6 from me should have changed formation the wing backs were very poor today and we were exposed out wide. Could have subbed Smallbone for Clarke and played 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 Gouranga.  |

Waited far too long to take Smallbone off
Started Smallbone

5*
Played smallbone and baker
That automatically deducts 5 points from his score.
Nothing to get excited about today.

Came from behind twice looks good on paper but there was a relatively easy win there and we didn't come near trying to claim it. Agree with Albert about the formation and agree with, presumably, every other poster about Smallbone, poor love he really shouldn't be out there, it does hin no favours either.

Although Smallbone wasn’t too bad today I give him 5 for picking him every game and playing brown at wingback

4 Brown shouldn’t be playing wing back Waited far too long to take Smallbone off Started Smallbone In hindsight replacing him with Powell who was completely invisible when he came on. |

You can say we came back from behind twice, but the truth is we just scraped a draw with Rotherham.
He didn't manage the game. Brown at WB doesn't work.

We should've been 2 or 3 nil up at half time! How the hell is he responsible for his strikers missing chances that Sunday League players would have put away? |

You think he's doing a good job then mate? The thread is ‘Rate AN v Rotherham’ isn’t it? Yes it is. I'll go for 5 out of 10. He loses at least 5 points for playing Brown at RWB again. He loses another 2 points for that then exposing our best centre half on the right side of an unprotected defence. He gains 2 points for getting his team to come back from a losing position twice. I just asked a question that's all, and it's not like anyone else has ever taken threads on here on a different tangent is it? |

I don't think he can be blamed for players missing decent chances at one end and switching off and not tracking runners at the other.
And it happens too many times to the point you have to question the mentality of some of these players.
I'm not expecting much to change for at least 2 transfer windows ( assuming the manager is up to it )

Fair enough. For what it's worth, I still believe that Alex Neil will end up doing a good job for us. I've been less than impressed with the start he's made though. |

By all means go and give 7's and put your opinion across. Mine is there in black and white. |

Between 1-10? That performance is not what I expect from a starting 11 and it’s not a one off. The performances of late have been “atrocious” in an extremle6 poor league

How far back are we going? I think what we’ve seen since the break, while not great, is an improvement on what we’ve seen before it. |

How far back are we going? I think what we’ve seen since the break, while not great, is an improvement on what we’ve seen before it. I’ll go back as far as Cardiff, Bristol City and today. The quality of our play has been atrocious in a poor league against teams below us in the league. Listening to AN’s post match interview today he’s either trying to con himself, or others that coming from behind on each occasion is some form of mark of resilience (see 1st sentence). Try to take a pragmatic view of our current 1st team squad, be realistic and put forward a constructive view point for each individual player of why and how they will be the core of a team that will really propel the club forward next season If supporters are happy with the quality of performance currently that’s fair do’s, I’m certainly not. |

Over the summer you were telling anyone not happy to stay away and preaching patience, what’s changed? The performances in the last three games haven’t been amazing but they’re an improvement on what came before it this season. We created chances, which we haven’t done with any consistency over the past couple of seasons. We didn’t totally collapse after conceding, which has been a feature of ours pretty much since relegation, even winning from behind for the first time in 14 months. There’s a long, long road ahead and we’re still not very good but I don’t see what’s been ‘atrocious’ compared to, say, the hammering at Watford, the shocker at West Brom or the debacle at Millwall. |

If you believe that quality of performances has improved and will see us progress, fair do’s. I’m not enjoying watching the games and I don’t think the level of those performances will see us progress in this poor league. The first point relating to quality is subjective, my second point, let’s see at the end of the season. |

Playing Brown instead of an actual RWB and no Tezgel (unless injured) on the bench baffles me. Clarke showed more in limited time he had than Brown did all game. That's not a dig at Brown, it's poor management
