Match Day Thread Rotherham United FC v Sunderland AFC – Friday 29th December 2023 - KO 19:45

[Essayyeffcee]

No urgency in our play whatsoever

 

[Teessidemackem]

It’s so so dull tho isn’t it.

Yep

 

[clockstander]

Jobe booked

 

[Sour Patch]

Painful to watch this. Too slow, first thought is sideways or backwards, no focal point, no pressing out of possession, no creativity, no shots.

 

[Lozza80]

This has been horrendous so far, so boring.

You can see them winning via a set piece .

 

[Scout73]

Have we dropped Jobe back into a 3 with Neil and Ekwah? With Ekwah the one to get forward more?

It looks it, we need rusyn on ti stretch the game for us as we are just encouraging rotherham to step up n press us

Been really poor so far

 

[Forpadydeplasterer]

We are definitely witnessing a side who haven’t had time to work on what they need to in between games

I didn't want Beale but he's supposed to be a 1st class coach. Xmas wasn't the best time for him to come in but hopefully it should improve when he gets them on the training pitch

 

[clockstander]

Another set piece to defend and they go very close again

 

[Dorset]

Jobe is dropping way too deep, trying to get into the game.

Ekwah was the furthest forward in that passage of play

 

[Nacho]

The ref is being a dick, nowt for Cllarke who's being pulled back every time

If refs did their job properly with fouls on Clarke there'd be a red most games. Easier for them just to pretend it's not happening.

 

[Southern A]

Can’t tell if Jobe is deep because he’s bored or because he’s swapped with AA.

 

[TeamOfTalents]

Rotherham looking more threatening

 

[The Exile II]

Sounds very much like us. No urgency all game, get mugged sooner or later with a set piece.

 

[TonyG]

This has been horrendous so far, so boring.

You can see them winning via a set piece .

“Horrendous”, “embarrassing” are a bit strong mind. “Dull” definitely so far. We can pick it up a bit in the second half I think

 

[Southern A]

There’s no way we score other than from a set piece or Clarke

 

[clockstander]

we need get to HT at 0-0 and re - jig the team

 

[young2077]

The creation of chances went down hill a few weeks ago and most weeks we look like we won't score and the opposition grows in confidence as they realise there is little threat going forward!

 

[Sour Patch]

Need a right back on who can handle the ball in attacking positions. Seelt is good defensively but is definitely a centre back.

 

[Prehab26]

Worst half of the season for quality.

Pure dogshit.

Patterson absolutely great and incredible saves. Rest of them need to a blasting. Not one of them good enough. Should be 3-0 down.

Bringing Ba on was a poor move too. AA as a striker. What's the point ?

 

[Mackem-Tiz]

Just to remind you folk...we are playing Rotherham.
