Re: Even earlier Rotherham Match Thread.

For what it's worth here's my two Penneth worth:

I think there are lots of reasons for our current run of bad form, but unfortunately I think it's primarily down to the management.

Team selection: I don't think the current management know what is there best team or even the best system to use. To gamble on bringing in untried (and by the looks of it nowhere near ready) players like Clark, Dixon & Carver is ridiculous.
Substitutions: Leam generally only seems to make changes when they are forced upon him or the game is gone, and then some of the actual substitutions defy belief.
Tactics: Since Beattie has arrived we seem to hump it towards him at every opportunity, but unfortunately he doesn't win many headers these days (however I do think he looks dangerous in the box so worth persevering with)

I think Leam should had brought in an experienced number 2 instead of Paul Stephenson because they're both inexperienced and seem to panic when things are going wrong rather than being the steadying influence they need to be. Incidentally this current bad run started around the time the new assistant and Beattie arrived and we started playing like Wimbledon 1986

My team for Chesterfield:
A Keeper
Linfield Winnard Murphy Liddle
Bocco Miller Joyce Molyneux
Gray
Beattie

Subs: Dawber Chippendale Podge Eckersly Hatfield Barnett Dixon


On a positive note all bad runs come to an end and wouldn't it be perfect if it ended on Tuesday against he who shall not be named
