At least with Clarke and Lascelles you feel every corner we might score. Last season we just never ever looked likely.
Gouff realise he wasnt gonna score at the other end today, so he tries for an own goal. Christ this is nervy.
This has gotten Villa written all over it ..Not sure why Rafa likes his 1-0's, my heart certainly doesn't
Lets not forget about 3/4 of them did play a very tough game on Wednesday night. Can't expect the same effort today.
Only cloud on an otherwise good day is Mackems getting another point. They're on course for a 12 points season.
I'll take these 1-0 wins all season if we can get them. We're a championship side who have just won away again to another championship side. Good result!
Aside from the last 5 minutes I thought it was comfortable enough tbh. It was a more assured performance than against Villa for example. Their keeper made an excellent save from Atsu, Diame was unlucky with a deflection and Shelvey and Clark nearly scored too. Not as if we didn't try and get a second. On another day one of those goes in and we're all commending seeing out the game well.
An encouraging element today was that both Diame and Colback had decent games. I know it was only Rotherham, but Colback looked a lot more like the player we saw when he first arrived. Some really nice touches from Diame too, and very unlucky to be on the wrong end of a brilliant defensive block.
With Villa losing 2-0 to Preston, it's hard not to feel sorry for their fans........ Who am I kidding?????
