MillersMad Matchthread - Crewe v The Millers

[frogmiller]

We've only gone and been proactive in the transfer window! We have let a good talented player in Sadlier go. A player who really didn't fit our style of play so it's fair enough. Thankfully, for him he has gone to the best team in the league according to their manager so that should help him.
Freddie is still here so we have a the same attacking options as before or would have if we hadn't signed Kelly. Kelly was the leading goal scorer in the Irish Premier League this season. There's something that I don't get mind! If football is a winter sport why does the Irish league finish in November? Well that was when the Irish cup final was played thus the last time Kelly played a competitive game.
So really it's not really a signing of a player that will come in and hit the ground running is it? Under his own admission he's said that it'll take him a few weeks to get up to speed and that he has a lot of work to do. He's one for the near future and hopefully he'll be showing us his worth by the end of the season!
There's another signing coming that will impress and surprise at the same time! One that should have an immediate impact so this transfer window should prove profitable and productive!

We're still heading in the right direction! We're buying players and making money on them or at least not losing money on them when they move on! There replacements are contracted to us apart from the ones from higher divisions (and Grigg) that are far too expensive for us to fit into our wage sructure or budget as a whole.

Really, we are in fantastic shape! 3rd in the league with a well astablished squad and in the semi final of the Pizza plaque.

Quality players throughout the team! Players you would want us to sign if we didn't already have them and a management team that is most suited to the club today than any other since the days of Ronnie Moore and John Breckin.

So far this has been a fantastic season with us having a 2 point return for each game played! There is no reason why we should not continue this form! A couple of defeats away from home are common place for every football team in the world so all we have to do is win today and that blip will be a thing for the history books!

We're going back to the Championship folks and this time the easier way! Automatiques!

Enjoy the match boys and girls and happy birthday Ronnie moore! Only another year to wait for the next one!

Many happy returns to the young Ronald David. Three points would be a great present for the King. Meanwhile, the young Prince continues to plot his way to the title. Onwards and upwards!

Froggy, are you now part of the Establishment? Insider news on transfers? Frequent mentions on iFollow! Where will it end?

You're too kind. The insider stuff is on Twitter and the ifollow mentions I just send them tweets. But when ifollow was just starting out I used to be in touch with Matt Young that ran the media side for the club helping him out and trying to get the sound and video in cync. Fortunately things have moved on since but I have kept in touch with the new media guys who are incredible. Sam Todd works tirelessly for the club and does more than you'd expect an employee to do. Matt Goodwin is contracted to cover the games so it releases Sam to do a lot of the pre-match tours and post match interviews.
I had the pleasure of meeting them at the Wycombe game, they both took time out to come and see me and I did manage to have a photo taken with those two and John Breckin, unfortunately Les Payne didn't turn up until later on so I missed that opportunity although it turns out that he's been mates with my dad since they we playing schoolboy football.

Wouldn't be being on any games today with this wind, makes things too unpredictable.

That's interesting Froggy. Know Les, but only through schooldays. We went to a school that didn't play footy; we used to play a barbaric game where fat kids would pick up the ball and run at skinny kids like me, while some Welsh masochist would shout that you had to tackle him by grabbing the fat kid's legs!
Les and I, and others, did play in a 5-a-side competition held at Rotherham baths. We had two teams, Rawmish Rovers A and B, and both were cheated at the semi-final stage by dodgy refs.
So what was the connection between your dad and Les? Could be I know him.

My dad is Mick and as a kid he played for Thrybergh old boys.

Neither name rings any bells. Oh well.

Was it Corinthians or something like that that Les played for? As a winger?
