We were excellent. I wouldnt be surprised if Everton put a sizeable bid in for Olosunde, he was that good. He made France's left back look daft at times. I cant fault the substitutions. We have got so many more important games coming up and we have had so many out, it is important to keep players fit and at the same time give them all some game time. They will all be needed. We can take plenty of confidence from the fact that we more than matched a very strong Everton side. Best possible outcome for me - we were excellent and we havent got another unwelcome cup game in the fixture list.

Doesn't matter about today. We need strengthening in for next Saturday not end of January. Left full/wing back to start with. Forward next. Send loan players back. Hope Robbo is fit soon. Vassell move on get Kayode back.

Same old Mantra. Everton, 5th in the Premier League, struggled to cope with Smith with Crooks just behind him. But then, you gave Crooks the 90 seconds verdict. He was excellent today.

About time Captain Pugwash😁.

A couple of thoughts for Gwru.

If you hadn't been in such a rush to get it wrong about Olosunde in the first place you wouldnt look so daft when you have to change your mind. The same applies to about half the squad.

You decided we were ultra negative today based on what you saw on paper. Again, too quick to judge. We were far from negative where it mattered - on the pitch.

Finally, when you have had a look at the highlights you come back on here and tell us in what way either of Evertons goals were in any way down to Wood's mobility (or lack of). If you rely on Twitter for your information you are in trouble. It is largely populated by people like you.

What is your problem with Twitter I don't go on it myself but those that do are millers fans entitled to their opinion whatever that maybe. As for Olosunde me and my amigo were calling for him to put into the first team a few weeks ago. Could not understand why he wasn't playing as I haven't seen the game live I will listen to fans that have.

Twitter is not occupied by people like me cause I don't do twitter. Read it like today. What matters now is the championship starting at Derby. Hoping Robbo is back soon to replace Wood. I've already said we need a left full/wing back & forward not end of this transfer window for next Saturday. Got 4 games between now & end of this transfer window we don't want to be on catch up points adrift by then. Need to get players out not up to this level. We know who they are. All loans can go back to their parent clubs to start with.

At the risk of stating the obvious Gwru, the fact that you do not do Twitter does not preclude the possibility that lots of people like you do use it. Plenty of Twiitter users are prone to knee jerk and repetitive ill informed opinions. Many of them think that having a platform to spout their nonsense somehow legitimises or normalised it. Does that sound familiar?

It might also be worth adding that by reading Twitter you are part of the community.  You did rely on it to inform your opinion of today's game.  You don't have to be a Twitter poster to be a Twitter user.

I do look at twitter if it it is good enough for our great manager ok by me. Used it to see what the team was if there is to be a signing next week no doubt a name will pop up. If I do that more than happy to be part of the community. I bet most of them on Twitter will look on millers banter as a waiting for god site.

Excellent bar a couple of niggles. Everton couldn't cope with our high press. Said many a time if there's one thing Warneys coaching has improved upon is ball retention. Just think if Ogbene and Oly could have gone at that left back? Niggles... Both goals carbon copies of split centre halves. You play three to stop that happening it's schoolboy and has to stop. We must be one of the weakest teams in the country going forward. Too many players have had their time and aren't good enough. Smith seen enough, couldn't hit a barn door, Ladapo.. Still laughing in Plymouth, Vassel.. even Blackpool wouldn't take him back, Hirst see ya not fit to wear ya dad's boots, Crooks plays a false 9 on the basis he had 6 weeks a year ago where he couldn't stop scoring... He is not a goal scoring midfielder just stop it, play Wilsey there. Its massively concerning our most threatening, keep you guessing, goal threat is our right wing back. Barlaser... brings nothing and can't even take a set piece anymore. If you can always have a goal in you as a team you're always in with a shout. Unfortunately we're not bad up until the final 3rd then we're garbage. Recruitment needs to be better. 2 good players out of 20 isn't a good stat. Can't knock the effort though but the lack of ability up top will be our undoing
