Anyway, anyone want to talk about the good and bad bits about the game ? Individual performances ?
 

Or is this just the usual polarised Warne is a clown, Bradley is a liability, recruitment is rubbish, Sibley should play for England, Collins is a donkey, Ipswich were better than us. Etc etc etc ? 
 

for me, I had big hopes for Ward but he seems to have self doubt, doesn’t instinctively seek front foot which he is undoubtedly capable, thought Sibs did a couple of stormingly good tackles then spoilt it giving the ball away and being too lightweight. Back line did well, major blooper apart. Adams is a machine that bites, Collo just never gives up and gives everything and is effective. NML full of fight but carrying that foot injury took his edge away. Birdy looks much freer with Adams behind him. Not moaning about the ref except as far as his lack of interest in wrestling 

Good post the Wrestling thing is a joke he must of warned them 3/4 times yet just watched them carry on do it as the crosses came in and did nothing 

Also was that lines man in the first half terrible Or very good? Gave everything offside as he looked about 10 yards of the pace every time we went forward,  a few looked very dodgy as he just raised the flag for fun 

Think we’ll be in the play offs this year but we’ll have to play better than normal if we’re to be the best side over 3 games 

That guy who scorer spent all day wrestling Bradley in the box How we never got a pen

Big big 2 points dropped that, Bolton could be 5 points above us when they come to Derby, they didn’t threaten second half at all, went 1-0 and sat back, poor

If CBT isn’t fit we need NML to play

Good results them 

Great  away win that was yesterday. Long day out but well worth it 

Wasn’t ever able to play was he just said was 

Left at 6.30 this morning fancied us if we had CBT and already injured

He plays padel at DW across from Pride Park all the time apparently, and if he was signing surely he would be at Moor Farm? 

100 he’d be at moor farm and everyone else is in London 

Just now, Tyler Durden said:

You seem very certain that we have zero percent chance of signing him. 

I don’t think we do and I don’t think we’ll be in for him but why not share it when I saw it?

What's the point of starting a transfer rumour then in the same breadth totally writing it off happening.

Saw it so shared it and gave my opinion on it … not hard is it?

Didn't get mentioned in the BBC Interview the 5min clip I've just watched. Think he gave a pretty good assessment of it obviously only 2 names got leaked so fans are fixated on "we were messing with one club" but he said he had 15 names and it was the same across the board they needed people in before they let people go and it all came to a standstill. Only criticism would be letting Brown go too early In that case we played our hand too soon.

Cheers pal I am surprised he wasn’t asked about free agents tbf 

Has he said anything about free transfers?

Nice new manager bounce for them

This match could be the third in a month when we are facing a team who have just changed their manager; Fleetwood and Burton being the others. For Fleetwood, it was Adams' first home game, second game overall.

Have they sacked Appleton yet?

Exactly. If Thompson had been given opportunities last season, we wouldn't have needed to sign White last January. It may have been a factor in not needing to use up some of the budget on Fornah in the summer too. Same applies for Robinson.

I( think back to Cashin's introduction to the first team. Honestly, I wouldn't have put him above L2 standard at the time, which is where I feel Brown is at now. Would Warne have started him, when we still had Davies, Forsyth and Bielik as the other options at CB? 
Would have have given Plange his debut when we still had Jozwiak and Stearman on the bench?
Would he have played Williams at LWB and Forsyth CB and leave Stearman on the bench?

Put simply, Warne's mentality is wrong for this club. Wilson's the youngest player he's permanently signed for us and he's 23. Out of his Rotherham signings who joined at a younger age, 

22/23:
None used. A 21 yo keeper played 45 mins under the following manager and has been a free agent since the summer

21/22:
None used, but signed a keeper who has since retired

20/21:
20 yo keeper who has been a regular starter

19/20:
20 yo LB who featured for 622 mins in all competitions over 2 seasons before being moved on
19 yo LW who got 176 mins
22 year old Ogbene who was as squad player in his first season, then got just 606 mins in the Championship the following season before being a regualr starter in L1 aged 24.
21 year old Olusunde who was as squad player for 2 years and has only set foot on a football field 3 times since.

18/19:
None signed

17/18:
22 yo CM who got 1832 mins in all competitions over 2 seasons before being moved on
20 yo CB who got 180 mins before being shipped out to non-league sides.
22 yo winger who got 242 in all competitions over 2 seasons before being moved on

16/17:
19 yo LB who got 1756 mins in all competitions over 2 seasons before being moved on

That's only 1 succesful young signing!!!

Wow that’s eye opening that is, why would a young kid want to come here 

0% chance with the other clubs interested 

‘Tried’ ‘couldn’t get it over the line’ we’ve had all month pathetic 

Gayle has left stoke

Can’t wait for his presser tomorrow

”we tried all we could” “we’re under restrictions” “wash is back soon”
