Without signing another striker, possibly two, we are almost certainly resigning ourselves to a relegation fight. That seems to be ok for some. It wasn?t so long ago that we were laughing at Donny. Now, they can?t wait to play us.
Hopefully is the word Brin. Unfortunately if he doesn?t back the Manager it?s only going to end one way.
To be fair I am not convinced we will do anything at all without more investment.
Little old Rotherham might be ok for some but without ambition we will end up right back where we were when he first took over.
We have a small time mentality. It?s holding the club back
No MH said he was after one before the Nombe injury and ideally he would like two, I am just repeating what the manager has said over the last few weeks. Remember 3 of the so called strikers are out injured, two of those have awful injury records so are likely not to play more than 50% of games this season. I think Hugill record speaks for itself, hasn?t scored since last October, and most of last seasons goals were against lower league or reserve teams in the Efl trophy. That leaves McGuckin who went off injured and MH says shouldn?t be relied upon.
I understand the ?we can?t control? comment, but for a fan to not worry two league games in and us having very little goal scoring players, is resigning yourself to a relegation fight, if it is not addressed. I didn?t buy my three season tickets expecting us to struggle at the bottom end and I doubt many others did either. So is it worrying or is it caring?
I don?t have silly expectations, I expect us to try and improve on last seasons 13th, to play some attractive football and for the team to look like they are trying (last 30 minutes at Salford showed some of that). Football is all about goals, scoring enough of them and stopping the others. So yes I am worried because I care, and think the centenary year being crowned with a relegation fight is failure at all levels, perhaps that is where I differ from others. MH needs the backing of the board between now and 1st September, I hope he gets it.
When you play with fire, you get burnt. Thanks Stewart…..not made of money??..good at wasting it.
We need a chairman and board with a bit of money, not mega rich, just rich in common football sense. This is what happens with autocrats.
What a disaster of three seasons. Knew it was coming one way or another…..still, the hotel has past muster and on to next phase.
TS really has a new pastime. NYS no longer his hobby, to quote his words - hobby.
