    More attacking options are a must. 2 strikers needed and soon. Just pay what needs to be paid. 2 central midfielders with a physical presence and a commanding centre half

    Ha'way KLD get your chequebook out

    Still time in the window to sign what we need. The last two have been annoying but theres 19 left to go.

    Another 45 points? 96 wins us the league.

    As per, it'll be mid to high 80s or really low 90s. Today showed theres still plenty of twists and turns left yet.

    2ppg usually gets you up. So that's 92 points. This season I think there wll be 3 or 4 teams on, or around 2ppg. We may need 96 to get up

    I actually think he’d been decent up until a few weeks ago, now he looks like the Flanagan we signed and didn’t rate.

    Hopefully we have someone lined up.

    I would be amazed if we are coaching to commit so fully at 84 minutes when we are 1-0 up, let alone against 10 men. As a coach myself I would bet big money we arent. Then again I have read endless posts on here saying we try to defend a 1-0 lead when we should be going for the jugular.

    The build up to play to their goal from us
    was woeful. And that is by players we love rather than those we doubt. Today, for me, showed the naivety we have in players. To me it is worst goal I remember recently conceding that cost us and good money says our coaches are absolutely mad, it is something you just dont see. Players and coaches need to take responsibility for what is a horrendous passage of play, noone is excused.

    These last 3 games are rough. I dont know what is coming, but i know we are a team that wins and scores at a level only better than Man City. Wouldnt be surprised if we win 4 on the spin now but I have a feeling the decision to play through covid may be something we regret.

    Loads of time still left...

    Make changes to tactics and players in defence and DM and I agree

    Our next 5 games are all winnable, so my glass is still half full.

    Think we need someone in midfield that will break up play and do the boring dirty stuff to allow out attacking players to flourish.

    Injuries and suspensions aren't helping, bit it's only the middle of January, still a long way to go

    We need Keane back these are soft as **** at the minute, Johnson will go the same way as all these other managers sadly, we need big Sam back on Monday they are tacking the piss out of us. Better get their fingers out or another season pissed away and expect 20,000 next season.

    Of course people are entitled to an opinion ...

    ... I'm just not sure what mine is yet.

    Mine is What it has been since the playoff debacle, Johnson just isn’t the man for our club.
    He’ll cobble together runs of results followed by indifferent ones, it what he’s done his whole career.
    We need someone to come in and shake the place up, give us all a lift.
    Keane would’ve been my choice. He wants to get back in and seemingly isn’t inundated with offers, he’d have a point to prove in my opinion.

    There was fighting in the Rotherham end and, so I've been told, trouble outside after the Plymouth game at Sheff Wed ...

    ... both teams were recently 'nailed on' to go up.

    Whatever happens I'm totally behind Johnson, Flanagan, the groundsman and the whole club.

    I was fuming as I trudged out yesterday but only sticking together is worthwhile, infighting only destroys.

    Haway the Lads!!!
