I feel changes in team selection Pod, a bit of a shake up or wake up call for one or two And so a better performance from the start and no looking back after the 1st goal
I hope you're right OKK. However, having read the programme notes from the last couple of games it seems likely this style of football will stay. Evans is 'evolving' the team, which is great if it works. I'm all for evolution not revolution. At the moment, I feel the personnel we have aren't adapting too quickly.
Nevertheless, we are pretty much half-way through the season with 25 points. A second half with the same return should hopefully see us safe.
Yes Pod we are half way to the magical 50 points mark I just feel a bit of tweaking with the team and Bingo! Same style with one or two different players, Frecks for Green and Bowery/JCH for Pringle/Ledesma (with Lawrence dropping into midfield) ?????
10.30 a.m. inspection carried out by referee. Sun breaks out at 10.45 a.m. Groundsman decides to start taking pitch covers off at 11.00 a.m. despite wind chill factor being minus 5 degrees centigrade. Second inspection to be carried out at 12 noon. Referee returns to ground. He is unable to push his key into pitch. The pitch surface is rock hard. Match is postponed. The referee goes home.
But the Millers and Blackpool players are taken down to the beach by their respective managers. There is a truce between both teams. They have decided to have a kickabout on the sands watched by some bewildered fans stood on the seafront choking on their fish, chips and cappucinos.
The teams play for one hour as the tide decides to turn. The game comes to a close. For anyone who is still reading this fantasy you may want to know the final score. Go on I'll make one up. How about a draw?
Bit concerned about this one. Mainly because the last time I remember such a nailed on away victory was our last game at the Darlington George Reynolds Folly when they were going out of the league and we were looking forward to a handsome victory (6th February 2010). We lost 2-0 and it could have been many more. They had also beaten us 3 weeks earlier 1-2 at Don Valley.

At first I thought your comparison was a tad overinflated, but you are right we should be fairly good favourites for an away game. However, I think if we were in the top 6 it would stand more of a comparison.
Didn't a championship bottom 3 side recently beat a top side? Anyway, I take nothing much on form these days and from what I have seen in the championship , this time around the margins are very small indeed. Teams seem to be winning and losing each week on such fine margins.
Let's all not forget that we only played em a few weeks ago and as weak as they looked that day, we still couldn't get the win. Wednesday only beat em with a pen at home recently.

Very very confident with a big bet on the 7/5 so generously given by Mr Chandler....0-3 is my prediction and I am usually spot on with these things!
Disagree with pod...I think we are adapting extremely well to the new style which has been alien to our resident players.
We need to exploit the opportunities when created at a much faster rate...that will come soon.
Well done to Steve for changing and well done to the players for embracing the new play.
If the Huddersfield game was anything to go by, we can play the style for two thirds of the pitch really well. Adapting to it up front, not good enough at the moment. There's very little incisiveness through a defence. Apart from the last 5 minutes Huddersfield had it easy. Some are adapting, others not so.
