James ? Matty James ?Wilson 6 - he was there!
DaCosta 5 - Some half decent attacking once King Giles was on the pitch, kept the glorious boy Giles quiet, but before that was all over the place positionally
Hyam 8 -solid
McFadzean 8 - solid
Ostegard 9 - Solid + goal
McCallum 9 MotM - solid and actually offered an outlet
James 7 - OK. Neither here nor there.
Kelly 6 - started well, faded.
O'Hare 5 - not one of his better games, nothing really worked
Godden 5 - not match fit, terrible miss
Walker 7 - made good runs, offered an outlet, two misses
Gyokeres and Biamou 5 - didn't really do anything, either of them.
Hamer 6 - a bit Kellyesque. Involved, but wayward passing.
Robins is now back as a managerial God in your eyes, then?James ? Matty James ?
The same Matty James both managers was the best player on the pitch ? I take it you’ll ignore me too like @Grendel
He’s hardly played much so for him to play 96 mins in that role is really impressive (didn’t think he would last 70) yes he’s a maverick defensively but his energy to make these forward runs in 80 plus minutes was impressive. He got better as the game went on.DaCosta wasn’t great with the ball but I felt like he’d really taken onboard feedback from the QPR game and stuck to his position well and was defensively solid.

The Cannock Cafu is the biggest myth of the seasonHe got better once Giles came on, interestingly.
More like itCannock cafe
I wouldGyokeres 6 Let’s be honest, this guy is entirely forgettable, and if he signed somewhere else tomorrow, not a single one of us would care
Fuckin auto fillMore like it
Agree. Hyam did really well especially coming back from illnessShout out to Hyam. Coming back in after illness and didn't put a foot wrong. Also first time I have seen Kelly and James both playing really well together.
Wilson 7 (not much to do but no mistakes and a clean sheet)
Dacosta 7 (a few rash moments early on but took up some great attacking positions)
McCallum 9 (non-stop work, anticipated well and recovered well. Didn't give up the ball which led to free-kick for goal)
Ostigard 9 (great solid performance defensively and topped it with the goal)
McFadzean 9 (dominant in the air and organised the back line well)
Hyam 8 (needed to be physical today and was. Assured with his decision making)
Kelly 9 (for me just shaded motm. His defensive awareness and coverage was superb. Almost scored one of the goals of the season)
James 9 (linked things so well, first to the ball and some quality passing)
O'Hare 6 (good hustling as usual but not able to create anything. Should have scored one on one)
Walker 6 (some decent movement but disappointing end product)
Godden 5 (clearly not fit. Missed open goal)
Gyokeres 6 (nice awareness with back-heal to Dacosta but otherwise not able to offer much)
Biamou 6.5 (started with weak pass straight to opposition but then created chances for Dacosta and Hamer)
Hamer 6 (almost gave a late chance away with poor back pass but his energy was needed)
Robins 9 (I was worried by Wilson and Dacosta selection and absence of Hamer but the result says he got it right)
Warne (honest assessment of game. Refreshing to see)
Just out of interest, I agree that Godden isn’t fit, and shouldn’t be in the team. So, I wouldn’t write Gyokeres off, because I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him to judge. My memory tells me that Gyokeres has had two chances in his substitute performances, and has scored them both. He also offers a physicality that Godden doesn’t. I’m not against Godden by any means, but at the moment it seems to me that playing Godden means we’re playing with 10 men. We need to start Walker with Gyokeres. I’m guessing that Godden will start on Saturday, and I hope he proves me wrong by scoring the winner!Wilson 5 Didn’t have much to do. He can’t kick. Haircut is bad considering barbers reopened on Monday
McCallum 8 His best game of the season. I’d have him back next year on that showing
Hyam 6 The season can’t end soon enough for him but he was fine tonight
McFadzean 7 Mercifully error-free tonight, and when that’s the case, you’ve got a good CB
Ostigard 8 Getting better with every game. Looked shaky early this season but now looks almost too good for us
Dacosta 6 Technically and positionally he’s all over the place, but he can make stuff happen, especially against a papier-mâché defense like Rotherham’s
Kelly 5 Seemed to just punt the ball skyward whenever he got it. Off night for him
James 8 MOTM Made up for a few dubious set-pieces with a peach for Ostigard. One of few players who looks comfortable at this level, and kept things ticking over
O’Hare 6 Shocking miss, didn’t really impose himself on the game. Wouldn’t blame him for being tired at this point of the season
Godden 5 Worst miss of the game, in a game full of bad misses. Bit of a lost year for him
Walker 6 Didn’t offer much in front of goal, but his movement continues to be excellent
Gyokeres 6 Let’s be honest, this guy is entirely forgettable, and if he signed somewhere else tomorrow, not a single one of us would care
Biamou 5 Max gonna Max
Hamer 6 Offered as much as O’Hare did in a fraction of the time
Looking at those ratings it feels like I’m being harsh on a team that won comfortably. But having heard for weeks that Rotherham were a football juggernaut, sitting pretty and just waiting to cash in all those games in hand after pulling off Operation COVID False Flag, you’ll have to forgive me for being underwhelmed with what they actually looked like tonight. Because they were shit.
I wouldn't be averse to Gyokeres coming back next season, but it's more on the logic that all the managers can't be wrong.Just out of interest, I agree that Godden isn’t fit, and shouldn’t be in the team.

Wouldn’t want him back here next season,the 2 free kicks he gave away late on put us under pressure when it wasn’t neededI wouldn't be averse to Gyokeres coming back next season, but it's more on the logic that all the managers can't be wrong.

Don’t know what you find funny. They are much better strikers than max but Godden especially you would be killing Max for lifting that sitter over the barOhare Godden and Walker should have scored. Awful attempts at goal
Not sure Dacosta looked tentative! Cavalier maybeOstigard, Fadz, McCallum and James brilliant
Walker disappointing, O’Hare off by his own standards tonight too, Dacosta looked a bit tentative
That said, work rate unbelievable from all the team. Such an important win! PUSB
That's ridiculous. Their movement was excellent and put us on the front foot from the start.Everyone an nine apart from godden a four and walker a five .
Well tentative in meeting the ball then, couple of times he stood offNot sure Dacosta looked tentative! Cavalier maybe
100 % correct.I’d give Robins 10 for changing his tactics. For once we didn’t try to overplay from the back. Got it forward quickly and caused problems. It didn’t suit O’Hare which is why most are marking him low. But so what. Massive 3 points.
Tied with Wing for shot of the matchKelly 5 but had the shot of the match
Well Sunday maybe?Just out of interest, I agree that Godden isn’t fit, and shouldn’t be in the team. So, I wouldn’t write Gyokeres off, because I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him to judge.

Totally agree with thatEveryone 10 bar O’Hare & Godden 3
O'Hare struggled, great team performance though
