Take 3 points from a mediocre performance. Great finish from Wright, decent contribution from Eccles, and great to see Sheaf back - quality shines.

I would be tempted, partly due to the yellows, to take off Kelly and Palmer HT and replace with Van Ewijk and O'Hare (Eccles moving to midfield).

Can't play much worse than that but much more intensity after the goal. Torp looks lost.

I remember last season or one before Hamer crediting Lawrence for at least one set piece goal. Seems a calm, steady personality.

Then it should be done in private

I am sure they do but not in public view

Really embarrassing and unprofessional. Small margins impact games.

I take your point but I don't mark players performances differently if we are up against a top team compared with an average team so likewise against a poor team.

Have you not heard of triangles - you go back to go forward. His role is to break up play, close down space and play it off so that we can build again. As a team we too often force passes and lose possession.

In a two Tavares is a threat. He has pace and is a finisher. He lacks strength on the ball but he is a great option from the bench if played in the right position. Works well with Godden too.

Liam Kelly is such a top pro. 5-0 up, 90 minutes gone and he's still on his toes, showing for the ball and organising others.

Palmer's work rate and fitness has been questioned by some in the past. However since he has returned from injury he has been the standout player in this regard.

Rotherham are truly dreadful. However, Simms has shown he can be clinical and place the ball. Palmer and Eccles have been brilliant. Eccles has such variation compared with Van Ewijk. Kitching and Bidwell combination is so strong. Latibeudiere winning all the headers and orchestrating. Kelly is...

Like that line up. Would prefer it if not a back 3 though. However, he can always change it if needed.

I have been impressed whenever I have seen Rathbone play. Type of box to box player that would be useful in our squad. If he is declared fit after his concussion, they will be a stronger team for it. Even so, we should be more than good enough to win comfortably.

You think Wright is 'a polished complete footballer'? Are you being sarcastic there?

I know this probably sounds bizarre (and maybe it is), but the first name on the team sheet for me, given the lack of fight shown in the last two league matches is Liam Kelly. Second would be Palmer. I would bring Bidwell and Collins back in for Dasilva and Wilson. If we play a back 3, I would...

Binks is still only 22 which is nothing for a centre back. Needless fouls is easy enough to cut out; physicality will come with age. What I like about him, which is where he is better than Kitching, is his comfort on the ball. Kitching sometimes can have a clumsy touch, which on occasions has...
