I hope you don't mind Godden taking it home with him.
Are the Rotherham women as good as made out on Soccer AM? (I havent watched it since Tim Lovejoys days, I presume the jokes are still the same?)

Going to be a tough game, they're a better side than their recent form would suggest. Could really do with winning an away game soon though.
Said this last Friday "Liam Kelly is closer to fitness and we’ll just wait and see on it but certainly he’s back on the grass" Did you hear something different?
Wouldn't be surprised to see him play vs Rugby tonight

Rose for McFad and Kasta for Jobello.
Robins was implying that Kasta wasn't exactly ready to start however in the donny post match interview.

No way I'd drop McFadz for this. We need his leadership on the pitch and his ability to bring the ball out of defence can break lines in midfield.

Drop McFadz?? Are people feeling alright???? He's vital to our team with his leadership and one of the first names on the team sheet

Keep the team as it is, can't afford to carry players who aren't 100% when you're on the ball less. Kastaneer with his explosiveness is better used to bring impact later in games at the minute. The calls to drop Hiwula are ridiculous.

Whilst playing and performing well overall I doubt Robins will make changes unless necessary, and rightly so.
i wouldn't say calls to drop Hiwula are "ridiculous" though. For me overall i think he's been the worst performer (more that others are playing well than him badly tbh) over the last couple of games, which is frustrating because he popped up with a goal and is clearly capable just too inconsistent!

Keep him in if you want to counter on the break. Top scorer last season and will be up there again this. Obviously missed chances, but will still score plenty.

I very much doubt Kastaneer will start
He may well be first change
He's got to continue to show he's playing for the team and not himself
Hopefully the penny has dropped

Thought he looked much more composed and structured against Donny. Signs he’s listening?

Yet remains our biggest goal threat, another out and out winger on his side would leave Godden even more isolated

But with Jobello wanting to stay wide and Hiwula wanting to come in it does make the forward line a bit lop-sided and playing further to the right than they probably ought to. Could be one of the reasons opposition managers have targeted our left hand side this season?

In an ideal world 433 let’s you be 343, 442 433 and 451 depending on the situation and the wide players in both midfield and attack need to be comfortable playing wide or centrally as the situation requires. But we are a L1 side with L1 players, it ain’t gonna be perfect.

I am afraid the Rotherham women are not the best !!
Some big girls about from what I have seen.
Let's hope you are right about the match ball.

We need an away win to counter the draw we had at SA saturday

They are a better team that their current form suggests, this will be a tough test. 1-1.
Weirdly enough I was at the ground on Monday, nice little ground and we were shown round the exec area etc. It was the first time I actually noticed you can still see the old ground intact over the other side of the carriageway!

Hadn't realised that Robins was manager at Rotherham when they had to move from Millmoor and play at the Don Valley stadium in Sheffield, can't be many managers put into this situation twice

Only 120 tickets left. Should be a sell out and create a great atmosphere.

No. Want us to go unbeaten. Want us to become the new invincibles, albeit it a League one shittier version.

Losing is never ok
Think the way we are staying unbeaten is important, would say the run has seen us pick up more points from losing positions than we've lost from winning positions.
Unbeaten run is great when your gaining points, would be worrying if we were sitting on 1 goal leads hoping to continue "the run" and trading 3 points for 1

Oh yeah think we all as city fans want to lose and have our unbeaten record lost:emoji_fingers_crossed::emoji_fingers_crossed:

Again cant see Robins changing anything. I know it is in our fans mind-set to make a change every week but even with the criticism of Jobello and Hiwula, they are ultimately part of an unbeaten team. Only rotation comes with the centre backs which he appears to do based on the opposition rather than form.

Keep the same as is, I don’t understand some of the calls to change the team:
Start Kelly - he clearly isn’t ready to come straight back into the team, and why rush when Walsh is a more than adequate replacement (even if he’s becoming a target for some on here).
Drop McFadzean - What?! I wasn’t sure of the hype the first few games but I see it now, especially as he’s stopped the Hollywood balls. His anticipation, leadership, experience and ability to step out with the ball are key.
Jobello for Kasteneer - I doubt Kasteneer is fit enough to start; he looked tired after 20 minutes last week. Plus, while he is potentially the better of the two, his positional sense is worse than Jobellos (which isn’t exactly great). Let him come on as an impact sub and continue to prove he can be an asset.
Drop Hiwula - I understand this one the most, as while his movement is as good as ever, his composure, confidence and technical ability seem to have dropped. His in/out style of play is more forgivable if he’s finishing easy chances. However, he’s still a good player and once he scores another and his confidence improves he’ll be back to his best. Plus, we have nobody to replace him with - we’d lost too much creativity pushing O’Hare out wide.
Strong away following, strong performance, strong result:
0-3, Hiwula, Godden, O’Hare.
