Just seen the first goal on X and Grigg looks half a yard offside from the side camera angle.
In fact ignore that , he probably plays the cross back

That was pretty much Rotherham's first team apart from I'd say two at most. You need to pick another side.

Dreadful attendance at that one. Think they were fearing the worst after that slob's wrecking job.

Jacobs was very good. Looked another stonewall penalty, but my West Stand experience was sullied but the constant moaning of a cpl of old guys one in front of me one at the side of me. Tippy tapped rubbish Cook, take Oldaker off Cook, not good enough Cook?unreal

Could have been Walton, Bonnyman or Brittas?

Def not Walton or Bonneyman

[azabrown]

No, I saw Walton in the Kop for the first ever time (personally) today. I think he's usually in the West. Or at home because it's too cold ;-) (sorry Tim, you were too far away to say Hi, but I'd recognise that slap'ed anywhere!!)

Every home game we guess the crowd, I'm usually between 100 and 200 out. Today, I guessed at 5400. ...North 600,East 900,kop 1600.west 2300...there were certainly more than 4800 there.

There was, 4,887

I was in W, ie C3, in the last seat, No84, before W4. So similar area to you, it was head scratchingly ludicrous.

I was Row I 85 funnily enough! Probably same folk

I said 4800. No way 1600 on the South Stand. 900ish.

Dobra worked hard but was man-marked for much of the game however his goal was an absolute joy to watch.

More accurately, outside the area he consistently ran into dead end trouble. Contrast that with the mayhem he causes inside the area. He's actually a five foot four striker. Can Cook find the right formation?

He was in the East stand near me. Fairly quiet and reserved today. I'm going to be controversial by saying he does talk alot of sense about football.

Agree on this one,my guess was 5000 - 5250, looked like but obviously we were wrong.🤔

They had a player following him everywhere he went.

And, at his height he towers over Markanday. Another one that is quite capable in the area.

Wish he would show that sense when he posts on these boards then rather than starting multiple eccentric topics if we happen to lose or drop points at home but having nothing to say if we actually win.

Don't quote me on this, but I have a feeling that Markanday maybe on our books next season.

Is that because of the James Berry rumours of him going the other way?

Hibbo98, on 02 November 2024 - 12:57 PM, said:

Hope so! Cracking player. I half expect him to be recalled and loaned to L1 in January though.

He's on a season long loan. I thought they don't tend to, if any, have recall clauses.

Missed that he didn?t say that in his interview that I remember.

Agree with others that Markanday would be the favourite as Blackburn might think they?ll get a fee in January

I've not read anywhere that they have a recall clause.

I thought the same but the DT saying that Blackburn didn?t give him clearance for the FAC in case they wanted to recall him in January. If they didn?t have a clause then he would have played today. DW saying similar

We did. Nearly caught the ****er. Cook was going barmy and rightly so.

Sat in W4 today, great seats but feckkkkk me there?s some miserable people sat in there. Average age of about 70, know nothing about football and just moan all the time. We joke about the ?gerrit forrad? brigade but genuinely heard this loads

dobras goal today sums up dobra and cook in a way, whenever dobs recieves the ball in the final third this is pretty much what he is thinking to try and do, today he did it, well done dobs, many a coaching team would try and coach that out of a player to play the percentages, he is encouraged to keep trying it with the belief in him that he will make it happen, so for the times he does run into traffic (and he does) credit the management team for letting him keep trying, that's his game, let's not coach that out of him. On a slightly different note, madden today missed a "madden" chance and that's 2 recently that he should have netted at the south stand end... BUT i'd be more concerned if he wasn't there to miss them, he will convert and i reckon he'll still get close to his target of 20 this season...

Stop it ! Brittas is comedy gold. Long may he continue

I actually love Brittas (6 pint in)
