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

[Bilo]

Turn up with the right approach and attitude and we'll have too much for them.

 

Nacho needs a goal for confidence.

Anyone got a spare ticket... It's round the corner from me, but of course all away tickets are sold out and I doubt will ever be available for us lowly memberships holders 😭

Me too - I’m thinking of turning up on the day and chancing my arm

[ARM1968]

Are we playing RotheringHam?

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

 

I have had to learn many, many pronunciations for various clubs over the years.

 

First was Leicester, of course -- Lestah, do not sound it out.  I regularly have to teach people how to pronounce it; I have heard some very creative pronunciations over the years.

 

Manchester -- drop that A, Mnnchester.  Residents thereof - Mancunians.

 

Bury - Berry, not Buury.

 

Reading - Redding, not Reeding.

 

Southampton - S'thampton.

 

Bournemouth - Bornmuth, not Bernmouth.

 

And I am entirely lost regarding Cockney rhyming slang.  I have to look it up every time.

Will we continue to play "to me, to you" football?

I hope not. It's boring

[Chelmofox]

Score early and we can win this big. They are going to sit back and try and absorb everything and an early goal might make the, take some more risks. 

[lfu]

Their goalkeeper, Viktor Johansson, was in our U21s for a couple of years (2018-2020) a few seasons back. Last season he made the most saves in the Championship. Should be a nice reunion for him

 

 

 

[Fear Of The Fox]

PL team goes to a play another KO game. Finish them and get another 22 wins. 

[whoareyaaa]

If we go into any game expecting it to be easy then that will be our downfall, if not we should win this.

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

 

I mean, they’ve done ok, but this seems a bit of over the top as a reward for their performances

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

A goal for one of our strikers would be nice. 

And for this reason, it'll be the first proper test to see what mentality Enzo is instilling. 

If we go in thinking we're Premier League then games like these are banana skins.

[Harry96]

Potential banana skin

Casadei in for Ndidi

 

Then we can do some rotating against Tranmere on the following Tuesday

[Daggers]

[SheppyFox]

Anything less than 3-0 is failure, complete “trash”.

[Ric Flair]

I feel we're a stronger team with Ndidi in it, can't believe I'm saying it. However, the bloke was a warrior for us and rather than feel confused or embarrassed, we should be thankful he's showing some green shoots of recovery.

[Guest nathan.]

This will be tougher than people think.

 

Massive game for them and they will be up for it.

 

0-1 Leicester

Looked a million times better on the ball yesterday, pretty sure at one point I saw him do a fancy little flick and it came off.

Incredibly harsh. They are overachieving just by being in the Championship alone given their small budget and their best players always leaving.

I know - it was a joke nothing more.

 

However, irrespective that they are overachieving, the fact remains, they are still a crashing bore of a club, lacking character and identity, with a giant teddy bear as a mascot.
