JRC well beaten there. 

That's going to happen a lot this season - we only have two players above 6' on the pitch. Set pieces are going to be a big issue for us.

Always wrong side of his man. Absolutely defensive basics, stay goal side. 

[rovers11]

Dolan and Markanday are not up to the level we need imo.

[West Yorks Rover]

Oh dear.

[Tugay-is-God]

It's gonna be a long old season...

[ItsRoverZ]

2-0 game over and diabolical defending, getting pummeled by the worst team in the league btw 

[booth]

Bizarre sending off for Rotherham.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

unmarked header.  Rotherham highlighting the basics if the championship. Height and pace cause problems. 

We have neither - been like that for 3 yrs.

This is why you need some experienced players, youth will get you so far. At the moment Dolan does little but give the ball away and Leonard is learning his trade. Get Ennis on

[Bethnal]

Cannot believe how poorly we defended that free kick. There were gaps for every Rotherham player to run through.

[Exiled_Rover]

Love that from the referee tbf. 

[OsloRover]

Onyedinwa or whatshisname sent off, second yellow for talking to ref. These officials are crazy

[Trinidad Rover]

Game over. Move on.

Lots and lots of work to do this transfer window.

We are a long way short of a squad capable of competing in this division.

 

 

[B16Rover]

Refs a fruitcake but let's take advantage

[OldEwoodBlue]

What a joke of sending off.

Who made these rules up FFS

[Tugay-is-God]

What a strange red. I guess we'll take it though. 

[yankfan]

This ref has lost it…not like he had it to start. It’s wasn’t even a foul on Carter to begin with. 

[Nuttall is lost]

Game over.  

[booth]

Got carded for "excessive celebration" then another card for saying something else to the ref after Carter challenged him.

[Bethnal]

This is a very weird game.

[BigBar]

JDT struggles so bad at times, players werent at it after half time. Sauntering around and so sluggish.

Asking for a yellow not saying something.

It's always been a yellow card for gesturing that a player should get booked - just few referees ever follow through with it. 

[Sweaty Gussets]

Need to get some subs on, go 2 up top and be brave against 10 men. 

[ItsRoverZ]

Height, pace and physicality ..3 things we just don't have,  tippy tappy footy to get out of this league is very hard
