This is their second outbreak, too. It sounds like they feel aggreived about having to play but other clubs have had to play matches in far from ideal circumstances. I hope we don't get another outbreak as we would be dealt with in a similar manner. I didn't see them complaining when we had to play against them after 1 days training after our covid outbreak.

Can see them picking up 8pts, 10 max? Beating Wycombe & Cov at home, drawing to BHam & QPR. 3 games against teams around us so at least some of them will be dropping points too. If we win 2 of our last 9 that means Rotherham need to get 15-16pts to go above us, I cant see them winning 5 of their remaining games? Sorry disagree entirely how many of those teams are current top 6 ? how many of those teams are at the lesser end of the table ? and how many are smack bang mid table with bugger all to play for They’ve got two trickier games in Barnsley, Brentford and Cardiff .. then your looking at boro.... who they put 3 past ... the rest of them are mid to below mid table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know! I do think Rotherham have been pushing their luck with the way they've been behaving all season, on and off the field. I previously quite liked them as a club but have rapidly gone off them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, we finished on a high - the draw felt like a win and hopefully the confidence boost will last. Oh, and Rooney has learnt a bit about what worked and what didn't of course. Good points and I agree. I just feel it’s all on a knife edge. I will be much happier if we can build up some sort of positive momentum and decent results. Hopefully other teams will not keep sneaking wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This notion that teams who are mid table don't turn up for the last few games is false. Look at forest last year, they only needed a point to get into the playoffs, they ended up getting demolished by a stoke side who had already achieved safety.

BucksRam Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 So 5,533 players & staff from 72 clubs were tested with only Rotherham returning positive results, again. And 25 too, not even an isolated case. Don't get me wrong, I hope they're all ok, but something is clearly wrong with their so called bubble and protocols.

If that was our run in I would be pretty confident we would survive I’m sorry but they play what ? Teams in the top 6 between now and end of the season ?

24Charlie Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Because Rotherham have poohoused 6 points out of us doesn't mean they are any good. Most teams know how to play against Rotherham and because of that they will not win enough games to save themselves. If you add to that, that they may well have to postbone their next fixture due to covid isolation then they are really up against it. I think the bottom three are done and dusted. It would take a herculean effort for Rotherham to get out of it. They need to win two of their 4 games in hand just to draw level. They don't have the squad depth to get the results necessary with such an over-crowded fixture list. Especialially when you consider that they really aren't very good to start with.

FindernRam Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Failure to play their fixtures should result in game being forfeited. Can forgive an unexpected lapse, but 4 games, 25 players/staff infected. smacks of negligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Git Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Do they all form a circle in the dressing room? Sounds well dodgy to me. Remind me never to buy a burger and to take my own pint pot if I ever have the misfortune to go to an away game there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
