..........and then add in Christ's work permit and the Billy Sharp saga and it seems we haven't improved since the 'Farrend Rawson Fax Machinegate!'. Does this kind of Sh*t only happen to us? The irony to all this is that MT's vision of where we want to be and the diligence of preparedness to take on a 'brutal' division has ended up with us been the least prepared to take it on since Evans got us there in 2014!

There's a lot of talking the talk but not much walking the walk.
It may just be down to bad luck but so many things at the club just seem amateurish.
It would be really good if TS appointed a couple of people onto the board who were up to speed about what is required to get things done in today's football world.....but he won't so we're stuck with the same old dinosaurs who've been there since day one.

Someone like a Plymouth have - Neil Dewsnip - their recruitment so far could see them establishing an upper tier Championship status within a season or two (I reckon)

Groundhog Day - any chance of finding players who can stay fit most of the time?

[Back of the net]

We could easily lose our next 5 games.
Who gets the blame MT or TS Rob Scott maybe.
I only missed one game last season. I won’t be going all away games again if promises are not kept by end of window.

DEFENDER Lee Peltier is facing months on the sidelines after breaking down for Rotherham United on the opening day of the Championship campaign.

The right-back came on as a half-time substitute in last Saturday's 4-1 loss at Stoke City and lasted only 13 minutes before limping off injured.

Tests this week have shown the problem is even worse than the Millers first feared.

“Pelts has damaged his calf quite badly,” manager Matt Taylor told the Advertiser. “He'll be out for a substantial amount of time. We're talking months.

“It is a blow, a real blow. We'll miss his performances, his character, his ‘spike’.”

The 36-year-old, who signed a new one-year deal in the summer, is one of more than half a dozen Rotherham players on the casualty list and there is unwelcome news concerning winger Shane Ferguson and midfielder Jamie Lindsay.

Ferguson is to see a specialist because of lingering issues following a hernia operation and Lindsay's troublesome achilles is failing to respond to treatment. The former has been out since the end of last term while the latter hasn't played for more than a month.

“Shane's had countless problems with this stomach complaint,” Taylor said. “Jamie's issue is an incredibly frustrating one. When he first did it we felt it was just a tightness in a tendon where his calf attaches to his achilles. Maybe it's a slow-healing place because of the blood supply. It's just not improved. I expected him to be fit at the start of the season. I don't have a time frame on him.”

Meanwhile a super fit 37 year old continues at Doncaster…. Taylor, I’m beginning to doubt your vision.
