Rotherham (H) Build Up

[Tony Towner]

Because either they are seeing the size of the club, the cup run and the games in hand rather than what is actually happening on the pitch or we are a bunch of lily livered pant wetters. I prefer the former

One thing I don't want to see when we win by two goals today (which is surely the minimum requirement) is any "turned the corner," "the lads were brilliant" or "we can kick on from here" bollocks. As DW rightly says, Rotherham are the worst team at this level since about 1910 so before Tim II gives Danny Batth 9/10 he needs to remember who were are playing.

Can't understand how we're around 7/1 to go down - feels way more likely than that.

Was 8/1 last weekend,good job I put money on at 15/1

The team I expect we will see today

--------------------Ikeme

Iorfa-----Wiliiamson---Hause--------Doherty

---------------Price------Saiss

Costa------------Edwards-----------Marshall

-----------------Bodvarsson


We absolutely must get 3 points today. I don't want any excuses or bad luck stories from Lambert come 5pm. I want 3 points, nothing else will do.

 

[Freddeno]

UTW, get on the front foot right off the start of the game and take advantage of the home crowd..I hope Lambert is up for that

Clash of the titans! The worst home side in the league against the worst away side in football 2017. Something has to give. I think that we are so overdue a home win against a shit team today might just be the day and a 3 0 home win will help restore some calm. Bod might even score against these!

Mainly because anything other than a home win and there will be meltdowns!

No Cyber, we'll lose to an Anthony Forde goal...at least it's not a Tuesday though!

Oh fuck! I forgot he played for them! I just got over Berra not scoring, even though he's a defender! Forde to score but us to win 3 1 then! Trying so hard to stay positive!

If Lambert picks the same crap for the Ipswich game then I may explode, whatever the formation please no Edwards or Saville. If Cav can do 60 mins start him, otherwise I can see a 0-0 snooze fest sponsored by Kenny Jackett.

I don't know, I've not seen it. I find "retard" offensive though.

Thank you, I didn't get the reference and I'm not prudish, I just don't like the type of analogy that mocks the disabled, but I get that if it's a film quote that wasn't your intention.....all good. Personally, I probably am a minute from being fucking annoyed.

Ikeme, Coady, Williamson, Hause, Saville, Price, Saiss, Costa, Edwards, Marshall, Weimann

 

[Norman Deeley]

Weimann up top!!

 

[Siggy]

Take Edwards out for Bright or Cav and it's not too bad. Fullbacks obviously not great, we have to keep the ball on the deck with that side!

Well, £2m of the summer transfer budget is going on Andi Weimann

 

[rather sceptical wolf]

I'm leaning towards a 3-0 win today. Dicko to open the scoring, one each from Edwards and whoever's playing of Marshall and Weimann. Not expecting us to play them off the park but their away stats a pretty dire and you'd expect them to be low on confidence. An early goal for us and they will either cave in or be too adventurous in search for an equaliser.

My semi-realistic preferred line up:

----------Ikeme
Iorfa - Willo - Hause - Doc
-----Edwards - Saiss
Marshall - Bright - Costa
-----------Dicko

Edwards would provide some mobility and bite to a midfield that I fear would be a little too static with Price or Evans alongside Saiss, with Bright still unexperienced and not likely to pull his weight defensively. I'm thinking a big reason why PL plays Dave as number 10 is because he doesn't believe our other midfielders are cut out for his pressing game.
