I'd like to think so, play offs more likely than automatic. There's a long way to go, the team are showing some strength, we've played most of the top 10 teams - only Cardiff and West Brom to complete the set. Looking forward to seeing Ross Stewart in our red and white.

He did have a fucking good squad too: VVD, Fonte, Bertrand, Soares, Wanyama, Romeu, Davis, Mane, Tadic, Pelle - sure I've missed some out as well

It was under hit, slightly misdirected, yes. Inexcusable? Bit harsh. JB is looking a much better player this season though, more aggressive, more leadership.

In the last 2 or 3 games Sulemana has gotten to the byline in the oppos area and made 4 great cut backs without a striker on the end. An instinctive striker like a Vardy would be lapping that kind of service up. Both our goals v Hull were from crosses or cut backs from the byline, it's clearly something we're trying to do and hopefully Stewart will be helping himself to.

Completely agree, 11 points from 15, having pushed KWP more forward, unacceptable.

As I said, it's a matter of opinion

Erm probably because we played KWP much higher than we did Bree, we've been doing this for a few games now.

you seem to have forgotten one quite important stat from the first half.... other than that I'm with you

Come on, write off Bednarek's great start to the season because of a misplaced pass that ends in a goal for the oppo?? Fickle or what.

Disagree. Football is easy when you can time travel and adjust something which will obviously (I'm being facetious) make things better.

Leeds. It's a matter of opinion. I like the passing, keep possession game, others don't. Whatever floats your boat

Shea had an off night last night, all players do, not necessarily a systems fault. Shea had an off night last time out for NI, definitely not RM's system at fault. Shea is a young man playing arguably the most difficult position on the pitch, experience and game time is crucial for him - we've seen the player he will become, I think his form is more to do with his inexperience than anything else. Bednarek looks a much better player this season than last and the previous one to that. Jack Stephens before he got injured had clearly improved for us. Stu A is finding his form again. Smallbone is at least as good as he was with Stoke. Downes looks a different player the last 3 games. Kameldeen and Alcarez look dangerous and I believe will improve again when they have a central striker in front of them and in form.

6 points. The Wednesday game we played keep ball for the 10 minutes of injury time.

Those moaning about the manager clearly missed the JW message that the style is here to stay, whether it be RM or someone else. Our performance tonight didn’t deserve a point tonight but we deserved more than 1 point from Rotherham.

Adams has been the biggest disappointment. Armstrong hasn’t really played as a 9 this season. Alcaraz did a sterling job leading the line but clearly isn’t a striker but arguably has been the best of the 3 that have played the role. Mara has been poor but not really expected anything different, disappointing but true. Armstrong has played well as an 8 but time for him to shift to 9 and allow Charly to take the 8 spot.

So bloody slow in progressing through the middle third made it a very hard watch. Think some of that is having an anonymous striker, some due to being hesitant in taking a risk. Thought Bree did ok, surprised he lasted the 90. Holgate was alright but not enough to break the Bednarek THB partnership. Simply didn’t create enough good chances.

It’s an attack loaded bench too 😳

That’s the spirit

At some point soon we will smash a side, can see it happening away from home, against a team willing to give up possession of the ball.... it could be tonight, but probably not until we have a number 9 to believe in.

Everton always equals Fuckin' Adrian Heath to me, not that I'm bitter. I feel sorry for their fans but its been a complete basket case of a club for a number of years now. Given the 3 that went up last season, I thought they'd miss out on relegation again but looks like shit is about to get interesting.

If you say so, I'll await tomorrow's contradiction

24 hours earlier you labelled Martin as "a manager who has no track record of being anything other than bang average". Are you looking for a bang below average manager for us??!!

Martin’s press conference suggests a couple of players will get their chance tomorrow and it’s down to them to take their chance. Hopefully KWP stays on the right, he’s the best in the league at that position. It’s risky but I’d like to see Meghoma given a chance at LB. Maybe this is Charles’ chance to start in the holding role.

A minor amendment to the old Des Walker song (look it up kids) with tongue firmly in mouth: You’ll never be Kyle Walker, You’ll never be Kyle Walker.

....and tonight's lottery numbers are?
