Agree but point being with Travis in there we didn’t look as open early season. He probably does the generally unnoticed stuff (basic positioning and reading the situation) better than ST and AW

We werent as consistently wide open early season as we have been since the Sheff Wednesday game at the start of December. It’s wierd that Tronstad and Wharton do seem to individually be performing better than the rest, but in many games (Wednesday, Leeds, Watford 2nd half, Huddersfield) we’ve just been up against wave after wave of attacks.

I'm going to fully embrace digital day. I'll watch it at home on my iPad.

Doesn't really matter. Even Chaddy now knows a one-footed Pears is better than Leo.

We went in the Blues Bar straight after the Preston game at 2.30pm. They rang ‘last orders’ and turned the TV’s off at 3.30pm. It was still busy.

Szmodics was knackered for that last 20 minutes. In the minutes before the equaliser he couldn’t close down and lost the ball a couple of times. We talk about tiredness and fatigue. He should have been taken off. How we end up looking completely leggy at the end (as against Preston and Watford) and yet Garrett and Travis don’t get on is baffling.

Hence my first line.

Sigurdsson offers a bit of a goal threat, which is a good job because he looks a bit of a nothing footballer. No pace. No trickery. No great vision. No work rate. Shame because when he signed he looked a bit of a coup on paper.

And didn’t cost them £800k

Against a side with a smaller budget than ours, no category A academy and 7 senior players missing.

I'll tell you the difference. Pears can go a couple of games being ok and then throw in stinker. It's practically every game with Leo. He's just so bad.

2-1 Sammy

Waggot will be happy with a draw. Keep Rotherham at arms length in the table.

Scouts?

Not really. If I hadn’t posted it, it was still a fact.

Here is Foster 'through on goal', if you completely ignore that defender in front of him .

No, but it’s a bit odd he didn’t start last night with Wharton benched.

As @JHRoversays, West Brom are skint and need the sale of the club to go through to prevent possible administration . They’ve borrowed well over £20 million in the last 12 months just to keep running

Not disagreeing but add the cost of running the academy onto our budget, and then do likewise with with the rest of the clubs. See where that puts us. That’s why we over-perform in this league in relation to our ‘budget’.

Kicked his foot. Penalty. And Foster wasn’t through on goal. He was behind the guy chasing him. And Berge was as stupid as Hyam was last night. Come on Forest.

It really doesn’t. It’s a very calm and rational post.

Luton at Turf Moor next game. Huge.
