Wagner did a real number on us tonight and how we got a point from that I will never know. Udders played through the midfield quickly and turned our centre backs on numerous occasions. Their shape in midfield also nullified our attacking options.
Anyone who thinks next season will be cake-walk with Warnock in charge is in for a shock.
Although it seems no-one has yet picked up on the fact that the two teams who have performed well against us, Forest and Huddersfield, both utilised wide-men to bypass the Halford-Smallwood combination in midfield. Good managers do their homework, so expect more of this next season.
However, Warnock will have made a mental note of tonights performance and it will be fascinating to see the changes he makes to counteract these tactics next season...because we have been sussed out.

Neil Warnock has already said what we all know we're limited. But we've made up for it in organisation & effort + getting best out of players we've got.
Next season they'll be changes. What I've seen assuming these players are here only players certain of a place are Camp, Broadfoot, Mattock, G Ward, Halford & Frecks.
Totally agree, Warnock is on to it but is keeping morale up and refusing to condemn players. Which is right. However, heads will roll next season if we are to make any progress.
Good to see someone reading my posts rather than reading the username and replying with insults.
Loathe as I am to encourage the self-aggrandising comments of someone like TTB who clearly loves the sound of his own keyboard, I have to reply to this one purely because the entire premise of this ridiculous post is wrong.
We didn't lose to either Forest and Huddersfield so how does it follow that we have been 'sussed out'? At the time of both games a draw in these 2 games was exactly what NW was looking for I would suggest. Forest aren't as bad as their league position has them and Huddersfield has always been a difficult game in my time watching the Millers. Our best performances have been against the top half sides anyway and those kinds of clubs (Derby, Hull, Boro etc) will always play to their own strengths rather than tailoring their team to tactically out-think 'lowly' Rotherham. Derby put out a weakened side as did Boro - this wasn't down to tactics, they came a cropper against a side they thought they would roll over and beat easily and Warnock did them - I make that a tactical victory to NW rather than evidence that we had been sussed out. After all, only a moron would say a team battling relegation getting points out of teams in the top 6 had been 'sussed out' surely...? And now he suggests that teams are adjusting their selection and tactics to play around Halford? Give me a break, he ain't that good. Oh and as for 'bypassing' Smallwood - good luck with that, he starts as CM but plays across the field so can't be bypassed with wide men. Wipe the vitriol out of your eyes TTB and you may be able to read a game properly.
If we had we a high class finisher in the team we could have had both the Forest and Huddersfield games put to bed by half time, we just didn't take the chances we created. That's how football is sometimes. It certainly isn't evidence of sussing out or tactical naivety.
This post is final proof that TTB has very little knowledge about the club he pretends to support and the game of football in general.
I like to think of him as the Jeremy Kyle guest of the MB forum..
