This is a desperation signing as we may have missed other targets and need another striker. 
He was available before August yet we sign him just as the season starts.
Oh and then ‘he bleeds black and white’ rubbish, well he doesn’t. He jumped ship as soon as he could when we got relegated. If he really wanted to stay he would of done what Curtis did and waited to resign.
We need a striker, he needs a club and is probably still fairly local.

I doubt Hourihane was a ‘body over off the line’ deal. It was an ‘OMG a player from a premier league club is remotely interested in coming to us and we are in League 1’ deal. It was too good to turn down.
We could afford it given our restrictions and we did. In an ideal world we would have smashed the league but he didn’t. He needed and still needs younger legs around him.

So if we haven’t got the funds why were we able to recruit who we did last year? Connor Hourihane, Tom Barkhuizen, Korey Smith and James Collins all came from the leagues above. They were not put on long contracts, perhaps two years for most, which means the wages were reasonably competitive.
My thought is that Paul Warne isn’t attractive to some players. At the end of the day he is a nobody. He is an ex Rotherham player who struck lucky when they gave him the job after Kenny Jackett left. Paul had only played in the lower leagues and had no reputation. His playing style isn’t attractive and I believe he has no pulling power.
Liam Rosenior was known in the Championship and at mid / lower Premier League teams. In my opinion he had a lot more pulling power.
Why are we constantly linked with Rotherham or ex Rotherham player? Because they know Warne and no convincing is required.
We have the ground, which is better than most Championship clubs, and the training facilities. We have a tier one academy and we get 25,000 plus crowds in League 1.

I didn’t hear anyone moaning when we signed the then Premier League player. Shouts of ‘we are going to win the league’ were heard.

You mean Martin can play football and isn’t a headless chicken who runs around without purpose.

I still find it amazing that David Clowes is effectively hamstrung because of Mel Morris’ mistakes.
The club owe debts become of Mel but he has walked away without carrying the bill for HMRC.
As long as David can prove her can fund the club and repay the debts then we should be able to sign players without conditions.

I actually think Oduroh would benefit playing next to Davies. I always remember Ashley Cole saying playing next to Tony Adams really helped him. Adams would tell him where to go and when to do things. This turned him into a world class left back.

Can I ask what Liam has done to warrant another job. If the result tonight stays the same we are upper mid table. He has a very good team yet we struggle in most games.
Now I know most will say ‘well they need to gel’ but how long does that take? Six months?
If we are not comfortably in the play offs by Christmas, I am taking a four point cushion, then questions need to be asked about his position.
David Clowes clearly isn’t that struck otherwise he wouldn’t be our interim manager.

To be honest after the Plymouth I was shocked. To be two up at home and lose was just appalling. This as the follow up game is even more appalling.
Some will say it is too early to sack him but are we improving? Are we showing any progress? Have we scored in an away game yet?

I would have Knight, Smith and Hourihane.

It is not a transitional season. We can’t be happy for to bum around in league one whilst Liam ‘learns his trade’. The aim is to get promoted straight away.
Chester is too old to play right back and Smith would be the same as Knight, a centre midfielder playing in the wrong position.
The issue now is we play Oduroh and risk mistakes or we try to convert someone into a right back. Either way it is a risk.

Completely out of his depth. 
How many games have we played well in this season? Barnsley first half, Charlton first half. Struggling to remember more.
Teams know how to stop us and Rosenior doesn't know how to come up with the answers.
It was clear after Plymouth that out midfield wasn't working. Crying out for Knight there. He's not even put Oduroh on the bench to give himself the option to move Knight during the game.
That's Shrewsbury, Fleetwood and Lincoln which could yield 2 points. Nowhere near good enough.
Says the other week that nobody is guaranteed to start, mentioning players like Hourihane etc. Said he's not afraid to play these young lads, Oduroh and Rooney after they've done well in cup games. Yet the following game they don't make the bench.
Bird is woeful at the moment. Absolutely woeful. Doesn't bring anything to this side at all. But continues to play.
