In truth this was daylight robbery, their goalie was MOM by a country mile.

The substitutions made us much worse, so what was the point, I can’t believe these players can’t do 90 minutes with a 2 week break coming up. If we keep the first 11, we win the game.

Bazunu’s positioning for their goal was awful.

When Rotherham were pushing for the equalizer the lack of urgency on the break was naive in the extreme, to play tippy tippy instead of using the space - I think this is what caused the booing at the end.

Clearly play offs is the best we can hope for.

As it is all so close in the Championship table, it would have been far better to go for more goals - not only to kill the game off and secure the win, but also to increase our already piss poor goal difference, which could well make a difference to our final position.

Scoring so early and dominating gave a false sense of security to the players and manager alike. Everyone else could see it was obvious to go for more goals - especially with our awful defensive record of 1 clean sheet, stretching back more than 20 games !!

So to adopt the boring tippy tappy shit for the 2nd half deserves all the criticism it gets. Sure we had 80% possession and the lion's share of chances but we always gift the opposition chances as well. After scoring so early, we should have been going for 4 or 5 goals, not trying to keep it 1-0.

It reminded me at times, of when we took the lead in Prem games and reverted straight back to defence mode. That didn't work either !!
