Better than 30pts I suppose, but still it's a huge kick in the teeth. Talk about kicking a man when he's down. It has to be all about regrouping this season. Try and make sure they claw the points back and set themselves up for the season after.

Maybe Leeds are the exception, but Rotherham could take heart from what they did last season and build up a strong spirit and it could help them grind out the wins needed to climb the table and move away any worries of relegation. Longer term what will happen to the club? They have been told they must move back to the town within 4 years so hopefully that will happen and the club can rebuild itself, but of course, the people of Rotherham must get behind the club and show that they do want a football team in the Borough and that means not going to watch Wednesday or United.

It's now -14 and we're out of the re;egation zone. lol
I've heard RMBC are putting £500k towards the £750k that Stewart has to pay the FL to ensure RUFC moves back to Rotherham in 4 years. If this is true, it's looking good for us getting a community stadium; RMBC will want their money back.

If you concentrate on the battle with Bournemouth and Luton, your league position might take care of itself. If the new ground opens at Parkgate, it means it will be a lot closer to me than the Keepmoat.... I could get there in 10 minutes. I would never dream about going over to the dark side though

It was fantastic, scriptman. I wouldn't have missed it for anything.
We played like a championship side. Every player gave 100% and it was a pleasure to watch. Pablo Mills was as powerful as ever. He always gets stuck and wins the ball. He's a good captain, and his penalty obviously inspired the others.
Joseph got red carded, and had a standing ovation from our fans as he left the pitch.
I'm still in heaven...it's going to take a while before I come back down to earth.

Mark Robins comments after wednesday game. See link. Good news about the new striker, we need a big strong lad up front. link

You know why Rotherham are playing well don't you foo? It's because they have fantastic training facilities at the Keepmoat Joking apart, it's a testament to Mark Robbins that he is able to get decent players going to the club. Listening to the radio, there's a huge sense of togetherness at the club..... but they will need that throughout the season.

Another good win for us, scriptman. I didn't go yesterday, but i've read the reports, and the team seems to be settling down. Our no.3 Mark Lynch (full back) scored two cracking goals by all accounts. I didn't rate him in the friendlies, but his play has really improved.
Ryan Taylor is still weak, and keeps getting pushed off the ball, and although he gives 100%, he just can't finish...so yesterday's goal that he scored will have done wonders for his confidence; and get the fans off his back.
