    I think so. It’s done us twice. It’s so many games to win that trophy on top of 46 games.

    It's too many games imo. I haven't looked at the stats in any detail but I'd be very surprised if teams getting promoted from L1 have any sort of decent run in the papa John's, league cup or fa cup. I'd imagine they get blagged out of it pretty early and focus on the league. Maybe their pizza cup run is catching up on Rotherham. (Or maybe they smash us in the final, I've no idea..... Don't listen to me <laugh>)

    ... something seriously wrong at that club.

    Monumental fall from where they were. They should have ran away with it tbh.

    Man for man we are the best squad in the league, but without question Rotherham are more balanced and suited to the division.

    They should have pissed it.

    They have one tactic which has been sussed ...

    ... I can't see them coming back from this tbh.

    I doubt they'll bring a thousand to the SOL.

    Rotherham last 5 games
    Ipswich at home
    Burton away
    Oxford home
    Us away
    Gillingham away

    Doubt if any of these will be easy. But then I don't think any of ours will be either.

    Great game.
    Chelsea should have nicked it
    -but missed their chances.

    No games are easy but Cambridge, Shrewsbury and Morecambe aren't the worst games we could have.

    Beat Rotherham and who knows where we can finish.

    Rotherham along with us have played the best football in this league at times. Unfortunately Rotherham have been way more consistent but looks like their wheels have come off.

    It’s incredible how some teams can just totally collapse overnight in this league.

    There are so many games between sides in the top seven that it's impossible to predict anything.
    I reckon any of the top six could still go up automatically.

    'Special night at Anfield' incoming. Makes me want to puke. I'm watching City hoping that Athletico turn them over.
