There is still hope.  There is every chance an exhausted Rotherham will fail to win on Tuesday, leaving us needing just a point against Sheff Wed.  We saw how poor Sheff Wed were today.... it's definitely possible, even playing as poorly as we are.
Either way Rooney has to be sacked as soon as the season ends. 

Think it’s worth remembering the lad is only 22, moved to another country joining a team that’s struggled whilst bringing through a number of academy players.
Apply some context, not all players hit the ground running.
Maybe if we stick with him, let him settle in, not get on his back (when stadiums reopen) we’ll get to see the best of him?

Jozwiak showing what he can do when he's not surrounded by jobbers and stuck in a formation that makes it incredibly difficult to play in the opposition half. 

He’s just come on for Poland and scored 2 minutes later.....

Jozwiak just equalised for Poland

Wasn't a proper standout performance today but hopefully he's done enough to encourage Rooney and his staff to increase his playing time. He's one of the few (alongside maybe Jozwiak) players at the club who is willing to run with the ball at the opposition defence and take risks. I know there are concerns with his discipline, but he's never going to improve with that by sitting on the bench until the 85th minute every week. When Bird, Shinnie and Knight start, the latter is regularly being played in a role that seems ideal for Sibley and no matter how hard he works he just doesn't offer the same attacking threat that Sibley can. 

His little cameo on Saturday was excellent. 2 minutes on the pitch, and a great crunching tackle after closing a defender down.
Hope he does well.
 

Another good performance again today. Any fears about whether Frank was ready or not have been put to rest, I think. He seems to be have just carried on where he left off at Derby, playing and improving young'uns, trying to take the game to the oppo, pleasing the fans and winning plaudits. 
Sad that he, Fik and Mason had to go but happy to see them propering. We had some great nights with them at Derby and at very least I'm grateful for those.

Tell you what, makes you realise, if you didn’t before, how good those loans were for this level. 
We scraped into 6th last season. It was a helluva ride, but ultimately that was the end result. 
The commentator on talk sport mentioned about how many points were gained by Harry’s freekicks, and who’s going to score those free kicks now?
That really hit it home for me, and this more so. 
Without Harry scoring some top draw belters, not to mention tomori and mount’s contribution, we would have been a distinctly average team, finishing in a distinctly average position. 
We’ve not replaced those players. But we were never, seriously, likely too. They were a cut above, and trying to get in 3 more loans of the same calibre would be like winning the lottery, then winning it again the next week. Not going to happen. 
So we are what we are, we have the players we have, if anyone thinks Cocu’s going for promotion this season, they’re dreaming. Top 6 would be an almighty achievement with this squad. 

Frankie Frankie give us a bounce, Frankie give us a bounce.
