We worked hard for the win although we conceded again from a lack of focus. We seem to be in a decent groove but we need to get out of way of needing to score at least two goals to get a win. Rutter is a strange one. When he first and for a while, he looked like he'd never played football in his life. Now look at him. James, at his best, is a very good Championship player Farke is bringing the best out of him. I still think he will always struggle in the Premiership. It's taken a while to get his confidence back. All in all good chance of promotion. Probably fro. Play offs. But without investment be careful what you wish for. Getting hammered every week isn't much fun.

If he doesn't start Struik and Byram for Cooper and Firpo, then I will start to have doubts about Mr Farke. I mean some decisions you can sort of understand, but surely this one is a complete no brainer. Isn't it? 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Farke mulling over rotation for Swansea game .
Yeah absolutely, rotate out
Cooper and Firpo please.

Without dwelling on not winning the game yesterday, it is worth noting that Jimmy was on fire and is starting to look like an absolute beast. One other player that should be mentioned was Poveda who came on later, thought he played and attacked with a lot of positivity. He certainly opened things up and made a nuisance of himself 👏🏻.

We looked flat tonight. Too many players feeling the internationals in the legs.
After the early goal went in we didn't push for a winner or 3.
Cooper was OK when they were bombing the ball in the first 30 mins but as soon as someone ran at him he was lost.
But still two other mistakes before the shot. Mez maybe should have been a bit further over. The lad could only put it that side I think.
But it was I front of their goal where we should have done so much better. Our shooting and decision making that really let us down.
We had 5-6 good chances to score at least.
If we could shoot we would be lethal.
On to Wednesday.

{Ed025's Note - you were ok i would say Ben but the level of finishing was very poor mate, i still dont know what Dan James offers myself as i think he is a headless chicken, the defence done well imo and Rotherham were not much f a threat all game, but if you are looking for promotion i think you need a goal scorer as a matter of urgency, but i dont know how your finances are to enable that..

That to me was an arrogant display.
We played as though we thought we'd walk through them and deserved a win without trying.
Severe lack of urgency and pace in our passing (when we played fast we looked like scoring every time) .
Bielsa would have been screaming at them!

Take Summerville out of this team, and we're actually pretty average!

Where VAR when you need it?
Didn’t put our chances away, and when we did it’s off side.
One of those nights, it’s a game we could have lost considering our luck in this game.
A point is a point but there’s no doubting, it should have been three.

Awful performance, especially the second half. Piroe wasn’t at the races, neither was Rutter, and Archie didn’t have a great game either. James should have come off 20 minutes earlier, and I still don’t think Poveda will ever add anything, he runs, dances and produces very little.
Didn’t enjoy watching that at all.

24th inthe league and we struggle even with the possession. Reality check again.

74% possession wasn’t it? Not much of a struggle there, unless you mean we did nowt wi’ it?
