Bob Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 All these pathetic excuses, leggy, too much travelling, too many games, their tired. Professional athletes are supposed to be fit. Good job they're not cyclists in Le Tour, they wouldn't last two stages. They weren't good enough, end of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could maybe just pay a player more money when they're injured and then they could be fit again! This is ace!

No need to worry about any of that if all you have to do is pay them more money! Player feeling tired? GIVE EM A HUGE BONUS!!!

We have a squad, as a result we should use them. Says to me that Thompson is not the right man for the job. We need a proper manager in, end of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeakOwl Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 1 hour ago, sMacLean said: If the players were leggy after Bournemouth why not change the side? Squad is huge. Yep. Rotherham made 5 changes today to ‘refresh’ their side. Pretty obvious after the recent run, our players would be fatigued, yet we made just 1 change to the side that iirc also started the previous 2 games this week. Down to NT today....

WalterWhite Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Rather than tiredness I thought we were bullied. Their central midfielders won everything and I felt sorry for our defenders and Westwood who were under constant pressure. Bannan, Joey and Reach are very lightweight and just couldn't compete on a heavy pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he should have rotated the 11. Very poor from NT today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have rotated the side that's just won game after game after game and played and looked so well? 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 1 hour ago, @owlstalk said: We were found wanting a bit in the second half. We looked leggy. We have to regroup. We have got to move on. We knew that Millwall play direct football. I don't think Westy had much to do in the first half. A really tough second half. We controlled the first half, but the penalty gave them the encouragement they needed and then the second half they made life difficult. The penalty before half-time gave them that encourgament which they probably needed and they made life difficult for us in the second half no question. They play very direct and they have got players you have got to deal with and we didn't deal with them. The penalty was a big moment. I think Joey slipped, which was unfortunate but we have got to deal with that. We were more than in the game at half-time that's for sure. Second half the other team are allowed to play and they played to their strengths and we were found wanting in the second half. In my time as caretaker, the players have given me everything and we have got to regroup because we have got another big game on Tuesday. Insightful Neil. Would rather have said we threw away three points and there has been a round of f@@ks issued. We were a shower second half and you will see a reaction Tuesday.
