"We want to be successful. We went on a four-game winning run to get us right on the fringes of the Play-Offs again. We've now lost three in a row and we don't want to be that yo-yo team.
"We want consistency and we've been craving that all season."
First time we've had a female as 4th official?
4th official I think possibly yes.
Assistant no. Here Kevin McNaughton makes his presence felt
That was funny.
Dont think we've had a female ref either. Would have been dangerous if McNaughton had still been around. 🙄
Match-day I feel so fecking hung over and I don't even drink, surely it can't be as bad as last new years day, can it!!!!
Considering the match is fecking tomorrow!
🙄
Well that's a great start for me, the hang over continues.
We had Andy Davies twice last season, 3-0 defeat at Reading and a 1-1 draw at Brum
Cant be any worse than the buffoon we had last Tuesday.
Re the McNaughton incident. I was at that game, and I'm sure I remember the Silver Fox going to her, to check she was okay - but there's no sign of that on the footage.
Lol!
Anyone Remember Rotherham away on New Years Eve? Mid 90s. What a waste of time that was. Miserable.
Hope it's not gonna be like that tomorrow....but I have my doubts
I just remembered I spent that weekend in Liverpool. Went to Liverpool v Norwich on the 2nd. I think that was the first time I saw a "Monday Night Football" game on Sky too.
It's so lame we didn't have a game today. I'm sure I can remember us playing two games in two days when I was a kid.

No, but I just checked and I remember seeing us lose there 5-2 on 3rd Jan 1994. And it poured with rain :-(
Rotherham is far from one of our favourite away trips. In 24 away visits, we've won 3 and lost 17. Eddie May's side won there in February 1992 to record our first ever win in Rotherham. We had lost 13 of the previous 14 away games there.
We opened our first season back at this level with a 0-0 at Rotherham. That draw marks the only clean sheet we've ever managed there. Since then we've won twice, drawn once and lost once.
Quiz question - who is the only City manager to have a 100% record at Rotherham as manager?
Slade
No. Actually, there's two. I'd missed out on one. Warnock beat his old side 5-0. Still looking for the other.
The 5-0 game was at Cardiff wasn't it?
Yes. I was right originally! I confuse myself regularly....
Has to be Trollope then. Lambert scored a pair and we won 2-1
Yep. And to think that we only remember him as being a shit manager....
Match Day take 2, I ain’t got a scooby what’s gonna go down my heart says 0-2 bluebirds but my head says they could put 4 past us. Hope is in the heart.
