April Absolutely brilliant month! I've made some changes going into the Brentford game with Barcelona on the horizon and Brentford being bottom of the league. 15 minutes into the game and we've hit the woodwork 3 times, come on! We've finally taken the lead fter 48 minutes, Gamal plays a ball through to Foden who squares it to Flores to hits in. It's 2 after 54 minutes, Foden hits in a freekick, Brown heads back and Boxall heads in. Boxall gets his brace after good attacking play from the Millers, Theate plays it to Boxall who hits in low from just inside the box after 66 minutes. Brentford were lucky we only scored 3, with an xG of 4.21 I'd of liked to have scored more. Aston Villa take the lead after 20 minutes as Samu heads in Douglas Luiz's corner. Foden equalised after 26 minutes with a 30 yard freekick, that was beautiful! Hubana has missed 2 clear chances so far, this could be a league winning game, hope it doesn't cost us. Boxall has come off the bench to give us the lead after 76 minutes. 3 of the 5 subs come together, Brown dribbles down the left, plays it to Flores, he turns, plays it to Boxall who's free in the 6 yard box, he doesn't hit it the best but it hits off Valdez and deflects in. All we need against Leeds is a point and we'll be Champions. It was a really poor first half, hopefully we do something in the second. It's Leeds who take the lead, Lino takes it past his marker, hits a long ball over to Aguiar, he plays it across the box and Skipp hits in after 55 minutes. Hojlund equalises after 63, Foden hits in a freekick, Leeds heads out, Juliao heads back in and Hojlund past the goalkeeper. We were poor but a point is all we needed and a point is what we got. Champions! FA Cup We were heavy favourites and we showed them why , Tough game but we can beat Chelsea. Champions League We were brilliant at home and equalled them away, really impressed. Juliao gave us a good start and then Hubana missed a sitter and I was thinking is this another day we don't take our chances, I was wrong. We were brilliant, Foden scored a massive deflection but Phillips scored an absolute belter and Hubana made up for his early miss. I've said a few times this season our goals vs xG could be better, this is a game where we've been clinical. We should be able to hold on to a 4 goal difference and in the final we'll face either Spurs or Real. Next Month With the league wrapped up, can we do the quadruple? We're only 3 games away from it!

Champions! 6 times in a row! After a draw against Leeds, meaning we can't beat Manchester City's record points, we're title winners!

March An incredible month ! We take the lead against Everton after a great team goal that's finished by Juliao with an assist from Foden after 18 minutes. We dominated from start to finish, we had 29 shots but only 7 on target with an xG of 2.79, Everton didn't have a shot, our finishing let us down. Hojlund especially had a bad day. We're without Becerra, Brown and even Tapia against Manchester City, Bitshiabu is having to start at LWB. Oh what a run from Bitshiabu, he wins the ball, dribbles down the left for over half the pitch, turns and plays a nice cross into the box where he finds Phillips in space who volleys in after 11 minutes. Bitshiabu has been like prime Roberto Carlos today, he's been putting in brilliant crosses and winning everything and he's just put us 2 - 0 up, Hubana who's missed two sitters hit's in a freekic, Hojlund heads it back across goal and Bitshiabu is there to hit in from about 4 yards out after 57 minutes. What a win, it was the Bitshiabu show. We're all over Southampton in this first half but we're missing sitters! I have rotated but still! We finally take the lead after 35 minutes after Pitchford heads in Gamals cross. It's a poor pass from Bitshiabu, Devine hits a long ball over, Ewens collects and hits past Kovar, Southampton equalise with their first shot on target. Miley gives us the lead after 57 minutes, heading in Flores' corner. That's an awful pass from Tavares, Pitchford takes it, dribbles pasts his man and hits in after 58 minutes to make it 3. We battered Southampton, it would have been nice to score more. I think we're on form to actually beat Manchester City's point total, we do have Chelsea to play yet but we're at home but every other game is very winnable. FA Cup We got revenge on Arsenal, we were brilliant! And a draw vs a Championship side in the semi final should see is through to the final. Champions League Boxall and Miley showing Foden and Juliao how it's done. That's a tough draw though, we've already lost against them this season, hopefully it spurs the lads on. International Callups Finally, my English players are being used for the national team! Boxall, Tremble and Livramento are being called up for the first time. And two of them made their debut . Youth intake We got a potential CB and maybe a LB but it wasn't the best intake and some of the good talents have awful personalities, I have very good backroom staff so I'm going to have to check who needs replacing or I've just had a bad year. Best 50 Wonderkids Awesome to see an academy player in MacDonald in 4th, Young has been here for the last couple of years but I'm shocked at Guilfoyle, he's come through the youth and I'm probably letting him go at the end of the season, he's not good enough. Next Month Should be able to get maximum points in the league though West Ham are a challenge. Barcelona may knock us out of the Champions League, we'll see but I should get an FA Cup Final.

February We're not at our best but we've been getting results, Arsenal were awful, didn't have a shot on target and still beat us! We were lucky to draw against Liverpool, they were the better side, our key players struggled in the rain and Kovar was MOTM for a reason. Both Foden and Juliao are massively out of form. We're at home against Manchester United so hopefully we see a massive improvement from our Liverpool game. United are countering in numbers, Livramento fouls the attacker and it's a pen to United, Mount steps up and.. Kovar saves in the 52nd minute! We take the lead after 61 minutes, Hubana heading in Fodens corner! What a close game! We had a couple of chances in the game, hitting the woodwork twice but that was a very tight game and a good win! Kovar MOTM for the 2nd game in a row. Another home game and hopefully we can build on our Manchester United win. As I'm typing this, out of form Foden missed a sitter. We're all over Newcastle, we've had so many chances, we've had over 70% possession in the first half, we just can't put the ball into the net! I cannnot belive what I've watched, we've had 4 clear cut chances and they have been proper chances, Flores has come off the bench but missed some incredible chances. We've taken the lead in the 91st minute! Finally! Hubana heads in Becerra's cross! We've had 23 shots, 13 on target with an xG of 3.35, we deserved that win! Newcastle GK Grabara ended up with an 8.2 rating! Away at Hull, we smashed them 7 - 1 earlier in the season and I'm hoping we can give some confidence back into Foden and Juliao here. We've won a penalty in the 43rd minute and that should be a red card! Hull are down to 10 for a 2nd yellow, Foden steps up and it's saved! It's Archie Brown who gives us the lead after 45+2, cutting in from the left and smashing in. Livramento makes it 2 after 69 minutes. Corner comes in, it's cleared to Juliao, he hits it first time to Livramento who hits it first time from just outside the box and in. Flores' ends his goal drought, Kimble and Juliao play a one two, Kimble hits into the box, Flores picks up, spins and smashes in after 79 minutes. It's 4 after 88 minutes, Flores again. Brilliant drive into the box by Pitchford, he plays it across goal, Juliao smashes it and it's off the post, Flores is there to hit into the massive open space. We've been brilliant in this second half, we had chances to score more, 4.27xG, this is more like it! It's another game against Arsenal, I feel like we play them every month ! Arsenal are not in the best form but they're a good team and we're away. It's been a poor game, Arsenal haven't had a shot on goal but they take the lead after 61 minutes, Saliba threw in to Saka, he's hit across goal, Kovar has been caught out and Kossounou has poked it into his own net. What a terrible game of football and then our unbeaten streak is over, beaten by a team who didn't manage a shot on target. Arsenal GK Tobiasz was MOTM. We're clear the summit but i'm a little salty in the manner of our first loss of the season . Carabao Cup See above post FA Cup We couldn't put our chances away, Foden came off the bench to set up Flores' in a deserved win. Oh look, another game against Arsenal . Champions League We can absolutely beat Leverkusen, they were lucky to draw against us earlier in the season. Next Month Cup wins please .

Carabao Cup Final Liverpool should have beaten us at the start of the month but we've picked up form and Liverpool have just lost to Wolves, we have a chance. Livramento and Juliao have picked up their form, Foden is playing poor at the moment, I had to insist he play better so hopefully he does it here. Line ups: Phillips is suspended but Gamal is more than enough to play DM today and Theate is out injured so I've given Tremble the nod ahead of Kossounou. Liverpool kick off. 4th minute: Hubana hits in the freekick, it's not cleared properly, Vivian heads to Juliao who unleashes a fierce volley from outside the box but it's over. 9th minute: Some bad passing from both teams, Hojlund steals it but is tackled, Hubana picks up, dribbles through two men but Hernandez makes a good save to deny. It's a corner to the Millers, Foden hits in, Hojlund heads at goal but Hernandez saves for another corner. Gamal hits in this time and it's cleared by Liverpool. 44th minute: Szoboszlai hits a 25 yard freekick and Kovar has to make a great save to deny. Liverpool with a corner, it's hit in and we head out. Very even first half. The Millers kick off the 2nd half. 54th minute: Becerra dribbles down the left after receiving a long pass from Hubana, he crosses in and Hubana is there to head in! 1 - 0 to the Millers! Konate will be wanting that one back, he missed his header. 71st minute: Boxall is back from injury, he's coming on with Miley and Flores to replace Juliao, Foden and Hojlund. 81st minute: A poor ball from Tremble is intercepted by Frimpong, he hads it to Echeverri, Bitshiabu tackles him and Bajcetic goes for a glory but it's over. 86th minute: Kossounou is coming on at DM to replace Gamal and Kimble is coming on at RWB to replace Livramento, they're both shattered. There's 7 minutes of added time. But that's it. 3 IN A ROW. We love the Carabao Cup

January Good enough month. Brighton game was frustrating and thankfully we'd qualified before the Barcelona loss. There's more rotation against Crystal Palace. We take the lead after 52 minutes, Brown throws to Foden, he plays it back and Brown crosses in. Livramento heads it into the six yard box where Juliao volleys in. It's 2 after 54 minutes. Hojlund heading in Browns cross after Lima missed the ball. Hojlund heads in again to make it 3 after 62 minutes after a cross from Pitchford. It's 4 and Pitchford is back on the scoresheet, Tapia crosses, Boxall heads it, it takes a massive deflection and Pitchford is there to poke in after 85 minutes. We were brilliant in that second half. It's Hubana heading in Fodens corner after just 4 minutes to give us an early lead against Norwich. It's 2 after 49 minutes, Vivian plays a freekick over the top, Hubana hits into the six yard box, Ansen saves straight to Hojlund who hits in. Hubana makes it 3, heading in Mileys corner after 75 minutes. Hubana finished on a 10 rating, he's just amazing. We take the lead against Brighton after some good passing between Livramento and Kimble, Kimble plays it to Hubana who slots in after 20 minutes. Kossounou comes on at half time as Bitshiabu has a knock, plays a poor freekick, Prass steals, Brighton counters and Sesko hits in after 46 minutes. I could see he was going to make an awful decision the whole time, what has happened to Kossounou this season! We had chances but it's a draw. Still flying high. Carabao Cup Easy home win and a new record. Too many youth players in the 2nd leg . I made some subs and we were a different level. I think we can beat Liverpool. FA Cup Easy, easy . Hopefully we'll play better this time compared to our recent league game. Champions League Our finishing was not good enough, look at that xG! Not good enough against Barcelona either. By far Fodens worse game for us, our key players went missing. Deadline Day It sasn't actually happened, it's in early Feb but I've already finished our business. It's a very boring year for transfers for Millers fans this season. I've sold van den Berg for 15mil and brought in Stephan Stenbring for £12mil. I was looking at Goncalo Inacio who's at Newcastle but he'd cost nearly 80mil and want 300k+ wages, it isn't happening. He has some work to do but has potential. I've brought back some loans and sent more out. Conteh and Mitrovic will be 5th/6th Striker if I need, Sostik is my 6th CM or 3rd DM. We have a full squad. Next Month That is a very difficult month and there's a chance our unbeaten run might come to an end, I'd love to win the Carabao Cup for the 3rd time in a row.

December A really good month except the Bayer 04 game! That was frustrating! Home to Aston Villa makes my 500th game in management, hope we can top that off with a win! It's a magical goal from Phil Foden as he bends a freekick that hits in the inside of the post and in after 27 minutes. Mistake at the back from Pau Torres, Foden intercepts his pass, plays it to Hubana who makes it 2 after 37 minutes. Foden makes it 3 after 52 minutes, Phillips hits a long shot, it takes a deflection of Foden and beats the 'keeper but Bazunu should be doing better. Foden is fouled in the box and it's a pen! He sends the goalkeeper the wrong way and it's his hat-trick after 72 minutes! In the 92nd minute it's 5. Hubana hits in the freekick, Kimble beats Torres in the air, he heads it down to Pitchford who hits in. What a game, 5 - 0 and Villa had 0 shots! I remember when Yuri Alberto a few seasons back was gunning for top goalscorer and today he hasn't managed to get a shot away! Foden and Hubana are tired but West Ham are a very good team that I can't take for granted and I can always sub them later. It's Juliao who gives us the led after 27 minutes, Foden hits in a corner, it's not cleared properly and Juliao drives into the box and hits in. We were lucky for it not to be level as Elliot blocks off Kovar as Kolo Muani headed in. It's an equaliser for West Ham after 73 minutes, a freekick comes in, Chalobah picks up, hits in and Silveira wins the header and it loops over Kovar. Bitshiabu puts us back ahead after 83 minutes heading in Flores' corner. It's a silly tackle and Brown gives away a penalty, Barco steps up and slots into the corner past Kovar to make it 2 - 2 after 89 minutes. It ended in a draw, both teams had chances, Flores heading an effort against the post. I didn't notice Livramento was on a 6.2, I just didn't have any more subs! Alot of tired players and I'm happy with a draw. We took the lead after just 11 minutes against Leeds. Foden hits in a freekick, Vandevoordt dives to save it, misses it and it leaves Bitshiabu to volley it into the net. It's an O.G to put us 2 - 0 after 19 minutes, Foden hits in a corner, it's cleared, Juliao hits in and it deflects to Foden, he plays a one-two with Phillips, shoots with the outside of his boot and Ampadu tries to knock it off for a corner but hits it into his own net. Leeds pull one back after 30 minutes, Triantis hits a long ball over the top, Bitshiabu loses his marker, Lino runs down and hits past Kovar. It's 3 - 1 to the Millers, Foden hit a quality ball over the top, Hojlund picked it up and hit is past the goalkeeper after 39 minutes. It's 4 after 46 minutes, good passing from the Millers, Foden outwide to Becerra, he dribbles into the box and hits a low ball across goal where Hojlund was ready to hit in at the near post. Tapia comes off the bench to score again! Good passing from the Millers, Kimble who's filling in at DM hits a ball out right to Tapia who dribbles into the box and makes it 5 after 82 minutes. What a victory! 1st vs 2nd but it's going to be tough as we're away at the Bridge. Chelsea take the lead after a quick counter, Andrade plays through Ferguson who hits in after 40 minutes. Honestly, I have no idea how he's onside, he's not on in the VAR check! I think even Kovar though he was off and he didn't come out for it! We equalised after 43 minutes as Foden plays in Hojlund who strikes in. Fofana should have done much better! That is a huge mistake and it's 2 - 1 to the Millers after 46 minutes! It's passed back to Trubin, he passes out but his pass is awful, Hubana just hits it from 20 yards into the empty net, wow! It's 3 after 51 minute, absolutely brilliant from Hojlund as he steals the ball from a dawdling CB, dribbles half the pitch, he's tackled but Foden hits into the empty net. Just 2 minutes later Chelsea make it 2 - 3, Duranville hits in the corner, it's not cleared properly, Gallagher hits it and it goes through a sea of bodies into the net, Hubana could have done better to defend that. It's 4 to the Millers! Everytime Chelsea tackle us, we get the ball back, it's with Becerra out left, he crosses in and Hubana heads off the post and in! There's 8 minutes of added time!!! I have no idea what for! It's a very good victory in the end, finishing and mistakes were the difference. 1st vs 3rd but we're at home so I'd like to think we're favourites! Becerra has just come off with a lower leg injury, let's hope it isn't serious. That was a terrible first half, we didn't manage a shot on target, they managed one. It's 1 - 0 the Millers! A brilliant tackle from Bitshiabu, Phillips picks up, plays to Hubana who hits a ball over to the charging Hojlund, he picks up, shoots, it's off the 'keepers legs and in after 54 minutes. Brilliant counter! Instany reply from Spurs as Phillips heads in Pafundi's corner after 57 minutes. Hojlund should have give us the lead back but he headed a massive chance over! It's 1 - 1, Spurs were the better side but Hojlund should have won it for us. Having to rotate heavily against Leicester, Foden, Hubana, Hojlund and Juliao all need rest. Becerra is only out for 2 - 4 weeks thankfully. We're having so many shots and some good chances but we can't put the ball into the net! Hubana has come off the bench to head in after 83 minutes! Brilliant cross from youngster Tapia who's come on for Brown! Tapia really has been showing his stuff this month. More rotation against Wolves, we have some tired players! Gamal and Kossounou are back from AFCON though. We're ahead after just 7 minutes, brilliant ball through to Hubana, he strikes it, it's saved straight to Hojlund who hits into the net. Hubana doubles after 36 minutes, Foden plays a lovely ball over, Hubana beat the offside trap and hit past Soriano. There's a penaly shout and it's given! Foden steps up, it's hit the inside of the post and JUST goes over the line on the other side of the net! It's a bit lucky but it's 3 - 0 in the 43rd minute. Wolves have had a couple of good chances and they pull one back after Isaken plays it across goal and finds Letang who hits in after 53 minutes. It's 4 after 61 minutes! Foden takes a freekick, he plays it to Vivian who plays it on to Livramento who is onside and hits past the goalkeeper. Is that another penalty!? Phillips is down in the box and it is! Foden steps up again but it's saved! Hubana makes it 5 after 75 minutes! Tapia throws in to Miley, he crosses, it's not cleared, Hojlund heads back and Hubana beats Soriano to the ball and heads in. Wolves pull anothe rback after 88 minutes! We don't clear the corner properly, Beck picks up, passes to Isaksen who cuts in and curls it low past Kovar. That was a brilliant win, Soriano had to make so many saves, it could have been a cricket score. We're still unbeaten! Hubana and Foden are just so so so good. Champions League I have no idea how we didn't win this, we had so many chances. Thankfully Hojlund rescued a point. We have Arsenal and Barcelona still to play and they're tough games, we haven't had the best Champions League campaign this season. FA Cup Draw At home to Sheff Weds? Bring it on! Carabao Cup West Ham will be tough but we gotta beat the best to win competitions! Youth intake That could be an interesting intake with a CM, Fullback and a CB. Let's see what March/April brings. World Footballer Sorry, Foden who is Football of the Year and World Player of the Year only made the bench? WHAT!? Hubana is so good. He's got potential it seems to be the best striker in the world once Haaland retires. Next Month It's not the hardest month until our Champions League games, hoping we can get a Carabao Cup final. I need to bring some loan players back as they're not getting enough game time, I actually have 3 players at Burnley and 1 isn't getting any game time so I'm bringing all 3 back to spite them . We could see some movement, there's a CB who's keen to move, big clubs are interested and so am I.

November Could not ask for a better month!!! The second game of our double-header against Arsenal. It's Foden who puts us 1 - 0 up after 20 minutes, Livramento runs down the right, plays it to Juliao, he plays it low into the box and Foden finishes. Arsenal equalise after 58 minutes with Havertz heading in Odegaards corner. There's a 93rd minute goal... and it's to Rotherham! It's been 17 games since Arsenal have lost in the league and Pitchford just headed in Becerra's cross! We had so many chances to win this game and we so deserved that winner. I've had to rotate against Everton, Foden is too tired, Hubana isn't fully fit, Vivian is injured, it's going to be a tough match. We take the lead after 4 minutes, Juliao wins the ball, we counter, Boxall plays through Hojlund who hits in from a tight angle. That was pretty much the game, we had a couple of half chances, Everton didn't register a shot on target. We've lost Livramento for a month, it's a huge blow, especially since Gamal is away at the AFCON. Injuries and tiredness from the international break means I'm missing some key players against Manchester City. Youngster Kimble is having to start at RWB. Hubana goes superman! It's from a push and we've won a pen! Foden slots into the top corner after 21 minutes. To add to my injury list, Hubana has to be replaced as he has a knock. He did come back exhausted from international duty. We just scored such a good goal but Hojlund is just offside, that's gutting! Now Phillips has to come off as he's injured. A deserved win in the end, Kimble was brilliant at RWB! Phillips scored a 20 yarder to give us the lead against Fulham, finishing a brilliant attacking move after 35 minutes. Bitshiabu puts us 2 up after 43 minutes, heading in Hubana's corner. Foden makes it 3 after 44 minutes, brilliant attacking move again, Hubana cuts it back to Foden to strikes off the underside of the bar and in. Wilson Tapia after a MOTM display in the Champions League comes off the bench to score his first Rotherham goal after 74 minutes, he's only playing due to internationals/injuries/subs, he's my 4th RWB/LWB. That was a good solid win. We're flying high. Champions League Two much needed wins, considering how much we had to rotate against Olympiacos, that was a great win. The Best 50 Players We only have Foden, think it's harsh Becerra isn't in there. Hubana could be there in a couple of years, maybe even Juliao. This is Becerra: Next Month December is usually a good month for us! 9 games in 26 days, hopefully we'll give it our best!

October After the international break there was still about 9 days inbetween games so a friendly for fitness seemed like a good idea. We started the month losing Miley for 2 - 3 months which was a blow but we've been fine without so far. Anyway, to the games! That's a quality counter attack to give us the lead against Hull. Foden wins the ball back and plays it to Hubana, he dribbles half the length of the pitch and gives it back to Foden, Foden hits a quality ball over to find Hubana charging in, he collects and puts it in after 21 minutes. Could see that coming after it wasn't cleared very well, Hull equalise in the 30th minute with a curling effort from Edozie. Foden plays a quality ball through, Hojlund has the pace to beat his man and is taken down for it, it's a penalty to the Millers, Foden steps up and it's the top corner, we're back in the lead after 33 minutes. We're 3 - 1 up after 48 minutes but it's a total fluke, Phillips playes it to Becerra who shoots and it takes a massive deflection, the GK can't do anything about that. That's a brilliant attacking move from the Millers, Phillips plays in Juliao who makes it 4 - 1 after 57 minutes. It's 5 after 66 minutes, Hojlund heads in Hubanas freekick. This is brilliant from the Millers, such good passing, Foden to Hojlund who makes it 6 after 75 minutes. It's another Millers pen and Hojlund is taking for a chance of his hat-trick. He hits low and past Cox to make it 7 after 88 minutes. Cox has made some incredible saves in the depth of the game to deny an even bigger scoreline! What a game! Our xG was 5.01! That's a first for me! Even though we're battering Southampton, they take the lead in bizzare fasion, Moder crosses it following a cleared corner and he mishits it into the bottom corner, total fluke but it's in after 22 minutes. Brown with a cross, it's not cleared by Soton and Hubana picks up to hit in after 32 minutes. We make it 1 - 2 to the Millers, Vivian founds Boxall who runs into the box, crosses in and Hojlund heads past Kelleher after 54 minutes, about time we've had enough chances. It's a red card to the Millers seconds later as Theate is sent off for a 2nd yellow. Juliao makes it 1 - 3 to the Millers even with 10 men, a brilliant through ball from Boxall, Juliao is free to hit in after 65 minutes. Brilliant win, especially when we went down to 10. Still nicely top of the summit. He's giving me a proper selection headache whether I should be playing him or Gamal at DM. Carbao Cup The scoreline absolutely flatters us, Arsenal should have taken the lead early on the difference in the first half was Phil Foden, he was unplayable. It was such a tight game until I made subs in the 70th minute bringing a couple of youth on etc and we seemed to do better! At home against Villa, we can win this. Champions League Coming off the back of a 7 - 1 win, I didn't change my side and we struggled to break Celtic down. They had possession, didn't do alot with it but we managed to get a win. World Golden Ball So close for Foden! Maybe next year! Youth development I didn't know buying youth players so they're HG between 18 and 21 counted . Next Month Big league games, we need to keep winning in the Champions League, need to keep our form going.

September Not the loss I was expecting but a very solid month in the league. Pitchford gets the nod to start against Spurs, hopefully he can prove me right with his pace. Spurs take the lead after 16 minutes, Kulusevski cuts in and I think it's a deflection? Kossounou might have locked Kovars vision or it's just poor from Kossounou which isn't the first time this season? I can't tell but Kossonou dropped to a 6.4. We should have equalised but Pitchford mistimed his run and is offside, that's poor. Hubana is coming on at half time, we've been awful. Is that a pen? Porro pushed Hojlund who looked like he was about to head in and it's a second yellow for Porro, he's off after 52 minutes! Foden steps up.. and he HAMMERs that it, sheer power! 53 minutes it's 1 - 1 and we need to take advantage of 10 men. It's a fluke goal but we're 1 - 2 up after 64 minutes! Foden loses the ball but it's to Gamal, he shoots and it's a deflection in! Not sure how Foden got an assist for that! What a ball from Archie Brown, he came on for Kossonou at half time, he plays it over, Hojlund collects and plays it to Foden to hit in after 72 minutes, 1 - 3! Is that another penalty!? Boxall is back from injury and has just replaced Foden, so it's Hubana to take the pen! He steps up and it's past McKenna in the 81st minute, 1 - 4! What a second half! We're at home to Liverpool but Echerverri is against us and he loves a goal against The Millers. It's the Millers that take the lead! Bitshiabu is back from injury and heads in Gamals corner after 21 minutes! It's that man again, Hubana makes it 2 - 0! The ball is cleared by Liverpool, Kossounou hits a ball back over, Foden collects, hits across goal and Hubana charges in and nods it past Kobel after 30 minutes. Vivian makes it 3 after 70 minutes! Heading in Hubana's freekick. Good quick attacking from the Millers! MacDonald through to Miley, he's tackled but Hubana hits it first time and it's 4 after 82 minutes. Hubana feels like a cheat code right now. Liverpool started well but they ended up with 0 shots on target! After our loss to Dinamo we're away at 2nd in the league Manchester United. Ha! I shouted out WHAT when I saw Manchester United had a potential penalty after what looked like a good tackle, it was and it was no pen! That is a shocking clearence from Bitshiabiu, Garnacho heads it, it hits off Livramento into the path of Kroupi to make it 1 - 0 to Man Utd, there was some luck involved there! IS THAT MACDONALD!? Vivian hits a freekick, MacDonald my youth player is onside, uses his pace and hits it first time to equalise after 91 minutes!!! Hojlund missed a sitter and then went off injured, his normal replacement Flores is also injured so that's a huge goal from MacDonald! Still nicely at the summit. Carabao Cup Brentford were good in the first half and could have scored more. Thankfully we came out in the second looking like we wanted it. Away at Arsenal, probably the most difficult tie I could have got but we did hammer them not too long ago and we've had cup success again them in the past when Boxall scored 4 past them. Champions League Pitchford was sent off for a scissor tackle, we were still the better team, I should have made subs earlier as it was my youngster uptop on his own for a good 60 minutes. Their GK was MOTM and you just knew they were gonna get a goal. International Debut Bordalas is an odd one. Phillips doesn't get call up anymore, Pitchford doesn't get a call up anymore, both World Cup winners, but my CB/RB who's barely played this season due to injury and is my 3rd RWB and 6th CB, yep, he's now an England international. Next Month Hoping this is going to be a green month, I have to beat Celtic as my girlfriends Dad is a Rangers fan . We also need to get points after the Dinamo loss.

August I couldn't ask for a better month, 4 league wins and 2 trophies, just brilliant. We start the season away at Norwich! Foden is injured, Miley is recovering from a knock and only makes the bench so it's Boxall who gets a chance to show us what we can do. Becerra is tripped and we win a penalty after just 4 minutes, Hojlund steps up and hits in the bottom corner. Norwich equalise after 11 minues though! A brilliant long ball from Yazbek finds Soonsup-Bell to hits in, Bitshiabu is playing him onside. We restore the lead after 21 minutes, Livramento throws in, we play it round, Juliao drives it into the box and plays a square ball to Becerra who is free and slots in. It's 3 after 35 minutes, Becerra curls in a cross and Pitchford heads in. Archie Brown who's actually on at CB sets up Juliao with a ball across goal to make it 4 after 86 minutes. In the end it was a great win and Norwich were lucky we only scored 4, we had so many chances. A few tired players and a few injuries so we've rotated a little against Palace but we're at home and should win. We finally take the lead after 39 minutes, some great passing, Gamal hits it to Hojlund who flicks in the path of Hubana to strike low past the keeper. Hojlund makes it 2 after 58 minutes, Hubana hits in the frekick, Kossounou heada cross goal and Hojlund heads in. Not our best day in front of goal but a win is a win, it took Palace 88 minutes to have their first shot and they didn't manage one on target. Great in that aspect, we just had alot of chances. Newcastle take the lead after just 4 minutes. Timber plays in Tonali who makes Kossounou looks like a mug, he shoots, it's off the woodwork and in. We've been poor but Foden is there two recieve and play in every other pass, we attack down the left, Hojlund plays it to Juliao and it's 1 - 1 after 38 minutes, that was class from Foden. Hubana comes off the bench to make it 1 - 2 to the Millers, Miley hits in the corner, Hubana heads it at goal, Grabara saves with his palms and spills it, Hubana strikes it into the bottom corner after 73 minutes. That's brilliant from Miley, he plays through Hojlund who hits in to make it 1 - 3. Is it a foul? Becerra goes to shoot but seems to be pushed off the ball and we have a pen in the 93rd minute, Hubana steps up and it's slotted into the bottom corner, 1 - 4! Hubana might be starting against Brighton. I can't remember the last time I had to sub off 2 CBs for underperforming but the changes worked. Hubana strikes again, he puts us 1 - 0 up after 22 minutes. Foden loses out to Gilmour but his second attempt finds Hubana in the box who hits in. Flores makes it 2 in the 92nd minute after a brilliant passs from Hubana, he dribbles down and slots in, he should have put us 2 up earlier so glad he's made up and got us out of sight as Brighton were pushing for the equaliser and forced some good saves from Kovar. Usually when we break a record we lose right after, hopefully this time we don't . We're top but we did have four easy opening games. Hubana has just been class. Carabao Cup Draw Would have like a non-Prem team or to be at home but we should be able to rotate our squad and still win. Champions League Draw Not the worst draw, Bayer, Arsenal and Barcelona are all difficult teams to play, especially with two of those games being away but we know we can beat them. Deadline Day Nothing to see here . I've been scouting, I can't improve. It's either players I can't fit in due to then reducing playing time for youth that can improve or CBs that would improve the team that cost silly money and no one wants my CBs so it just doesn't work. We have a good enough squad anyway. This is what I mean by silly money, 186mil on 1 player is madness! We're still only 9th in the wage table, I thought we'd be higher by now. Incase I need to make any chances in January, we have some money spare . Next Month Some nice cup games but that's a difficult league run, we'll do well to come out of that with 3 wins.

Uefa Super Cup We've just won our opening game 4 - 1 and Spurs have just beat West Ham of all teams 4 - 0. This is going to be a tough game! Foden is back, I think we're favourites. Rotherham United kick off the first half. 9th minute: Bitshiabu goes close, heading over Fodens corner. 13th minute: Kossounou heads at goal but Kotarski saves. He throws out and Spurs look to attack, Mainoo plays in Sarr and it's 1 - 0 Spurs! 19th minute: Chol-Min crosses and Pedrola heads just wide! Let off for the Millers. 26th minute: It's Vivian scoring his first ever Rotherham goal! Gamal hits in the corner, it's hit out by Spurs but it's straight to Juliao, he plays ot to Kossounou who plays it to Vivian on the edge of the box. Vivian dribbles in, shoots on his weak foot and it's off the post and in! 1 - 1! It's even at the end of the first half. Tottenham Hotspur kick off the second half. 58th minute: Pedrola cuts in and shoots over! Close again! Think we need some subs, Foden is having a shocker. 60th minute: Brown, Theate, Phillips and Miley replace Bitshiabu, Beccera, Gamal and Foden. 70th minute: Our final sub as Flores replaces Hojlund. 90+4: There's a very late goal! And it's the same combo as the Norwich game meaning it's a Rotherham goal!!! Good passing and Brown crosses in from the left and Juliao hits in!!! We've won the Uefa Super Cup! What a close game!

Community Shield We've won the Community Shield 4 times in 4 attempts and 4 in a row, can we make it 5? City are a very difficult team to beat, in our last match I lost to them in the FA Cup. We both have our first eleven out! Should make a good game! Manchester City kick off the first half. 5th minute: Foden hits in the corner, City head out, Gamal hits back in, Meslier doesn't catch it, Hojlund has a free header and he headed over! Big miss! 8th minute: Bitshiabu heads in Fodens corner this time though, 1 - 0 Millers. 9th minute: He does it again . 2 - 0 Millers. 21st minute: City block to deny Pitchford, Foden corner and Meslier makes a huge save to deny Bitshiabu, Foden in again but City clear. 24th minute: We're passing well, Foden plays in Hojlund and that's a big save from Meslier! We hit in the corner and it's cleared. 31st minute: Brilliant passing from the Millers, being patient and waiting for space, Becerra finishes off the move by playing in Hojlund who hits in to make it 3. Honestly, he looks offside to me but we'll take it! 33rd minute: City pull one back after Musiala hits in a 20 yard low drive, Kovar will want that one back. 43rd minute: Foden hits a free kick but it's straight into the wall, Juliao collects, we pass it around, Foden on the right, plays it across goal and Hojlund hits in to make it 4 - 1! Rotherham United kick off. 47th minute: Ball plays in Haaland and that's a great save from Kovar to deny! 58th minute: Close for City! Musiala tries a curling effort, I thought it was the top corner but it's just wide of the post! 72nd minute: Boxall and Hubana replace Juliao and Pitchford. 80th minute: Theate, Phillips and MacDonald replace Kossounou, Livramento and Foden. 82nd minute: Kone goes for a long shot and it's only just over! 90th minute: Brilliant counter from Rotherham, Hubana brings it down, plays a one two, plays in Boxall who strikes wide! He could of made it 5! 5 in a row. Honestly, I think Kovar will be my #1 until he gets too old which I don't think I'll be playing this save that long .

Season 9 - 2031/2032 This has been a really boring pre-season. I can't find youngsters to bring in but I don't really want to right now due to having some good youngsters I've loaned out and a couple I've kept to actually play, the squad is quite full, even after a couple of big sales I have players already to replace so I've bought no one. I've made a couple of backroom changes but nothing noteworthy. It's been pretty much press continue. The only noteworthy is that grey players are back in certain national teams due to the update and I forgot to sort that out when the new patch hit the other day, oh well. Transfers I couldn't turn that sort of money down for Gray as he was now my 5th MC. Gyokeres was declining and I wanted him off the wage bill. Everyone else has gone out to play football. That's about it. I don't think any other changes will be made unless someone wants to come in for Theate but my original CB target has already moved and I don't know much of an upgrade he'd of been. We have a brilliant team, we're Champions of Europe and we've won the Prem 5 times in a row. Not until we get proper funding through ya know, ticket sales through the new stadium like I keep banging on about etc can I splash silly cash on players. We're in good shape, it'll probably do for this season. We'd make so much more money! International Goal He's scored plenty here but it's nice to see Kossounou who's got interest from Saudi get his first goal, I'm not looking to sell but I'd probably be able to replace if they came in. Season Start We have two trophies to try and win but not a bad league start at all. We'll see how August treats us and to see if we need to improve. I do have a transfer budget of 167mil and 600k wages if I need.

An absolutely brilliant season. Still need a season where I win all 4 proper trophies and I still want to beat Manchester City's record points, it's difficult . 1 more year and hopefully we'll be able to build a new stadium! We have 70k fans waiting for a season ticket! Foden was well worth it.

Champions League Final And it's against Real Madrid, I don't expect to win this one. Hojlund returns from injury and Foden is fit enough to play after a knock. Rotherham United kick off the first half. 1st minute: I thought we had a penalty shout but it doesn't matter! 24 seconds and Foden hits in Juliao's cross!!! 1 - 0 up! 2nd minute: Good football from Real and good defending from the Millers but Osimhen still find a way to force a brilliant save from Kovar. Real win the corner, it's hit in and Kovar saves the headed effort. 11th minute: SO CLOSE! Livramento plays a quality one-two with Juliao, Livramento dribbles into the box but his shot is just over! 12th minute: Valverde should have probably scored! Corner comes in, he's free to head it but heads it over! 23rd minute: Pitchford is played through by a lovely ball from Juliao but his shot is at Ramsdale when he should have scored and Rotherham win a corner. Gamal hits in and it's headed out, Real counter but Vivian mops up. Some good chances in that first half! Real Madrid kick off the second half. 51st minute: It's 2 - 0! Livramento crosses but Fresneda heads out, Becerra back in and Hojlund leaps like a fish and heads past Ramsdale! 71st minute: Good dribbling from Fresneda, he plays it into the feet of Bellingham who plays through Osimhen but he hits wide. 73rd minute: Gamal hits in a freekick, Hojlund is free to head past Ramsdale, that was so poor from Real but.. it's 3 -0! 80th minute: 4 subs are being made for fresh legs. Phillips, Hubana, Miley and Boxall replace Livramento, Juliao, Foden and Pitchford. 90th minute: Gamal is being replaced by Tremble. 3 minutes to hold on! 90+2: Hold on? Or Kossounou plays it to Boxall just inside the box, he plays a crossed into the six yard box to find an unmarked Hojlund to head in for his hat-trick! It goes to VAR but he's onside! 4 - 0!!! Hojlund has been superb on his return! THE HOJLUND FINAl. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS. He may have not had the best final and he may have missed out on another England call up but.

We're off to the Puskas Arena They had the possession and did absolutely nothing with it, we had the shots, the chances and the quality to beat last years winner. We face either Bayern or Real in the final, personally I'd rather face Bayern but we'll see who we get and try our best. We can win it but those are both quality teams.

April Brilliant month in the end. West Ham are a really good team on this save. It's West Ham who take the lead, Hartel finishing a good move after a pass across goal by Patterson. It's 2 - 0 to West Ham after a harmless ball is crossed in by Patterson and Bitshiabu somehow under absolutely no pressure mishits it into his own net after 21 minutes. Bitshiabu pulls one back after heading in Fodens corner after 50 minutes. Some good passing from the Millers and Becerra plays in substitue Hojlund to equalise after 65 minutes. It's a late winner.. to West Ham, a corner is swung in, we head out but Colombo collects, passes to Barco on the edge of the box who hits it through a crowd of players. We were terrible! I've had to rotate with the second leg against West Ham coming up and Bournemouth have the worst defense in the league, I'm sure with the team I've put out, especially since we're at home, that we can win. It's 1 - 0 to the Millers after 32 minutes, Miley headed in Kimble's cross. Gyokeres should have seen the game out in the 88th minute but that was a shocking miss. In the end, an easy 1 - 0 win will do me. We took the lead against Norwich after a quick counter, Juliao played a chipped ball into Hojlund who chested it down, shot and it's hit the keepers trailing leg and gone in after 24 minutes. We hit the woodwork 3 times in the first half! Hoping that doesn't cost us. It might! Norwich equalised after 65 minute, Gamal with a poor first touch, it's stolen and Longstaff plays through Soonsup-Bell who hits in. Bitshiabu puts us back in the lead after 67 minutes, heading in Foden's corner. Brilliant one touch passing from Rotherham, Kimble plays through Juliao who plays in Gyokeres who makes it 3 - 1 after 87 minutes. And with that victory, that's 5 times in a row Premier League Champions! It took 'til the 70th minute to score against Leicester but a good passing move with Miley playing it to Hojlund who finished it off, it's deserved. We doubled our lead in the 83rd minute with Hubana volleying in a brilliant ball from Gamal. We're clear winners here. 18 points clear with 3 to go. Haaland has been a different class, he's so good and Hojlund is out for 3 weeks so he can't even attempt to catch up, not like I thought he could . Champions League It was so tight, Caron is such a good player, West Ham have built a brilliant team. Glad we managed to get through. We drew PSG and the day the beofre the game Hojlund picked up an injury, still. Flores missed a huge chance but Gyokeres came off the bench to give us a close away win. International Debut A youth wingback that's not even played a handful of games yet has already got his Colombia debut We need a new stadium They want new players that can bring in revenue, I can do that, I can fit everything into the budget, thankfully our success brings in prize money but we sell out our 20k stadium and from our waiting list if we built an 80k stadium we'd sell that out with just home fans! One more year and I can ask for a new stadium! Next Month Big game against PSG we should win and what should be easy Prem games. Question is, can we win the Champions League?

Premiership Winners 2030/2031 We're now the best team in Yorkshire. 5 times in a row . Keep them coming. I really want the Premiership, Carabao, FA Cup and Champions League all in 1 season but we're still a way away from that it seems.

March Brilliant month. I've heavily rotated against Sheffield United, Tapia is making his Rotherham United debut at LWB. Van den Berg gave us the lead after 11 minutes, heading in Miley's corner. Hojlund doubles after 36 minutes after a quick break and a lovely ball from Gray. That's a lovely goal from Lindstrom to pull one back for Sheff Utd after 39 minutes, he's hit in a corner, we've headed out, he's picked up the ball, dribbled in, skinned Livramento and belted it past Kovar who had no chance. Now we lose Livramento to injury and youngster Kimble is on. Some magic from Foden who's on as a sub to put us 3 - 1 up, he intercepts, turns, hit's a quality long ball to Flores who takes it down brilliantly and hit's past Luiz Junior after 86 minutes. That was a good win considering the changes I had to make. More rotation against Chelsea, I have some players back but the Barcelona game is more important. Some good passing from the Millers, Vivian is out wide and crosses in, Trubin comes out and is no mans land as Miley heads the ball past him, 1 - 0 to the Millers! Good attacking from Chelsea, Vellidis plays it across goal and Ferguson hits in to make it 1 - 1 after 30 minutes. Good passing from the Millers this time, Boxall finds Brown out wide, he passes first time to Flores who hits in low to make it 2 - 1 after 48 minutes. Foden who came on as a sub is injured, that's a big loss against Barcelona. Chelsea looked to have equalised in the 92nd minute but there had to be multiple offside players there! We held on for a good away win. Kovar has food poisoning and will miss the Villa game, let's see if Robledo can step up. Bitshiabu gave us the lead after 21 minutes, heading in Mileys corner. It's 2 after 38, Miley hits a low ball into the box following a throw in that Pitchford hits in. Villa haven't managed a shot in the first half, we've in total control. The creator is now the scorer, as Miley hits in Pitchfords through ball to make it 3 - 0. Pitchford makes it 4 after a good run and low cross from van den Berg finds Pitchford who slots in after 62 minutes. Bitshiabu heads in Miley's corner to make it 5 - 0 after 63 minutes. Villa pulled one back in the 86th minute, a through ball was stopped by van den Berg but a bad first touch like Fermin hit past Roledo. Miley made it 6 - 1 in the 90th minute after a great through ball from Archie Brown. Robeldo starts again against Newcastle, Livramento is back but Pitchford is out, hopefully we can get a home win. A good attacking move and some brilliance from Livramento to set up Juliao puts us 1 - 0 up in the 40th minute. Juliao gets a brace in the 42nd minute, Hojlund crosses, Grabara saves and spills it out to Juliao to hit into an open net. Newcastle keep attacking but we're clearing, it's a shot from Newcastle, it whacks Livramento and goes in for an OG, 2 - 1 after 69 minutes. It ends 2 - 1 in a tight game where Juliao was the difference. Think it's our league to lose With the Champions League qualification we've got our budget already, I want to sell before I buy though. Champions League I knew if we held them away we could win at home. Which compared to our game with Real Madrid last year, we did. West Ham in the Champions League is a different game but they're good, they'll give us a proper challenge. Youth intake Not a good year. It's made me replace some of my backroom staff . Spong doesn't have the physical stats and he's moody. Blott might be able to do play at a lower prem club, he has poor physicals which I'm not sure he can get up enough to play here. Lawal is probbaly the best of the lot. Pacey, tricky and can finish. If I played with an AF, he could have potential. Top 50 Wonderkids MacDonald is a proper Miller so I love this one, he's born in Wakey, came through the academy, he's a Rotherham fan, he's a Miller. International Debut So my striker who's out at Hull who's scored 5 in 10 in the Championship but scored 0 goals in 12 in his first loan for Sheff Utd in the Prem was called up. But Pitchford who has the 2nd average rating in the prem and 2nd goals, the best English striker can't get in oh and he's a WORLD CUP WINNER. April Fancy watching Rotherham United vs West Ham United?

February Two great wins, a win that took too long to get and a heavy defeat. Still a good month. That's a crackin' goal by Juliao to give us the lead against Arsenal. Some good passing from the Millers, Juliao plays it to Vivian, Vivian then plays a brilliant ball over the top to Juliao who smashes it past on the charging Tobiasz after 30 minutes, not the best 'keeping. Tobiasz did make a worldy save to deny Gyokeres just before the break. Foden put us 2 up after 49 minutes, good passing again from the Millers, Becerra cuts in, shoots and Tobiasz saves it straight to Foden to hit in. Hubana came on to replace the injured Gyokeres and put us 3 up after heading in a cross from Juliao after 58 minutes, that's his first Millers league goal! Oh dear! Hubana missed an absolute sitter to put us 4 ahead! I can't believe he headed it over, a little tap and he'd of scored! Arsenal managed their first shot on target after 87 minutes! And in the 88th scored with their second! Corner in, Hubana heads out, Joao Neves picks it up, skins Hubana and hits in low post Kovar. We were brilliant for most of that. Away at Arsenal with an xG of 3.26 vs 1.08. It took unil the 86th minute to finally see a goal in the game against Everton and thankfully it was a Rotherham goal. We'd had all the chances, Everton had possession but hadn't even managed a shot on target. Miley hit in a corner and it was hit out, Phillips hit it back to Miley, he hit it into the six yard box where Hubana was waiting to pounce. That's 2 in 2 for Hubana who's doing well filling in for injuries. I'm glad we won that, our xG was 2.84, Everton had an xG of 0.06. It took 34 seconds for Boxall to give us the lead against Manchester United. A poor kick out from Ugurcan, Boxall intercepted, we played some good passing and Gamal a good pass to Boxall who was running into space, he took a good first touch and then hit in. It's 2 in the space of 5 minutes, Boxall with a quality ball through to Foden who hit in first time. It's 3 - 0 after 21 minutes, a lovely ball through by Becerra found Hojlund who hit in first time. It's 4 in the 39th minute, Boxall hits in acorner, Kossounou heads it, Ugurcan spills it and Kossounou hits it in. We're 4 - 0 up at half time and Man Utd haven't had a shot on target. Manchester United pulled one back in the 54th minute with Viera heading in Mounts corner. We were brilliant, especially in that first half, Boxall only started because Juliao wasn't fit enough. Him and Foden ran the show. First against second and we're without Foden and of course our arch nemesis Echeverri starts for Liverpool. Liverpool took the lead after 4 minutes, some good passing and Kossounou intercepts the through ball but Joao Pedro takes it off him and hits in. Liverpool should be two up after a poor poor pass from Becerra, they're all over us. We win a penalty though after a low ball in, Hojlund is about to strike and is taken down! Hojlund steps up and hits past Kobel to equalise! It's 2... to Rotherham! Juliao doesn't hit the best long pass but Antonio Silva messes up his header and basically flicks it on to Pitchford, Kober comes out to close him down but he hits past and it's off the bar and in after 31 minutes! WHAT IS THIS. It's 2 - 2, Kovar passes out from a goal kick to Vivian but it's so poor from both, guess who? It's Echeverri who steals it and hits it past Kovar after 41 minutes. Huge mistake from Kovar. A poor pass from Gamal, Liverpool counter, Yemery is in and it's 3 - 2 to Liverpool. My team are not doing the best with their passing today. It's 4 - 2 to Liverpool, corner comes in, we had out, Echeverri collects and Pitchford doesn't close down, Gravenberch plays it to Joao Pedro who hits a low shot past Kovar. Make my subs and then Hojlund is injured so we're down to 10 men! We actually played well in spells finished but some bad passing and defending and that's a heavy defeat. Liverpool can be 6 points behind us but it's our league to lose here. Carabao Cup Above post . Champions League Probably the hardest draw, we've never played them before, they have some real quality players. If we can beat Barcelona, we can win the Champions League if I how I feel. Next Month Some tough games, I'm just glad our last three games are all at home.

Carabao Cup Final 2031/3032 We're the current holders, winning 2 out of 4 finals i've been in. We're without Hojlund and Brown and that could be the difference. Hoping we get revenge since Liverpool just beat us 4 - 2 in the league. It seems since the league game Szoboszlai has also picked up an injury, that might help us. The line ups: Rotherham kick off the first half. 5th minute: Good passing from the Millers and Gamal unleashes a 30 yard strike that Altay has to get across to deny. We win a corner, Foden takes and it's headed out, Juliao to Gamal but he gets it all wrong and it's way way way over. 42nd minute: A poor header from Vivian and Liverpool counter, Echeverri crosses in, it's nearly an own goal by Joao Pedro makes it his and it's 1 - 0 Liverpool. 43rd minute: Gravenberch hits a long shot and it's a corner. Mendes takes and we head out. They hit it back in and Foden wins it, we counter, Becerra plays it down the left, hits in a long cross and Mendes heads a poor ball out, Juliao collects, and plays a little chip across goal that Gyokeres volleys in. 1 - 1! 45+1: Becerra steals, dribbles all the way into the box and it's a good save to deny! Gamal heads back in but Liverpool clear. It's half time. Liverpool kick off the second half. Brown is already injured so I don't have a natural replacement for Becerra who is now injured. Theate is coming on to replace and moving Bitshiabu who isn't having his best game out at LWB. At the same time, Flores is replacing Pitchford. 65th minute: Foden strikes a freekick but it's over. Bitshiabu is now injured so van den Berg is going to have to come on to play RWB and Livramento fill in at LWB! 10 minutes left, Hubana and Miley are replacing Foden and Gyokeres. We've been the better side but it's ET! Liverpool are down to 10 through injury! 98th minute: A freekick from Hubana is just over. 102nd minute: Gray is replacing Juliao. 103rd minute: Altay makes a great save to deny Hubana's freekick. 105th minute: Flores hits in the corner, it's headed out, Gray hits and it's another corner. Flores hits in again and Hubana heads over. 15 minutes to go. Come on Millers! 114th minute: Miley scores but he's offside! Should have made a better run there! We've been by far the better side but it's pens. It's Liverpool first. Mac Allister steps up... Kovar saves! Flores... top corner! Nunez... SAVED! Hubana... top corner again! Militao... SAVED!!!! Miley... it's in! WE WIN THE CARABAO CUP. KOVAR IS A CUP HERO WHO SAVED OUR BACON!!!

January Great month in reality, it's a shame about the FA cup loss, an even bigger shame was ending our not conceding streak in the Premiership and the fashion it happened! A big game at the top of the table, away at City who have in form Haaland, he started this game recovering from a damaged foot so I'm shocked he's in the starting eleven. We took the lead after 19 minutes. Gamal won the ball and we attacked quick, Hojlund dribbles past Debast who's lack of bravery, he doesn't commit like he should and Holjund slots past Meslier. It's an equaliser in the 93rd minute for City... City haven't had a chance all game and still haven't. Ferdi crosses the ball, Musiala is running in and Kossounou hits it into his own net, that's awful. We then lose Hojlund to injury in the 95th minute, that was a bad injury time. We took an early lead against underperforming Spurs. Becerra crossed, Kotarski came out for it and Pitchford headed past him into the open net, bad keeping. Foden is fouled and we win a penalty, he steps up and cooly sends the 'keeper the wrong way after 43 minutes. We made it 3 after 63 minutes, Livramento with a bursting run down the right, crossed across goal and Hojlund hit in. We were amazing, great win, Spurs didn't have a sniff! In the first half against Leeds we had 70% possession and only managed 1 shot on target, better than Leeds' 0. Within the first minute of the second half we have a penalty as Strujik who is already booked pushed Hojlund. Foden tucks it away after 47 minutes to give us the lead. It's 2 after 49, Hojlund heals in Livramento's cross. Easy win, Leeds had 1 shot, 0 on target at home. We're flying at the top! Carabao Cup 14 - 1 on aggregate . And we could score more in the final . Boro have the record goals conceded now aswell . A new Carabao Cup record. And our biggest win. Onto the final and we still don't know who we're playing. It's Manchester United or Liverpool. FA Cup Another record. And it's a shame it ended against City. Pitchford really should have equalised, he missed an incredible chance but it was a tight game and City got the goal. Some key players in Pitchford, Becerra and Juliao were poor. We missed Hojlund who picked up an injury against Leverkusen. Champions League Two good wins and very much needed wins to avoid playoffs. Deadline Day I didn't really want to sell Trilli but I couldn't turn down that offer. Conteh has been on loan at Sheff Utd and it had been a disaster, he needed a league below so to Hull he goes. If I knew Gem Prout was on the move, I might have been in myself! I'll pick him up in the future to replace Foden. I brought in two youth players, I feel we have enough cover to replace Trilli. Kimble can play there, van den Berg can fill in, Gamal can play at RWB and Phillips fill in a DM, we'll be fine. Besic is another future GK, 6'4 is lovely, not sure about his tendency to punch though. He was cheap and worth a risk. Quiroga is versatile and either footed, could be a good player in the future. I still think it's crazy how much Arsenal spend. Double of the wages we spend and can't win the league. Next Month Some difficult games against the top teams, hopefully we can get some points.

December We love these winter months and this could be the best one yet!!! 20 league goals in 6 games, 0 conceded. Away at Bournemouth. They do like an upset against us but we should be winning this. What a goal, 2 minutes in and Foden played a one two with Kossounou, dribbled through the middle and curled it into the bottom corner. It's 2 after 13 minutes, Becerra crossed, Juliao went for it(the 5'5 MC) Dahlberg dropped it and Pitchford hit into the empty net. It's 3 after 22 minutes! Juliao corssed, Aarons missed his header, Becerra shot, Aarons didn't block that either and it's in the bottom corner. Oh what a goal, we're in such incredible form at the moment. Gamal has played a one-two with Hojlund and then curled into the bottom corner from 20 yards after 40 minutes. Gyokeres came off the bench and scored a brilliant solo goal after 91 minutes to make it 5. We were brilliant from start to finish, what a game. When it comes to Bournemouth, without Pitchford they'll be going down this year. This is their results from December... Anyway, back to The Millers. With the PSG game so close which I need points, I've rotated heavily for the Norwich game, they're 18 and we're at home, we should win. We took the lead after 18 minutes, Brown headed in Flores' corner. It was 2 after 67 minutes, some good passing through the middle, Miley to Hojlund and he finished off the move. Hojmund made it 3 after 83 minutes, heading in a cross from Trilli. Brilliant win, especially with a rotated squad. Hojlund only came on as Flores picked up a knock. We could of had so many more, we hit the woodwork 3 times! Another game, another early goal. Pitchford won the ball back after a corner, we played it up well, Foden hit it into the box low and Miley finished. A bad pass from Gamal, or the CB who wasn't alert but Kovar is playing well here. Just before the break though we make it 2 though it feels Leicester should of had a goal. Good play down the left, Becerra plays it to Foden who plays it across to Hojlund to hit in. That was a close game, even though we had 19 shots, 6 on target compared to 6, 4 on target from Leicester. They had some good chances, Kovar finished on 8.1 for a reason! We took the lead against Southampton after 22 minutes. Juliao played a low ball to Pitchford who hit in. Foden makes it 2 after 57 minutes after he closes down Devine in the box, steals and shoots past Kelleher. An easy victory in the end, Southampton didn't manage a shot on target. Another game, another early lead for the Millers! Good attacking pressure from us, Becerra crossed from the left and Pitchford headed in after 10 minutes. It's 2 0 after 64 minutes, Foden swings in the corner, Bitshiabu heads it and Soriano saves straight back into a thumping header from Bitshiabu. It's 3 after 72 minutes, sub van den Berg played it to another sub in Boxall. He plays it across to Pitchford who has acres of space to hit in. We went down to 10 in 92nd minute through injury, it's Bitshiabu and I hope it isn't serious. It was a very close first half but we controlled the second. It could have been even more comfortable as we hit the woodwork twice. I've had to rotate heavily against Porsmouth as we faced Man City on New Years Day but this is a match we should be winning, Pompey do not have a good team in the slightest. We took the lead after 20 minutes, Trilli crossed in and Flores headed past Walton who was in no mans land, that's some bad goalkeeping. Gyokeres make it 2 after 25 minutes, Miley plays it to Flores who plays it to Gyokeres, a brilliant first touch and Gyokeres is through and fires in with a powerful effort. Portsmouth haven't managed a shot in the the first half, there's just a huge quality difference. Brown makes it 3 after 48 minutes, heading in Flores' corner. Miley makes it 4 after some good football, Gyokeres recovers the ball following a corner, passing to van den Berg, he squares to Miley in the box who hits in. Flores makes it 5 after 72 minutes, Gyokeres intercepts Towler's pass, crosses first time and Flores heads in. It was just a massive difference in quality, Portsmouth managed 1 shot, 0 on target, we had 28, 16 on target. Flores was brilliant. We had some easy games in December whilst City didn't, we've made a nice gap at the top. Even after a month that good, we won no monthly awards! Champions League We kept PSG at bay, they didn't manage a shot on target. Our best chance and only chance really fell to Hojlund who really should have scored but a draw is still a great result. Carabao Cup The Boxall FA Cup game, two worldys, a freekick and a penalty. Probably the best performance of any player in any game i've played on FM24. And we should be able to make the final. FA Cup Draw We should be winning against Palace. Youth intake Not the best but the fullbacks and AM could be interesting. World Goalkeeper of the Year He's so good . Next Month So many games, Spurs aren't doing the best and we should be winning that, we should be winning most but away at City is a big game. We are without Bitshiabu for most of the month though and he's playing amazing so he will be missed, Theate is good enough to fill in thankfully. I think I'll be making moves in the market, my backup RWB Trilli is wanted and A.Madrid have bid for him, he's probably too good an offer to refuse and he wants to make the move as they want him for first team where he's only a squad player for me.

November Incredible month, just brilliant. Scored 17 and conceded 2 in 4 games . We took an early lead against Sheffield United. Pitchford played it to Foden who hit it first time to Juliao who smashed it in from outside the box, a brilliant hit! We made it 2 just before the break. Foden hit in a corner, it's cleared, Juliao intercepts, played it to Foden who hits across goal where Hojlund beats the keeper to slot in Sheff Utd pull one back afteer 49 minutes. Ex-Miller Watson hits a long ball and Fontan volleys in, that was a good goal. We made it 3 after 55 though. Foden hits in the corner, Kossounou heads out to Juliao, he plays to Pitchford who hits into the bottom corner. Pitchford made it 4 after 90 minutes. Gray won the ball, played it to Juliao, Hojlund then played a quality through ball to Pitchford who hit in. If he didn't miss a sitter earlier Pitchford would of had a hat-trick! Great win, much better football. We took the lead against Chelsea after some pinball in the box! Foden hit in a freekick, Kossounou headed back across goal, Trubin saved, it's hit by Bitshiabu but blocked, Caicedo doesn't clear, Hojlund steals and puts it in after 16 minutes. HUGE mistake gives us another goal 2 minutes later! Trubin passes out to Colwill, Hojlund pressed and steals it, he shoots and Trubin can't get to it. It's him again, Bitshiabu heads in Fodens corner to make it 3 after 28 minutes! Kossounou makes it 4 after 36! Gamal hits in a freekick and Kossounou heads in! What a superb first half!!! Bitshiabu makes it 5 and his brace! Heading in Gamal's corner after 51 minutes! A huge mistake at our end and Chelsea pull one back in the 81st minute! Caicedo crosses, Kovar "coughed up the ball" and Ferguson hits in! The game is saying Becerra made a mistake yet Kovar fumbled the ball! Huge win, brilliant infront of goal, shame we conceded. Brilliant start against Villa! Foden hits a lovely ball from the left to Gamal, he plays to Juliao, Juliao plays it back and Gamal hits it in after 8 minutes. Huge luck but we're 2 up after 15! Good passing, Gamal shoots, it deflects straight to Becerra who hits into the corner. It's 3 after 16 minutes! Great passing, lovely ball from Gamal through to Hojlund who takes one touch to set himself up and another to smash it in. 45+3 and we win a penalty! Foden steps up and it crashes against the bar! Villa haven't had a single shot at home in the first half!!! Nothing to note in the second half but we were brilliant. That may have been Gamal's best game in a Rotherham shirt! We're the 3rd best team in the form table vs West Ham who are 2nd in the form table. It's gonna be a close game! We took the lead after 46 seconds through a fluke. Foden hit a low freekick to Becerra, he was blocked, Hojlund picks up and then mishits hit, Caron then mishits it, Chalobah doesn't collect and Kossounou has an open net to hit it in! It's 2 after 13 minutes, Vivian dribbles down the right, crosses a low ball which Henderson palms straight to Juliao to hit in. It's 3 after 28 minutes, Gamal hits in a corner, it's headed out, Foden collects, waits until Gamal is onside, plays it to him, Gamal crosses and Hojlund heads in. It's 4 after 34 minutes, Bitshiabu dribbles down the left, hit's a cross, it takes a little deflection, Foden runs in and hits past Henderson. It's 5 after 38 minutes, good passing down the right, Livramento plays a through ball to Juliao hits it across the goal mouth, Chalobah blocks Hojlund but it comes off Hojlund for Pitchford to hit into the net. What a first half! Shame the second half was quiet. City are still straight behind us. Difference is we have an 8 game December, they have a 9 game. Champions League The Monaco game was so close, I had to bring on my key players who I was resting. A mistake at the back from Monaco was what gave us the chance for Foden to hit in 30 yards into an open net. Top 50 Players We have #10. Buying the 10th best player in the World for Rotherham seems absolutely crazy . Next Month We do love a December and January run and that's quite an easy league run. The cup games are very difficult though!
