    Match Thread Rotherham United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Oct

    Seems an odd bench given that we could have put either of Wakefield or Bapaga in the squad as cover for Kastaneer. Or could have had Biamou in there to go 4-4-2

    Hiwula & Jobello

    Never made sense to me that Burton were apparently so willing to let him go, makes you wonder if they knew something we didn't.

    Addai

    Bilson has gone out on loan now so presume Addai will come back into the U23 side

    I thought i read Nigel Adkins had been given the Huddersfield job? :emoji_thinking:

    U23 v Hull

    They go out on the clubs twitter feed eventually, takes a while though usually.

    First choice midfield

    I just worry about dropping contracted players for loanees. Sends the wrong message I feel to players like Shipley who have battled their way into the first team. Yes it's clear O'Hare has talent in spades and we have to use it of course but O'Hare won't be here next season and Shipley probably...

    U23 v Hull

    On recent showings i would say Bremang is pushing ahead of Baka as well. Its nice that there are several u23 players all making progress at the same time, Williams, Drysdale, Bapaga, Eccles and Bremang all looking like they can transition to the first team and Wakefield is regaining his...

    First choice midfield

    Not seen enough of Walsh to make a judgement to be fair but I couldn't contemplate putting him in the side at the expense of Kelly.

    First choice midfield

    A lot depends on how Jones turns out. A lot of players just don't come back from the kind of injuries he's had. They may regain fitness but something changes with them and they never look the same player they did before. I really hope that's not the case with Jones, would be brilliant to add him...

    I watched Rochdale a lot during the Keith Hill years and it was for the most part good entertaining football and he certainly had a knack of picking up either non League gems or players from divisions above who's career had stalled for whatever reason and managed to get the best out of them.

    Transfer Rumour Liam Walsh season loan

    Agree he will be but can't see Scunthorpe picking up much of his wage, perhaps 50% at best?

    Bolton Latest Announcement

    Most of them are only on loan or short term contracts until January. Think it was just a case of who was available and willing to sign. Not a big pool to pick from. I still rate Keith Hill as a manager though, think he is as his best when given no money to spend and he knows how to hold his own...

    By selling the stadium? Just a thought......

    Addai

    That's understandable, especially if they were paying some or all of Addai's wages.

    Transfer Rumour Liam Walsh season loan

    Curious as to how we afforded this one, can't imagine it was a cheapy deal. Even allowing for Junior Brown going out on loan, i would imagine we are still paying the bulk of his wages and i'm certain MR stated more than once that the budget was spent unless more first teamers left. Not...

    Transfer Rumour David Meyler.

    A low risk signing though and had he found fitness/form it could have been good. Some signings are just worth a punt.

    Sunderland's new scout maybe?

    Are SISU bad owners?

    I would never call them good owners but I don't think they are the worst. I also kind of appreciate that with SISU what you see is what you get. There's no pretence that it's about anything other than the money. I think I prefer that to some white knight charging in with grand plans only for it...

    Sky Blue youth superstars who never made it...

    It is harsh on reflection. I only meant that people expected bigger and better things from him. Is he still playing?
