Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Do we take this competition seriously I would think so but it's a difficult away tie and with current debate about defending does Coley experiment with the back line or stick with the same starting 11, maybe tweak the formation. Personally I don't think Ross is comfortable in a back 3 he is more a old fashioned type center half and looks a better player in a back 4 thought,s please.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

to me Ross is far better a number5

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Agree Ross - and the team - are better in a 4!

This is the League Cup, so it is serious and we should treat is so... :)

Get as far as we can and get as much £££ as we can................... :)

:) :) :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Maybe we should try the diamond midfield formation think we dabbled with it once but in layman's terms it's a 4-1-2-1-2 shape or even a 4-2-3-1 system.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Without a left back reverting to a back four is always a problem.
Now this isn't a negative comment just an observation.

Isn't this left back issue a recurring theme over a few seasons now ??
Nearest for me we got to resolving it was Nick Anderton.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Personally don't think we have had a decent left back since Joe Jacobson.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

How about Burgess at LB.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

I may be wrong but I think there will be at least 4 changes.....or as many as the cup allows. Whether fans view that as a weakened team is a matter of opinion.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

sensible thing to do the first week of the season. imagine the millers will do exactly the same. on paper its the hardest draw we could have had for me. if stanley win it will be a great result but if they lose i wont be that upset about it.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

That's a make do fix mate. He isn't a left back and reinforces the point. We should be signing a left back not creating one.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Surely this is one of the slots Coley keeps mentioning.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

yes, but we seem to be doing this every single season. is there a lack of players around in this position at stanleys level.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Moly was not too bad :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Necesity is the mother of invention.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Savin, Rodgers and Morgan in for Trafford, Sean and Jonno.................


:) :) :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Anyone,s guess on formation maybe:-
Savin.
Sykes. Nottingham. Burgess.
Rodgers. Pell. Morgan. Butcher. Pritchard.
Bishop. Charles.
Subs.:- Trafford. McConville. Mumbongo. Proctor. Leigh. Perritt. Nolan.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Swap Pell and Butcher and you agree with the Beeb :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

I see ex Rochdale man Ollie Rathbone starts for them good player always plays well against us need to watch him.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Not to mention Barlaser & Ihekwe - tough game tonight

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

1-0 come on you Reds

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

1-0 Charles well played Stanley sounds like everyone is having a good game.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

good lad Dion

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Assist by Toby! Bless his cotton socks

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

1-1

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

We have been on the back foot for the last 15 minutes

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Brilliant, well done Bishop

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

2-1 bishop :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Great result and good to take some confidence into Saturdays game

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Brilliant result, well played lads

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Great result apart from what sounds like a great free kick from them we bossed the game, sounds like everyone had a decent game but to me Harvey Rodgers in the side gives a better balance one defensive wing back and the other attack minded.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Have to say congratulations to Morecambe winning 2-1 at Blackburn.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Home to Morecambe round 2 then :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Lets hope not........can't we wait until their form dips....😁

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Great stuff Stanley. Cheered me up when I got FT result (didnt have a good start to working day).

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

whens the draw for round 2. i,ll guess crewe away.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

'Great result apart from what sounds like a great free kick from them we bossed the game, sounds like everyone had a decent game but to me Harvey Rodgers in the side gives a better balance one defensive wing back and the other attack minded.'

On the backfoot for most of second half. Got stuck in tho.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

our first 2 games were teams that played at Championship level last season so to me away win one lose one is a fair result well done lads onwards and upwards.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Behave!!! :D

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

The draw is after tonight's Cup fixtures so around 9.30

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

On Sky, after Q.P.R. game :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

I would take a home game, against a lower Club, then away at Anfield :)

:) :) :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

At least we can't get flippin' Tranmere!

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

First team I checked mate, then The Alex.........:(

:) :) :)

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

E

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Enjoyed that.
Supporters deserve a lot of praise who made the journey.
I was in the opposite stand but for their few numbers they made themselves heard.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Mind you, the Alex have only put us out of Cup competitions (FA Cup, EFL, JPT) four times since 1992 ................

In four attempts ................

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Ouch........

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

Go on Twenty Eight I'll bite.......why were you in the opposite stand? And not with the other Stanley fans?

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

It wasn't sent as a bite a genuine comment about the fans. I live locally and got offered a ticket on the day by a friend who's a season ticket holder and couldn't go.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

I see. Always good when you get to see a game in that way. Is Rotherham one of the teams you support......if you live locally? It always surprises me the number of Stanley fans who don't live in or around Accrington. It shouldn't......as I was born and bred in Accrington I now live about 10 miles away in Heapey, which is near Chorley. Will you get to Accrington for either of the next 2 home games?

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

think this happens at most clubs nowadays and not just glory hunting premier league fans. i live 26 miles away. my lad lives 110 miles away from his team, non league stockport county. the days of supporting your town club just because of that is long gone. bradford city are my nearest league club so for them its thanks but no thanks.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

No I'm not a Rotherham fan.
Yes - but Tuesday more likely than Saturday due to work committments.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

or is it the opposition that interests you more. can quite understand it if it does though.

Re: Rotherham away EFL carabo cup match thread.
 

No not at all. Got to confess Seamus being out injured is also a factor but work is the main one.
Went to Donny v Wimbledon and we need to keep an eye on two midfielders - Smith on loan from Arsenal and Close. Decent pairing.
