Rotherham United v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Colhint]

shout out for Jedi. Any threat from them was a set piece or long throw. Steer didn't have many saves to make.  A   bit like a front row in Rugby getting MOM. not saying he was MOM but did more than OK.

The change at half time was brave, clever and won the game for us.  Kodjia was excellent and SJM is, dare I say it, better than Jack, they just couldn't cope with him.  No booking for him either!  wahay.  An amazing turnaround, when, at half time, I wanted them to man up, they did.  Superbly.  Excellent defending too, putting their bodies on the line.  MOTM, SJM, bur two lovely goals. Well done Dean Smith.

Do you know I was thinking the same thing tonight. I would be more worried about losing him than Jack. He’s a £25m player already and what did we pay? £2.5m? Probably the only decent legacy of the Xia era

[Goldie.7]

Mings has been a liability in the last couple of games. The break will hopefully give him a chance to get his head back on.

Best form in the league currently and now only 4 pts behind the bitter birds. We’re on a roll! Bristol City result doesn’t mean that much now. As it stands, if we finish 6th, we’d play SU in playoffs. Personally, I’d rather avoid Albion til the final.

I would rather play them in the semi-final.

I’d rather they imploded, missed out on the play offs altogether and then went out of business.

Grealish's goal, by the way. Holy smokes.

Goal of the season contender.

In any normal season yes, but we have been rather spoilt this year... Grealish's volley, McGinn's, Hutton's run....!

They could have had a 5 man advantage and it wouldn't have stopped this https://twitter.com/ArcticLions/status/1116068891543900160

Kodj was great tonight. Typically a bit greedy but he stretched them more than our two winger do. Some great endeavour and no little skill. I would play him Saturday instead of Albert. Provides some support for Tammy

[JUAN PABLO]

kodj seemed back to his best


mcginista was class

abrahams and hourianee I thought were below par to be fair

well done the back 4 , thought they were all excellent at ten men

jack was jack .. best player in the championship next to SJM

This seriously needs a like button.

McGinn is as good as having 2 players, immense performance from him in the 2nd half. We showed our class in the end. Thought Rotherham were just cloggers.
Ref was still a c**t.

When you are down to ten men you can park the bus or decide attack is the best form of defence. We did the latter and with the likes of Grealish, McGinn and Kodjia running at the them they had too much to worry about at the back to throw the kitchen sink at us.

[PaulWinch again]

Kodj was excellent when he came on.

[CJ]

The way Jack rolled the ball in his feet and took 4 of their players out was just mesmerising

There are some errors in your post that I have corrected:

IF When we win on Saturday and IF Albion lose, we'll only be one point behind them: they'll start to sweat then! 

[Lastfootstamper]

Last three away games we've gone a goal done and come back to win them all!

Literally unbeatable. We score first, you lose. You score first, you lose.

[Nunkin1965]

Sensational win tonight.
Brilliant work by manager, staff and players.
