Rosenior was below par this evening and lucky to not get a red card.

No way Uwe. Dunk got sucked in, by good movement, classic two steps in and drift back, leaving Dunk marking thin air.
Clever movement, and Dunk partially culpable, but before that Kayal lost a 50/50 he needed to win.

Duffy is tough! As soon as he can pull on a shirt again, he will!
Realistically we shouldn't expect to see him again this season as better to wait for him to be truly 100% fit. I am certain the club will bear that out !

First half at Rotherham wasn't good. A better team would have punished us. Rotherham had the best two chances of the opening 45mins.

Dunk fully to blame for the opener weak defending got mugged by Woods!

I also thought Tomori was generally OK but the cross for the first goal was on his side and could have been stopped at source. Not necessarily a howler but could have done better. Wood jumped well and got a good head on it so can't criticise Dunk in the middle. Maybe if Duffy had been playing..........?

Very harsh. He was moving back towards goal with Wood and was on his heels turning towards Wood when thecross came over. It not always the centre half's fault when the striker wins a header. There was no player called Woods on the pitch.
Who's fault is it then?

Any fault lies with the failure to stop the cross coming in.
They are good together, aren't they!

Sky showed that there were 5 defenders in a line from where the cross came in and Wood and none stopped either the cross or the header so blame must go equally to all 5 but from a cross you expect one of your CBs to get their head in. What it did show is that we lacked the same standard of delivery from our left side with a cross from the left foot of a defender or winger that we get from Bong or Pocognoli and when he came on March.

Not sure our defence was to blame entirely. What happened to our offensive players. Did any of them apart from Solly actually have a good match.

You seem the sort of person who always needs to find someone to blame for everything!

They definitely weren't to blame entirely as we offered precious little going forward with the exception of March. But we are generally a team based on defence and always have been ever since our return to this division.

I just saw the highlights and would say that Dunk should be disappointed with his 'effort' for the Wood header. He was on his heels, but had plenty of time to correct himself and put a challenge in. On another occasion he stuck a lame leg out at a cross that put us in danger. He can be great, but he has his faults - mostly, it seems, moments where he lacks concentration.
