It is a bit odd playing on a Thursday. This will be only the 30th occasion where we've played a league game on a Thursday, with Christmas/New Year games making up 17 of the 29 played so far.
Our last Thursday match took place last season - an inspirational 0-0 away draw with fellow-initialled CCFCers Coventry. The last time we played a league game on a Thursday at a different time of the season was in 1994, when Phil Stant and Paul Millar from the spot beat Bournemouth 2-1. We survived that season in the third tier, just. Looking back at the records, between March 12th and May 7th we played 19 games, including two legs of a Welsh cup semi against the Jacks. The Bournemouth game was a part of a 9 game run in just 18 days and was the 3rd league game in 5 days.
We've won 7, drawn 9 and lost 13 on a Thursday in the league, scoring 27, conceding 40.
We have twice played playoff games on a Thursday, losing at home to West Ham but winning at Fulham.

There is nothing to change from the pre match comment I made for the past 2 games which was something like - City - just get a result, anything will do - a point or a win. Just get something from the game.

WHY ARE WE playing on a Thursday instead of the usual Tuesday or Wednesday? Gives less time to rest afterwards before Huddersfield.

Television, Sky are advertising their great ten EFL matches in ten days feature. It started yesterday. Luton v Middlesbrough today.
I think Rotherham is our best chance to wrap it up - we know we can play well against them, and we will be considerably less fresh than Huddersfield in the next game, and I fully expect Burnley to thrash us

Playing Thursday and Sunday is no different to playing Wednesday and Saturday. In fact, it gives the team an extra day to recover from last Saturday’s exertions (if they can be described as such).

playing Wednesday and Saturday isn't ideal either, I'm sure Raymond Verhaijen (spelling is probably very wrong) used to go on about the importance of having more than 2 rest days between matches, it was something like teams with 3 rest days are 30% more likely to win than teams with 2 rest days.
ok he was a bit of a gobshite in general but seemed convincing about this matter
How about using the subs more, especially when we have a pacy youngster on the bench and our striker looks like he can’t put one foot in front of the other?

Absolutely. 2 points from next 2 games mathematically makes us safe and nothing else matters.
Even if we do beat Rotherham we still need a point v Huddersfield. And if we draw v Rotherham it's the same. So assuming reading beat Wigan a win or draw doesn't that make that much difference. Although win preferable!

Actually we could still go down with a heavy defeat at Burnley with 2 draws now.
Could be
Reading 49
Huddersfield 48
Cardiff 48
So actually 2 draws not enough we do need 4 points from next 2 games!

Or just beat Huddersfield. So 3 points (as long as it's Huddersfield we beat).
Something at Rotherham may well be enough. Smart money is seeing us staying up.

Reading are getting 1 point from their last 2, so fear not we won't be needing any points.

Great. Met Office currently has 90% chance of heavy rain in Rotherham from 7pm onwards. Forget pick n shovel...brolley and wellies it is. And that's just for the players.

I did wonder what might happen if it poured down again what the EFL would have in place as a contingency.
They should have played the game at our place after that shambolic affair.
How is it fair that players and fans should be worrying about whether the same thing might happen again :shrug:

May 4th? After all, if is Cardiff City and it would not suprise me if it gets postponed again. Rotherham's pitch is atrocious. Knowing our luck, it would be declared a result with Rotherham one nil up.

That would be typical! :frown:
If the same thing happens again as in - we are 1 nil up and the game is rained off - surely they will give us the result.it would not be at all fair to replay again from scratch. It’s not really very fair the first time around but again - no it would be ridiculous.
Very generous odds for Cardiff to avoid the drop

Fancy Wigan to upset the apple cart and get a 3rd win on the bounce, they seem to have hit a late season surge. Carroll banned for Reading as well who can't buy a win at the moment. Can't see how Reading pull 2 wins out of nowhere when they haven't won in 11.

My understanding is that it's a result after 70 minutes are played.

I was just going to post it was 2 yellows so only 1 game but you are correct as he’s already been sent off this season’ it’s a 2 game ban.

According to Met Office, rain in Rotherham is now due to start about 4.00pm and go on until the early hours of Friday. Heavy rain during the match. Plus their sprinklers. This is going to be interesting.

I will throw all of my toys out of the pram if this game turns from a win to a loss and we get relegated because of the difference in points. Waaaaay worse than the Chelsea offside and not enough paddies being thrown imo. It would be so wrong.

I’m uneasy about tonight, I’ve been reading City fans on social media saying that we’re clearly the better team based on the one and a half games we’ve played against them. While I agree that we were well worth our win at home and could see no other result than a City win when the half time whistle blew in the abandoned game, Rotherham are clearly capable of a lot more than they’ve shown against us so far and the law of averages says they can’t be as bad again tonight.

I just think that we will be fired up and hopefully get out of the blocks earlier than we have been.

Can only control what we can control.
Team will know we were easily handling Rotherham before, will have the motivation of the debacle before.
My only concern will be another cancelled game, heavy rain, Rotherham have been training on the pitch as training facilities being worked on. We know if the rain comes down, Rotherham will do little work unless they are winning. I doubt that EFL would look kindly on a repeat of last time.
Maurice Swan
27-04-23, 16:08
It is interesting isn't it. I have posted here previously that looking at the law of averages, Rotherham have won less games overall than teams around them (as have Huddersfield...), and so are due a win. However, one can also deduce that Rotherham have lost LESS games at home than the teams around them...so are due a home defeat....or at least not win again.....

I am the same as you. Done two similar games before. The first a group of us went up with Tim Johnson to watch Celtic play Rapid Vienna in the old ECWC in 1984. Celtic spanked them 3-0 but because someone lobbed a bottle out of the Jungle missing a Rapid player, UEFA got the game replayed and when we went to the replayed game in Old Trafford they lost 1-0.
The snowgate game I was walking up to Pride Park when the stewards walking the other way told me it was off. Long way for a Burger King and chips then back a few weeks later for a Cameron Jerome spanking.
Will stay at home for this one and hope for better luck!

It's too close to Sunday and gives Huddersfield a big advantage the whole thing stinks!
Because of that we just have to win tonight!

Ralls penalties weren’t great but, to be fair, he scored more than he missed. Kaba has had 3 now and all poor because the one he scored was lucky to go in.

Rotherham outbattling us - they realise the ref is giving us nothing (penalties don’t count cos he knows we won’t score).
Grangenders
27-04-23, 19:58
A point would be an excellent result here
Apart from giving the pelanty this ref has been awful. Missed the push for their goal and let them get away with shirt pulls when he could see them!

Shirt pull is putting it mildly, there was at least two rugby tackles.
Be a miracle if we get a point here…..

We’re being outbattled, outfought and that’s by the ref, Rotherham are doing the same.
The Lone Gunman
27-04-23, 20:04
Well at least it's entertaining...
The ref let City get away with a few blatant fouls early on and he's let Rotherham get away with plenty since. To be honest, I think he's just rubbish. Don't believe their goal should have been disallowed, though. Kipre made a right meal of that and he was never getting to the ball. Meanwhile, Ng was appealing for a foul rather than trying to stop the cross.

Well that is just rubbish. I don’t recall us getting away with any blatant fouls and yet Philogene and Etete have been fouled and got nothing when even the co-commentators even said they were fouls.

The re-arranged game after the 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ washed out the first attempt.

Justice is served.
They were terrible and we were slightly less terrible but made the better chances.
The ref was awful.
Kipre is a hero, sign him up next year!!!
Deserved win in the end, that is surely enough to keep us up.

We battled really well tonight. Joe Ralls has been immense last month and the side kept going. We were looking for the win a great run from Romeo trying to get on the end of a Ralls through ball last 15.
I cant imagine Peltier doing that.
You could see the passion when that goal went in. Great to see.

27-04-23, 21:15
Good to hear the manager say etete should have scored at the end. He's right.
That was a really excellent finish to win it tho
Well done on staying up. Very pleased for you. Please do us a favour on Sunday.
CopenhagenBlue
27-04-23, 21:24
Etete was our man of the match, but a great battling performance, and as mentioned by others Ralls stepped up. Other stand out for me was McGuinness. He's taken a fair amount of flack, plenty of which has been deserved, but that was a really good performance from him tonight, think he got the assist for the winner too no?

Not quite job done yet. Heavy defeat at Burnley and warnock doing a job could yet send us down (sorry to everyone else for being "that guy") but I just don't want ANY possibility of us going down as we go into the last day.......
