full time 1-0 damn it :( and I really think it sounded like it was ours for the taking

robbed

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

It would seem the better team lost

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

Lets take the positives - seem to play well and unlucky with a few shots - goalie playing a blinder in first half. So the season starts next Saturday at home. Lets hope for a decent crowd and the right result.:enough:

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

At least were not bottom of the league, that honour belongs to Bradford who lost 5-0

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

Sounds like we were unlucky..............oh well .............. NEXT :)

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

Really disappointed at the result with the goal coming when it did but at least it sounded like a promising start to the season in the way our lads played.

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

Stanley played well and certainly deserved a draw. Rotherham's goalkeeper was man of the match, which shows how well Stanley played.

Posted via Mobile Device. Gutted missed all the commentry seems the kit didn't bring luck this time other than we were drawing till 89th min, seems improvement there.

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

After a couple o large bottles o Keo Im now feelin a bit more optimistic - just remember - we narrowly lost away to a side that are tipped to be promoted this season and we are heavily tipped (as we are every season) to go down.

Thats what I am going to take from todays result. Unlucky Stanley - everyone knows we should have taken at LEAST a point today - lets take it out on Walsall or Lincoln next week (please!)

Even though I was listening to 2br all game, I would really appreciate one of the Rotherham 120 to come on and tell us all that couldnt get there about the new signings performances... :)

Seemed our's for the taking in the first half. We'd caused their goalie to earn Man of the Match by then

The major concern was the Rotherham could not play that badly in the second half and we had not scored. Ryan going close with free kicks. Disappointed with Paul Mullin's shot from well out even if it was on target. Billy Kee showed great ability to receive passes cushion the ball on bringing it down and turn. He clearly has potential to play at a higher level.

Mark Robbins sent Rotherham out playing a higher tempo in the second half and the defending seemed a bit frenetic at times. A miss hit clearance from one of our central defenders nearly put Rotherham in and Luke Joyce also had to head off the line.

Rotherham were denied by a combination of the woodwork and a great save from Alan Martin who had almost nothing to do in the first half but played a blinder in the second half. The ball fell to the right of the post and Paul Warne could not miss.

Have just vented my disappointment on Radio Sheffield phone in.

The Rotherham Manager said our passing football in the first half at times supported John Coleman's claim to have assembled the strongest Stanley side and Brian another regular Rotherham caller praised our passing game in the first half. The Rotherham manager said we would be disappointed to have left empty handed. A policeman apologised to us for the "robbery" as we left the ground.

That's perhaps putting it a bit strong as Rotherham were marginally the better side in the second half.

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

Stanley were well worth a point. The goal came from a bit of sloppy defending, after we had just brought two subs on.

I didn't think Rotherham were that good. Stanley were more than a match for them

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

Thanks guys

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

Plenty of positives from today's game and I think we were well worth a point. Ryan should have scored when he found himself in front of goal on his own, but delayed too long. Kee looks like a very good footballer and once settled in, I think he'll score goals too.
I also think that naming Miles as captain was an inspired move, if a surprising one.

Rotherham hit the bar and had another headed off the line, but overall I thought they were very lucky to take the points.

Re: match thread v Rotherham
 

One positive is that Rotherham have agreed a deal to sign Adam La Fondre from Rochdale, so at least we missed having to play against him.........lol
