listened too it on the town players , was it my imagination or was the stadium announcer/music guy trying to make everyone deaf

Bloody hell yes. It was unbearable. Louder than Spinal Tap, man.

Good morning everyone.

Town started poorly last night, Rotherham were all over us like some kind of nasty rash for the first 15mins and aside from the goal had a couple of other very decent chances that had it been us we'd have being saying "should've scored there"
Anyhow they didn't and Town came back into it thanks to Nahki Wells, last night I was thinking Camp should've done better with it but looking back at the highlights it's a strike that Nahki take early, hits low and hard and on further reflection probably takes the keeper by surprise. From that moment onwards the first half was pretty much ours, we settled down into a passing game and tried to work openings and on two more occasions Nahki broke through. The 1st being down the right hand side of the box going away from goal when I thought another 1st time shot was coming in but Nahki wanted to go further and the 2nd was on the left with Nahki driving into the box but just running out of space, it's safe to say if we used the channels correctly he had them beat.
2nd half ebbed and flowed, Warnocks men hoofed and chucked the ball in at every opportunity but Town dealt with the majority comfortably and Steer was in the right place at the right time when they didn't.
One thing we can say about Wagner is he makes brave substitutions, bringing Matmour and Paterson on around the hour mark and taking of VLP who had just taken the Rotherham right back to the cleaners on at least 3 occasions at the start of the second half.
Nahki's offside goal, well the flag goes up straight away...was he offside? I couldn't tell last night but having watched it back this morning Nahki makes the run from a offside position and when the ball is played he looks offside to me.

Yes Town could've won it, yes Town probably should've won it but at the end of the day it's the point that secures our Championship status for another season and I'm happy with the point.

Just a couple of other things. Seemed to be a lot of tension among the Town supporters last night and I don't know why, the game was all but a dead rubber as far as I was concerned and MK result proved that so people just need to chill out a bit between now and the end of the season
Jason Davidson- came in for a lot of stick near us, mainly from the Town 'youth'. Again chillax, he isn't going to be our no1 choice next season and likely not going to be here at all.

Rotherhams stadium- only holds something like 12000 but every seat seems to be close or feel like it's on top of the pitch, makes for a decent atmosphere and most of the views are good. Only my mates seats weren't that good, directly behind the goal 3 rows back with the crossbar obstructing the view although I didn't have that problem sat on the back row. Now can the just sort some decent parking out

Obviously I wasn't there....but according to Oggy, Jed Steer was close to m.o.m
What are we going to do next year when he goes back to Villa?

[theo_luddite]

Villa have announced that everyone they keep will get a 50% reduction in wages next season. Don't know if that now brings him into our wage range or even if Villa will keep him and let Guzan and others go, we'll have to wait and see. There are plenty of other keepers out there and we've a few of our own that might get a game between now and the end of the season.

Not sure why this is is Euro's when they quote other clubs in £'s

[sloppyattheback]

Agree with all WTs comments above, nip n tuck for 90 minutes either side could have won it, we tried played the pure footy but I could live with their direct and pacey approach too, typical of Warnock, its very effective, it must be unbeaten in 10. Having a throw in more powerful than a corner from Halford, Huddy and Bet stood up to the throws very well, Steer too. Almost a sell out support good backing vocally, lino had a nightmare to our left, parked up handy few beers in the Bridge and out n home before 11 despite the 1 lane M1 sections doing their best to slow me down.

Happy with the point and our safety, think we can beat Brum who have nothing at stake now, Brizzzzzle might be tough playing for pride like us then Brentford seem to have found a gear again so wont be easy. Pity Beeston have improved of late would have been nice to have kept in touch with them.

[Lord Snooty]

Any thoughts on the Matmour penalty? I thought it was definitely one.

[Amelia Chaffinch]

Wagner agrees that the goal was offside.

[theo_luddite]

The YouTube highlights don't show it but the Sky Sports video does. He played a ball back from close to the dead ball line and never got back far enough to get onside for the return pass.

For those out of country viewers that can't see the video

This is where he collects the ball and knocks it back



This is where he is when the return pass is played to him - Rotherham defenders were still outside the 6yd box when he ran in and shot across goal.
