He said he wouldn’t waste Frank’s money. It’s early days but the permanent signings of Hammond, & Conlon look dubious to say the least and as I’ve said before, IMO the signing of 36 year old Garner who will be on a good wedge was not good business as we’d already brought in Dallas only 7 days earlier!! Sachdev & especially Walker have been consigned to the bin already…..If he’d wrote off the season why would he have brought that lot in? It suggests to me that they were proper going for it and it’s sensationally backfired! It’s either poor management, poor recruitment, or poor players or a combination …. IMO, Stones is probably the only incoming player I can remember who has made any sort of impact apart from perhaps Hobson & Yarney since the Rothwell’s took over.

Strange!!!! Have you not seen enough of that absolutely useless tw** yet!!

Maybe so but surely a loan signing would have been better than giving a near 36 year old an 18 month deal? He’ll be on a good contract no doubt and if Norwood were to leave would you really want him as your main striker next season?

But we haven’t made the playoffs so perhaps we could have used the money elsewhere. An 18 month deal for a 36 year old who doesn’t look too mobile and spends a lot of his time on his arse seems poor value to me!

Maybe he’s not doing it in training too? He was recalled from his last loan due to a lack of game time so it’s a bit strange to say the least!

Because he’s been consistently crap in just about every game he’s played!!

We are talking about Shelton here?

If we could get back most of our outlay by selling Norwood in the summer would that be worth consideration?

Sort out the midfield and get a couple of decent wingers in and I expect those two would bag for fun!!

That would put us on just under 70 points over a season which wouldn’t normally be enough for the playoffs and won’t be this season either. As you say, complete collapse over the last month or so is what’s killed us but the fact that MM has overseen it and doesn’t appear to have a clue as to getting us back on track is my concern!

Can’t offer Gardner another deal with his fitness issues surely? I have to question whether we even needed Garner, the money should have been saved or spent on a RB or another midfielder.

Probably the only time we regularly get players in to the box!

Talking of swinging crosses over….when was the last time we scored from a corner kick? I can’t remember….must have been a while ago!

Just after he took Brabin on as coach.

Something along those lines…yes!

More money than sense….obviously!

Mellon included? Would you trust him to start from scratch?

I’m not his biggest fan but I’d be moving one or two more out before Hogan. Not a starter but a more than worthy squad player for this division.

He’s a fox in the box player so he’s wasting his time here…Haaland would struggle here!!

He kicked the ball in the direction of the box….for me is is way overrated!

Kitching like the rest, cannot beat a man to save his life. As soon as he gets a defender on him he turns around and passes backwards. We have no one who can pick a forward pass or carry the ball with any intent! We are far too slow and predictable and so easy to play against.

And a stronger 1st Eleven too!

Has anyone any idea where this rumour of Mellon walking at the end of the season come from?

And he’s here for another season!

You are an eternal optimist….oh, and we just lost 2 in a row!
