Rotherham United and Cardiff City might only have managed half a match on Saturday, it was abandoned on forty-seven minutes, but there are still stats to be had from that game.
Possession-wise the Millers had fifty-two per cent while City had fifty-four per cent success in the duels and it was even-steven. Of the six corners Rotherham won four.
Our passing accuracy came out at sixty-nine per cent while our visitors was just a little lower at sixty-four per cent while our passing accuracy in our opponents have was sixty-two per cent. Cardiff had a twenty per cent accuracy in crossing, the Millers just six.
Attack wise both sides had five shots at goal, the Millers having just one from inside the box and one on target while City had two shots on target.
Tackle success went to Cardiff at sixty-seven per cent, Rotherham’s being fifty-five per cent and of the twelve fouls in the game the Millers gave away eight.
No matter what is coming from the Welsh fans that game could not have gone on, I don’t know what took the referee so long to bounce the ball on the pitch. Yes, having travelled up and down the country watching Rotherham I can sympathise that it’s a fair way to come for half a game of football but would they have been so keen for it to carry on if they’d been losing? I think not.
Looking at the pitch at the New York Stadium, it’s a bit worrying that the water didn’t drain, although, it did come down so very quickly. And, is it fair to say that it got worse when the subs came on?!
