Great result for Rotherham last night, and Wigan still ahead of them with games in hand. Pretty much looks like play-offs again for the unwashed, although 7th place aren't far behind them now, if they do have a slip up.

Can’t help but like Defoe, for every ticket sold since he resigned, £1 will go to the Bradley Lowery Foundation, nice gesture.

Not sure if he would this season mind. Work Mackems say one of the issues they don't have enough cloggers and thumpers for that league.

My mackem mate reckons he would be a bad appointment with the team they have and the players they’ve signed as they try to play football and their weakness is that they get roughed up and are not as physically strong as others in the league, that and they have a youngish squad. They sold Wyke at the start of the season too, who would have been better suited to Colin’s style rather than say Defoe.

I don't think Defoe is a gamble. They'll see in training if he still has the legs, they're not compelled to play him.

 

Colin is a decent managerial appointment, too. It could all work out well for them, though obviously there's still a lot of football to be played.

Yeah true, only thing is that if he isn’t played, their fans will be foaming at the mouth. The owners have shown that they are inclined to bow to fan demand in the past. Looks like Grant McCann is in talks, which is basically just another Johnson. Going to be interesting how it goes.

I do. Reading between the lines, the managers quotes earlier in January, looks like the owners wanted Defoe back, the manager didn't and they took their choice. If so, considering their position, that's a gamble.
