    It was not who was brought off i was moaning about, it was who was brought on and the fact that we went ti 5 at the back, which just invites pressure and hoppers, what diff does it make whether you watch the game live or on tv?

    Come on Spanish mate, I hear what you are saying but one sliced clearance aside and it would've been fine. We were under the cosh but handled it well considering, it's not a tactic I'd like to see all the time though.

    Know nothing about yesterdays game but for me there is always a need for an 'out' We kept dropping back further and further against Rotherham until it basically got to the stage of not leaving our own half as there was no sod forward enough to pick up the clearances. Attack is a decent form of defence and it helps to relieve the pressure. The opposition are never likely to score from their own corner flag!

    " I don't think taking McGoldrick off was the wrong decision just not beefing up the midfield which looked to be the area we were lacking so should've brought on a midfielder instead of a CB IMO as that certainly invited more pressure on us "

    Completely agree, shoulda put a midfielder on and kept the ball higher up. It was always going to keep coming back to us as we couldn't close down their defenders so they started attack after attack.

    Spanish do I really have to explain the difference?

    Ok just for you, when you watch the game on tv the camera follows the ball whereas being at the match you can watch players who are not on the ball etc etc, Didsy had a mare on Sunday, his ball retention, work rate, closing down, making runs etc all those aspects of his game were not good enough, that is the difference.
