    The retained list mentioned contracts were being negotiated. I expect both to sign new deals.

    The Archie Brown and Festy ‘out of contract’ bits are a worry. Just saw a post on Facebook suggesting Archie’s gone - anyone know any more ?

    I had no idea that is what caused him to be out for so long. Very pleased he was back playing well towards the end of the season. All the best, Tyree.

    With forums and social media, there is a demand for daily information, that has spawned these ITK wannabes creating things to feed that desire.
    The players, staff, all need a couple of weeks off to down tools and be with their families. Chances are very little is actually happening behind the scenes right now.
    With some players on international duty as well, I suspect it could be quiet for most of the month.
    The retained list will probably be out around July 1st. Would expect transfer activity to start shortly after.
    With regards to the EFL, don’t expect any outcome from that any time soon, look how long it’s taken already. 
    Enjoy the sun, beers and Euro’s.

    For me there's no chance of this. Dell knows owning a Championship club is a mug's fame. That's why they're prepared to lend money to them at fantastically high interest rates and make a killing. 
    It would be madness to throw away all their easy profits to go and sit on the other side of the fence and start losing money instead.

    Think after what our players went through in the last couple of months - a good period of rest and a proper pre-season could be a good thing. Hopefully this can motivate him to go and earn a place back in the Welsh squad.

    He certainly has the right attitude to make it in the EFL. It's been clear for a while that he wouldn't break into the first team, so he's made the right choice in moving on. Hopefully he finds a club where he will get regular football, even if he does need to drop into non-league for a season or two.

    Well trying what hasn't worked all season didn't work again in the first half. However the goal wasn't Fozzy's fault for not heading the ball clear - he was given a massive whack in the back as he jumped for the ball, but no free kick given. Qu'elle surprise! But it wasn't the ref's fault that Wednesday scored - all the way through the first we has watched them be first to the loose ball and first to the second ball, so it was no surprise that we watched them bundle the ball over the line. In addition, Wednesday pressed and harried us all the time, while we gave them the freedom of the pitch. We have proved that high pressing works, but as ever we simply couldn't be bothered.
    What happened at half time I don't know, but we were much more threatening in the second half, although we had threatened the gaol far more than the Wendies in the first half. And then the magic few moments to put us in front - great work from Tom, Waggy and Roberts, who couldn't miss his chance, despite wearing a Derby forward's shirt!
    At which point we promptly started sitting back and trying to defend our huge one goal lead. It doesn't work. And it didn't work. 2 - 2, alth9ough how a player who is the only one on the goal line when the ball comes through him isn't offside I'll never know. Another crap refereeing decision which could have meant relegation, but as ever it was our own fault that the chance was even there, because we sat back instead of pushing for another goal, which at  the time, we needed to make sure. 
    Joswiack coming on was a real benefit because he has a "Lets get at them2 mentality, and holds the ball really well. IN reality it showed what we should have done from the start - get on the front foot and cause them trouble. You could say that he drew the foul for the penalty, but all he was doing was going for goal, with the foul coming as a result of pushing forwards. Sadly, I cold have scored Robert's second chance, and I'm 64 years old and have no boots! Thankfully it didn't matter, and the Rotherham  chairman can now spend the entire close season shouting insults and threats to the match officials, and listen to the echoes all by himself.
    Waggy really earned the shirt today - did you hear the clatter as he hit the goal post in the first half - I was sure he was going to hospital  for that. Well done him! He was worth the shirt today, but that is just one match, with him blagging the shirt on a freebie for the rest of the season. And thankfully the players did leave everything on the pitch today. Well done. What about all the other matches, where you carted it all back of to the changing rooms?
    What today showed is that we do have sufficient ability to be much higher up the league table than we have been, and that largely our problems have come from admittedly from what the players do or don't do on the pitch, but more than that it has been cause by poor team selection, poor tactics, and poor substitutions.
    Here's to much, much better next season.

    Can we please stop lambasting Fozzy. Theres been enough poor play from the whole squad this season and he doesn't need singling out today. I'm sure he's fuming with himself. He's been a fantastic servant to this club, gone through multiple career threatening injuries and I'm glad he's with us still.

    Lawrence and Knight both allowed into stadia to watch a game tonight. No injuries. Given the amount of energy Knight has, presumably quite difficult for him to sit down for that long.

    Finished 1-1 thanks to a late Grewal-Pollard equaliser (his 2nd goal in 2 games).
    Wolves scored from the penalty spot just after the 2nd half started.
