Rotherham United 2022/2023

Playoffs and promotion to the Premiership here we come, there's no doubt about it this time.

 

1-1(FT)

Swansea dominated possession but with what little possession we had we created plenty of chances and had a decent amount of shots on target.

It's hard to know what level we're at but not losing by several goals to an established team like Swansea is surely a good early sign?! the last time we were in the Championship we lost 3-0 to Wycombe at home on the opening day.

 

Flippin heck it's no wonder players run through walls for Warne it's like a Winston Churchill speech.

Tomorrow's game against Coventry is already in question as there's a pitch inspection today, they've been using the ground for the Rugby in the Commonwealth games so it's all worn and dug up.

Health and safety gone mad innit, the chance of someone falling over and breaking a leg goes from 0.05% to 0.010% which is a 100% increase!!!11 Follow the science. If you don't support shutting down the match then you're an evil person for wanting to break everyone's legs.

Formula One is best it only has to start spitting with rain these days and everyone bricks it and it becomes a farce.

It might suit us for the game to go ahead but who knows what will happen, I've seen some matches from the 1970/80's and they played on what can only be described as marshland in some of them.

 

Game is off, the pitch has been declared unsafe. Those rugby players weren't half lucky.

 

There's some photos of the pitch here:

I honestly don't know why they didn't just get on with it, a fixture pile-up is as likely to cause injuries as a slightly worn pitch but they don't seem to want to play these days unless the surface is like a snooker table.

 

We picked up 2 injuries in last nights game, we were let down by the health and safety control freaks they should have foreseen this coming.
