    Still think we need a proven striker at this level or above to see us at least make an effort for a top ten spot

    Especially seeing Martin will be out for the opening games due to suspension.

    28 minutes gone 0 - 0

    Attendance at todays match 8529 including 586 away fans

    Evans has scored his first league goal for Huddersfield today

    looks like more of the same not carrying much threat up top

    Why has Jed Ward been sent out on loan to a team in the National league, surely he would have learnt more by staying at the club, now we have an untried GK as backup

    HT 0 - 0

    2nd half started

    Hutchinson shot deflected over the bar and a cross caught easily by the their keeper

    52nd minute corner to Northampton cleared by Omochere

    58th minute McCormick replaces Sinclair, Wilson takes the armband and playing as a striker

    Another Rotherham corner cleared

    42nd minute header over the bar. another missed chance for Rotherham

    44th minute Sotiriou yellow carded

    1 minute extra time to be played

    84th minute Nombe and JCH off Osong and Hugill on, Hugill then promptly lands a volley on top of the net

    A couple of minutes plus extra time to be played, can we hold out for a draw or sneak a another late winner

    90th minute Moore yellow carded, the free kick was cleared

    5 minutes of extra time to be played

    93rd minute another free kick conceded by Moore

    FT Rotherham 0 - 0 Rovers

    From the commentary By Daniel Hargraves I couldn't see Rovers getting a win, we seem to lack ideas upfront with player seeming reluctant to shoot or did we just not get close enough to shoot

    the only game in the division without a goal

    Subs

    Senior, Taylor, McCormick, Garrett, Shaw, Sinclair, Sotiriou

    No keeper on the bench again

    Think Daniel Hargraves must be as bored as I am as his latest comment is here comes the rain

    20th minute Rovers first Corner, header by Moore palmed away by the keeper for another corner which Bilongo heads wide

    I don’t have a huge amount of confidence that we can fight our way back into this game.

    64th minute Kyle Wooton scores from a corner Stockport 2 - 0 Rovers

    49th minute Martin off Sotiiriou on

    69th minute Moore, ward, Hutchinson off Garrett, Senior, Taylor on

    76th minute Bilongo off Sinclair on

    78th minute Sinclair fires one over the bar

    We have about 8 minutes plus extra time to score 2 goals without conceding to get a point, guess that's another defeat we are facing

    87th minute Joel Senior injured Rovers down to 10 men

    Yep. That’s what happens when you have an over promoted PE teacher as a manager. Clueless. One goal in three games tells it’s own story.

    5 further minutes to be played, Daniel Hargraves doesn't think we look like getting back into this game

    Garrett collects a yellow card

    FT Stockport 2 - 0 Rovers

    We are in desperate need of a striker who is fit and knows where the net is Omochere is missing good chances, Sotiriou isn't fully fit and Martin isn't fully fit or getting decent service in the box

    Sinclair is appointed captain and promptly dropped to the bench and we are not creating many good chances apart from Thomas who is putting in some good crosses. Onwards and downwards I think and I was accused of being pessimistic on this forum.

    Pessimistic or not it's same old, same old
    Can't see it being any different to last season, hopefully not worse.
