Rotherham (H) 3-0 - 23 Dec - Post-Match Thread

[RowlattsFox]

Their left back defended well but was helped by him having someone either just behind him or on the inside to put Fatawu off from going past. And Fatawu also went into his shell a little bit after failing to get past the first couple of times and started passing backwards.

Ultimately, there is a reason why we have made the best start of any Championship team after 23 games in history, and it's not just because of our squad. I have a UEFA B coaching license

Brill thanks mate grateful for your contribution to the cause

Think the main commentator on Foxes Hub must have been on the Xmas sherry at half time...

 

...second half it was Mavididly!

 

Pretty sure Fatuwa was also pronuonced as Fatawoowoo.

 

Shocking unprofessionalism!

Not great was it from the Ipswich fan. Taggs was saying the ref should've blown early during the stoppage time as it was just going through the motions. That maybe the case but it doesn't mean the ref can decide to cut it short

24 shots and 11 on target means more to me than the scoreline. The last 4 weeks, we have become much improved going forward. 

 

We have gone up a gear, as clichéd as it sounds.

Definitely  that's the main reason why at half time I was so disappointed because we were far too slow and lacklustre.. we weren't struggling because they were holding shape, I felt we were letting them

 

Upped a gear in the second half   2 quick goals, 5 players got a rest, scored another and no injuries.. merry Christmas

Whilst it's true the full back played well, let's not forget that later in the half fatawu burst past him and set ndidi up, and should have won a penalty... so not bad going, considering the full back did relatively well....

Only just remembered, wonder why it took the peeps doing the scoreboard so long to put the second goal up?

When it did finally go up there was something of a cheer.

Perhaps they were busy physically restraining the twat responsible for the shite goal music last season?

How many passes was the Casadei goal? Looked immense

They were set up and well drilled defensively, good at blocking, holding off players, grabbing and shirt pulling, just like Hull and Millwall were but they offered very little goal threat unlike the other two.

Found it funny towards the end when Vester did the same, blocking off one of their players whilst another of our players took the ball, showing we do learn from the opposition.

Good win

That's obscene. I knew the Casadei goal was good but it's only when you see it through from the start that you really see how ridiculously good it is. Whilst Rotherham are utterly abysmal, there is no denying how good that goal is yet it hasn't been spoken about at all in the media that I've seen. If that was Man City scoring that goal, the media would be in full on wank fest

In fairness, every time he went to go by him he just shoved fatawu with both hands and the linesman did nothing
