I know Macca, he just seems to have dropped off the radar :(

Just needs some confidence the lad.

Feel sorry for BKG (Big Kurt Guthrie). Will be a half decent player but doubt well give him that second season he needs. If only his wrongly disallowed goal on opening day had been allowed, or his screamer against Plymouth hadn't rattled the woodwork, he would have been flying. But as it stands he's so short on confidence its unreal.

Is the stage set for a Guthrie overhead kick in the last minute to snatch a win for the men in white? ;)

Re: Rotherham United Match Thread.............
 

Leam has averaged 1.5 points a game. Quite a hard act to follow if you ask me ;)

I can honestly say Don valley is the worst ground in the league in terms of weather/atmosphere/playing surface and viewing.
I have never enjoyed going there,and last night didnt dissappoint.
Its like watching a cross between a reserve match and training and will be glad I dont have to go again !!!.
Onto the match,we set up 4-3-3 and them 4-4-2,they had the wind in the first half and us in the second.
The way they play,ie two banks of four,and two up top really set the tone of the game.there fullbacks never tried to get forward and our front three were just ineffective with no space to operate in,indeed there centre backs were very good (mullins got m o m ).
A total of 6 shots on target between both teams tells its own story,but to be honest I cant even recall 6!!!.
For long periods of the game we controlled the tempo of the game with some neat football,but as soon as we attempted to get in the final third we surrendered possession.
I think Bav had one save to make,but there was a blatant foul in the build up to that.
On the positive side,the balti pies were nice!!, but its credit to acci that teams are now being set up to stop us playing.
No real stand out performances,although i thought Toto/joycy and murph did ok,dont forget these lads stopped Southend playing/scoring at there place ,so it was going to be difficult,if they decided to keep it tight (which they did),and our younger lads will learn from it
