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

Unfortunately Barry won't be in attendance, unless they dig him up for the day!

Chuckle Brother. Saying that, apparently, they were two older brothers that were also a comedy duo.

 

Also, I think their mascot is related to Bungle.

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!

They are called the Millers because of the flour mills that were associated with the area. That's about it really. 

 

I usually have anecdotes, and memories relating to our rich patchwork, character and variegated history/pedigree of our provincial league clubs. All that I can say is that this is very possibly one of the most boring, underwhelming clubs in the entire football league. Credit to their loyal supporters for enduring such bland mediocrity and not defecting to the slightly more glamorous Owls or Blades.

Just in case you wondered, it's pronounced Rother-um, not Rother-ham. I'm sure that you knew that anyway. :thumbup:

Mads

Justin Faes Doyle

Ricardo Winks

Praet KDH Butch Mavididi

Vardy

 

Subs: Jakub, Vesty, VK, Ndidi, Choudhury, Kelechi, Albrighton, Marcal, NEW WINGER/10

Would need Ricardo and Winks to switch positions then Ricardo go to left back when defending otherwise Justin ends up as a centre back

Incredibly harsh. They are overachieving just by being in the Championship alone given their small budget and their best players always leaving. If they can survive again it will be a good achievement for them.

 

They have a decent history for the size of their club and fanbase and only recently won the Football League Trophy. Yeah, not much to clubs like us or Leeds but it is to clubs such as Rotherham. They are far from "bland mediocrity" and even if they were football isn't about supporting the team who wins everything.

KDH is currently a square peg in that inside left position as he constantly needs to turn inside and gives it away on his right.

If hes on the left je cam drive in and bobs your uncle. Not sure why it hasnt been tried when we invert players all over the shop.

...with Madivadua, Albrighton, Praet and McAteer available I am not sure why you would have a midfield 4 such as that!!!

  I hope we are not going to look to put square pegs in round holes all over again.

Hermansen

Justin, Faes, Doyle

Ricardo, Winks

New RW, Casadei, KDH, Mavididi

Vardy

I strongly doubt he drops Vesty and he really doesn’t need to. What RW signs and is integrated enough to start this? Wanya deserves the nod in my opinion.
