    Yep. My biggest concern about going up.

    His Rotherham teams were absolutely shambolic in the championship and had nothing to do with their budget. 
    I think he’d had done alright 15/20 years ago, but football has dramatically changed since then. Sadly for us, Paul Warne hasn’t 

    They had 5 games in hand to make up 3 points on a team that won 1 in 15 and none in their last 7.  Almost impossible for them to drop.  They did though.

    He's missing from rovers squad tonight through 'illness'. Reckon it's homesickness and he's coming home?... 🤭

    Out of contract in a week. 10 in 18.  Someone wants him.  Portsmouth, Bolton or Oxford would be my bet.

  3. With Knights attributes and regular MOTM/POTM awards. It's a shame we didn't hang on to him and take a chance like we have so far with Cashin and Bird.  We weren't given break the bank money and I'd imagine we'd be turning down similar bids for Cashin now with half the contract time and Knight with his championship and International appearances would surely have gone for more at tribunal, or not at all if we went up. His energy level is off the chart and would be just what were missing in midfield to liven things up.  Thompson isn't in the same league I'm afraid although he tries.

    Good signing if he keeps improving.

    Reminiscent of when we signed Blackman in some respects, he came in during the winter window after a very good 6 months. Hope he beds in better.

    Pretty sure he and NML will be our first choice wide players going forward, switching sides when they feel like it. Its nice to know what we have in place the next few years.

    Like that we have options out wide now who can bring different things if we need it, and we don't have to run NML into the ground.

    Smith will round our attack off pretty well and I think we have enough in the squad overall to see us through injuries. Whilst I think we could upgrade on a few players any additional signings now will be a bonus.

    I remember us competing with Wednesday for him.  Started at 550k and was 2.7 million with a supposed 25 k a week wage two weeks later.  Incredibly, they matched it but he wanted to be Coached by Warne- who we paid off a few weeks later for not doing it the Derby Way. I was desperate for them to get him. Blackman, Camara and a multi million pay off in a few glorious weeks.

    Was he out of contract? I've seen plenty of loans with options to buy, but can't remember a single pre-agreed loan and then signing. Maybe it's just my beer addled brain.

     

    I'm not 100% sure, it was about 14 years ago incredibly.  Just rang a bell.

    If we can't afford a 300k transfer fee, Clowes is going to fume when he sees the 300k loan fee.

    So we are manoeuvring a business plan then.  We need a winger but we don't need anymore EFL bollox.  They've signed off on things before as we all know.  Makes me twitchy.  What will be, will be.

    Why?  I think it’s explained pretty clearly and makes sense.  Think of it as we’ve effectively paid £300k for a 26 year old on a 3 1/2 year contract.  Good business.

    We haven't got 300 k to spend upfront to allow us to bring in another player this window.  So we are taking from a future budget under the clubs own direction, or having to manoeuvre a pre existing condition in the 2 year plan.  Can't see any other reasoning unless I've missed it.

    Bamfords

     

    , are they actually allowed to lose that much? Not that it matters to them.

    This makes it even funnier that we stopped their long unbeaten run and derailed their playoff push.

     What makes it funnier is his of lack mathematical ability with all them fingers.  He should look at the league table.

    I see Sheff United got another ludicrous penalty decision to earn a point today. Have they won a point this season that hasn't been thanks to VAR or a referee's decision?

    They got for a penalty in the 100th minute against Wolves that didn't go to VAR. Thats 2 points they shouldn't have had.
