    These are bottom of the league for **** sake, has to change it at half time as we could and probably should be behind.

    It has been an a horrendous watch so far in my opinion. And yes of course we can change it up after the break. Never used the word embarrassing though ?

    Going to be interesting to see if Beale has the tactical imagination to do anything different second half or if we just keep with the “hope something happens if we keep the ball long enough” tactic

    So far it’s the worst £10 I’ve spent in a long while

    Worst quality I have seen from us and Jobe is a very lucky boy.

    A horrendous watch for me is 2-0 down at home against Coventry after 67 mins mate (embarrassing was used earlier but not by your good self though)

    Beale will get criticism for the tactics but the players have been very poor as well. They can’t be immune. Way too casual

    Worst game I’ve seen Jobe play for us. He has to come off for Rusyn with that booking now. Ekwah has been terrible. Worst defence in the league and we don’t even test it <doh>

    I'd take Jobe off for Rusyn, give the lad a rest and protect him from a second yellow!

    Would take Seelt off for Pembele and Jobe off for Rusyn. Ref will send Jobe off for the next dodgy tackle.

    So were Boro ...

    ... Rotherham set out to make the game scrappy and it's worked so far.

    Just put West Brom vs Leeds on and the difference in speed of the match is insane

    We played far better against Coventry than we are playing tonight simple as that . Thus is easily one of the worst performances of the season.

    Why is Jobe playing as the 10 when he is not creative and is clearly better as a target man?

    Why is Aouchiche playing as the striker when he is a very creative player and clearly better as a 10?

    Why are we still not playing a forward?

    Why wasn't Rusyn brought on when they are leaving space in behind and our tactic is clearly to put the ball in behind but don't have anyone to run onto it?

    Why are we moving the ball so painfully slowly?

    Why is Seelt being asked to play as an attacking full back when he can't handle the ball well enough?

    Why is Hume not getting forward?

    Why, when Rotherham have conceded over 20 shots in each of their previous 3 games, are we going into halftime with 2 shots and 0 shots on target?
