We are now teetering on the brink of relegation.

we have been in a relegation fight a long time. We average less than a point a game under NR nothing is changing yet he thinks we are playing well

I think it's got very little to do with the formation. I understand that when you play one up front and lose (especially at home) there is an instinct that says 'why don't we play more forwards and go for it' but we put two past Hull, four past Bolton and two past Cardiff playing 4231. We got nil against QPR playing 442. Chelsea played 4231 yesterday and could have scored a dozen. I am not advocating one system or the other. I am just saying it is more about players playing well or not however we set up. As a rule we have a goal or two in us either way. Our problems are defensive. We leak goals. It is too easy for opponents to get at our back four and when they do our back four just can't cope. A lot of that is to do with Smallwood and Green. They have three jobs. To protect the back four, to talk to and organise people and to keep the ball when we have it. That applies whichever formation you prefer. And they aren't doing it very well.

There was no excuse for yesterday. A team line up and formation chosen by a rabbit in headlights.

We are Rotherham United. We are used to going up and down. We can handle it. What're can't handle this s a white flag in January.

Now pick up your weapons and start shooting instead of hiding behind your shields and praying for luck.

Ferkin love it. Heman.
