Ambitious Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Rotherham have 3 games to make up four points, therefore you have to think that even in the best case scenario they end up on roughly the same points. I can't imagine they will lose all three games, personally, but they're very unlikely to win all three as well. If they do, however, I will make a lot of money on the back of those winning games - starting with the small fortune I stand to win if they get all three points tonight. Middlesbrough haven't won in 5 games either and look like they're happy to half-heart it until the end of the season. You have to say that based on the last couple of performances in particular, we just don't have anything about us. We simply can't score goals from open play. 14 goals from open play in 43 Championship matches is on target to go down as the worst return for a second division side since they started keeping records. It's probably the worst since the birth of the Championship. I mean, I don't think it can be understated just how awful that particular stat is - for me it's more egregious than obtaining 11 points in 38 Premier League games. The team is completely in the hands of a new owner that talks a big game, but is a complete unknown. The few claims he's made have been debunked. It seems like another charlatan like the fake Sheikh but Mel is so desperate to rid himself of this club that I honestly don't think he cares any more. Nevertheless, I wouldn't at this point be surprised if this one fell through either. It's depressing to think there have been Derby fans die during covid with THIS being the lasting memory of the team they've supported throughout their whole life. An owner desperate to get out, academy players being thrown into the deep end and surviving on loan players to get us through - all whilst peddling a publicity stunt manager with absolutely no experience. The club is well and truly on its arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but Gibson said he could only afford a cheap hotel next to the M1 and the players had to run all the way there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 No more stroking it around the back four on 83 minutes when we’re 2-0 down. No more Lee Buchanan playing it diagonally backwards every time he receives the ball. Get down that ducking wing mate and cross the ball like you’ve been practicing for 10 years. No more free kicks in an attacking position that end up back with our keeper. Please lads just do the basics well. Pass, move, cross and shoot, close down with intensity, you are professional footballers, not the Kings Arms Sunday X1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope you meant it as a joke. Neil Warnock has made two changes to his Middlesbrough team at Rotherham - but the talking point is who is missing rather than who plays. Britt Assombalonga, Ashley Fletcher, Djed Spence, Hayden Coulson and Darnell Fisher are all absent from the squad at the New York Stadium. The five outfield players on the bench haven't played a league minute for Boro between them. not much of a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
