Scary to think ROD who made 1 app last season despite being brought in be Hoothroyd is expected to lead the line this season...

His stating the obvious is starting to real grate badly, just like Dinyull hated Micky Adams talking in the 3rd person.

It's fair enough getting rid but you need to replace them. Some posters note that we've lost squad players from a squad that was already weak/small in numbers - so the squad that finished 17th is weaker. From that you'd have to say the chances of finishing below 17th are real - not even taking...

Fair enough, I just don't rate the guy. Decent option as a squad player but would put Turner, Cranie and Wood ahead of him and Cameron not too far off. I think a lot of our fans rate him simply because he put's it all on the line for us - a brilliant block oftern clouds people's memories when...

Totally agree, just get worried that many on here expect big things from Thomas and Bigirimana straight away.

Also, what I usually find is those that are overly optimistic are the first to turn against the manager if we start poorly or go though a sticky patch. That's the last thing we need.

Not Mr. Negative at all - I prefer Mr. Realistic. Read my first post in this thread. And to say the club youth set-up is churning players out ready for this season is crazy talk. They might be ready but we don't know that yet. Simple facts are, finished 17th last season, lost our 2 best...

Not at all, but he's proven himself to be better than Deegan, Thomas and the rest of the young un's. Might not prove to be a miss if the youngsters step up but that's a big if.

Schmeeee said more chance of top 10 then relegation - who I was picking up on, who I said needed to pick his head up out of the ground! Nowt against students, just thought I'd put a cheap dig in there.

What would be the point in taking your bet on? I'd only be gaining my tax money back. To be honest, anyone who seriously thinks there is more chance of finishing top 10 than relegation with the squad, manager, financial position of the club is daydreaming.

I was asking for his fucking opinion.

You need to pull your head out of the ground. Why do you think we're as likely to end up top half as we are to be relegated? Thorn, squad, fans???

We've lost the best goalkeeper in the division - replaced with an average Championship keeper. Lost a promising young midfielder - not replaced him. Lost our best striker in years - not replaced him. Last season we finished 17th. We have an unproven manager. Our first team is weaker than last...

Also known as the Mo Konjic affect.....

Spot on. Best way to desribe McPake is a clogger - he dives into tackles and put's his body on the line.....usually to make up for a rick he's just made seconds earlier.

Well, if the club received/accepted an offer yesterday afternoon or this morning it's only an hour and a half's drive up the M1.

:pointlaugh:

Are these the first players to sign extensions whilst SISU have been here??? Both are injury prone and I could live without McPake - we have plenty of centre halves and I rate Turner, Cranie and Wood ahead of him.

The interview would have been yesterday so it's not that far fetched at all. And him commiting means jack, as soon as a decent bid comes in we'll accept and he's not going to turn down a team/club like Leeds to stay with us. Still, I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't read it like that. The way I see it is: if they were doing a good job as advisors the Chairman might have thought we'd benefit with them being on the board. If investors were introduced or being introduced SISU would announce it straight away as they need some positive news out atm...
