Match Day Thread Rotherham United FC v Sunderland AFC – Friday 29th December 2023 - KO 19:45

[WorkyTicketFTM]

It’s been 3 days and I want to stick pins in my eyes again.

Mowbray loses to Huddersfield, Millwall, Plymouth and Stoke with the same Xl pretty much every game and its fine.

Beale draws with a Rotherham team that have taken points off Leeds, Boro and Ipswich in their last 5 home games and it’s the end of the world.

We’re away, it’s windy as f*ck, pissing down with rain, playing against a team who are happy to sit back all game.

 

[WorkyTicketFTM]

They all take his minutes. Simply as that.

Prichard is better than them both. He is aging and not french therefore , managers are getting told not to play him. If Mowbray last stand didn't tell you that, nowt will.

Roberts takes minutes from others but he’s not French so he escapes the dressing down

 

[Smug in Boots]

Not the performance or result any of us were hoping for, an away draw usually ok after being behind but not so much today.
Have to hope that Beale is a quick learner and knows what didn't work. Pembele sounded like one of the few positives.

This is always a weird time for results tbh.

Preston lost at home to Sheff Wed who had ten men at the end.

Ipswich drew at home to a QPR side who've had more shots.

The bottom three all did well tonight.

 

[Mackem74]

Horrendous performance, poor result.

If Beale just packed it in tonight, this team would be no worse off.

Piss off. He's had 3 games and less than 2 weeks give it a rest with your constant bullshit and negativity

 

[Scout73]

He looks more effective when he's coming on when the opposition are sitting back with a lead.

Why did he square it to their defender when he's in the box on his favoured foot?

Nobody other than JC and Patto can hold their heads up tonight.

I would add neil into that as well, carried our midfield again

Patto motm

Mate. We have been very poor in 2 of them.

Don't let reality hit you on the pillow.

Speakman out. Poor tactics from him tonight.

 

[SnakeEyes]

That was so disappointing. We look slow with no creativity. Also no impact from Beale what so ever so far. Same players, same tactics and same ****e results. I've been fully behind the owners so far, but they need to question why our season is stuttering with only half of it gone.

 

[Chunksafc]

Thought 09 and ballard had good games.against hard working forwards. Hume was a bit quiet

Did you watch the game. Patto was MOTM

We have, but it's way too early to judge. How many days on the training pitch has he had?

3 underwhelming performances like but people need to be patient

He is our midfield at the minute. Lad must be shattered

Why. It's the same as what we have. If a head coach isn't impactful then there is no point.

Should have kept Dodds if this is what we are offering. My opinion and I'll say it. Think it's a poor appointment and a regressing situation.

 

[The Exile II]

11 days in charge. It's far too early to expect significant changes imo. He's still trying out players and trying to get a feel for them.

You'd hope that he'd at least have gotten something across though. One or two basic changes we could see on the pitch.

 

[Daz]

Piss off. He's had 3 games and less than 2 weeks give it a rest with your constant bullshit and negativity

To be fair there’s not been much positivity in the 3 games he has been in charge. I’ve certainly not seen any improvements on the pitch so far and no fresh ideas.

I don’t think Beale has given up but I’m very unimpressed so far.

 

[Montysoptician]

I'll just have Neil and Mowbray comments and the actually fact Prichard doesn't start as evidence. You can do what you want.

What were Neil and Mowbray's comments about not being allowed to start Pritchard ahead of young players?

 

[Chunksafc]

Why. It's the same as what we have. If a head coach isn't impactful then there is no point.

Not that you will read this but Dodds didn't want the job

 

[Prehab26]

For the Prichard thing too.

Anyone who checks my twitter just see the first like to my post on it and youl get there eventually. .

Patto motm

I thought he did alright.

I would prefer him to be wearing the captain's armband over O9. I think it might bring more out of him and the team.
