    To be honest CJS let's hope that Rovers don't become victims to the 'asset stripping' that we see happening elsewhere.

    He's still doing better than Warnock. How many points is it now has Warnock achieved since he has taken over?

    Since Warnock took over....
    Drew 0-0 against Brum - home
    Lost 2-0 against Burnley - away
    Lost 1-0 against Reading - away
    Not easy fixtures!
    Brum only lost 1 in 7 games before facing Rotherham. In great form. Great result here.
    Burnley (away) was always going to be hard. They are in great form. Not who you want to face to try and build momentum under the new manager effect.
    Reading (away) have got great results in previous games, stopped Burnley from scoring and beat a Prem side in the cup coming from behind! Reading are on a high!

    Since LJ took over....
    won 2-1 against Ipswich - home
    won 2-0 against MK Dons - away
    lost 4-0 against Brighton - home
    Easier fixtures!
    Ipswich was struggling for form and you had new manager effect helping you. Good time to play them.
    MK Dons are struggling big time. Great time to play them to build momentum under the new manager effect.
    Brighton was the 1st team LJ faced who is actually in form and they stuffed you. You conceded more last night than what Rotherham has conceded under Warnock :)

    Basically, what I am saying is, you had the better fixtures, which explains things. I also did say previously that Warnock got the tougher job. You have the better team and fixtures! Warnock will still come good :)

    Looking at the next 4 games each, you will be lucky to get 3 points. So will Rotherham who are facing 3 teams who are in the play offs.

    Didnt think the gates open until 90 mins before kick off, well that happens our end anyway. But that picture was apparently taken on the 70th minute after lots of booing ;)

    Got to admit I never leave early, but even I left on 83 minutes. But that was because my brother thought he was hard by not wearing a jacket and was freezing.
    I've always listened to a Brian Clough comment that it only takes a few seconds to score so regardless of the score I always stay till the end.

    I left early once. Away at Walsall. It was so bad, I left at half time.

    As much as I don't like conceding goals, but the thought of missing a cracking goal for or against prevents me leaving early.

    Never let the opposition supporters see me leave early even when it was a performance like we put on against Newport

    Yep, considering we use to get just over 5000, we have gained a lot in a year :)

    But it was a school night so families couldnt go. It was also a full moon so some had other things to do. And BlueBALDee was washing his hair ;)

    Also the lack of away supporters doesnt help. Hell of a trip for a night game mind.

    The Forest and Notts County grounds are next to each other.

    Last week City took 1032 fans to Forest for their championship game.

    Today, there was 1108 gasheads at Notts County in our League 2 game.

    This should be interesting <whistle>
