    Goes to show the scale of the task facing SC. 0-2 at 70 minutes, and with Notts County winning at Chesterfield, we stand bottom of the table 5 points from "safety". Looks to be a pretty open game with 23 shots/efforts so far (14 Rotherham, 9 for us).

    Think I'll go back out and shovel snow again, 3-4 inches in Chicago so far. No end in sight. Kind of like City's bad run so far.

    Haha spot on! Could be worse, you could be paying for the privilege do shovel your own snow in the freezing cold. Same as paying for the privilege to watch sh!te football.

    Thank god for the 5 pillars though, otherwise we would be really fecked!

    Late hope? Goal from Bobby Reid, 8 mins plus injury time left, City 1-2 down.

    Oh well... <sigh> Next match is away at Notts County, there's a big 6-pointer. Got to hope SC has enough time to assess the squad, do business in January, and get us well away from the bottom 4 by May.

    And it's still bloody snowing.
