    My problem with bringing Burstow (or any striker) on, is that I don’t think not having a striker is our problem. We aren’t playing in a way that creates chances.

    We must be stuck with Burstow for the season its only explanation for this substitution.

    It should at least stretch the game for us tho and that should open up space in cm for us

    Personally would love to see a shot on target against the worst team in the league.

    Prichard is a must for this team man. He’s the only one clever enough in that position to make things happen. I’m not watching. (Luckily I guess) but it stands out a mile that we need that sort of player!!

    I think perhaps they see Rusyn as a left winger and the reason he’s never getting on is because he’s Clarke’s deputy and Clarke never comes off

    Why. He doesn't run in behind. His touch is garbage and is weak as a summer breeze.

    Get Prichard on. Only one who knows what he is doing from a central position. Rest are not up to scratch. Sick of watching it to be honest.

    If Clarke doesn't score a world class goal. It's over. Ever game.

    But only if we play the ball over the top for Burstow to run onto. Rotherham are playing a high line and we're content with playing it between ourselves

    I’m going to go and say this is the worst we have played since Lee Johnson was manager. Nothing was this bad under Neil or Mowbray in either division.

    Could be playing every week. The experienced and clever head. Rotate jobe and ekwah with Neil being the other ever present in the middle!

    Worst team in the league and they’ve simply brushed us aside so far.

    God help us if we turn up against the mags like this.

    I said should!! Didnt say he did those things but thats why we bring on a striker

    Rusyn showed in his appearances that he will run beyond a defense

    This performance is really worrying imo
