[jvmiller]

A cautionary tale from Brano!

We won't walk L2 either if Warney is manager

[monty_rhodes]

Agreed, Millertop. Not sure what GB is on but the idea that anyone thinks we might "walk" L1 is quite funny.

"So to go into League One with Rotherham’s finances should help them"

But it's a myth, those "finances" don't exist.

We will be the same as before, identify a good player, get him on loan, he plays well then signs for somebody else.

All this with the usual smoke and mirrors of "record breaking fee", "marquee signing" and "we tried hard to get this deal over the line"

Disagree with GB, wouldn't keep Smallwood. He couldn't get in the S****horpe side. We're looking at being a top league 1 side so wouldn't get in our side. Rest of the season I'd play Forde in his place with either Taylor or Bray on the right.

The only marquee signing we will be making is one of Billy Smart's old big tops.

Gwru. A few stats regarding your scapegoat Smallwood.
You say he's not good enough and couldn't get in the S****horpe squad. He actually played 19x for the irons (start and bench). They lost once in those 19 games
Since he left in January they have played 13 games and won 3.
I guess stats can be Miss leading though

Smallwood is not a scapegoat. Just doesn't seem to be same player when we signed him.

Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up with SE at Mansfield.

Must have hurt his shin scoring that goal at MK last year
