Rovrum vs Bristol City

[JJH]

The sole game which decides whether SERNWA will be on here for the next few weeks being a prat, or whether he'll flounce for an extended period of time; especially after the last drubbing they received last time out from Barnsley. Strangely, he's not been on here since.

As for the game.... play like we did in the first half against Villa and it'll be a drubbing for us, play like we do in the second half against Villa and we should have more than enough to beat them by several goals. Johnson spoke last night about the time he's given the players off over the last week or so, so it wouldn't surprise me if it took a while for the players to get up to speed.

O'Donnell
Moore, Flint, Magnusson, Bryan;
Brownhill, O'Neil;
Paterson, Reid, Tomlin;
Abraham.​

That's what I'd like LJ to go with, but I think he'll have Little and Golbourne at full back, Reid and O'Neil central, Bryan wide left, Tomlin in the number 10 role and Freeman wide right.

1-1. Late Abraham equaliser.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Brownhill?

 

[JJH]

Yeah, I'd like to see him given a go in the middle now we've settled on a formation. In the first two games he was being asked to change position every five minutes.

 

[BCFC David]

Never beat Rotherham. That being said, we are a different team this season.

Although there home form is what they will rely on, I think we can win this. They do seem to concede goals for fun.
The clown will be unbearable if we lose.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

That's fair enough, but it still has to be Pack for me.

 

[Reaper]

Our home form hasn't been too bad so far its away from home where we've been terrible so hopefully the home performances continue this Saturday.

Theres been talk that we might play with 3 centre backs in a 343 formation with wing backs but i reckon we'll use that in away matches so i reckon we'll line up like this with Blackstock to come off bench later in game.

Camp
Fisher, Ball, Wilson, Mattock
Adeyemi, Newell
Forde, Frecklington, Brown
Ward

JFC been no good for you?

 

[Reaper]

JFC been no good for you?

Looks a bit uninterested to me so far wether he's not settled up north atm i don't but he hasn't really stood out in any of the games at all, you can see he has a good eye for a pass though but he needs to get more involved in the game, hopefully he settles down soon because i know theres a decent player in there somewhere.

 

[hodge]

I'd go with

O'Donnell
Little Flint Hordur Bryan
Reid O'Neil
O'Dowda Tomlin Paterson
Abraham​

Until Ekstrand signs Moore is our only CB cover, don't want him knackered incase something happens to one of the others, shouldn't be too long before Matthews is back and if Little is having a shocker Moore could be brought on. Tomlin needs to stay central imo and this pushes Reid back into the centre until Smith is match ready.

 

[BCFC David]

Swap O'Dowda and Paterson and that's the team I'd have. Pack running Reid close. Probably to come in against Wednesday.

 

[hodge]

Thought Paterson was a left winger...?

 

[BCFC David]

Nope right, however I'm sure he could fill in if needed.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

This is just the sort of game where we get a harsh reality check! Think a draw would be a decent result.

 

[TTOCS]

0-3 easy peasy.

Reid, Camp, Wilbraham.

 

[JJH]

Brownhill and Engvall not even in the squad today.

 

[JJH]

 

[JJH]

2-0 Flint OG, absolute fucking mare.

 

[Ciderhead]

Take a point I guess from 2 down, but how in the name of absolute fuck did we not win that

 

[TTOCS]

Comedy game 76% possession and 33 shots.

Reid forgot his shooting boots and Freeman doesnt have any. No coincidence the game changed when the latter was hooked.

 

[JonBCFC]

Well atleast we didn't lose. Still, sounds like a long season ahead for Rotherham. More clinical teams would have put 6 past them today.

 

[JJH]

Fucking travesty that we didn't win that. Two points dropped.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

34 shots on target??? Jesus. Battered them by all accounts.

 

[Ciderhead]

34 shots on target??? Jesus. Battered them by all accounts.

34 in total, 10 of them on target. Which tells its own story really

 

[Redcityman]

A point away from home is always good, im most would of taken it before hand.

Stats wise I dont know who's more embarrassed, us for having 76% possession and 34 shots on goal and not converting it to a win or Rotherham for being so dominated at home, by a team who has not one player who would be deemed good enough to play for them!

 

[TTOCS]

Why such a low crowd? 8K is awful for a team apparently no smaller than us.

 

[JJH]

Anyone go today to say how good Paterson was when he come on?

 

[Reaper]

Doesn't help with shite away followings

 

[Reaper]

Stubbs wont be here long if today happens to go by for the rest of the season, score first goal and just sit back for rest of the game, no thanks. If he went and bought a proper goal scorer like he should have done then he cant blame Ward for costing us the game by missing a easy chance at 2-0, piss poor manager.
