Team v preston

Yes fortunate to be ahead at half time but we have players on the bench who can make a difference. Come on Millers this is a massive half.

I thought Johansson played a blinder Vickers as released by Lincoln for a reason and he is third choice for a reason as well and johansson did some cracking saves. Another 3 PTS in a grab and smash game Onwards to cardiff and qpr

Goalkeeper spilled the ball for their goal some areas of his game ok just not big enough in those situations

LOL, ridiculous as ever.

Our keeper was fouled for their goal. Evans shouldn't have been on the pitch after that foul on Johansson in the first half. I do wish Johansson was a bit taller but he has played four games and we have won three of them, and he seems to be a good shot stopper and also a good talker. That was a great effort all round. Backs to the wall at times but strong defending and we always carried a threat. Smith and Crooks given an hour off. Great team goal for our second. Brilliant stuff.

3 pts all that matters. Any championship level keeper cross for their goal would have been food & drink. I want us to give ourselves best chance of staying up. Johansson in goal doesn't, I don't like how he dives after balls gone past him. Game today we missed Lindsay when he went off. Giles 2nd half our one bit of quality his one touch to make room for the cross which Ladapo should have scored with. Move on to Cardiff at the NYS tues.

well done to the squad, those players that came in battled and and gave everything, the loss of Lindsay was a real blow but Wing started to show some class the pass for the winner was outstanding. Our keeper pulled 3 outstanding saves in the first half the one from the free kick was wonderful, just his finger tips. Yes he should have done better for their goal but he was fouled, perhaps that needed a puch in those conditions. I agree with smiler Evans should have been sent off for that foul on the keeper, it was reckless, studs up and at no time did the ball leave the keepers control. It was a wonderful 3 points and do not under estimate the psychological pressure other teams are feeling by our current form, birmingam 1 win in 12 there are other teams that we are getting closer to as well, Luton are not safe yet lose 3 or 4 games and they will be in the bottom 6. The players and the management need a lot of credit for how we have been playing

Indeed. Completely ignore the fact that we are third in the Championship form table as of this evening with 13 points from the last six games, and hope for more defeats and Paul Warne getting the sack in the future. Does that about sum up your mentality?

See you are enjoying the win in your own way. I thought we battled hard rode our luck in the 1st half. Better in the 2nd half not picking a star man out it was a team effort just a word about Hirst did ok today put a shift in. As for their goal being a foul I could see nothing more importantly the ref did. It was another great win for us teams dropping points around us especially the owls.

I'm over the moon. You and your bruddah, however, are only content with picking tiny faults from a winning performance. Let's not forget
that in the game that you watched today every player in a Millers shirt is light years ahead of anything that you ever were. So let's just criticise from the comfort of our armchairs, after all you have contributed £8 to the club today, which, of course, buys you and your bruddah the right to slag off professionals playing at a level that you never attained.

Glad to watch the millers on ifollow try it if they were selling season tickets first in line. The club does not run on fresh air chairman is happy with my contribution do for me. No slagging off from me tonight I am getting soft in my old age well just a little still think goalkeeper was at fault for their goal.

After the disappointment of England's rugby performance, it's time to return to happier memories of today and reflect on RUFC's performance. I thought Warne played a blinder in his team selection against a side who are struggling for form. Resting key players was not just an opportunity to give the rest of his 'mates' a go, it was an absolute necessity given the intensity of the fixtures this season.

I think the absence of Wood in defence was most noticeable. We were constantly threatened in the right back area and Iky was called on far too often to cover. Wood's presence and his leadership would have noticed the problem and rectified it - I'm sure.

Up front, I'm afraid Hirst and Lapado are not a winning combination. At a stretch, either of these partnering Smith or Crooks might be reasonable but not the two together. Unfortunately, I see nothing in Hirst to convince me that he is effective at this level and I think he would struggle in League One. When Sadlier returns, I hope he can slot in with either Smudge or Crooks to allow a level of rotation.

On the plus side, our two new loanees look the business. Giles didn't have too many opportunities to advance today but when he did he was class. Wing has composure and can pick a good pass. They both afford PW good options.

I thought Johansson had a great game but was really disappointed with his contribution to their goal. Nothing to do with his height - it was a mistimed attempt to catch the ball under pressure. Perhaps he should have had more protection from his defenders and had a free kick been awarded, no-one would have been surprised. However, he made some great saves throughout the game and he was brave. Compared to Iversen's performance, he was the best keeper on the pitch.

The best thing about today was the fact that we go away to a club on the verge of the play-offs with no inhibitions and every expectation that we can get a result. With Smith and Crooks on the pitch, there was a confidence, even a swagger, that they are a threat to any defence and that is a massive bonus considering the start to the season.

The season is not over by any stretch of the imagination, but what PW, his staff and the players have achieved so far, when compared to the riches that surround them, is deserving of massive credit. If only we were there to see it live!!

That free kick though? That normally happens to us doesn't it?

Great save from Johansson on the line - very very brave but either side and would have been a goal.

Not sure he was fouled for their goal, to me it looked like his hands were on the side of the ball and it squirmed through...no biggy...he'll learn from it and safe to say even with that we were in credit with his contribution today.

Thought we might struggle when JL went off, we looked far better when Crooks, Oly & smudge came on and Wilsey should have scored.

Super pleased with how its going...really tough 4 weeks coming up though
