Title: Rotherham v Boro match thread
Post by: erimus74 on December 24, 2023, 06:03:50 PM
After a brilliant performance against West Brom on the 23rd we travel to South Yorkshire to face bottom of the league Rotherham to hopefully continue to win enough points to get in among the playoff pack

Our football results this week have been like waiting for a bus, you wait for ages then 3 turn up together, following the 2nd half collapse at home to Hull City when we were comfortably winning 1-0 (if you can be comfortable at one nil up that is) then shot ourselves in the foot with a crazy 10 minute spell we end up losing the game 2-1. We then travelled to South Wales, again with a depleted team & came away with a 2-1 win, 3 days later we progressed to our 1st cup semi final for 20 years on Tuesday when comfortably beating Port Vale 3-0 & capped off a tremendous 7 days with a magnificent performance at home to West Brom, when all things considered, the best display of the season for me, which not only moved us up 3 places but now, 3 points separate us from 5th & 6th place teams, with one point separating the Boro & 7th place, the Championship is such a tight league, considering our injury list its nothing short of miraculous that we have done so well with so many 1st team players missing

A magnificent team effort for every individual player v West Brom for our final Saturday fixture of the year with Barlasar having his best game in a Boro shirt v West Brom, right from the off he was beating a couple of men then playing the ball off, his through ball to Engel for the goal was quality,  he was sort of running the show against a team I thought would overpower & out battle us in midfield, but far from it, hopefully he kicks on from here
VDB, gets better each week, 19 years of age playing, out of position, in a foreign county, what a player he's turning in to
Engels game is far better for me than Giles, not so much when putting the ball in the box but far, far better defensively, I would think that Engel won't be far behind Giles on assists come the end of the season
Johnny Howson, if the West Brom commentator is correct will start, if selected, his 299th Boro game
Fry, Glover, Rogers, Silvera, excelled also, Jones for me, is important in a big part of our defensive play. Dijksteel had his best game for along, long time. Greenwood with his constant running & pressing, unsettling defenders played a big part in West Broms poor form on saturday

It was nice to see McGree & Coburn make cameo appearances on Saturday, especially McGree who is such an important player for us & sort of proved his case when he came on & his little nippy footwork almost set us up for another goal we could have scored

Listening to Michael Carrick on the BBC Tees podcast after the West Brom game you could feel how excited he was with that performance, as opposed to how flat he was after the Hull defeat
After doubting him & the recruitment team following the first 6 fixtures that seen us sit bottom of the league when the team build was in its early stages he's slowly getting us playing to how we did last season, controlling the game, keeping the ball, whereas last season, we had some big players to finish off our excellent moves, this season we have our own young players who are finding their feet in the Championship & in time, will come good

The Rotherham fixture, our penultimate game of the year, is a completely different scenario from the past 7/8 fixtures, in the fact, the teams we've faced have been, top two, down to top half the table opposition, Rotherham are the opposite, rooted to the foot of the table, 9 points from safety, only 2 home wins this season & minus 27 goals, without a win since the back end of October when they beat Coventry 3-0, big win, so its in them to create an upset

Not saying it's going to be any easier than those games mentioned, I would think Michael Carrick will send out his team in the right frame of mind but one thing I'll expect from Rotherham, they'll put up more of a fight than West Brom did


The 1st Rotherham v Boro fixture was played on the 4th September 1954, Boro losing 3-0 with 2 Boro players making their final appearances on that day, William Watkin, moving to Mansfield Town in June & Joseph Rayment moving to Hartlepool United in July, both in 1955

We've enjoyed 3 x 4-1 wins there & a couple of 3-0 wins yet I would happily settle for a 1-0 win, just to keep ticking along, the group we're among will start to fall away as the months tick by, maybe the 4 play offs will be contested by 6, 7 teams, lets make sure we're one of them

Leeds got beat at Preson, who climb to 7th, one thing I dispice in todays game when it showed the Leeds keeper getting sent off, the pathetic Preston player rolling around when the Leeds keeper put his hand on his face, he should be disciplined, for me that is the only reason VAR should be used in our game, nothing more

But it'll never happen because its more important a goal is disallowed because the scoring playets tie nail was infront of the defenders toenail yet a player can cheat to gain an advantage & its ok

Maybe its politcal, cheating is a labourite, toe nail a tory 😉🤣

Mainly one way traffic but frustrating in the final third from us

Can see Coburn & McGree introduced earlyv2nd half for Greenwood /Silvera & Rogers, even though Greenwood could have had 2 we seem to fall down when hes on the ball

Still rather have Engel than Bangura mind

Fairly turgid stuff against a team with absolutely no ambition whatsoever. Hopeful we can nick a goal but 0-0 is a distinct possibility against these spoilers.

Awful performance, we sluggishly went forward 1st half but 2nd half we were poor

Rotherham offered so little just prepared to hold out for a draw, but then out of nothing they score, we only have ourselves to blame, a lacklustre performance throughout with no standout players

Silvera continues to launch bals into orbit, surely the coaching staff can get hold of him on how to hit a ball, what you need to do with your body, we cant encourage him to just blazingly put the ball in row Z

Typical Boro hey

And thats what happens if 3rd Division calibre players fail to take gilt-edge chances against hapless opposition. Trying hard not to fault the effort though, seeing as how one-sided it was. Ultimately separated by a fluke and a clear penalty not being given.

That's made you Xmas for you. Nice to see you happy.


We lost, that's it, we are in the last 4 I will say that again last 4 of a major cup, still 3 points off the top 6 with the January window on its way.

I am disappointed, but that's it.

I am sure you are the bloke who is crying we are shite on BBC Tees. Evidently Carrick needs to go.

With the amount of new players brought in it was always going to be hard season, hopefully next season with 12 months behind them we could see different players, time will tell, hey

Mind one caller on the phonein said something I bet noone would ever have thought of, he texted, get a 20 goal a season striker in, amazing 😉

Trying hard not to fault the effort though, seeing as how one-sided it was. Ultimately separated by a fluke and a clear penalty not being given.
ha ha ha ha ha


That's made you Xmas for you. Nice to see you happy.


We lost, that's it, we are in the last 4 I will say that again last 4 of a major cup, still 3 points off the top 6 with the January window on its way.

I am disappointed, but that's it.

I am sure you are the bloke who is crying we are shite on BBC Tees. Evidently Carrick needs to go.




Hey up, its Mister glass half-full with his detached from reality bullshit again.

Like I said last week, stick to wimmins football, you clueless fantasist.

2 questions for you Mr Football.


1) Who do we play in the last 4 of a major cup.


2) How many wins off a play off place.

2.5) depending where you read we had between 75 pc and 82pc of possession, as you are the self styled expert on all things football do you think Carrick and the tactics right or wrong?


Ho ho ho

The fact we are still fortunate to be in with a shout of a top 6 position is down to the mediocrity and inconsistency of other clubs around us. Take away the top 3 - possibly 4 - and you have a hapless clutch of teams who can win a game, lose a game regularly.

To prove a point, we have lost more games than won - and still in there!

To me it was complete folly going into the season with just 2 supposedly lead strikers. And I see this being played out. Coburn? Won't make it as a goal scorer at this grade. The Coffee Man? Presently needs far too many chances to convert one. Support players? Can't rely on them scoring every time.

Blott has a point when citing 3 points off a play off place. But wrong if he thinks this is down to our ability - we're as poor and inconsistent  as the majority of teams in this division.

how do I know that you and your mate the football expert Bud moaned about the Sprouts being not quite right.

Can't be arsed to answer you about Gibbo - numerous examples of his poor/ incompetence as an owner, you think differently. Take the number of managers we've gone through in recent years and his incompetence at handling financial management. But of course your rose tinted specs will not allow you to see through the mismanagement.

It does demonstrate your blindness if you think the team is capable of achieving top 6 - without the "assistance " of others in the league. As said, we are no better- or worse - than 10-12 clubs around us. That's the reality so get real

the art of discussion is to back up your position. I gave you a very long list of major things Gibson has got right. You answered with the gem Woodgate was a weak choice. But by your logic so was Karanka, Robson, McLaren and Southgate, in that Gibson gave all of them their first manager roles. See what I did there I destroyed your point.


Now you destroy mine.

Incidentally what do you mean by assistance?

You are correct except it was a perfectly legal transfer of the debt into shares to be held by Gibbo

But don't let that get in the way of a good old moan eh?
