" DISASTER? ? "

Why did Slade change the successful formula we started with? i.e Pilkington and Jones starting and Ameobi coming off the bench?

I was shocked by Slades decision to change his starting line up today ?? And it was not down to injuries, Hmmmmm?

Depends on people's expectations. I did'nt get over excited when we won a couple of games, and I'm not particularly concerned just because we've lost a couple. As I've said since day one, I believe we have enough quality to stay well clear of the relegation battle, but I honestly don't think that we will be close to the promotion battle. As I have also said a number of times, I think Slade is here to steady the ship during a severe cost cutting excercise. His record of getting clubs promoted obviously was'nt the reason he was appointed, and I think he is more than capable of keeping us in the championship, despite having very limited funds available for top quality players. Way too early to worry about a couple of losses, as plenty of others have said, lets see where we are after 12 to 15 games.

Steve,

I've been really happy with the attitude of our team this season and football improved,but I don't expect Slade to take us any where and for me this is a very bad result,Rotherham are awful.

Slade is not a manager to take us up,he's a manager to take orders and be over the moon to have the job.
Yet I will say this,I do like his passion

Same here. I don't expect him to ever get us to the Premier, and I will stick to my prediction of a finish between 12th & 15th. I doubt that Tan expected him to get us promoted when he appointed him, I think it was all about cost cutting while maintaining championship status.

Lets be honest before marshall got sent off we were poor
no excuse for marshall as a professional and captain

Spot on, on both accounts

We were shit today. Would'nt have complained if we lost 3-1 or even 4-1. Thanks to Marshall we had no choice to play the way we did second half, but why Slade kept Whittingham on all game, is beyond me and those sat around me. He contributed nothing to our backs to the wall effort.

City should be able to tear teams like Rotherham apart, nearly every other team does

Hardly a disaster but we should be winning these games, I posted this morning our record against the bottom team is horrendous almost a jinx in Ccfc history! Remember posh the year we went up? It's almost am shoe in we would lose.

But most have us have seen enough from this division over the years to know this happens, Malkys team had great bounce back ability and that is needed in a division where these results are not uncommon. Bristol city put 4 past boro in their own backyard, have a glance at the table tonight. Saturdays game is huge,would have liked us to take a point

Disaster prob to big a word, but it's worrying and I expect City to bounce straight back with a win if we are going any where

Just a week ago 2nd, now 8th, we have to be carefull. Hopefully at least establish ourselves in a top ten position for the season

Shambolic is probably a better term to use, just like the way our club has been managed and run these last few years.

Do people really wonder why our attendances are so low??? Even the club announcer is an embarrassment!

Yes your right I've seen this time and time again over the years.

Still not convinced about Slade, but yes Charlton home a must must win

Yes Rick Shambolic is about right and fans don't believe in Slade that is a major problem, he will now have to show we are not just a mid table team as what we look like at present.

In my opinion Rotherham dragged us down to thier level but without Marshall getting himself sent off I believe we would have got something out of the game. It was a poor quality game but Rotherham, thanks to Marshall, were gifted the points.

Having said all that following 2 defeats in a row next week is now an absolute MUST win game as losing can become a habit and we must now go on a run of unbeaten games, or the playoffs will quickly become a pipedream.

Gary, Yes there is a lot of truth in that, but against the worst team in the Leagyes, a quality side like ours should be able to tear teams like them apart.

2 defeats in a row, please City bounce back and show character and take it out on Charlton on Sat

Annis you have seen enough of the championship to know its rare teams tear each other apart, just doesn't happen that regular more consistency and being able to bounce back.

But we do have the quality in the squad to do this , but do we have the manager?

Just a week ago 2nd, now 8th, we have to be carefull. Hopefully at least establish ourselves in a top ten position for the season

Simon, Thankfully No Relegation but mid table for us again

Not a disaster Annis. Disappointing to lose to inferior opposition and the 10 man side were up against it. The trouble is it was level at half time.

It should have been level at full time.

To concede in injury time is a sickener.

I don't like Marshall being held responsible though. He did something daft but there was enough time to cope with it.

Yep mid table I reckon to

Not long got back. Very disappointing, but its still early in the season. There are no easy games in the Championship. Same as at Forest last season, Marshall just lost it completely. Cost us.

If they loan high earners out again I would find that distasteful. I hope that is not on the agenda this season.

Steve, Thats exactly how I see it,anything above is a bonus.

John, Diasaster was to strong,but for me it goes down as a major defeat and not good for confidence.

City fans should rally around Marshall now and show their support for a great keeper

Every game is tough,but after the defeat to Hull,we had a chance against the worst side in the Championship to show we can bounce back and we failed to do that.
So let's hope we can take it out on Charlton

Back to back defeats are common place in this league, it's tough and very unpredictable, we've had a great season up until this week gone so it's time to kick on again now and put it right against Charlton.

Norm, true and we have to now put these defeats behind us and start another good run

We'll get weeks like this, it's all about how the team reacts now against Charlton.

Steve Evans: 'Rotherham United battered Cardiff City to claim first win'

Steve Evans has said that Rotherham United gave Cardiff City "a hiding" during their Championship victory on Saturday.

The Millers won 2-1 to claim their first win of the season after a stoppage-time own goal by Matthew Connolly.

"The win has been coming for me. I think if it would have been anything other than a win it would have been a travesty. We've been the best side by a million miles from the first minute," Evans told BBC Sport.

"I thought we were battering them at 11 versus 11. They showed no interest in going forward in the second half and were camped behind the ball. The question was in the second half could we get the goal that our momentum deserved? You think it's not going to be our day.

"I think we were fantastic. We beat a top side full of quality players. We gave them a bit of a hiding."

Rotherham are now two points off safety in the Championship table.

Yes our reaction next Saturday will mean a lot

Smack on! Have a look at my other posts on threads last couple of days. Some are so quick to jump on a scapegoat. As you said, the club needs to show him support and get him back to full strength as soon as the ban expires. Marshall is a top club member and a very very loyal guy. He deserves the same in return.
