Lots of draws in amongst it though if we are being critical. You could say only two wins in seven….

You could say only two wins in seven…. 4 away games unbeaten out of the 7 also👍 Unbeaten runs are pretty meaningless to be honest. 5 draws and two wins equates to 11 points. 4 wins and three losses equates to 12 points. Do the team get more confidence from going unbeaten or been higher up the table ? |

Just checked and it looks like we went 10 unbeaten under Rowett Lost at Birmingham on Boxing Day ( I think ) to end the 10 unbeaten run and was gone after the FA CUP 3rd round. Just highlights how quickly thinks turned for Rowett though memory tells me there were a few unconvincing and uninspiring performances during that run bearing in mind we'd just been relegated and spent 50 million. This seems different despite there being 5 drawn games out of the 7. |

Incredible how quickly the wheels fell off for Rowett. |

Can’t agree with that first sentence at all Yes i understand the points comparison but when your manager gets the boot and you go 7 unbeaten after I’d say it shows a good response from all involved and especially after how bad we were against Sheff Wed |

Under Schumacher, we are also 7th in the form table over the last 5 games. |

I agree in the long run but I’m talking about after the manager was sacked and it includes 4 away games🤔Some are just never satisfied |

We have some really tough away games in the run in Leeds , Southampton Sunderland to name three so I’m very grateful for anything we get on the road 55 points or similar would be excellent and all we can hope for

Are you moving the goalposts again Benjamin because you have been telling us repeatedly all season that 50 points is the best we can hope for? |

Stay unbeaten with draws or lose a few, and win more? Going unbeaten matters nothing if that extra point gets you in play offs ? I agree in the long run but I’m talking about after the manager was sacked and it includes 4 away games🤔Some are just never satisfied Gallagher definitely steadied the ship in the first two matches he took charge for after Neils departure which was no mean feat as were quickly spiralling at that point. But considering SS took over just before the crazy Christmas & NY period of fixtures every few days, & the fact we were still confidence low at this stage but he has still managed to continue the unbeaten run going that PG started off & in the process has gained us 9pts from a possible 15 with 3x clean sheets amongst his five matches in charge is very commendable in my book. This last week was the first proper Saturday to Saturday spell of non fixture rest & recovery & training that Schumacher & his team have had to prepare the team and already the signs are there that we're far more resilient and also far more stable in all areas of play now. I also like the way SS makes the subs when he sees fit, but strangely & possibly coincidentally the changes he makes don't adversely affect our style or disrupt our play. How often have we seen AN or even MON making subs and our formation & lines get broken and we were quickly on the back foot. The amount of late goals we've conceded have stopped when AN got sacked & the differences are already clear to see. You can look at this 7x match unbeaten run as a glass being half empty, but I see it as being half full but filling up gradually as the weeks go by. This current run we're on is galvanising not only the players to be looking more confident & positive, but also the fans are feeling the change aswell. The atmosphere at Rotherham today considering the match wasn't full of goal action was immense & I've heard more Schumachers Red & White army during one match than I think I ever heard Alex Neil being sung about.. |

I’d rather take results from when the manager joined which is 2 wins and 3 draws… not bad at all.

Are you moving the goalposts again Benjamin because you have been telling us repeatedly all season that 50 points is the best we can hope for? I’d take anything from 50 I’ve said that all along and haven’t changed that view today was a huge step, and we just need to keep, ticking over points until we get there. |

Lost at Birmingham on Boxing Day ( I think ) to end the 10 unbeaten run and was gone after the FA CUP 3rd round. Just highlights how quickly thinks turned for Rowett though memory tells me there were a few unconvincing and uninspiring performances during that run bearing in mind we'd just been relegated and spent 50 million. This seems different despite there being 5 drawn games out of the 7. We beat Millwall to go 10 games unbeaten, 9th in the league and 4 points off the play offs. Incredible how quickly the wheels fell off for Rowett. The expectation for that season was a lot higher than 9th place and 4 points off the play-offs, though. Given the resources available, I think most hoped that we would be doing what Leicester have done this season. |

This seems different despite there being 5 drawn games out of the 7. And it was only the game after that (Bolton) which was the infamous Delap/Bojan comment from Rowett which was the point of no return for him. Like you say, crazy how quick things turned for him. I think if he hadn’t made them comments after that game he would have had longer. |
