Yup, good that we’ve had some luck with McNair, and Steffen got us out of jail there.

It doesn’t look like we’ll stop these errors anytime soon, or even reduce them, so we just need to keep trying to score more.

At the minute you wouldn't be confident of us wining this 1-0, thats fo sure.

We have got better going forward since the goal. Prior to scoring we wee pedestrian and too many long balls. Since the goal we have started playing a bit.

 

[zzzzz]

Apparently playing all season with a hernia

Are we really that desperate? I very much doubt it.
Between Crooks and Djiksteel's vvank crossing!!!!

Spot on. Very much lacking in confidence. Tbh I thought we'd come out balzing all guns but it was the opposite. Got better though.

Hackney grew into the game as the half went on.

Crooks playing injured needs to go for surgery have him back by january.

Hayden Hackney

This post sums up that half for me

Decent half that after I eventually found a link. Hackney looks like he's played more than he has at this level.
Delivery on crosses needs looking at from the right hand side like.

Looks decent he's got legs and mobility should learn plenty next to Johnny howson. would be great if they could develop a good partnership

Yeah back to Rotherham hopefully.

Attacking the south Stand 2nd half which may up our game. 1st time I have seen Hackney , very impressed with him. Dijiksteel they are some posters above saying his passing has been toss on occasions apart from when he found their striker in our box, but he is doing quite well getting involved and he is getting better as the game goes on. Agree with the above 1-0 isn't enough.

 

[NZBoro1]

Sounds like Brum have come out for the 2nd half ready to have a go

 

[BMW E34]

Yeah back to Rotherham hopefully.

No he is still a good player when he is a 100%

 

[Red_is_best]

Jonny Howson’s black boots - stand out, no? By the way, good user name for somebody that

 

[Glover_elbow]

Hackney at least getting into the opposition box what a refreshing change

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

We need to wake up here.

We look like conceding any minute now.

 

[Laughing]

Bola is probably our best player tonight. You are right colgate, we look fragile at the back.

Looks a tidy player.

Made couple of daft fouls, but he’s done a lot right.

 

[Andy_W]

Steffens been great tonight, he’s nailed everything

 

[Randy]

Dijksteel's passing has been poop.

Good save from Steffen there.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

I don't want to be all negative but at this moment in time my guess is Brum win this 2 1, just in terms of the pattern of play and general feel.

We need to change something quickly.
