Certainly they were there for the taking, but we knew that before. This inability to win games where we create more is down to quality. From that perspective we are exactly where we should be. Warne and the team are doing really great. However, it's all relative. Warne might have to consider more game time for Proctor. There isn't any other way to get more goals and the defence remains prone to basic errors.

OK, it is frustrating not to win a game we should have won, but our performances continue to improve and a number of players look increasingly comfortable at this level. We got an away point. The bottom three all lost. Hull drew at Millwall which was the perfect outcome. Brentford continue to sink like a stone since they lost their manager and we have seen today that Wednesday really are relegation candidates. All in all today was a very good day for us. Next week is massive. Bolton play Leeds and Wednesday are at Swansea. If we can beat Reading, we could find ourselves six points clear of the bottom three and above our friends from Hillsborough. We need to get the NYS packed to the rafters and really give it to Reading.

Fantastic effort from the guys again today. Completely mullered Wednesday in the first half and to go in 1-0 down was the greatest injustice in football. We showed great resolve in the second half - after we went 2-1 up I thought we would take them to pieces. But to their credit, they played their best football and we couldn't come to terms with their midfield and attack for a good 20 minutes. However, we were the side most likely to win and in the last 15 minutes we really should have put them to bed.

We shouldn't underestimate the conditions today, emphasised by Rotherham's high clearance late in the game which turned completely around and was heading back towards our goal by the time it landed. It made defending the high ball very tricky. In the first half our midfield was superb - Vaulks and Towell were even '****y' in the way they controlled that area.

Lots of good performances around the park but I thought Taylor had a really poor 2nd half. He had numerous chances on the left to ease the pressure and to take us on the offensive but his lack of real pace and inability to beat an opponent were really exposed. I'd have been tempted to bring Newell on for 30 minutes.

Finally, congratulations to the Owls security staff who wouldn't allow me to take my lucky brolly into the ground despite the fact it was hissing down. Only ground ever to refuse it entry and it's feeling very hurt!

whiston01 do you think how Wednesday are playing flattered us abit. Can't have Forde & Taylor in the side. They've never been championship players, never will be. Add Palmer to that list. Reason we can't get that away win is obvious. We are lacking that bit of quality in certain position. Right back, Left winger needs additions in the January transfer window. Move players out I've just said aren't up to this level. Might need a midfield player. There's got to be something Warney dosen't like about Manning. I don't know about up front cause way we play we aren't going to play 2 up front. Ideally would like a left sided player who can at times support the loan striker.

GlennMiller I come out in a cold sweat with the mere sight of those 3 players names on the team sheet. Just get them out of the club & I'll gladly never mention hide & hare of them again!

When we were in this league apart from when Warnock was here it was little roll over Rotherham now it's well organised Rotherham at least we go into some games thinking I think we can win today. One player who has taken his chance with us is Smith remember seeing him play on SKY for Swindon when he younger looked very promising then then he signed for Charlton & Portsmouth wrong clubs for him give Paul Warne some credit for spotting him at Bury & signing him for nothing I thought at the start of the season here's a player who has got a second chance and is going to take it. Come on warney in January dig a few more nuggets out + Sign Marquis. Man City lost yesterday because they are scared of playing us in the cup in January.

We will not get a better opportunity to win an away game and that is extremely worrying. That was the worst Wednesday side i have ever seen and unless Allardyce (rumoured) or similar turns up soon i can see them going down. But they're still 3 points better off than us ! The chairman has got to loosen his purse strings big time in January otherwise we will not have the quality to stay up. It is critical we pick up maximum points before then however because the back end of season fixtures are frightening.Sincerely hope the head of recruitment has managed to spot some young and hungry hidden lower league gems. We don't want wet Premier lge kids just out for experience.

I agree I think that Wednesday side is even worse than under that Welsh failure, Yorath was it?.

I get worried that we rarely score when on top. Games, all games, have both teams taking control, we certainly had 35 mins of the first half and only managed to work the keeper twice. 2nd half nobody had it, even when we went 2-1 up, when they came outta that stupid counter attack shell I think they edged the last 15-20 minutes albiet us missing those glaring chances.

We have to absolutely start scoring more when on top in games, it will make life so much easier. This isn't about strikers either it's the mentality of the front 6-7 players, put your chances away, but I guess in any position those do cost money, however it can also be coached. C'mon Warney, Barker and Hammy, give em some attacking play sessions you know it makes sense.

By the way I don't understand the people who are saying we should have put Proctor on after we went 2-1 up.  The reason Wednesday came back into it was that Bannon was starting to get on the ball more.  Taking a man out of midfield would have compounded that problem and chances are that it would have had the opposite effect than people wanted ie it would have handed Wednesday the initiative.  I thought it made perfect sense at 2-1 up to stick with the formation that had got us there and that was working well.  Putting Wiles on with instructions to get in and around Bannon also made a lot of sense.  I don't think Warne could be faulted at all for his tactics - it was just a lack of execution in big moments that cost us.  And that isn't to have a go at anyone - they all gave 100% as usual.
