Wow.... look dreadful. Look brain dead, tired, lack of quality. Brereton so far looks absolute shocking. Sheff utd literally just sat in till we gave them the ball and hit on the counter. Both goals were dreadful defending, we weren’t tight enough to the guys crossing it and weren’t even marking the goalscorers. Couldn’t defend and couldn’t attack. All we did was pass to reed or dack and hope they do something while every other player stands and watches, no movement. Then when sheff utd did go forward and we got the ball we took so long we let sheff utd get back in and sit. It was either a boring sidewould pass as nobody moved or a hopeless diag where we never picked up the 2nds. Bit more intensity was needed all round tonight, slow and sloppy. We looked so easy to deal with tonight sheff utd didn’t have to do anything special.

I wouldnt be suprised if this was just a bit of a publicity stunt from us to get the fans believing we have a bit of money, and get us a bit excited. Like someone on the forum stated previously we dont have to spend big to find quality or show intent. Purchasing and scouting quality can be done with out having to throw money on players. Its being sensible and getting the right player to help us keep progressing. Also Im happier weve spent zero on rodwelll than 8 + million on a player we never heard of a week or 2 ago, with the debt we still have. I would go on the track record of the venkys and think that we have around 5/6 million tops to play with, if loans and freebees are what we do then its still absolutely nothing new for us as a club, as its the way weve dealt in the last few years anyway. This is also a league you dont have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to get out of, its buying and spending smart that gets you out of it. We do obviously need to strengthen but im not too fussed if we dont sign this player. I think we should all stop 'hoping' we wil lspend 8+ million as lets not forget we got a huge debt still, and we dont want to over spend just finish mid table and pile on more debt. TM knows what hes doing.

Agreed, I also think 5/6 mill tops. I wouldnt believe everything we read in the press. Some 'fake' news gets put in the public just to purposley ignite a fire alsewhere. I imagine a lot of whats beeing leaked is untrue. I would guess we have put a bid in, and I would guess we have never bid for the player for over 8 mill, or any other player.

either way dacks still on a contract... Whether he signs a new one or not. We only got him last season so I wouldnt be worried about it running down. The only reason they probably want to negotiate a new deal is so they can add in some new add on clauses and a minimum release fee.

I imagine (and for most clubs) that deals will be done towards the end of the tranfer window. Due to the world cup the big teams have had to take squad/young players on their tours and friendlies to have enough players to use in friendlies. I dont imagine many prem clubs will want to do many deals in terms of letting players go at this stage.

may sound silly... but I would have him in the squad, even championship level. Squad player or to bring off the bench.

happy that DG has re-sgined for another season. Would rather of let Conway go tho....Didnt look too great in league one. I think his age has caught up with him. DG would be a good squad player. Need some strikers in the door.

not for me. I dont think I have ever seen him play well. Im not Rayas biggest fan, but I would keep raya over Fielding.

I REALLY hope not. Hes dog Sh!!!!!!!te

agree, were struggling with the best team we can put out.

Nuttal - 6 goals in 3 games.... From the fans that have gone to watch our academy teams is he worth a shot? not a bad ratio. Obviously in a bit of form.

I will be making the 4.5 hour drive there and the 4.5 drive back for this one. Leagues apart or not (and I am fearing the worst), these are the fixtures that make us love the game. If theres any fixture thats the oppurtunity to get this season going its this one. I think we will lose to bradford, then lose bravely to burnley, but a perfromance against them that makes the supporters proud may give us a kick start we need. Or we could just lose heavily to bradford and burnley lol, but might as well be optimistic. Either way going to a blooming long journey for me.

as much as I was/am peed off with how huddersfield approached that game against brum, but in fairness they earnt the right to do that. They have themselves in a postion to do what the hell they like. Im not a fan of the rule even being in, its disrespectful to the players hes picked. The rule may as well say if you pick players we dont think are any good then we will fine your club. There professional footballers on contracts to there clubs, there a huddersfield town football player, there allowed to play if selected. Our season shouldnt be based on huddersfield v brum. If we go down its because we deserve to! This rule may as well fine rovers every week for players not being good enough to wear the shirt, because thats basically what this rule implies, players picked not being good enough to wear the shirt.

he plays for nothern ireland. Doesnt fancy club football.
