I'm not having any negativity today. Going to be all in on supporting our players. *this may change after 3pm
Play a back 4 with Martins, Bayo (I'm afraid), Sarr up front, with Tobi playing the second half in place of Bayo, should do it!
Feeling nervous about this,l 2 good wins, think the team should be similar to last weeks ( not Bayo though for his twatish behaviour when he was subbed ) think in general any player coming back from bans / injury needs to be proving they want it as much as the young lads and shouldn’t be automatically back in the squad (looking at you Kamara ) Watford 3 Rotherham 1
Bayo? After the sulking... really Bilic? Saying that though, Adu-Poku and Adeyemo are not 90min starters and we have nobody else bar Martins.
Love that Slav has kept Morris in, will be a big confidence boost for him. I was hoping Adeyemo would be ahead of Bayo but can understand why not.
Bayo is better off the bench, but at the same time, Adeyemo probably is as well, so I can accept that. Adeyemo off the bench again would be nice though
Bayo is...unreliable in front of goal, but he should have enough attacking intent around him, fairly confident we can get the job done
Big call keeping Morris in, especially when we're playing a back 4. Ngakia another player out with a hamstring injury lol! Good thing we did sign another right-back. Will be interesting to see how Ferreira gets on, but I'm a tad nervous about it given how shaky he looked defensively and Rotherham will put in a lot of crosses. Good to see Adu-Poku on the bench, seems deserved. Attack will be the best form of defence with that team. I could be wrong here, but this seems to have the makings of a pretty open, high-scoring game at both ends of the pitch.
Ferreira starting really rubbishes Bilic's comments about him being not needed. I think he's doing a good job, but he was wrong on that one.
Am I correct in reading one of their players was booked after half an hour for time wasting? Modern football!
Yeah. Tried the old slapstick to me, to you 'What? I have to take the the throw in?' routine. Fair play to Rotherham doing a Barry Chuckle tribute act.
I think he's been fine, just given absolutely no options. The one time Sarr actually makes a run he played a great pass for him. We're badly missing Pedro. Sarr just can't be arsed to step up
Home and away results against Rotherham sums up our season. Really wish Sarr would just fark off. His attitude absolutely stinks
Should have thumped these turds. Thank goodness that will be the last we see of Bayo as well. Araujo all the way.
Disappointing not to turn it around but a point gained and RU were always going to be obdurate, especially having duffed up Blackburn last week. Onwards and hopefully more returning players and better finishing next week.
I'm not sure he has the ability people think he does. I think he's just a bit of a **** player with some pace (which he refuses to use).
I'm convinced Asprilla will never score a goal for us. So much technical quality and he gets his feet muddled every time he's got a chance
Disappointing result, I thought we would get 3 points. Still in the play off spots though its tight right down to 10th. On to the next one.
Injuries aside, we are nowhere near where we need to be on the pitch, in terms of having a team who will threaten as the season goes on. Miles off it. And I simply have no idea what Bilic’s style or plan is still. We are dropping points at home against some truly poor sides - all because they turn up with a bit of fire in their belly. Not really acceptable. And Bayo is a horrific excuse for a striker. There ought to be an independent enquiry into how that deal ever came to be.
Failing to get 6 points from home games against Blackpool and Rotherham is pretty poor. Mixed bag from Bachmann again, some terrible defending at times, midfield never controlled the game and we were carp up front. No idea what the plan was from Bilic today, hope Sarr does something I guess. That seems to be the go-to idea.
Sarr absolutely non-existent. Asprilla seems to be extremely highly rated but I’ve rarely seen much from him. Misplaced passes, weakness and shots going miles over the bar. What are people seeing I’m not? Really should be winning these games with the teams we’re playing over the next month. Poor.
