Well the way this looks like it is going a 2-2 draw would be a miracle, and only getting thump 3 -0 would seem quiet nice, when it could well be 4 or 5 zip by 4.45.
COME ON YOU GILLS LETS GO, HELL I WOULD SELL MY " SOLE " TO THE DEVIL FOR A POINT THIS AFTERNOON, or a piece of Cod or Haddock, which ever he or she prefers.

I understand the players Evans bought in were all freebies , but most of them seemed to have arrived from some of the top clubs , and the on loan players have been held on to by Premier Division clubs , so I sure as hell would expect them to be playing better than they are at the moment. Is it that players are playing out of there normal position, or is it that Evans can't coach, you guys are there watching the games, what the hell is going wrong ??

I'm not sure what's going on now. Pringle came in with a fanfair, rhetoric of "he's amazing player who has been superb for me in the past" and "fans are going to love him". He plays a couple of games and now cannot get off the bench. Olly Lee was outstanding for Luton last season and was a coup getting him on loan but he also is left with just bit-part sub appearances. The strikers alter so much they cannot build up a partnership, Peter Lloyd remarked that Tucker needs to rest as he has been forced into too much too soon when we have an experienced replacement (given the number 2 shirt) who just isn't fancied at all. Evans won't play the players HE brought in. WEIRD.

Reading the report on BBC it seems Bonham was his usual brilliant self ,even saving a penalty, Evans had a bit of fire in his belly and got booked ,and the other nine stood around like mushrooms in a dark corner, still and covered in sh*t, doing nothing.

I only saw the result,but a frustrating result.It looks like we were poor,and didn’t help ourselves.Rotherham are a good side,but we shouldn’t be losing 0-3 at home to them.
