From what I can gather we outplayed Birmingham today..... even before the sending off. It's hard to be critical, but we do need to exploit the chances we are creating.

Like ourselves yesterday Script, getting a man sent off sometimes galvanizes a team and I, for one never like playing against a team of 10 - Leeds never do well against them.
We got Sheehan sent off (for nothing I'm lead to believe) today after only 9 minutes but yet managed to beat Swindon 3-1 on their turf. Happy as a pig in poo is what I was....
The beauty of this game is that there's always another game and the Charlton gamewill come around soon and you'll have forgotten all about yesterdays match. 7 points from 5 is nothing to be sniffed at - you'll do ok this season.

Rotherham grasped a point in the 6 mins of added time yesterday. We didn't deserve it, though. Rochdale were dirty...and it was only a matter of time before one of their men got sent off...but even then, we struggled.
We started this season as a finely tuned spitfire...yesterday we were a wright bothers prototype.
Robins keeps playing Taylor up front...he's useless at the moment, and our midfield was dire. Sharps our centre back, made a run with the ball in sheer frustration, but after the half way line, he didn't know what to do with it.
After half time, Taylor and Harrison were off, and Broughton and Rhodes were brought on. The game changed for the better...but it was too little too late.
If Mark Robins doesn't start with Rhodes and Broughton next week, then I think he is starting to lose the plot.
At the end of the day, it was a valuable point for the Millers, who are now on -6.

I reckon if you ask most Football Managers (if they were honest) they would tell you they hate playing against 10 men.
How many games have we all seen where the depleted team comes out on top.
I must admit, after seeing the "highlights" on The Championship, I am of the opinion Sheehan had to go. You can't go in with your feet (both of them) off the ground. And even though he seemed to get the ball, the referee had no option but to show him red.
