And rightly so.

This morning my son's U8's team were well mismatched and lost 14 - 0. We ended up with 2 of their players playing our side to try and even things up a bit.

I'm expecting a similar scenario today against Rotherham. I'd suggest giving them Marriott & Ledley and letting them play with 13 players just to keep our score in single figures.

When I were a lad, my cub scouts team played Saturday mornings. Sadly, we only had me and one other who could play, so it was rarely pretty. One day we lost 9-2, with me scoring as well as making some amazing last ditch tackles to keep the score down. I was in a miserable mood setting off for the Baseball Ground, as the Rams seem to have lost their mojo too. 

We beat Spurs 8-2! As a lover of symmetry, I kept hoping we'd get one more to cancel out the morning result, but down to a superb performance from Pat Jennings it didn't happen. If I recall, the board sacked Dave Mackay a few days later [looks for "banging head against a wall in frustration" emoji]
