May Contain Nuts

At least Cocu gave us some hope for our future with excellent work bringing academy players through, rather than prioritising his own skin over the club's future. At least Rowett gave us, errrm I dunno (these are stretches!)... the spectacle of seeing the absolute best of Vydra, Huddlestone's homecoming and the signing of future Derby hero in Curtis Davies while trying to get promoted to the top league. I'm glad though that we're getting somewhere to being on course toward "The Rotherham Way" under Warne.

but also it's 22:40 and I don't remember us ever hearing nothing from either our sources, generic sources and other-team-specific sources this close to a deadline. Not even one speculative post from a b******* journo posted on the transfer forum. We haven't even heard anything more about Bird. I'm not even sure at this stage that Percy isn't being a piss taking forest t***. Strange days!

Tried to f****** eat it more like.

The problem is that if a player has his heart set on a certain move for one reason or another you've got a lot on to change their mind. Even knowing Reading were a mess he still chose to go and sign for them along with his fellow Cambridge freebie Knibbs, similarly May was always going to go to Charlton. What can you do in those circumstances? If anyone else came in for CBT they'd have had the same problem.

Hull don't need him, they've got Tyler Morton. (Although only on loan atm)

Two Hoots, surely?

You've clearly been sitting on this one for a while.

Added to that, he'll be fully aware that hes one of our very few saleable assets and understands that the money from his sale could help the club he's been at for so long achieve their goal of promotion.

Everyone has high hopes when they sign Jack Marriott, unfortunately it's never long before he Wrexham.

I'd be happy enough to spend a third season here if it guaranteed we didn't return for another 40+ years. I'd be gutted if we wasted money on a short term fix that failed, ate into our budget for next season and lead us to having more than 3 seasons at this level!

Brannagan would cost... ...most of our other players a chance to have a shot at goal themselves. Knibbs though, bloody go and get him. Even if he doesn't want to come here. Kidnap him if needs must. Demand a ransom equivalent to the fee they want for him so it balances out and ends up a free transfer.

...and if the short terminism doesn't help us achieve our goals, what then?

I'm thinking guesswork may be the order of the day tbh...

Surely that still includes Sibley? Not that he's held in the same regard.

Keep Bird + no incoming striker = Fans convincing themselves that we've done alright actually because it could have been worse.

Probably understands that League One is the very top of his capabilities.

Who is Mike McGrath and why have I taken an immediate and impassioned dislike toward him?

True but that's not going to stop Chansiri being a. bitter and mardy, well, chancer with a grudge though is it?

I had a quick look at that earlier hoping for better results, although you've got to remember that a shot isn't necessarily a chance and I can't really remember him missing loads of good chances https://fbref.com/en/comps/15/shooting/League-One-Stats (no. 54)

I do have to wonder whether this may be influencing Sheff Weds mindset, at least a little bit https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/12299179/derby-3-3-sheffield-wednesday-wayne-rooneys-side-avoid-relegation-after-incredible-final-day

He's so good he's already got a tactic named in his honour, the Low Block.

What, ever? Someone go and warm up that Administration thread 😢

Worse still, some would welcome him back! 🤯 That said, there's not really anything for him to ruin this time!

He does talk of being good friends with NML so perhaps we can have a new chant incorporating aspects of his, 2 players 1 chant.

What he does in his private life is no concern of mine! I haven't listened to the interview, and my previous posts on the topic suggest I think he's a promising signing who may well provide something we're lacking. The above post was just a bit of fun.
