I’ve seen at least six Roth crosses going in, none from us.

Defending well but too many team changes for me.

Oh Esteves worst cross of the game.

Nil out of 10 from me for the first half an hour. Too slow, too deep. Again.

We're just set up to be a defensive, counter-attacking team aren't we? 3 games on the bounce of not being able to create anything

Looks like Velcro has changed it to pull Semedo a touch deeper and to the right, Rino forward and left and Laurent sitting in front of the defence.

I think this is a good move. Rotherham have had quite a lot of freedom to play around their half and find space there to attack. Hopeflly help us push forward too.

2 of which at home against teams pretty likely to be relegated. Not good enough and it’s not going to get us promoted.

Without Joao to go route one to, we're pretty devoid of ideas

No. We grow into games, have quality on the bench and concede little.

All we need is a decent chance and we're good.

Very poor so far. We have hardly been in their half.

I'd genuinely want to leave if I was a striker for us. Puscas is expected to create his own chances here. Ejaria and Meite are doing very little other than pressing when we don't have the ball.

And normally with our solid defence I’d have more confidence but I’m a little nervous with Esteves.

A “decent chance” also seems like a pipe dream we can’t even get on the ball.

The more the opposition have the ball the greater the possibility that they will score though. This is Reading of old.

It seems the only way we can progress up the pitch is either long ball or individual skill - if we don’t have Joao and the players aren’t on it then we’re oxf*rd.

I agree. We mostly get by on individual skill. Good thing the defense is solid eh?

Agreed. This performance is, so far, utterly atrocious. the neutral would think Rotherham are the side at the top of the table.
