    I said we haven't moved forward on the field of play.

    Apparently this season we had learned lessons from our previous season in the Championship and were better equipped to compete. That's what TS said but anyone can see it's simply not the case and it will be exactly the same if we manage to go up again.
    If you and others are happy with that, fine, but I'd be really interested to know why.
    Matt Taylor said in the summer that we were in the transfer market to bring higher quality players to the football club. The strategy was to bring in players with Championship experience or above. Hence the likes of Cafu, Onyedinma and others. We spent a million quid on a striker and half a million quid on a midfielder. This is why TS said we were better equipped. At the time I completely agreed with him, as did others on here. Some people even thought we might finish mid-table.

    So you can't really say we didn't try to equip ourselves better or do something different, because we did.

    A ton of injuries, a manager with little tactical nous and questionable attitudes amongst certain players cost us this season.

    Nowhere do I 'hound' TS nor do I say anything disrespectful about the Chairman.

    How can either of those clubs put that kind of money up when they deep in the mire in debt?

    Well, the first one’s lying, the second one’s cheating

    A nice common sense view of our season so far. It's been a season with injuries none I would say who post on here have ever seen anything like this before in any given season and we've all seen alot throughout our years watching the Millers..

    Taylor bought crocked players? Some players took a wage and thought screw it I'm here now so what? All these things add up and anyone could be blamed for our poor season. Thankfully we have a new Manager who should be given all the support he can to try to turn this mess around best he can. Failing that, we start again next season.

    Some of them thought screw it and they didn’t even have injuries. Sadly most of them are still with us.

    The loss of arguably our 3 best outfield players in Laser, Chieo and Wiles also killed us.
    A perfect storm along with some the other reasons given above.
    Connor Coventry thankfully just about plugged one gap but no one else has stepped up to mitigate the loss of the others

    I did post that in a mild content, basically I'd stop their ***** wages! What exactly is wrong with Ayala?

    In his defence, it’s probably simple, he’s not much of a footballer

    10 out of 10 for his agent though selling the guy well enough for us to want him.
