I don't mind that draw. Its one we are more than capable of winning and a decent away day. Memories of Hot Shot Bobby firing home a hat-trick in front of a packed away end to virtually seal promotion. __________________

At least getting to the 3rd round (and losing?), would be seen as an achievement rather than the buy in crash outs we've had recently. Sure Warney will be all over this and want to progress - wo 'should' be too good for Crewe __________________ FA Licensed Coach & Referee

Change of mindset required I think. I know we've had some very ordinary Cup performances of late, but with Rotherham's current form and with the amount of goals that we've banged in recently, no-one is going to fancy their chances against us in the FA Cup this year! __________________

True Glenn but also with our defensive frailties they also should fancy getting a goal or too ☹️ __________________

Let's put some perspective around these defensive frailties. In Sep/Oct we have played 10 league games. We have scored 19 goals and conceded 10 - out of the last 4 league games we have had 3 clean sheets. I think most English teams would be well satisfied with the frailties that we have to endure, particularly when each goal conceded is countered by almost 2 goals for.

I understand that our defence is not perfect, but neither is any defence in the league. The facts are, based on hard evidence, we have an adequate defence and a very good attack. It'll do for me!

Onwards and upwards.
