    How good were PW new signings

    We seem to be split between those that think we didn't recruit well, those that think what we got was all we could get and those that think we did well if we were 8th when PW left. So if you look at the 11 signings, I have posted my views what do others think.
    Bramall – Poor defensively, could improve, set pieces poor, looks a League 1 player
    High (Loan) – 25 games for play-off Huddersfield, cant get a start, difficult to judge with just a few substitute opportunities.
    Eaves – No convinced at all, a 3rd of the season gone, looks slow, and well passed his best, 3 year deal seems a very strange decision.
    Washington – Works hard will get 5 ot 6 goals a season, not a championship level player
    McCart – Hasn’t started a league game, so no idea if he is good or bad. Another wage spent on a player that doesn’t play.
    Norton-Cuffy (Loan) – Decent bit of business, however he is young and can’t be expected to play 40+ games
    Humphreys – Looks ok, reads the game well, is calm but slow, also seems a it of an injury prone player
    Peltier – Slightly younger Wood and PW mate
    Hall (Loan) – A good solid Championship player towards the end of his career, but a good addition.
    Kioso – Injury prone, so no idea if he is any good, another wage for a player that doesn’t play
    Hemfrey – No idea

    Budget was ****.

    Not 1 penny spent in transfer fees

    Pw said he wanted to see commitment before signing a new contract

    Than he went to a league 1 club.



    Anyone who thinks given the choice pw would off signed the players he did are in cloud cooko land

    Scraping the free transfer barrel.

    That is complete and utter twardle, or PW is a liar. PW stated numerous times that all the people involved in the recruitment had to be onboard for a player to sign, so you are saying PW sat in those meetings and said no to all those players but the club signed them anyway against his wishes. If you really believe that happened then you should go and take more pictures of the fairies at the bottom of your garden.

    You could argue with the exception of eaves they are ok.

    Peltier was brought in to rotate with woods. We can all see they don't work together but both play well when they are the sole leader.

    Bramhall in league one was class for Lincoln and players we should be taking a risk on. Given time he will improve.

    Washington works hard. Has scored 2 lovely goals and players better with ogbene. Not sure he will score enough goals to say he's been successfully this season.

    Cuffy. First 2 games I though omg,. What has warne brought in. Then he had 2 ok games followed by a motm game. Then last 2 he's been poor.
    Something I notices when we played, I believe millwall. MT called the players over when the game stopped. All came over except cuffy who just stood with his hands on his hips looking at the bench. I don't think he's warming to MT..

    Humphreys I like. The way he plays He looks slow and laboured but he always seams to be in the right place at the right time. His best games are when we have hall and wood along side him. Think he will be good for the millers..

    Hall,. Perfect signing for the millers,. Not too old. Good height and willing to stick his head in. Yes he has a pace problem but most tall CB do.

    mcCart, high and kioso I've not seen enough to say either way

    I think Warne did what he had always done last close season. No different. But he knew as well as us that it was a long shot to survive with the players he and his staff gathered together. With good management, the same squad will most likely challenge well in league 1 next season although the likely loss of Dan, Chio and Viking may well be the end of the yo-yo period. But we'll see.

    Seem McCart rate. Hall can do a job. Norton-Cuffy can if he's managed not in every game. Kioso don't know.



    Rest not for me. Bramall especially don't rate. Eaves same 3 year contract to a forward his age how stupid is that!

    Didn't Paul Warne sign every player we have so why not include those in the list as well or don't you want to highlight the positives? It would seem that way because recently you are just having a dig at everyone and everything? As for spending wages on players who don't play, every team has a squad of 23/4/5 players so will have 7-8 players who aren't playing but being paid.
