Shut the **** up "Bornamiller" or whatever you're calling yourself this week. Get a London Road season ticket if you love "EVO" that much, meanwhile can't us real Millers fans have some pleasure & contentment over a really good season regardless of what happens play off wise.
Strangely Brad - you bring up "EVO" more than anyone and who started this "thread" ?
He's part of our history but I think you're the first one on this quite delightful blog - for want of a better name - to resort to swearing - abuse - but suggestion for the IT people behind the scenes....
Could you produce a "Throw the dummy out" button...?
It seems some folk need one!
All the M's behaviour ; Millersmad & Millwall.

Who swore? Certainly not me!!! As for my comments I was just pointing out that I preferred PW's brand of non "industrial" football compared to previous seasons AND our manager's carefully thought out non "scattergun" approach to player recruitment. His non "cringeworthy" post match interview technique is also quite nice. UTM
Well we have a player location app on TS's phone now....strange that every team must have one so the player capture is still a financial matter.
TS ( for me ) has been extremely astute NOT throwing money at the championship as a few managers would have told him to do. But does the plan include a shot at the title or just making money from the preliminary rounds.
Really looking forward to seeing what our very astute chairman has planned for us.
Didn't like the way we capitulated and I'm of the opinion that we would have had a far better chance to stay in the championship if the plug wasn't pulled and the 3 year projects were supported via a couple of transfer windows BUT - BUT - BUT We had so many things missing ( like the player recruitment guy ) so TS re-routed us to league one to re-group.
I'm comparing SE & PW as managers not how good a person they are.
SE negatives: scatter gun approach followed by his revolving door.
Positives: will go down in RU history as one our most successful managers. Two promotions including an unforgettable day at Wembley. Keeping us up 1st season back in the championship. His use of the loan system.
PW negatives: needs to toughen up. Got to prove himself in the championship.
Positives: this season, better than anyone could have expected. Same he's used the loan windows to our advantage.
Why oh why do we have to keep compare managers. Why not compare Reg Freeman with The 'Doc', Ian Porterfield with George Kerr, Ronnie Moore with McEwan. Doesn't get us anywhere and the old arguments about SE v PW are so worn out and hackneyed. We have PW as manager and he's doing a grand job.
We have one or two posters Calypso who can't wait for Warne to fail, just because he isn't Evans or Evans-like. The recent visit of Peterborough obviously gave one or two the chance to make a comparison.
The risk Warne runs in common with all mangers is that as soon as we have a bad run (which will inevitably happen if we go up) there will be plenty ready to turn on him very quickly. He was getting heckled by a few during the Rochdale game for not getting us a sixteenth unbeaten game in a row or whatever it was and at Charlton there was a bit of stick in his direction for not making substitutions earlier than he did.
As you rightly say, Warne is doing a great job. It has been refreshing to just have the one manager this season! We need to get behind him not only now while the going is good, but also when the going gets tougher.
In modern football crowds are so quick to turn and Chairmen (Tony Stewart included) feel under pressure to respond. Apparently Shrewsbury got booed off last week and Paul Hurst got some stick. Three bad games in a row and supporters want blood. I don't think the majority of ours are any different.
Smiler I'm not knocking Warney. All I wanted this season was to keep the season alive as long as possible. He's surpassed that easily. Want us to go up now see if we've learnt anything from the last time. Tony Stewart said today in the tizer we've found the right formula. I'll never knock TS but I'm not sold on this head of recruitment. Only player we've signed whose got a contract with RU who has improved us is Smith. Unlucky with Proctor.

"Reg Freeman with The 'Doc', Ian Porterfield with George Kerr, Ronnie Moore with McEwan"
Who do these manage in our league at the moment. My comparison was more of an Arsenal v Man U comparison. The specialist diet v the hair drier. For me - you need both - at the right time and place.
You can't be blazing mad all the time and ( in reality ) no manager is. The good ones convey passion without being destructive.
I'm referring to us, Rotherham United. I don't give a monkeys about any Premiership side or any other club quite frankly.I do however find it very tiresome that a loathsome individual is somehow held up as some yard stick with which to compare our current manager. There is no comparison; and serves no purpose other than to stir the pot.
Let us criticise Warne by all means if it is backed by reasoned argument, but the position of 4th in the table cannot lie. Whether we gain promotion or not, this season has been magnificent, and no right minded person can possibly argue that what PW has built from the absolute trash can calamity of last year has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Any comparison with SE is pointless. For what its worth in my view SE was not phenomenal, he was lucky and ditched us when the going got tough.
"avoid getting into spats with anyone who has an agenda and will never change their mind. There is, after all, no point in that"
Hear, Hear !
No point arguing with some who has fixed ideas on certain issues.
The interesting aspect of all interactions with "people" is that - those that "agree" with any individual is enlightened and those that have other viewpoints have agendas.
Just a fact of life.
Everyone sees the game / history / politics / religion from a different viewpoint based on a lifetime of experiences that are very personal.
Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his Doc Martins.
Warney will be judged on if he can get us up. Until then Steve Evans will have the call over him.
Warney can get us up but he's got play a side to win games in home leg of the play-offs then if we get there same at Wembley. That will mean playing 4-4-2 with Smith & Lavery up front with either Palmer or Towell missing out. Forde to play on the right who'll track back to keep the midfield solid.
