Re: ROTHERHAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
There was heavy snow in South Yorkshire (again) from 6.00 pm yesterday. Then a slight melt. Then more snow. Then a freeze.
The roads are clear but most of the county is covered in snow and ice - with more snow forecast.
The Rotherham-Derby game was postponed last week for 24 hours because of a waterlogged pitch (I think the New York has undersoil heating) and the same could happen again the way the weather is going.

If it goes ahead this will be a tough old game. A draw would be a decent result here

Rotherham are top scorers in the Championship in 2021.

More than Brentford? Surely not. They have scored 14 in their last three alone

Re: ROTHERHAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Be very surprised if this match goes ahead

I thought i recognised the name. We had him for the FA Cup tie v Carlisle last January.
Apart from that, nothing in last 3 seasons.

You are right. I hadn't spotted that they put 4 past Boro. Second highest scorers, then!

More heavy snow overnight. Snowing now.

Interesting summary of Coventry's injury/illness problems - 11 players in total.

I suspect this is the next game we play, as with the snow in Rotherham I cant see the game going ahead.

Re: ROTHERHAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
If the Rotherham match does go ahead (big if) they will be missing keeper Jamal Blackman (self isolation) and midfielder Jamie Lindsey (hamstring in last match v Preston). I don't think they have got too many other key players out.
The sides could match each other up with a back 3 and wing backs.
Rotherham have been on a good run and playing well - but pound for pound we are (or should be) better.
We are very marginal favourites ATM.

Once again, I'm going to stick my neck out, and predict a City win - if the game goes ahead. I have my doubts.

Surely it would be off by now wouldn’t it?

The last few hours have seen a slight melt in Sheffield (Rotherham will be the same) with some blue skies and a bit of sun although most fields, gardens and pavements are solid snow and ice. But now it is overcast again and a few flakes of snow coming down. It should start to freeze again in 2-3 hours. I am more confident the game will go ahead now than I was this morning - but there must still be a doubt.
Don't we usually get a time for the pitch inspection by now? I suppose it depends when Rotherham take the covers off and what else they do to stop the pitch freezing. No undersoil heating at the New York Stadium.

Amazed they build a new stadium without under soil heating these days

If that photo is from this afternoon (just posted by Rotherham on their website) the pitch looks OK if not frozen.

Re: ROTHERHAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Traffic cams around Rotherham show the weather as dry and....sunny. Not much snow. Looks hopeful for the match going ahead as planned, tonight.

Re: ROTHERHAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Looks as if it's going ahead, but pitch will be frozen by 9pm.
A City win 2-1
