Mason clark scored again too tonight

Eccles is having a better game at RWB than I've seen MVE have for a long time just saying...

Have to agree

 

[stupot07]

Perfect hatrick by Simms

And Bidwell direct involvement in 3 of the goals.

What a truly bizarre half of football. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team as poor as Rotherham.

 

[stupot07]

Brilliant control from Eccles too but should have shot earlier

And should have shot across the keeper.

I know Robins would get criticised for it and crucified if there was an injury but I’d leave Simms, Wright and Palmer on.
A great chance for them to build understanding and confidence.

I have…

Us against Preston the other week.

Anyone else think Torp has been quiet today, not his usual self? Palmer has played well again, he really is improving all the time. Haji has had a lot of poor touches and by contrast Simms is on fire. Amazing to be 4-0 up at half time and not playing well. Poor old Rotherham are so bad. Let's push for at least 6 (although when teams are thrashing someone at half time they rarely seem to get much more second half for some reason).

He’s having a good game there, been tidy in possession, made some intelligent runs too. Without getting too excited, Rotherham aren’t really a defensive test so I don’t believe he should play ahead of MVE.

I agree and give a couple of the kids a go with 20 mins to go if all going well.

Why? Put o hare and Godden on and try and blast the goal difference up - these are truly shite

leave O’Hare on the bench - Palmer looks like he’s enjoying himself and might even get a goal or two to boost his confidence, he’s likely our main 10 next year so give him all the minutes he needs

 

[Boicey]

Eccles has done well and Bidwell. Torp a bit quiet and Palmer dropped off a bit after a lively start.

 

[steve101]

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.

 

[Tommo1993]

Think Eccles was waiting for contact for some reason

 

[Nick]

Have they gone home?

if Eccles can play RWB well, surely he could translate that into playing RW?

Yup, Torp not quite as involved and a lot quieter. It's been Palmer running the show.

 

[Tommo1993]

Giggling along the M69, they’ve pulled a fast one.

 

[Alkhen]

Weird game. Rotherhams reaction felt a bit like how we crumbled after conceding that early goal against Preston.

They are obviously a bit shit but as people have pointed out they don't get battered often so we shouldn't downplay our own part in this.

Chuffed for Simms, 3 goals showed different skills, nice to see. Would be nice for Haji to click at CF now too

 

[curly_tom]

We could do with our Bluenosed friends to do us a favour tonight and get an equaliser second half.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not sure about that one lol

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Johansson has been so bad that they've subbed on Ryan Haynes to play goalie for them in the second half.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Stop tryna force someone to play RW

Without Sakamoto we don’t have the personnel to play 4-2-3-1 so we’re probably going to keep 3-4-1-2 for the rest of the season.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Simms doesn't like a Celebration does He

 

[Liquid Gold]

MVE is obviously tired this far into his first season with the intensity and number of games in English football.

He's young and will improve for the experience.

No need to put him down in order to give Eccles the praise he deserves tonight.

 

[Nick]

Wright gets nothing. Thomas does it. Instant foul

 

[Nick]

How didn't he give that shirt pull?

Any contact with their strikers it's a foul

 

[Briles]

Kelly is defo the calming influence we need in the absence of sheaf

 

[Sick Boy]

LOL

 

[mark82]

How was that not a foul, multiple times, on Palmer?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Kitch steps out of defence with so much more purpose, presses at the right time. He's so much better than Binks.

Someone get Wright a tighter shirt ffs. Having it pulled all over the gaff.

 

[Macca]

Wright does go down easily a lot though which may play on refs mind

 

[CCFCBat]

Kitching is absolutely miles ahead of Binks. Bidwell Dasilva debate is not even a debate.

Play out strongest team against Watford and we will be alright. MVE on the right and Eccles back in middle for Kelly.

Drop Torp are you sure
