Rotherham vs Bristol City

[.V.]

Wasn't there, however I think I'd be leaning towards getting a replacement if I could actually think of someone I'd really want to come in. Paul Lambert I had as the one before he took the Blackburn job.

Nigel Pearson?

I just don't think getting rid is the answer. I get frustrated with SC but I don't think he's the main problem at all.

Agree with that. He's doing what he can with a threadbare squad desperately lacking in Championship quality (although some may argue that lack of quality is his own doing) The last two January windows have been fantastic for us. Its not unreasonable to suggest he might do some shrewd business again so we should give him that opportunity at least.

I'd only want a change if there was really somebody inspiring ready to take the helm which I very much doubt.

Anyway, im surprised that SERNWA that absolute f***ing runt of a Rotherham fan hasn't suddenly reappeared again.

Hypothetically, if he was to go, one I haven't seen mentioned is Gus Poyet. What's he up to at the minute?

Think Poyet got a job at some Greek side about a month ago.

Nigel Pearson?

No fucking chance

No fucking chance

Why not? I'd like to think he'd consider coming here if he was contemplating accepting the fucking Fulham job. He'd have money to spend, be on a decent wage and a club that would be able to host Premier League football, if he got us there. It'd be well worth a try, and he'd be my choice if Cotterill gets sacked.

FWIW, I wouldn't put his head on the chopping board just yet. We have Blackburn, Huddersfield, Derby and QPR as our next 4 - let's see where we are then, before making a rash decision.

Yorkshire to London is a much easier commute than Yorkshire to Bristol.

You've no chance, regardless.

Right, having had some time to reflect, 3 things come out of that game for me:

First, when we invariably steam out of the blocks we have got to take our chances. Because at the minute if we concede the first goal we are done.

That is down to our absolute lack of a Plan B. Partly down to our real lack of depth, I won't get into that again. But also that is partly down to Cotterill himself. He seems unable to meaningfully change a game when it's not going our way, and in fact that goes back to our days in League 1 as well, it just wasn't a situation that occured often.

But it's not all on Cotterill. The players themselves have got to take some responsibility. They woefully under-performed yesterday, and it wasn't just the obvious candidates. Korey gave his worst display in a City shirt by a distance and the game completely passed Kodjia by. They've got to pick it up - that last hour was a disgrace.

Big game now against Blackburn. It won't be easy, Lambert was a good appointment and they'll start climbing the table now, but we've got to bounce back fast. And to be fair we have done that so far this season when we've had a shocker. After the Fulham debacle we grinded an important 1-0 win over Wolves and we need something similar on Saturday.

Christ, have you just described us or yourselves?

Thanks, you've somehow managed to make it seem worse

Sorry, but your first three paragraphs is exactly how I'd describe us at the moment. Boxing Day should be a real cracker (pun intended).

Ha, that sarcastic? Big game. Somewhat doubt it will be one for the neutrals to flood over, though

 

[Bobbin']

Very sarcastic.

I think I'll stay at home and carry on eating to be honest.
