It was right in front of where we were stood, just a few rows back. I don't think he was impressed. 🤯 He'd only just calmed down, (very slightly), from the disallowed goal. 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millwall however have 6 so not a strong argument. Edited March 3 by Lee Added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester away 😮 Bizarrely and sadly we basically need to do that again, another twice. This division is so extraordinarilly competitive this season that we daren't ease off at all.

TBH I said a few weeks back that I thought 48-51 would be needed but I really do think it will be 50 minimum now. The threshold is going to be higher to stay up as Rotherham have collected so few points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I be right in assuming that it would need to be a targetted 50 points, including taking the points off our direct competitors at the bottom?

Gamblor Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think the points total needed will be high this year. As a point of comparison, is there a source for the table in the 2012/13 season at this stage of the season? I think that was the highest total we’ve seen in recent times at 54/55 points and it would give an idea of how far we are away from that. If there isn’t anything then I’ll knock something together in Python, but just not tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there isn’t anything then I’ll knock something together in Python, but just not tonight. Okay, so curiosity got the better of me. The below is how the bottom of the championship looked after 35 games in 2012/13. This isn't necessarily a table that existed as it's how many points each side had after they played 35 games. Points totals a little higher than today above the relegation zone, but 4th/3rd/2nd bottom very comparable to today. At the end of the season, Peterborough were relegated on 54 points so it's not inconceivable that a similar total could be necessary this time.

KrolMong Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Rotherham were awful. I expected them to come out and make it a scrap, but they were outfought, outrun and outthought. We were comfortable throughout, and our only issue was us not taking our chances. Defensively, we didn’t have to deal with much. But our midfield and attack caused issues all the way through the game, and that extended to the subs. We now go into two home games needing at least one win. But, if we play well, we can get something from Leeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if we play well, we can get something from Leeds. I never felt "comfortable" whatsoever at the game. Missing multiple very good chances in the first half was stressfull, as was the ruled-out goal: we all know what often happens when you miss loads. Then in the 2nd half we stopped playing football and fell to their level of scrapping it out: biff, bang, wallop. We started giving away free kicks too. (It probably didn't help the anxiety levels that we were stood low down and just to the left of the 6 yard box: it felt like we were under threat, too! Feels much 'safer' in row 36!) In passing, a brilliant clearance by Bannan from near the goal line, 2nd half. Don't know if it was on target but it felt like it was at the time! Thankfully Danny rang the changes and our subs wanted to play football again, superbly so for the goal. (One black mark for Baz: when we were trying to manage the game at the very end, he kept giving them the ball back!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fight, no bottle, no passion in a local derby. They looked like they were just there to pick up the wage. Not a team he recognised as a Rotherham team.

It is interesting on the subs, I agree we weren't playing football in the 2nd half but in my mind I questioned what Rohl was doing to address that. The commentators equally "reserved judgement" then 5 minutes later we scored with a cracking team football goal. And saw the game out reasonably well. Daft with Moore I always thought the subs came on with no game plan how to use them. With Rohl not the case in the main. To go back to the goal, I love that type. Looks simple but far from it and the difference a proper team move where for a long time its seemed to need more individuality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl71 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 21 hours ago, mkowl said: So basically mid 60s points over the course of a full season. 1.33 points per game. Need to at least match, indeed way it's going over achieve that in the last quarter of the season Since the November international break, which was Röhl’s first real chance to work with the players without immediate results pressure, it’s been 29 points from 19. That would be 70 points if replicated across a whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Loved how we just managed the game out easily at the end. They didn't cause any bother, no stress, can't even remember them having a shot on target. We could have, and hardly should have been out of sight by half time. BUT. Bravo to DR again for spotting the change that he thought was needed that came to fruition very quickly, exactly as he thought it would.
