Rotherham (A) - 26 Aug 23 - Pre-Match Thread

[lnkstern]

Honestly, as a Yank who hasn't really ever followed the Championship very closely, I know almost nothing about Rotherham United.

 

But we have a week to discuss them.

 

Have at it!

[Stevosevic]

Aren’t these considered the worst team in the league….? 
 

A goal for one of our strikers would be nice.

As a Yank, you should be all over them, after all the game is being played at the New York Stadium.

I mean, they have the same points as Cardiff who nearly snatched something today and Boro who were one of the pre-season favourites, so it's dangerous to call anyone in the Bunfight League the worst team.

 

That said, you'd be disappointed to drop points to them 🙂

[Jattdogg]

5-1 to us.

[cruzFOX]

Let’s see on the day

[Pliskin]

0-7.

[FosseSpark]

Hermansen

Justin Faes Doyle

Ricardo Winks 

KDH Ndidi Casadei Mavididi

Iheanacho

[TrentFox]

I’d want to spread some minutes around for a couple and would give KDH, Wanya-Smilin’ and Doyle a blow :-

                    Mads

        Faes   Vesty Justin

            Ricardo Winks 

Albrighton Butch N’Didi  Mavididi

                  Iheanacho

Yeah but we're Leicester City a champions league side just two seasons ago. We're gonna batter them innit!

No that’s Sheffield Wednesday. You could argue they are the smallest club in the division though. Done well to compete. 
 

Seen us drop points in Rotherham within a promotion season

The Chuckle Brothers are Rotherham FC royalty. If you don’t know who they are, YouTube them - you’re in for a treat!

WIN

WIN

[Ric Flair]

We're not free flowing enough to suggest we'll score more than twice. It would be nice to see Hermandsen get a clean sheet.

 

At this stage I'm still very much happy for any sort of win, I don't see how Maresca gets the players he needs in so it's likely we're quite workmanlike for a good chunk of the season so keep those wins totting up and hope it gets us in the mix come the end of it.

[Simmo86]

3-0 Leicester

 

4 from 4!

Don't worry, I'd never heard of them either and I'm from England 

[Sir Shep]

Well we've being playing ok to doggo so far and won so I think we are due to play well soon, then lose! Also aren't these bottom so it's like a tradition of ours to lose to the team at the bottom although usually at home! Ah chuff knows, this division is bonkers. 

[AS78UK]

Let's hope the team prepare properly and don't think we would just need to show up and we will win.

FIGHT AND WIN!!!!

 

Sorry, had to be done....I'll get me coat

[FoxesWalk]

Based on evidence so far. 2-1 win, another late goal. 

[Fox92]

These will be tougher than people expect. But we should still be going there looking for a win.

 

I’m looking forward to it, new ground to visit for me and our first league game against Rotherham in nearly 20 years.

[lcfcsnow]

Blackett is one of their CBs, on that basis I’d play Vardy.

This - just find ways to keep winning in any way - he hasn’t got the tools he wants yet for us to be free flowing and beautiful  - keep grinding them out and all is good in the world
