SouthernSmoggie 4,449 6.2k Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 We're not very good against Rotherham, definitely owe them a beating. Two wins, two draws, and four losses in the last eight is pretty bad considering they're almost always getting relegated or have just been promoted. Save Howson and Clarke for Chelsea. Jones could do with a rest too, might as well play Azaz and Greenwood who can't be involved in the cup.

TeaCider24 13,969 18.6k Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Do any of our overseas based supporters actually have a good win rate for attended matches? 😂 Seems like the lot of you just fly over to watch us lose most of the time, haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We generally target the bigger games to be fair. @Aphex_Boro confidence is shattered so he’s trying to build himself back up by going to Rotherham at home 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLF10 4,928 6.6k Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I think with Birmingham game now postponed and with us having this week spare it will change how we otherwise would have lined up v Roterham. Think Carrick will take a measures risk on playing certain players in both games which he might not have had faced Birmingham too. I can see Howson and Jones possibly being rested. Forss I dont think is ready to start a game but might get longer off the bench than the 9 mins he did v Millwall. Glover Ayling Fry VDB Engel Hackney Barlaser Rogers Azaz Greenwood Crooks * without sounding arrogant, I can see Rogers and Crooks coming off in the hour mark for Jones and Forss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsouth 6,744 36.2k Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 21 hours ago, Norman_Conquest said: The NYS is a compact stadium with a small pitch which makes it easier for the Rotherham players to close down space and this is what happened at their place. At the Riverside, I expect our players to be able to play their flowing football style and find space on the slightly bigger playing surface. An early goal is key in this game which will make them come out and play football and if that happens we will batter them. We are also going into the game with players returning from injury and the addition of Ayling and Azaz. Ayling should give us a better balance at the back and Azaz vision should be be able to pick out that killer pass. Playing these two also allows us to rest players who will be playing against Chelsea. I can see us winning by two clear goals. 😜 I like your style and welcome to the fourm btw! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
