Aoraha who I’ve never heard of on the bench That team line up shows signs of desperation We are down to the bare bones That’s another miserable Saturday night to look forward to
singlespeed it is not just Aoraha on the bench that amplifies the problems with selection for Ainsworth! Drewe at Left Back and Gubbins as the only defender on the bench speaks volumes. Also, what has happened to Amos? He must be injured because he would have been a far better replacement for Chair than 'Uncs'. btw Aoraha is a 20-yr old, left-footed DM who is at Iraq U23 level. He would be the replacement for Field if, God forbid, anything happened to Sam! I cannot help thinking Gareth is looking up and wondering 'What more can go wrong before it goes right?'!
Absolutely basic stuff, ball into the channel, Kakay nowhere near the ball or his man, cut back and Hugill strikes home because Dickie is just running aimlessly backwards. Dunne was covering the near post, Dickie needed to watch the man. Shambles.
Was an ok start, but we are going to struggle if we defend like that over and over.
HT and still a goal down. What is important to mention is that we are generating goal chances, something we have struggled with before. Ok Kakay and Dickie must do better, but I have been impressed by Drewe! I wonder when Armstrong will replace Albert or Lowe? We need to stop trying to 'out-head' Rotherham, and instead control the ball more
Johansen had an effort from about 8 yards brilliantly saved, and we've had other bits and pieces but we deserve to be behind, Rotherham look far more dangerous when they come forward.
We just have zero confidence defensively and Rotherham know that. Dieng has had to make quite a few saves.
62 gone, Rotherham generally on top, we are creating nothing, we've probably got worse since the break. Martin is anonymous (or useless depending how you view it).
As I type that Dunne swivels and hits one just wide in our best chance of the half
Armstrong and Richards on for Ireogbunam and Adomah.

Kakay awful defending doesn't stop a cross, Dickie panics and drags Hugill to the ground. Definitely a penalty and Hugill waits for Dieng to dive and slots it down the middle.
Even though you knew this was probably coming it doesn't make it any less unbelievable to witness.
Dickie was no better with their third. I was a great supporter of Dickie when he arrived, because despite his lack of pace he looked promising. Sad to say this season he has deteriorated hugely. Dunne and Drewe could not cover for the the mistakes of Kakay and Dickie!
We had 5 minutes after the penalty where they had a panic and dropped deep and we had a bit of pressure but be under no illusion that Rotherham didn't deserve to win. They looked like scoring multiple times.
Down to 20th. Those matches away at Blackpool and Wigan are like cup finals now.
