Millers Vs Caravan Rovers FC

[Reaper]

3 points is a given on Saturday and Crewe in Cup is a non event in my opinion.

Was a tongue in cheek post mate I couldn't give a shit about fa cup, we'll probably lose anyways.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Ffs over 2 weeks until we play this lot we have bigger fish to fry before then, Crewe in the cup then I'll be all over this thread.

Not to mention another bunch of so called 'pikeys' this weekend?

 

[DearneValleyRover]

To be fair, the St Leger festival probably generates more money and exposure for the town than all Rover's home games combined over a season.

It’s not just the football club but all other sport in general.

Do you really want to draw attention to this? They say it's hope that kills you

 

[Camborne Gills]

We have no hope so it wont kill me. I will be at a wedding, blissfully unaware of what the score is anyway

For Gillingham.....

 

[PuB]

SERNWA won't be back for a few days now, thank fuck

Camborne Gills, hope you've caught up with the score now. The Gills completely deserved this one, they played the perfect away game yesterday. Early goal, then harried and chased us and knocked us off our game completely. We briefly looked like turning it around after the subs came on but Gillingham basically controlled the game. A lesson for our players too, I think, that just because you're in the top six, doesn't make you better players than the bottom six. We're all just League One and you still have to work for it.

I was being kept in touch with the score while we having the wedding dinner, half of the table were using their phones to keep up to date.

A very honest appraisal of what happened, which is more than some would have said. Cheers.

Bump

We'll probably lose this now we are in free fall and shipping goals left right and centre.

Sounds like Kieffer Moore is suspended as well so we will struggle to score without him, great time for Donny to play us atm.

We lose this then Warne and Barker can clear their desks.

At least our fans are turning up anyways if our players don't, really surprised we have sold the amount we have with the abysmal away record and recent current form.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

That maybe the case Reaper but we are truly shite

 

[Lee]

I think we have won 5 out of our last 8 but were not playing that well. Now baudry is back fit, fergy seems to have finally picked a formation he is going to stick to, and at least we look more organised... hoping Joe Wright is fit for saturday as Alcock is terrible, and shouldn't be anywhere near out starting 11. I fancy copps to have a big game

 

[beaufighter]

I was really keen for this game to come around a few weeks ago. Now, not so much. Funny that innit, lol. Donny might be shite, but they are much better than Crewe.

I think talk of people clearing their desks is very premature though.

 

[Millerbri]

Less than 300 tickets left from an allocation of 3916.

It will be really bad if we concede early, the knives were out at Crewe.

Trouble with football fans is they have no patience, turning the team round from serial losers doesn't take 5 minutes.

Warne is a victim of our early season good results.

 

[Reaper]

I thought we were having a few players out suspended but it looks like just Mattock now which will probably leave us handing a league debut to a young player from our academy to play left back which might be a risk but he's supposed be a good talent.

Lee Frecklington is touch and go to start after injury which will be a major boost because we are so much better with him in the team.

Predicted line up providing Freckliington plays with 451 formation.

Rodak
Cummings, Ihiekwe, Wood, Hinds
Williams, Freckliington, Potter, Vaulks, Newell
Moore

3812 millers

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Our likely lineup if Wright is fit:
Lawlor
Wright Butler Baudry
Blair. Whiteman Houghton Toffolo
Coppinger. Rowe
Marquis

 

[Reaper]

Rodak on international duty and Freckliington sounds like he's not gonna play so Price in goal and Towell instead of Freckliington, can't see O'Donnell getting selected in goal he's on terrible form.

 

[Millerbri]

There's been no sell out announcement so far but there were less than 100 left at 2pm.
Still a very good effort after the last 3 league games.
Hope it's a good game for TV and there's no bother.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Hope Donny win, not as arrogant as you lot

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Poor game, the last gasp equaliser sums up our season so far, not able to close a game out. Jordan Houghton best player on the pitch by a mile. Vaulks could find himself in bother for shoving the ball boy over.

 

[beaufighter]

Was all set to come on here and congratulate Donny on a deserved win, when up pops that man again.

Donny best side and played best football in second half, as painful as that is, but, the fact they were only leading by luck anyway balances it out.

Vaulks very committed and "showing passion" is good for the fans, but a very silly way of showing it. Hope he apologised to the ball boy afterwards.

Last word, Lance Stoe shows himself to be a knob once again. Poor effort to rile us up.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Any violence??

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Any violence??

Probably

 

[Reaper]

Well that was a fucking shite game and didn't live up to the occasion. I thought we was wank and predictable once again just hoofing it to Moore all the time instead of playing it out from the back which we are better at, tactically inept again from Warne who could have been seconds away from getting the chop, he just doesn't know how to change plan when it's not working imo.

Heard few Donny fans saying they deserved the win and we got lucky but we had the better chances by hitting inside of the woodwork twice with 1 looking like crossing the line and Donny getting a goal from 1 of our players so they would have been very fortune to come away with the 3 points.

 

[Reaper]

Any violence??

Heard there was scrapping in town before the game and Urban Bar got smashed by Rotherham fans but i wasn't there to see that but after the game i saw bottles bricks and all sorts getting thrown between both sets of fans at bottom of stadium way going onto middle bank in the police escort to the train station.

Not surprised one bit always kicks off in this fixture and expect the same in the return game.

The two penalties we should have got but didn’t sort of balance out the woodwork shots but overall a poor game.

 

[beaufighter]

Watching the replays on telly today, Marquis might have had one pen, when he was bundled over, but not the second one. The ball came off his arm to set up the shot which then hit the arm of our defender. Would have been harsh if given.

Regarding our goal that never was, I thought it had gone in at the time and replays seem to confirm it as the ball bounced down into the keepers midriff, with him laid with his upper half in the goal. I get why the officials couldn't be certain though. If that had counted we likely wouldn't have been pushing so hard at the end and would probably have drawn anyway.

 

[Millerbri]

I thought we were poor particularly second half but certainly deserved a point.
We did hit the woodwork 3 times and although Donny played the prettier football, we had the clearer chances.
We were poor because most of our good attacking play comes down the wings and Williams probably had his worst game so far.
Taylor was suffering from a knock quite early on so was not at his best and Newell was totally ineffective both in midfield and later on the left side.

Felt quite good getting an equaliser in time added on for blatant time wasting.

Vaulks was angry the ball wasn't returned for the throw in but later tweeted an apology to the ball boy.
Personally I'm not sure that he really deserved one as he was clearly following Club orders to hang on to the ball and waste yet more time.

Nice day, great respect for the Remembrance shown by both sets of fans, completely forgettable match.

Any violence??

Plenty of posturing before & some nasty toe to toe after, the Rotherham fan on this short clip who is limping at the start has just been decked after kicking off outside the bar frequented by families & old men, Shame fatty didn’t suffer the same fate. https://twitter.com/millermuppets/status/929679197114597376
