Yep load of bollocks this. Will ring a guy I know In Sheffield his brother is first team coach at Rotherham What about the guy who drives the first team coach? Is he a reliable source?

Thought they were good at our place and like their manager. They make good use of what they have and had a real go in the reverse fixture. We need a win as drawing too many and will be tough.

They have an excellent team spirit and a manager they are fully behind. This will be tougher than most people think. They re no dopes.

Let’s not rewrite nostalgia history eh....Games were called off for waterlogged pitches back then also Well in some cases they might have been, but not usually once the game was well under way, on the principle that "we've started, so we'll finish". There was a well known Derby Manager who reportedly used to have even the muddiest pitch watered during the half time break, to prevent a better side playing their football and he wanted to change the pitch factor to level things up. Didn't teams turn up at The Vic in the heart of summer to find the wings like a bog because Waddo had the fire brigade water them so Sir Stan could do his stuff?

This players today couldn't do it on them pitches is just You Tube/Message board cliches et that just get repeated on almost every old game videos. You could just the same argue that say 80s players couldn't last the pace today, it was a different era and what they were at the time

Must win Tomorrow?
It is really isn’t it? If we’re serious about a proper promotion push.
Desperately need three points. And a couple of goals.

Hopefully that's not the case because we seem to be somewhat unreliable with midweek evening games 🤔

I think we need to get through this week which then leads to a full week without a game. If we can pick up 2 points it won't be the end of the world providing no more injuries.
With 3 points for a win we still have time (20 games) to put a playoff push run together. After a week of training we will hopefully see how good the new players really are, how much difference a fit trio of Fletcher Allen and Clucas makes, and how good our coach is.

Dont reckon it’s a must win if you are hanging your hopes on a shout at promotion. There’s plenty still to play and it seems every team is blowing hot and cold this season.
I’ve resided and taken solace in the fact that a squad of complete losers has been turned totally around, we’ve had a load of our youngsters prove themselves better than many of the veterans and MoN seems to be making shrewd clever signings that are ones for the future. Get a good solid base laid to get the promotion Jon done next season (and hopefully with a decent ethos and squad that will fight well to stay in the prem)
If we get into playoffs come May - boom! Thank you Michael for the icing on this here cake.

For me and my expectations for our club atm isn’t that we are definitely play off material yet and so personally I don’t feel that we really need to win. We should win, I hope we do win and I’ll be egging them on all the way to do so but for me we’re like a newly born deer, staggering, falling and still finding our feet so I can understand and accept that we’ll be falling over now and again.

We are drifting nicely into mid-table. That will not change unless we start converting draws into wins. We will have to wait and see how the next month pans out. I hope the new signings work out and we can make a challenge but my gut feeling is we will fall short if we cannot find a way of scoring more than one goal on a consistent basis. On the plus side, everyone around us is treading water so we have not lost too much ground. If we can start scoring goals then the play offs is easily achievable. Losing to Rotherham will not change that.

It’s a must win if we want to keep in touch and have some playoffs hopes, I think after Sat I think we will win anyway. We look so much more threatening going forward if, would like us to play Fletcher with Powell behind and the two new lads just behind.

Rotherham 0-2 stoke Fletcher and Clarke.
Think we will have to much and don’t concede many goals. Just hope we don’t do what we did Saturday and try hold onto a lead for 50/60 minutes. Hope the pitch will be better than the one at Blackburn!

Tomorrow? It is really isn’t it? If we’re serious about a proper promotion push. Desperately need three points. And a couple of goals. I don't think we are. We've drawn far too many games and we've failed to come up with proper solutions to the inherent problems that we always have, such as the lack of a free scoring striker. It's not easy, of course, but we're not going to be in with even a tiny whisper, if we don't take care of that. Even your shout for a couple of goals seems unrealistic. Could happen tonight vs poor opposition, but we're not likely to fire in many in other games.

You could have just said 3 points would be ideal lol Good job we won't be relying upon bonus points awarded for goals scored! No but if we were to finish on same points and same gd as one or more teams (not very likely but it could happen) then the team with most goals scored will go up and it won't be scfc.

50 is still a way off but i think it’s early to say that we’ve a decent cushion and a point would be decent . In fairness we are as near to bottom half as the play offs but it's all very tight. This run of 1 in 7 wins in league games or whatever it is has absolutely killed us.
