I have been putting a little touch away (ten/twenty quid) a week in a separate account since the beginning of the season for next seasons, season ticket. Well feck it, it's going towards the new washer dryer on Saturday that the missus has been banging on about for the last couple of weeks. Cheers Dean for making sure I get my priorities right 🤣 🔵⚪🔵 You might win one in a raffle? You’ll just have to hope you don’t win the first prize instead… 😉

We can't continue with this selection bingo can we.
Yesterday's team showed chicco is not ready... it was bizarre and probably the primary reason we lost so hopelessly.
No idea what formation we will play, or who's not in the treatment room at the minute, seems there are a number of heart issues at the moment.
But... I'd go with
BILO (best keeper we have after nichols)
Lowton REG Lees Headley Hungbo Kassumu High Koroma Knockhart Simpson or Harratt
I can't watch waghorn or Rhodes struggle to get around any longer. He will probably pick hogg for either high or Kassumu, but kassumu has more energy and high is the only one likely to thread a ball from midfield.
I would maybe go with REG at either RB (sure he played there, or CB) as we just need some more legs in the team.. for either lowton/Lees if pearson is fit.

A defeat all day, every day, guaranteed.
I'm in Suffolk Sat morning, flip-flopped between "can't be arsed" (thanks, Buzz!) through "I might give it a go"(Chico time) and "wouldn't miss it for the world" (Warnock appointment).
But after last night......

Bilokapic
Lowton Ruffels/Jackson (if fit) Lees Edmonds-Green
Hogg Camara Kasumu
Hungbo Knockaert Rhodes
Subs: Chapman, Headley, High, Rudoni, Koroma, Harratt, Waghorn
One of the big things for me is to leave that front three up as a front three. Stop them from dropping back so we don't have an outlet. I'd even be tempted to switch Camara for High. High not so good on the ball and isn't anywhere like as composed, but in terms of shuttling forward and back in support, he's streets ahead and that's one of the things we've lacked - any kind of movement from midfield. When you watch the better sides in the league, they have midfielders who break the lines in possession and don't just sit. Hogg can do that on his own, thank you very much, and that allows for others to get forward. We've been so rigid in possession that we've been our own worst enemies.

My team for the Brummies. I'm going 4-4-2.
GK: Bilo and Vaclik RB: Neil Warnock. Close one between him and Lowton but I feel that Warnock has a better first touch. LB: Maureen Proctor. Unlike Ruffels she has the fitness to get up and down the wing. CB: Helik and Pearson. Their bad legs tied together as in a three-legged race. CB: Terry the Terrier. Has a better turning circle than Will Boyle. LH: Rudoni. I enjoy his headless chicken style of play. CM: Camara. Like everyone else, he can't pass the ball ten yards and he loses it in midfield, but he does it elegantly. CM: Hogg. No-one to do the pointing if he doesn't play. RH: Knockaert. It appears that this boy might have played football before. Striker: Jepson. Striker: Frank Worthington. Although he's been dead for 18 months (RIP big man), he would at least manage to get some attempts on goal, which is more than could be said for any of our other strikers.

It's a case of consuming a good gallon, turn up & see what's been served up. I want to see fight, desire,commitment to every tackle, pass & shot for 90 mins. Will that be good enough to win the game? No don't know but there will be little complaint from me. All the very best Gaffer you're going to need it.

Kieran phillips is a busy player too. Wouldn't be surprised if he got a few minutes. Had a decent stint at morecambe too. I would, he's out for the season with a torn hamstring Probably still more effective than Waghorn!

Line up predictions will be interesting. I could see Hogg dropping alongside Lees potentially.
Vaclik
Lowton Hogg Lees Headley
Hungbo Kasumu Camara Koroma
Knockaert
Simpson
Would opt for Simpson as he seems like a Warnock type, and Waghorn hasn't done anything.
Give Knockaert a free role, and take Rudoni out of the firing line.
Koroma and Hungbo to play wide and just get them to run at the full back.
Hogg at the back, a risk, but at least he can focus on that instead of dropping there anyway.
Kasumu/ Camara looked a good combo earlier in the season when it happened.

going on last nights abysmal "effort" then escaping relegation would be a bigger miracle than the raising of Lazarus
I have no idea how Warnock will get anything out of this lot !

Ideal world it would be Turton Pearson Helik and Nakayama.

Was hoping to come up and give Colin a but it's looking less likely now as I have ajob on with a deadline of Sunday morning and I can't see me completing it in next 2 evenings, bugger. If I don't make it to the game I will keep a look out for scores and stats on bbc.

Won’t be going - been away all week and get more out of seeing the little one than watching that shower of shite.
Usually wouldn’t miss it for the world and now I can’t think of a worse place to be on Saturday than the JS

Hogg's past it and Camara does need to quicken it up, but having the ability to run around a lot and not much else (High) won't solve our needs/problems. Kasumu can provide the energy and Camara needs to up his game, but he's miles better than High. Rudoni also needs to learn do the simple things and not over elaborate as he often does.

By a remarkable coincidence Warnock's first two games with Rotherham in 2016 were Birmingham at home (0-0, Richard Wood and Joe Mattock both sent off) and Champions-elect, then as now, Burnley away (0-2). Another defeat at Reading and then 23 points from the next 11 games. The template is set then; all we have to do now is follow it.
What is the likelihood of us drawing at home to Birmingham?

If we melt away backwards against Birmingham and give away unneccessary corners, long throws and free kicks, we wont draw the game. Simply have to play more where the ball is, in or out of possession. Running off and standing waiting is proving suicidal... Hogg just holding, kasumu doing the running and chasing, camara to play the pivot. Hungbo and knockheart wide with a centre forward, proper one, not a number 10 playing the role. Full backs at full back. Our goalkeeper in the nets. Front foot from the start. Hopefully some basic instructions from Colin and a bit of bollocks in the team.

Btw, you have to believe that your bravery in pushing on will make opportunities to score, living with the 'fear' of being broken on means you simply dont attack as a unit, ever.

Rudoni, Hogg, Kassumu, Hungbo
Knockaert
Harratt

These are sort of stats why i didn’t want Fotheringham to be sacked, despite thinking he’s an incompetent chancer. We haven’t got time for getting your feet under the table, getting to know players and all that. One point from Warnock’s first 3 games and we’re buggered.
