Just play the minute of injury time and let the fan be helped at half time

I don't understand why the last year or two games need to be stopped in these circumstances anyway, unless an ambulance needed access to the pitch. 

When there's a medical emergency at the side of the road they don't close down all the shops and stop all the traffic.

Not able to watch today. Sounds like we battered them and played some good stuff. Well done lads and now an early second goal after half time would give us the breathing space to go on and win comfortably.

Their keeper has kept them in it with 4 excellent saves. We'd better not piss this away.

12 efforts on goal, 5 on target, 1.5 million passes...

A number of nearly efforts too.

80.2% posesson

Lovely early goal, and excellent work from Stu. We were patient, we kept good structure across the pitch in and out of possessioon. Lots of work from Smallbone, The Armstrongs and others. Sulemana offers a good outlet.

There were a few occassions when a better, attracking pass was available. But 1) there's always going to be that and 2) there were a lot fewer of them than before, indicating a team confident in Martin's instructions faced with a side happy to let them grow into that confidence.

They changed their shape, which gave them several minutes of being able to close down the gaps. But we were creating chances again before the break.

On the occassions when we gave it away, or when Rotherham got forward, we had plenty back and there was cover. Another plus after some previous shambles.

I'm not sure I'm ever going to fully like the pace of MartinBall.

It's never comfortable on a single goal lead, but we're as in comand as we can be without a second.

Great goal. Total domination. Loads of chances not put away. Baz unemployed. BUT this is not an auto-promotion level performance in front of goal unfortunately so far - let’s hope we can stretch them in the second half. Adams is showing how immobile he really is, otherwise he would have bagged three. Would like to see Edozie on for Sully who’s having a largely ineffective game so far. Happy we’re in front but another goal early doors is very much needed.
