    You're correct on this one, he's suspended. I'd rather Pollock than The Bloke from Chile but it's much of a muchness
    Martins needs a break, Asprilla has to start as does Andrews

    Just found out we have Andrew Kitchen in charge for this game. He's actually one of the very few officials who have been kind to us. Disallowed a Swansea goal in our 1-0 win and awarded the only penalty we've had this season in the 1-1 draw at Bristol City. Omens look good.

    He will be conscious that he needs to make amends for the above. A WFC player sent off for a minor indiscretion should restore balance.

    Its going to be that easy, its hardly worth us turning up to be honest.

    Ngakia will be back at RB, Pollock in for porteous (https://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/ryan-porteous.60025/ ref posts 2 & 18 )
    Martins can travel and carry the water bottles, at least his contributing that way. Asprilla will come in after his tap in on Tuesday.


    Expect a cricket score in this one.

    If the teams are announced and TDB is playing at RB im going to bin this game off. Im sure news of my protest will reach VI and he will see the error of his ways, make a public apology at half time on the pitch…

    Win ,lose or draw the season will just fizzle out now ..to Even think of the play offs we would probably need 10 wins and a couple of draws
    We aren't going to get relegated so maybe try and aim for top 10

    Rotherham have 3 wins in 31 games.
    Rotherham have lost 4 of their previous 5

    Enter Watford.

    Interesting, should keep things simmering without boiling over. But if Rotherham score first we oven't got a chance.

    Another sold out away end. Decent away day usually, and a trip to Rotherham makes you appreciate not living there.

    Great Post, best I have seen on here for sometime, I do not post very often, however followed WFC for 57 years love watching them, don't care what league they are in, so glad my Dad & Grandad first took me to see them in 1967.

    That’s ok. If Rotherham get the first goal, Andy will disallow it.

    Couldn't even manage that last season with the aid of a world class starboi (supposedly two but in practice HAH), so I'll be quite impressed, based on our current effort levels and trajectory, if that's not beyond us.

    Does anybody know any decent boozers for away fans, ideally showing the early kick off?

    If we do not win I fear it’ll be curtains for VI. I’d much rather him stay as I quite like him but as we all know Pozzo doesn’t hesitate to act if things aren’t going too well

    Perhaps not Rotherham, but if we put in a pitiful performance against them and lose at home to Huddersfield then he could be in serious trouble. I would not say these two games save his job, but he looked very rattled in the post match interview after Norwich.

    Groan on you Horns!

    Rajovic to bag another brace against Rotherham tomorrow. All we need is Sema to put it on a plate for him 1-6 yards out again.

    What I would like to see is a sudden act of getting our **** together:

    Wasn’t overly impressed with resigning Dennis, but we have so he probably needs to start no pint in waiting untill he is 100 fit the season will be over.

    my team talk would be:

    Dennis and Martins need to stop overrunning the ball, Martins has been trying to his credit , tracking back making tackles , but how about not losing the ball so you don’t need to.

    Sorry chack I like you, you might be great in the future but you need to be replace by Kayembe

    livermore, Kone , Kayembe do what you do best, Livermore go in hard and dominate the pitch, Kone, Kayembe drive forward , take some ridiculous shots we have seen you score from outside the box.

    Asprilla that was one hell of a goal, you are probably our single most talent player and I think you could be better than JP, Richarlison, Sarr, you probably won’t out at the end of the season show the prem how good you are

    Hammer it’s not your fault we keep letting goals in , you are probably one of the two most surprising players of the year in a good way.

    Hoedt keep shooting baby, keep the goal keepers under pressure, great crossing more of it please

    Porteous you mad Scottish ******* , your suspended , put yourself in a corner for a few weeks and think about what you have done , we need a hard man in defence but learn from Livermore, at the moment we don’t know if your going to tackle someone , let them pass or punch them in the face.

    Sema you are a king, dart down the wing, get a corner and start taking them like you did last year , if nobody is in the box, take it yourself and then go up to Dennis / Raj and let them know that is where they were supposed to be .

    Lewis , Andrews , Morris, TDB don’t listen to the haters it’s not your fault our strikers don’t score and it’s not your fault we keep playing a ******* mad Scottish man, run like ****, pass the ball (to one of our players) job done.

    Kayembe alongside Livermore has been the key to a vaguely functioning midfield this season.

    Can't get him back too soon.

    Yes, those two plus Kone are our strongest midfield. With Sema on the left, if Ismael persists with Dennis playing wide I’m not sure where that leaves Asprilla (or Martins for that matter).
