* The Original Unofficial "Official" Boro v Rotherham United Match-Day Thread *

[motownjunk]

definitely no deflection whatsoever

True no one closed him down to get a deflection.

 

[Borobuddah]

How many Boro fans there?

 

[breakthewallsdown]

Can't believe people are still blaming Steffen for that awful defending

 

[Joninho]

I see we have to take throw ins from the correct place

 

[mitch_at_merseyside]

We must be the worst team in the division at set pieces. You would expect your centre backs to get a couple between them over the course of a 46 game season, but barely create anything and it isn't even exciting when we get a corner or freekick deep in the opposition's half.

Half arsing it for weeks. Pathetic.

 

[Caretaker1]

Not so super cameron archer. Cant trouble 37 year old richard wood with his pace. The players are not giving it their Full A game.

Take this attitude into the play offs and we are stuffed .
Drop down the gears and it's difficult to get going again .

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Sigh... Poor day around. Injuries / crap performance and a sending off.

Clearly trying to go into the playoffs as the under dogs. Clever

 

[r00fie1]

This is crap.
What are we doing?

 

[futureboy]

We're poor. Can't find an attacking pass to save our lives right now.

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

9 men given jones is still on the field. . OMG

 

[dribble]

How many fouls has Rathbone committed.

 

[MVBoro]

The away play-off leg is going to be a big test. Don't want to take a massive deficit into the home leg (our home form won't always save us).

He doesn’t seem interested.

The keeper didnt move for a goal that went in a foot from the centre of the goaline. Fook me a school keeper would have saved that

Can't win the play offs at the Riverside either. Our record away from home hasn't been great recently.

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

We do miss Howson, Forss on right and Ramsey on the left. hope we get these back for the playoffs.

 

[h_m_boro]

Said to my daughter 15 mins into the game, I'd have much preferred to go into the playoffs with the Rotherham and Coventry games meaning something, being competitive.
We could easily coast in to the semis on the back of three defeats and some half ars*d performances....whereas the 5th placed team has had to scrap right until the end.

 

[MVBoro]

Just saw on the bbc text that if we lose this game, it would be our 12th reverse on the road. That's nearly half the games and would make the away leg very much 50:50.
