    Manager for League One

    Paul Simpson.

    There's nobody to pass to

    Connolly played out of position and isn't great with the ball and Carey is like the invisible man for the majority of games, it's no surprise that we aren't zipping the ball around with purpose.

    Get the new manager now.

    Relegation is extremely likely, we have currently got a losing mentality, don't tarnish a new manager with the situation caused by McCarthy and Appleton. What the owner should be doing is making sure that we are ready to appoint the new manager virtually as soon as this season ends. If this...

    Do we deserve to be where we are ?

    I think this due to a combination of not having a dominant central midfielder, injuries and suspensions, bizarre team selections and ultimately two bad managerial appointments.

    Where are all these people who thought

    We haven't got the players to grind out ugly 1 0 victories, we have a set of players who grind out ugly 1 0 defeats! Prefer us to have a go, with a 4 2 3 1 formation that uses attacking full backs and Bowler and Poveda from the start.

    Team for Reading

    I understand people wanting Connolly in midfield, he has many qualities but passing is not one of them. I can also see why some want a recall for Madine, and it will probably happen, but he can't run and he hardly ever scores. The squad is lacking quality in every position except maybe centre...

    Secret cross party talks held about Brexit issues

    I've grafted for 40 years since I was the age of 14, for the last 15 years I've thought I might like to live somewhere near the Mediterranean and it was a possibility. Now it isn't. Not overly concerned about lorry drivers, nothing I can do about it. Not bothered about the sovereignty thing...

    Can’t beat a Saturday when it matters

    I remember that game, cars rolled over on Bloomfield Road, old women having their shopping bags taken from them, cabbages kicked down the street, Stoke fans stretchered out of the ground but still having enough energy to snatch Blackpool scarves off kids in the South Paddock. Vivid memories, all...

    Would you throw Madine straight back in for Reading?

    We're better off with him on somebody elses bench! Dereliction of duty by the club not to bring in a mobile physical forward that can score. We went after Bishop and didn't get him somehow, we should have carried on looking. There has to be somebody better than Madine that we can afford!!

    Poor effort but people need to calm down.

    Reality is you can watch it from the comfort of your own home on a firestick. Save on the ticket price and drink cheaper, better beer and eat cheaper, better food. Not ideal for the club but it is a harsh reality.

    What’s going on?!?

    Looks like we'll save a few quid by not paying McCarthy a bonus, unfortunately we lose millions by getting relegated!!

    Secret cross party talks held about Brexit issues

    Maybe 1.74 million Germans in their 50s and 60s have taken early retirement and moved to Portugal, Spain, France, Italy or Greece. Who could blame them, we used to be able to do the same, we can definitely blame the loss of that freedom on Brexit. Of course if you are a millionaire Brexiteer...

    Rogers

    His fitness levels don't look great to me, maybe that's why he doesn't start.

    I won't be buying any season tickets if McCarthy is still in charge next season

    i We've lost to a Southampton reserve team, got well beaten by a good Boro side, struggled to get a point at home to a Huddersfield team who are in such a bad place that they have just sacked their coach. Not sure why you are so certain that all those players you name are doing so well under...

    I won't be buying any season tickets if McCarthy is still in charge next season

    I think the point he is making is that shit football from another era that doesn't suit our best players will not keep us up. It will almost definitely get us relegated. Its a reasonable point to make.

    Team for Rotherham

    I really hope he doesn't pick this team but his post match interviews concern me!! Lavery was so bad at Boro, Madine isn't available(a blessing in my opinion) so hopefully MM is forced into picking our best 11.

    Team for Rotherham

    The majority of us know that Athers team selection should start on Saturday but my guess is McCarthy might go with Maxwell Connolly Nelson Thorniley Husband Dougall Patino Trybull Lavery Yates Hamilton Hope I'm wrong but it wouldn't surprise me.

    Mick on Josh Bowler

    I understand that Bowler has to do some tracking back and tackling and closing down but obviously he gets selected for the other side of his game. When Mick was playing did a coach ever say to him your defendings good but you have a shit first touch, you can't beat a man and you aren't pinging...

    A MONTH AGO

    I'm hoping that the lack of fit centrebacks and the suspension of Madine will force McCarthy into picking the potentially decent 4 2 3 1 that the make up of the squad should be screaming at him to pick. If he has arrived with preconceived ideas about how football should be played that don't take...

    Team for Rotherham

    What were you watching! Dougall made a couple of stray passes but he has bags of energy and covers the ground box to box and has the occasional creative moment. Connolly is a good defensive sub if he is considered as a first choice starter in central midfield we have a problem!!
