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.
    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.

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

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

    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

    Owls reserve George Byers said to have turned down loan to Rotherham in favour of similar move to Blackpool. Are we that desperate ?

    Well, he's another with a dodgy injury record but I think this is just another made up rumour

    It is in the Star that we enquired after him, whether he turned us down and chose Blackpool is speculation, Barnsley were also after him and you would think that would be a better move for him personally, so suspect it is down to money again. let us hope the club do whatever business they can today, this squad wasn't fit for a relegation battle before the window opened and it has only got worse in the last few weeks.

    George Byers is miles better than anything we've got in midfield.
