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

Rotherham have only named 6 subs. No Rathbone either who has played every game for them this season and scored against us last season

 

Amen

 

Not so much moaning about lack of a striker on the pitch but more about what is the point them being here.
For the record I think Jobe will do a great job. Still though...he's doing the job ahead of 4 others and he's the youngest of the lot of them.

 

Time will tell if its poor recruitment or not

 

Jobe is the youngest of them and, importantly, probably the strongest.

 

I want rusyn to get a run of games as i think he would be class but happy if jobe is playing as a cf

I get more annoyed when none come off the bench when we are chasing games

 

Plus he doesnt need to settlr into a new country

 

Hopefully the reverse of that tonight. We are winning comfortably and can afford to throw 1 or 2 on.

I like your thinking!

 

Feels like a better team with Jobe up front. Aouchiche in behind is a good option too. Just hope we are at it from the off

 

I reckon I could replace 5 of our starting Xl with subs without even batting an eyelid. Bench is strong as f*ck.

Down Sedgefield for the night little getaway for me and the mrs so won’t be up to date with the score I’ll be checking here for updates! She didn’t realise the “squealers suite” was furnished like a swingers place apparently

 

You sure you didn't check into the Vermont by mistake?

 

As long as other people are scoring then what does it matter? Gelhardt scored 2 goals in 20 games - it's not much to actually replace

 

If Rotherham are going to be sitting back tonight, I think it'll be down to Adil, Neil and Ekwah to make something to happen. I can see them doubling up on both Clarke and Roberts

 

I’d get rid of 2 and bring one in. I’d keep Mayenda and Rusyn. Send Burstow back and loan Hemir to league 2/national league. League one is above him now but I don’t think that lad will ever be a success in England as long as I’ve got a hole in my arse.

 

I am desperate to see Rigg play personally. Just hoping Beale is taking to learn, sure that is the case. He has to make the bench at least.

 

I'd have a place on the bench at least virtually guaranteed for Rigg then pick 8 others. If Robson keeps flying I'd have him on the bench as well and pick 7 others. If senior players miss out it's tough ****.
