Assuming that he'll be offered the permanent position, which I imagine is highly likely, Hamshaw's mind must be turning to preparations for next season.

His priority must be to persuade Haks and Cam to sign new contracts - if he's successful, we could start the season with some stability and he could build his team around these two.

A new keeper is essential; not just sound between the sticks but capable of decent distribution.

His back line of Rafferty, Haks, Hull & James is reasonable but he must look for alternatives for Raggett and Jules given their injury woes.

I'd have Humphreys as my holding midfielder and give Powell the license to roam as he did against Blackpool to great effect. After the loanees are returned, I reckon he should ship out MacDonald and McWilliams who are not up to League One level imo. Kelly may have a season left in him but will not be reliable as a constant so there's work to be done in recruiting width and decent cover.

Up front, Nombe is the only shoe-in but I suspect Hugill will improve his contribution under Hammy's guidance. We should work on Holmes and JJ to increase their contributions and, depending on the outcome of the Owls' financial issues, it might be worth a cheeky bid to bring in Wilks permanent. The other forwards should be moved on if possible.

Assuming TS is willing to offer Hamshaw a Centenary budget boost to bring in players with the Millers' ethos and, assuming we can bring in a couple of decent loanees, we could build a squad which is capable of delivering far more than the dismal offerings we've seen this season.

It's a mammoth task but I reckon MH and AW have what it takes to deliver!

Onwards and upwards!!
