Why does Warne always have trouble motivating the players for a full season? This is exactly the same as last season where he comes out and says the fight isn't there etc etc. Isn't that his job?

I was against it when it was announced, he stuck with us through all those hard times kept us fighting then got dumped.

We had a good manager that played better technical football that would have played teams of the park with this squad, Clowes sacked him.

No central midfielder will be highly rated in a Warne side, they are literally bypassed and told to punt the ball out wide as soon as they get it if it happens to fall to them.

Bet they can't wait to get out there after seeing the service Collins gets...

Scared of playing football in L1 against a struggling side, this is a serious low in my time following the club. No dynamics and predictable play. We'd get battered if we went up.

I genuinely can't stand this football, I do not enjoy watching this team at all. When we are winning you kind of stomach it but as soon as the form drops off it's full on suicide watch stuff. How can you be that bad as a team? Do they even train together?

Final ball is genuinely shocking, same as weekend. We are absolutely toothless and it's all down to supply. Feels like last season where we just dropped off, hopefully Warne gets it sorted cause we look so poor going forward again.

Bradley had a rocky start but when he's been on the pitch lately he's been alright, some players just need more time to settle. He was at Luton for a long time.

Prime Keogh was a good CB though, got us to playoff final being a donkey and had 6 clean sheets in a row making mistakes everywhere apparently. Amazing. Funny how for instance Buxton's error in the playoff final that lead to the ball getting to the box when it never should have is not spoken about. I don't remember Keogh ever abdicating responsibility for on the field mistakes but happy to change my mind if you provide a clip? Actually my bad, it was 7 consecutive clean sheets.

Charlton prob just wanted to wait on announcement, if other teams find out you just had a windfall it can change their negotiating position. They seem to be spending a few quid this window.

Is Kirschner still in prison?

Final ball really poor today, back to the old aimless crosses in to the box again.

Imagine if Mel had claimed money as a creditor, we definitely wouldn't exist now.

Thing is Young is one of those we never buy though isn't he? We can all see he's got potential, someone else will sign him for cheap then punt him on to a Champ club for 3-5m in a couple of years.

I have my reservations about Warne's style and long term success but he's doing well at the moment, I am not sure if he always struggled to keep Rotherham up more because of the playing style or severely limiting budget. Maybe it was a combination of both. I think you might be right in the making of the club again but not sure Clowes will be the man to invest in it, hasn't really got the funds. Interesting times ahead for sure, big second half of the season for us!

EFl always hated Mel after he exposed how crap their TV deal is, they were determined to relegate us even after we won the independent tribunal. We got cheated out of the Prem by multiple FFP cheats but we didn't threaten anyone with court. But that's all in the past now thankfully mostly, once we get out of the business plan we can go back to being a normal club again.

Pretty solid source to be fair.

He had a good game against us last season at Charlton if I recall correctly, all I can remember is that he is fast. Just checked, he scored.

It would very much follow the trend of Warne signings so far, the restraints maybe getting slightly looser now. We can hope.

It's worth remembering our owner isn't really that cash rich, just a succesful local business owner that wanted to save his club. I don't think he really wants to spend his personal wealth on a load of overpaid footballers even when the EFL controls are relinquished.

Popular player L1 clubs are looking to sign? Add Derby County to the list to drive more engagement and clicks. No chance we spend more than probably 350k on a single player IMO.

Sheff Wed fans told us Mendez-Laing was crap.

Think Bolton will win the league personally, really dont fancy the playoffs . Autos are there for us really, our run of games now is pretty favourable as well. Need to get these couple of players in now to give us some edge and that fresh push we didn't get last season.
