    Shads - tha getting mixed up.
    Tha needs to keep up!!!

    I said Sormaz was probably to blame for not getting players over the line.
    That still might be the case.
    However - Neerav in a recent interview said that Sormaz is doing a good job working within the parameters (available money) set down by the club.

    So obviously it?s a lack of funding from Neerav that?s a major factor here.
    The inability to get a couple of loan strikers in has got the alarm bells ringing amongst fans.
    Hence the 100s of empty seats at the Well.

    But as I suggested - has that funding been withheld because they don?t want to spend on an HC that they knew they were going to sack after January ???

    As for the 1978 team - yes I remember that team.
    But football has moved on massively.
    Play like that now and we would be slaughtered ever game.

    You cannot remember that team otherwise you would not come out with the comment that they would get slaughtered every game , you might not be able to compare different eras but you can certainly discuss the qualities of players ,that defence was far and away light years in front of what we have today, and believe it or not playing a back four is not out dated and as we proved on saturday it can be used to great effect , just look at the teams us and Rotherham had when we went up together and they were both great sides with great players and guess what they both played with a flat back four , Rotherham had Stancliffe and we had McCarthy at the heart of their respective defences , warriors through and through , do not try and tell me that in todays football players like that would be in a side getting slaughtered every week , you are having a laugh !!

    Again you are having laugh Nudge.
    Of course football moved on with the improved pitches, training facilities, number of coaching staff and even the match ball.
