The only way is S6 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Disagree with OP. We've replaced Wallace with a clone of him. Boyd can't beat a man for pace. Can't beat a man with skill. Always chooses to stop, turn & pass backwards. Will cross the ball now & again from yards away from the byline. How he's keeping that younger, faster, more skillful loanee out is beyond me.

Westfield Owl Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 With Boyd and Matias also out of contract in the summer, our right wing will be in need of a couple of replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobbinTheDonkey Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Wallace had a good latter half of the season the last time we reached the playoffs. Before the turn of the year that season he was poor. Last season he was like that for most of the season. Our problem was we did not replace Wallace soon enough along with quite a few others.

None of Lees, Hutch, Bannan or Forestieri look as good as they did. Since the playoff final you can only really make a case for Hector and Reach as players who have actually added anything to that team. The transfer dealings of this club since that day have been a complete disaster. Poor decision after poor decision. What a huge summer coming up. Actually Reach has not delivered as expected because most people thought we were getting a wide attacking player down the left, nipping forward and crossing. Hector seems v inconsistent.

No. That’s not possible due to their amount of appearances, time at the club & goals. But their style & inabilities are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Wierdly, watching the old 2-3 Rotherham highlights its clear how much we miss Lee and a player like McGugan. Players with legs, forward thinking, urgency - McGugan went completely off the rails and Lee has suffered horrendous injuries but we've just never replaced them to give us a strong midfield.

Not got anyone who can whip a decent cross in to the box. I can't wait for George Boyd to leave there's more than not replacing Wallace being the problem with this out of balance heap of shyte.

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Totally agree with Wallace bit of OP - he was probably the player Udders feared most and he lasted 5 minutes in the play off semi second leg - the turning point? By the end of last season - OK - maybe he wasn’t all he’d been, but some folk on here were dreadfully insensitive about his injury and ungrateful for his contribution. I wish them curried piles. I had mi doubts about the acquisitions of Fletcher Jones Abdi and Boyd but they were bought because they were proven performers who “knew what it took” rather than promising performers who wanted to prove they had what it takes. New manager - new challenge. He’s bound to pick Boyd at the moment cos he knows what he can do but he will hardly sanction another contract unless there’s a miraculous turn around in form. Thanks Ross, sorry it hasn’t quite worked out George. UTO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracksuit Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Wallace would always front up & take some responsibility in the games he played for us. Too many of the recent acquisitions seem content to shirk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 How could you replace a player like Wallace,the guy was a class act,not just a good footballer he was a total pro and a character to boot,shame we didnt get him a few years earlier,but he still gave us some quality memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
