Good win tonight against a decent team, with the pace of Colbeck, Daley and Rhodes in the side we can do some damage, and so it proved.

Daley looks really good up the middle you know, he terrorises more bullish, bigger-framed CM's this league tends to provide.

Having pace through the middle and down the wings makes a huge difference. I like Nix, he's decent, but we're so much better when we have so much pace in the side.

Daley looks much happier down the middle, especially as he doesn't have the responsibility of helping his full back.

The thing with Daley is he likes receiving the ball into his feet, rather than running onto it, playing off the striker allows him to get the ball like that - and no defender is going to be too keen to have him running at them.

I was going to post about the Rotherham strikers shocking open goal miss at 2-0, but then Peter Thorne (of all people) managed to surpass it at the end - when he missed that I was convinced Rotherham were about to go upfield and equalise!

They were some impressive misses! No doubt Soccer AM will use them to highlight the quality of Division 4 football

I was informed Thorney was offside when he 'missed' spectacularly!

Thank God it didn't really matter in hindsight!

I've now seen something even more shocking than those misses - apparently we are set to make a profit this year. As for play-offs, my mate has just pointed out that if Rotherham do go into admin, the way things stand with them minus 10 we's actually just be 7 points off the play-offs with 2 games in hand on Chesterfield! I don't want Rotherham to go into admin though, and that scenario panning out is a little far fetched!

Typical City I guess.

Truly abysmal, and why anyone lets that donkey Conlon take penalties I don't know - even the ones he has scored have been unconvincing.

No doubt we'll go and beat bloody Stockport next week just to make this defeat that little bit more irritating

I presume largeley because other than the miss hit bobble over the keeper against Lincoln it's the only way he is going to score

Looks like the wheels have come totally off....
