Rotherham United’s unbeaten run came to an end last night when Morecambe got the only goal of the game in the Carabao Cup match at the New York Stadium.
Let’s have a quick look at those stats.
The Millers had sixty-three per cent of possession last night, came out better in the duels by ten per cent and won seventy-two per cent of those duels in the air.
Attack wise Rotherham had eleven corners to the League One sides two with Morecambe having six shots at goal of which one was on target to the hosts sixteen shots, sadly not one of those on target – you’d have thought at least one of those shots should have made the goalkeeper work for his money wouldn’t you.
Our passing accuracy in our opponents box came out as sixty-nine per cent, our visitors getting fifty-six per cent while Morecambe’s success in tackling was better than the Millers at eighty-six per cent.
Just twelve fouls committed last night – seven by the Millers – and referee Peter Wright kept his cards in his pocket.
So that’s Rotherham out of the League Cup for another season and to lower league opposition, though we weren’t the only ones. Concentrate on the League I hear you say. Yep, that’s the first thing that comes to mind but I always think winning any game breeds confidence (and vice versa). But, we’ve got to put this behind us now and concentrate on the next game which is Birmingham City at home on Saturday.
