Rotherham United 1-4 Watford Fc - 16/03/2021

Bloody huge night for us, we march on.

COYH!

 

Cameron Carter Vickers must really, really hate us - first plays for Luton, then goes to Muff and *********s about this season, and THEN misses that point blank free header, refusing to score a game-sealing third.

 

Excellent game, away win, 4 goals, great results in other games (so far)....what a Tuesday!

Football's great, innit?

 

Good results all round. Can automatic promotion really happen?

 

Easy street.

Brentford slip up, Swansea losing. beautiful.

Nice assist from Gray for the 4th. thought he did well when he came on.

Pedro yet again no goals and missed an easy 1 on 1. Get this clown out of my club.

 

About as good as it gets. Comfortable win, rest some players, results going our way. Lovely stuff.

Glad Zinkernagel is showing what he's capable of. Looks a great player now.

 

Didn't miss an absolute sitter though did he Leigh-Anne?

 

Good game

4 great goals , hope Sarr is ok

Gray should have scored a couple , but actually I thought he was better than he has been , had a few shots so at least he was in the right place

was a bit worried with all of the substitutes but fair enough turned out well

Brentford drew and we have now caught up in terms of goal difference , if Swansea lose we are looking good

 

Then he should have got into positions to score to help your bet.

 

Seriously enjoyed that! Top performances right through the side, and so dangerous up top.
Even got some rest in for Kiko and Sarr (though what does King Ken have to do for a bit of a breather?!)
Liking the balance in midfield, Hughes/Chal/Zinc seem to complement each other nicely. And we know how good the front three are.
Loved Pedro tonight, but I think Zinc is my MotM.
Next!

 

As usual, you didn't even watch the game, so how the hell can you possibly be making comments on how individual players played?

 

Well, that went about as well as it could have.

3 points away, goal difference improved, rested key players for much of the 2nd half, got some valuable minutes for Ngakia, Gozzers and Sanchez, were entertained by the ineptitude of Gray and Success and it looks like results have gone our way, so that we are now in the box seat!

Great success!

 

Great win. Not the best performance in the world. Bachmann very shaky but made a good save from the penalty that never should have been given. Thought we were wasteful up front and sloppy all over the pitch, but Rotherham were so poor defensively and we won easily by playing below our recent standards, in second gear.

A few injuries which maybe a concern. Hopefully Sarr is just a precaution. Took his goal really well, as did Sema. Gray....my god.....that's probably his worst ever cameo performance.....utterly pathetic. Zincker improving and good to see Gosling pinch his first Watford goal. Never thought I'd cheer a goal scored by him.

Sanchez continues to look decent, as a guy to bring off the bench to help close out a game. Success a couple of good touches, but took 10 seconds before he fell over, so that problem is still with him.

Referee was just appalling.

Other results going for us....which is fantastic. Swansea losing and Brentford dropping 2 points. It's all in our hands, but this great run of results cannot stop. We have to win the next 5. Then we'll be in pole position going into the final 4 games.

 

It was lovely to be 3 goals up and cruising, so the Gray and Success show could be enjoyed as just out and out entertainment in its own right.

 

I thought we'd struggle without Cleverley, but fair play to Zink and Chalobah for stepping up.

How come 'The Millers' are allowed a fan in to their home games? He'll have a sore throat tomorrow morning.

 

Could be a very good evening.

We continue to finally be showing the same attitude to away games as to home games, which is a big positive.

Difficult to pick a MotM as there were so many excellent performances. Bachmann, Kiko, Sierralta, Chalobah and Sarr were all immense. That was also probably the first game where I thought Zinc didn't look a bit out of place amongst such a confident team.

Success seemed sharp when coming off the bench. Gray also resembled a footballer again at times and did well for Gosling's goal (even if he did mess up some other opportunities later).

Only downer was Sarr going off with an injury. It didn't look massively serious but could keep him out for the weekend. However, it could also be a useful excuse to keep him back from the internationals at least.

 

Oh, and the Yorkshire commentators on my Rotherham rivulet were solid, honest lads. Enjoyed their banter. Best away commentators I've heard.

 

The conversation was about getting the necessary goals in order to assist in winning his bet. I was merely pointing out that Pedro played the full game and didn't score either in order to help him achieve it.

 

When I put my head on the pillow tonight all I will hear is "C'mon Millers" 2,227 times.
Professional and as polished as it needed to be.
The only blot on the landscape was a possible injury to Freddie.
Fingers crossed but comfortable enough to switch over for the last three minutes of grab a granny game.

 

I did like his comment about some yard gaining we tried for a throw-in, "I've not gone that far on me 'olidays!"

 

If your bizarre sucking off of Gray has lead you down the path of having to criticise our most naturally gifted player to justify yourself, maybe it's time to pick a new battle.

 

Didn’t see the game as it’s my sons birthday but sounds like we played well. 4 goals, 3 points, neither Swansea or Brentford winning. Fair play to Xisco and the squad. To go from the horror shows of many away games, Coventry being the one that brought about change but most were awful, to where we are now is incredible. We have given ourselves a big chance now.
slightly concerned that some people saying they hope Sarr is ok? What happened

 

After tonight saw two more players score their first goals of the season, EIGHTEEN different players have now scored for us in the Championship this season.

The goals are well and truly being shared around.

 

"I don't go that far on holiday"

 

Just to clarify. He’s a man mounting an even bigger man, making him such a enormous man that he would be described as a man mountain.

And none of this is outing our best CB.

 

Very, very easy win and to be fair they looked like they hadn't played football for ages with the number of times the ball rolled off the pitch or they miscontrolled it.

I've no doubt we could've scored more but priority was taking it easy, second half was basically a training match. Well done to Gray for being alert and forcing the save for the fourth but what on earth was he on for the rest of that performance? Particular highlights being the one where he played the ball one side of the defender then just ran off in the other direction and the control/volley from out wide where no-one will ever know if it was a shot or a grossly overhit through ball. Both looked like moments from FIFA where you press the wrong button (joke shamelessly stolen from Shoutbox).

 

What a night. Feels like it could be pivotal if we follow up against Birmingham and Wednesday.

Whatever happens a great late season response from Xisco and the squad.

 

What you have just said is not correct.

 

Shut up, Leigh-Anne

 

Glad I spent the £10 well worth the money, wish we could get to the games though.
