This is greedy as definitely would have snapped your hand off for the last six results if offered where we were back then but just imagine how comfortable we would be looking now if we had managed to salvage a draw at Stoke. thought the same that result keeps them interested plus us more in it then should have been. Same goes for Wednesday away |

No surprise yesterday that first half was diabolical,think we were still in the dressing room.
Not naming names but they know who they are.
Thought we were lucky first half they could have been out of sight.
Then 2nd half we wake up three points in the end but this lot certainly do it the difficult way.
A touch fortunate really imo.

Cut adrift at the bottom, yet considering how well Rotherham played yesterday, you can see why this is such a tough division. one or two decent players, keeper and RB for starters - although keeper spilled two we should have put away |

Spot on bill especially fist 15mins they looked like rabbits in headlights they could not make a two metre pass and there was some shocking decision making polar opposite of the composed performance week before.

Only teams with an advantage are those that have just come down. The gap between bottom three and top six is not that big. Compare to the shitty uncompetitive Premiership, teeming with mercenaries and stuffed to the gills with money. |

I was also quite impressed by Rotherham. Not the worst side we’ve played this season on the day by any means. But just like the division as a whole with us there is just no guessing which version will show up

Stoke were terrible - that was the only really bad mistake Marti has made IMO, because that game was there for the taking. Blackburn looked prety poor too. Rotherham looked surprisingly good for a team adrift at the bottom. As others have said, this really is a topy turvy league where just about anyone can beat anyone.

That’s just football mate and why you’ve got to look over a few results rather than just one. Sometimes you get out-thought and/or players just aren’t on it. First goal was crucial and played into their hands. We could have gone 1 up but messed up. Our record in under Marti with this squad is very good. |

Got off the hook big time.
Poor for a lot of the game and allowed them to chase us down constantly and smother the midfield.
Too many players had an off day but luckily we got the win.
A good wake up call.

A good wake up call. Don't agree with that at all, Jimmy. Apart from first 15 minutes we were the better team. Came really close to scoring twice in the first half and bossed the second half.

Shite first half and this starting must win games slowly almost killed us. Willock playing in a central position was a turning point as he has the vision to play a pass at the right time and also have a pop at goal. Much better 2nd half and thought Dunne,Cook and JCS played well 2nd half when in our own half. The only poor pwrformance for me was Paal who was far too casual all the time he was on. |

Didn’t look great early doors but Rotherham threw everything at it and went ahead, more through luck than judgement. Can’t deny they looked like they could add a second for a bit but eventually the cream rose to the top.
Big performance from Willock but it’s what you’d expect from a player of his calibre.
Colback was immense yesterday. He makes the occasional mistake or rash challenge but that often happens when you commit so much to the cause, which he did yesterday.
Let’s face it, his negatives are why he’s playing for a team languishing near the bottom of the table, instead of one pushing for the play offs.

Don't agree it was a shite first half. Shite first 10-15 minutes, yes, but we looked the better team after that. Or did you miss those fantastic saves their keeper made from Frey and then Cook to prevent us equalising? We were all over them at that point and I genuinely felt confident we would go on and win the game, even before the second half. And so it proved.

All about opinions and 2nd half good but for me 1st half shite. Never missed anything and yes he did make 2 good saves. So much more purpose 2nd half and in the end we were good winners |
