Millers v Blackbum

[beaufighter]

Just cos we haven't had one in a while, here's a place for all the Millers moaning and Blackburn boasting this evening.

Negatives for us, Rovers stats are quite intimidating, You may be aware that Moore has departed, so that's obviously a big negative for us. Another negative will be a naturally fired up Smallwood returning for the first time since last season.

Positively, we've done very very well over Christmas despite Moore being absent anyway. Hoping for, but not so much expecting, a 2-1 home win.

Just me then. Nothing to moan about really, a point is a fair result against a strong side. Having said that the ref bottled three potential penalty decisions after the equaliser that may have given us an undeserved win. None of the Rovers players stood out individually for me, but as a team, their pace, power and awareness gave us plenty of problems. For us JCH came on and performed as we know he can, but mainly doesn't. If he could find some consistency we wouldn't need Kieffer Moore as JCH has all the same attributes.

Tactical genius from 'only a fitness coach' as he shoved central defender Ajayi up front near the end. Some say it smacked of desperation, but it worked lol. 4 wins and 2 draws from six is nothing to be unhappy about.

Thought we were a bit leggy today, we couldn't string 4 passes together most of the game but i thought Blackburn high pressing game was very good which made it tricky for us to get going. Only time we ever looked on top was after we scored in the 89th min and could quite easily have got another if we had more composure.

Delighted to see David Ball getting on the score sheet quite a few times recently, quality player and he will do well for you

You have to wonder how we'd have done if Warney played 2 up front from the start of the season, instead Moore on his own

Bottled it again, need to be seeing games like that out. Bringing a shite centre back on for an experienced target man was a diabolical decision by Mowbray.

Really looking forward to our game at yours on the 13th, pretty much a must not lose for you guys.

It's more than that now; it's a must win, we need to close that gap sooner rather than later.
