No doubt that our transfer policy (if we’ve ever had one) has been disastrous for decades, but there’d have been uproar had we sold Lees. Just as there was regarding the possible move of Forestieri. There’s a mindset at Wednesday, amongst the fans as much as anyone inside the club, that needs to change. I get one you mean but wouldn’t have been at uproar from me about Forestieri ( and I proper loved him) or lees. We need to start selling at a high price. Hence we’re in the mess we’ve been in in last 2 years or so ( selling Hillsboro for one) how many times ( not just under DC) have we had players been linked with clubs for big money and left for nowt? all these left for nothing or very very little when either been touted at big money or cost us big wages/money Fletcher Forestieri Reach Hooper Rhodes just to name a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Rhodes was obviously the biggest failure. Lees, aside from maybe the final season had largely been very good. It shows he’s not shit that he’s doing a good job in the Championship now. Said it before many times, those first 2 seasons we had him, he was fantastic. And even after then for the vast majority of the time he was very reliable. He suffered without Loovens, though too Edited April 12 by HoylandOwl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Certainly puts MK Dons a bit more in their own hands.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The permutations in League 1 look insane with the number of games to be played between the top 8 teams, counting in Oxford still Wigan will do enough to get automatic promotion. Whilst not favourites in any way Plymouth if they got results in their last games could still have a shout Theoretically if we beat MK Dons and our game in hand then be only 4 points behind. Obviously would need a swing in our favour before that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) I'm hoping Plymouth can win at Wycombe on Saturday a) bc it does us a favour and b) it will put Roveram under even more pressure. obviously beating MK Dons would be fantastic but I feel we are at best going to get a draw. If Wycombe draw or lose Saturday would be a good outcome. Edited April 12 by Tank_Owl2,0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M42Owl Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Is it too fanciful to see Rotherham lose at home to Ipswich and away to Burton, Sunderland and Gillingham? A home game to Oxford seems their best chance of points. I’m hoping for Rotherham to finish 7th, with Plymouth 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys 12th Pint Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Not usually one for watching the Champions League but last 2 nights have been fantastic with the Chelsea and City games.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 That was a completely mad last 15 minutes, where it actually worked against Madrid. I think I would be annoyed if a fan of theirs, whilst they have had success as a dogs of War team, they made City look very average in that 2nd half playing football not shithousing. Not comparing quality wise but we have faced League 1 equivalents where you just think play football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising though The stuff at the end was wholly caused by Man City. I'm a firm believer in that, if you're really injured, you don't / can't roll. Yes, Foden was brushed by Felipe and, yes, that probably warranted a second yellow (which he duly received). However, Foden managed to roll a couple of yards off the pitch before miraculously twisting his body round to roll back onto it. I don't blame Savic for picking him up and trying to shove him back off. I would've done the same. Cheating little bastard. Then we have Jack Grealish, who obviously swore at Savic (why else would BT scramble his mouth in the replays?). The defender responded by pulling his hair. Quite right. Again, I would've done the same. Then we have the creepy looking 'goalkeeper' who successfully managed to con everyone into believing he was injured. Perhaps someone came within a yard of one of his tattoos? None of this was condemned by the pundits in the BT studio. Indeed, the racist, forgetful junkie described Foden's actions as "cute". Remind me why he's still in a job. I enjoy shithousery. I'm all for digs in the ribs, sly kicks, etc., but I draw the line at diving, cheating and, worst of all (although thankfully it's extremely rare and didn't occur last night), spitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most of what you say here, especially the bit I’ve highlighted, but there was an example earlier in the game that disproves this. Walker went down in an innocuous challenge and managed to roll umpteen times - almost rolling off the pitch (“get up you twat. Clearly not injured”). He had treatment, went off the pitch, came back on, (“I knew it. Not injured at all”). Minutes later went down injured again, substituted, (“maybe injured after all”). Replays showed him catching his standing foot as he went to clear the ball. Injured, but capable of rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
