Barney1991 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I think it’s more wildsmiths decision than ours tbh just guess work on my part but sounds like ever since the January news came out he’s wanted to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew3000 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Dignified exits for Smith & Hourihane, two model professionals who would not really contribute in the Champ. Wierd exit for Wildsmith. I honestly dk how Forsyth gets an extension triggered from last seasons appearances. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeTownRams Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Just hope that the thinking isn’t that Vickers becomes the number 1- but knowing his connection with PW I suspect this may be the case. Even more so with Loach leaving- so a new number 2 (only) required ? JW clearly didn’t want to be part of the ongoing project- maybe he just wanted or felt he deserved more money. At the end of the day he did well for us and we wish him well- but it’s not a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I think Joe wanted #1 status and perhaps that's not PW's plan. I think he is moving into the prime years for a keeper and clearly wants guaranteed football and as a man with a young family, that's understandable. That said, I'm very sad to see Joe leave as he's been generally excellent for us over the last 2 years. I suppose all we can do is say, 'cheers Joe, thanks for the memories' and wish the lad well for the future.

LazloW Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Only one of the departures who I’m really disappointed about. He’s been a cracking keeper and shame another club will benefit. Oh well. It happens. JPRamFan, angieram, Andrew3000 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be cover almost certainly, but his legs haven’t gone, he could stand in, in 3 different positions and give a good account of himself.

The same ITKers who leaked the retained list also mentioned that was the case and having looked on the Rotherham forum, someone on their mentioned a keeper coming in ‘who was well known to the fans’.

Incredibly likeable, amazing comeback from injuries and some great performances in LG 1 but is very close to retirement. If anything, we need more mobile pacy defenders to balance things out back there. Seems overly generous from the club to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Wildsmith getting some keyboard warrior abuse on good ol' social media. He's completed his contract, a big part of the promotion campaign. Proved to everyone he can be a number one and not a bench warmer. Well done Joe. Good luck for next season.

Can't see him at LB or LWB at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wierd exit for Wildsmith. I honestly dk how Forsyth gets an extension triggered from last seasons appearances. Just had a look. 26 games. Fair play. Although, a lot of that was the injury to Elder I seem to recall. Thinking about it, if fully fit, a better CB than Bradley, in some ways. Again, I think I just think lack pace at the back is our weakness with only Nyambe who you would say is quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
