Who would have put Rotherham and Wednesday down for away wins today? But, it's certainly us and Brum with the most work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 2 points from a possible 18 in March. 1 win in 9 now too. Some of us did say the run in would be tough. I am looking at Luton, Birmingham and Wednesday at home. I think much if not all of it will boil down to those games. Honestly if we can’t win those games and stay up, then we will totally deserve League 1 football. ariotofmyown, jimtastic56, Bob Mash and 6 others 1 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More confident than ever that we will pull clear, I don’t think Rotherham will even get 50 points Only 2 more wins to go above us now. 4 games to do out in that 2nd half was a one off not to be seen again this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtastic56 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Rooney says the team is fragile. But he sounds like a broken man. Has he lost belief in himself? Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I was mocked with my recent predictions saying Rotherham would stay up and it was going to be a toss up between us and Brum for the third trap door place ? NottsRam77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney is copping flak and understandably so but at what point do our players take responsibility here. Rooney says plan was to get on the front foot and take the game to Stoke. They picked the same team that played second half against Brentford. Yet they did the complete opposite. They sat deep, they played the safe passes no one took responsibility. 8 game scrap now, it’s in our hands but it’s concerning that when we need to step up, some of our players freeze. Ultimately you finish where you deserve to finish, if we go down it won’t be down to Rooney, there are many other reasons why we are where we are. We just have to hope we scramble enough points to survive. Asanovic70, TigerTedd, Rammy03 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Complacent is the right word. Clearly we thought the job was done in February. And to be fair so did many of our fans. I had hoped Cardiff would be the wake up call, but not much has changed since then. Brentford let us off in midweek and Barnsley can’t win every game. We have to hope this break has come at the right time and Rooney and the coaching staff can get minds right, because if we carry the same attitude into April, we will be in big trouble.

24Charlie Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 We seem to be supported by a bunch of manic depressives. Maybe it’s because I’m old enough to have watched us in Div 3 that the drop holds no worries. We’ll come back soon enough and stronger. It’s quite a cathartic experience, for club, players and fans. Phoenix from the flames and all that. But we won’t go down this season. Without a change in ownership then we may well do next year.

I enjoyed our time in Division 3 being the big club, visiting some different grounds. Perhaps that is what we need, a complete overhaul, start again.... 24Charlie and Finch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to hope we scramble enough points to survive. The thing is though he didn't, he just didn't. It might only look like small changes but today a half fit CKR was shoved out wide and Sibley was pushed right up front, neither of which was the case second half against Brentford in the second half (where we also had Gregory given an extra target). We were also playing against a side with a very different philosophy defensively with extra bodies in the back as well. Against Brentford we started getting a bit of joy because we could overload the central areas in and around the box and physically CKR and Gregory could occupy and create space against the Brentford. Today wasn't the case and we weren't set up in anyway that could be classed as coherent. If we go down Rooney should absolutely take a big old share of the blame for it. jimtastic56, LeedsCityRam and Deej 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly going to be a nail biting end to the season. I have confidence we will stay up. JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta and Rammy03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
