuman]

I'm beginning to think Paddy is done.. Joseph needs to be promoted...

I do think this is Farke's blind spot..

I hate VAR but I'm pretty sure we would have got a penalty for that foul on James

Agreed.

Our December fixtures will tell us a lot.

Really hard run.

It's why you can't not win these.

Would like to know why we are so inconsistent from half to half.

It's what separates us from Ipswich and Leicester.

They find a way

[The Subhuman]

Why do our subs have no impact on the end result?

Well Gnonto did, good shot, beat players and nice pass across the face for Anthony's "goal"

But we had 2 left and 2 right wingers on at the end. Assumed Gray would move inside but he didn't..

All should would could though.

Rotherham would have had a man sent off with VAR.

but we only have ourselves to blame for this.

We had chance after chance and got sloppy

[SG90]

I do think this is Farke's blind spot..

I agree, time for Joseph to get a chance. Same with Cooper and Cresswell too.

Completely agree, Leon!

Bamford looked active, ( joke in there somewhere) in real time and I can see why the ass ref raises the flag.

Shitty outcome though.

[1964white]

A game we should have won by 4-5 goals.

If we took our chances, we'd be winning the majority of our matches easily.

We lose our rhythm & allow teams back in the game.
