It’s absurd that we don’t have any at all, and while there’s an opportunity to bring a good one in on loan, we also need a couple more of our own. Previously we’d maybe have Fletcher as first choice, with Nuhiu as back up, with young Hirst in the development squad, and Borukov understudying him. Now we have nobody, if that isn’t mismanagement, I don’t know what is Agree with everything you said, its a sad indictment of the owner and the people he has allowed to run our club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83owl Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 1 hour ago, malek said: It is all true, there are better players out there and some would probably be available to us. But you are missing the point. All players you named were let go by their clubs. I'm talking about situation where we would potentially want to keep some of players that are in last years of their contract and if they have good season and catch attention of "more attractive clubs" we are powerless to do anything about it. We shouldn’t be letting players run into their final years. If they are any good then surely we will get bids for them and we let them go, if they have a good season then good that hopefully pushes us up the league. if they aren’t any good then they will leave on a free and we replace them. This ridiculous stockpiling of players and hero worshipping average championship players has to stop. So does 5 year contracts and huge salaries. We are losing nearly 100k every week just on Westwood, Rhodes and Lees, 3 players who no other club in the league would take off our hands on a free transfer if they had to match their wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been mentioned, there were mitigating factors, but we really need to complete the recruitment. A competent development squad can provide decent back up for the first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty poor. Bad enough if it'd been Man City or such but Rotherham? Mind you I remember a 14-0 loss to Alfreton one pre-season so I suppose it could have been worse.
