True. No one would expect Bojan to win headers in the penalty area. But if he'd been still on, we would at least have had the hope that he'd been able to create something. Why? He managed fuck all in the first half He will always draw defenders/defensive midfielders' attention to him, so when he goes off, one or more of those players can offer more going forward. And they have. Plus even on a bad day, he can still conjure up something when you least expect it.

4 managers and the same performances from the team for 3 years now. Something just doesnt change We got left with the shite that took us down and added more shite, it was never going to go well really, huge clear out in the summer, I don't think I'd keep a single player from today that isn't a Jones signing apart from Etebo.

We need put to bed the ' this is rowetts shambles ' . This bloke is going to be hard work, talks a good game I'll give him that. Too much too soon, was a League 2 manager 9 months ago. I'm afraid beating your chest after beating a shite Blackburn doesn't cut the mustard with me. We have won 3 games since January when he was appointed, let that sink in.....3 fucking games Even if he looks out of he depth at the moment we need to stick with NJ, no point changing it again. We’ve blamed enough managers already. I have faith NJ will come good next season. Jones will struggle to get momentum next season too but we have to stick with him now , if antibody is to be sacked it categorically cannot be him to be used as the human shield

Exactly 20 minutes ago I called that sub but momentum has gone now too later lesson for Nathan It's funny how literally everything is a 'lesson for Nath' 😅. He's either guys enough, or he isn't. If anyone hasn't noticed, we need to up our game now, or at the very least best session with the majority of the same players we have now. Wake up call every week

I reckon we only need to shift these 18 - Ryan, BMI, Williams, Clucas, Woods, Maclean, Pieters, Fletcher, Adam, Afobe, Bojan, N'Diaye, Wimmer, Imbula, Beharinho, Tymon, N'Goy, Campbell. (Joe and Jack will inevitably leave). So, 15+ signings needed over summer. Nathan might have his christian values, but shifting 15 is the equivalent to raising of Lazarus

I'm sure there'll be plenty of excuses made, and some will be far more justified than others, but that simply wasn't good enough from all concerned was it?
3 months, 3 wins, and the last two performances have been as poor and lacklustre as pretty much anything else we've been served up this season. 2018/19 can do one.

I actually can’t remember a shot in the second half.
Just no attacking threat anywhere.
Weren’t much better at the back either.

I have no explanation for that - it is simply beyond me !! Without Butland that would have been a comfortable and deserved win for Rotherham.

If only we'd not gone 2 up. That invited feelings of a) megalomania among some like they felt they didn't need to do more on the day b) fear of losing a two goal lead because we have done it so many times before.
If we had stayed 1-0 we might have kept on our toes the whole time.
Or. Maybe we're just no good.

Truly shite management there. The second he took Bojan off he removed any control we had over the game, made our play inevitably scrappy & invited them on. Not saying Boj was tearing it up by any stretch, but the way he effortlessly keeps the ball, recycles possession & links the play up between defence and the forwards is fundamental to our performance. Him getting hooked brought us down to their scrappy level, and is the first time I'm thoroughly fucked off with Nathan. Rank lower league management and unsurprisingly saw us lose any foothold we had in the game.

Why? He managed fuck all in the first half He will always draw defenders/defensive midfielders' attention to him, so when he goes off, one or more of those players can offer more going forward. And they have. Plus even on a bad day, he can still conjure up something when you least expect it. Again, he achieved none of that first half so why would we have hope he'd have managed it if he'd stayed on? Like i said, i'm not slating Bojan or saying he was any worse than the rest but this pathetic insistence that if we lose it's because Bojan didn't play, or if he does play and then we play badly then we'll suddenly re-write the game completely and pretend we only played badly after he went off is just teenage bollocks. He didn't influence the game in any way today, neither did anyone else. In short they were ALL largely shit including Bojan. Him going off didn't effect our attack (apart from 1 minute in the first half, we didn't seem to have an attack at all) and it most certainly didn't effect our defence. He wasn't drawing defenders away from anyone today, he was bloody anonymous (like pretty much everyone else). He had a very mediocre game at best (like the rest). It is allowed to actually say that about Bojan isn't it? You know, the truth rather than spun shit people make up simply because they feel some need to absolve him of any of the criticism that the rest of the team are seemingly completely justified in getting? The team were shit today, Bojan included. The Bojan groupies are starting to sound more and more like fucking Trump supporters by the day! Try being football fans rather than teenagers with a crush
