    I've been agreeing with this sentiment since the Cardiff game - You're looking for a fight that just isn't there with me RP.
    Saturday couldn't have been as bad as the shocker I witnessed at Nottingham - at lease we got 3 points.
    As for bedrooms - I am probably better off staying there - I am sure I could find something to do there on my lonesome to take my mind off the football.........

    Then that it is Mr Johnsons fault.

    Why the ultra cautious no risk approach that isolated Tammy Abraham from kick off?

    What was the hidden (less than a goal a game) menace Rotherham possessed for the players to keep that shape consistently sacrificing opportunity in the last third for sixty minutes?

    Mr Johnson chose that team, shape and tactics. He chose to play that way.

    LJ's tactics have been frankly bemusing. God only knows what is going through his mind when he arranges his team.

    Sometimes, when a team loses, I can still understand what we have been trying to do, despite it failing I can see why it might have worked. With the current setup however I just can't get my head around any of it - especially not playing 2 up front. It's ridiculous.

    I agree setting up with one up front against a strong side, particularly away, but the bottom club at home?- I would have hoped we would have been more adventurous than that. At least he made the subs early enough, but could have started that way instead

    As said in the Derby team post,I would start with Djuric, and Taylor, on Saturday they deserve it, after Saturday's showing.

    And if he had left Tomlin and Abraham out of the starting line up fans would have been booing before the game had even started.
    Could you have imagined the reaction though if he had started Tomlin and Abraham on the bench? Especially after the way Tomlin played on Tuesday

    Yes, I would have started Tomlin to be fair,but maybe gone 3 at the back and not playing Little. Using a 3-5-2 effectively.
