Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Lovely to have you back, Ghost. I was thinking this morning that as it stands, we have four midfielders next season - Sheehan, Thomo, Dempsey and Morley. I assume we'll go for Paris if possible, but that still leaves space for one more. Could be Byers. Just hope we don't get... wait for it... Byers ...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
He'd have 'proven himself' unable to get out of this division... not sure it would create a queue at the door.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
As I said the other week, it will be interesting to see if we strengthen the back three this summer (whichever division). It would have to be a big upgrade – you'd assume Santos is a shoo-in, Johnston is back, Toal seems popular with the manager. Then Jones is a good squad member, Iredale offers cov...

Our lads out of contract in summer: Nat Ogbeta Zac Ashworth Declan John Jon Dadi Bodvarsson Cameron Jerome interestingly JDB's new contract had a year extension triggerable by appearances, although it was never made clear how many. He made 46 appearances in all comps (18 starts), 36 in the league (1...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Could be some really exciting signings made this summer! Yeah, you'd hope so. Not quite sure where though. I think it might be about adding dashes of quality where available rather than saying, for instance, "a No.10". Not sure any of the exciting players are mentioned above like, either, but as I ...

Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Obvz we don't yet know what division we're in, but for most of the Football League the games are over and the released/retained lists are coming out. We'll need some players this summer, and their names might first appear omn here - who'd have linked us with Josh Dacres-Cogley? Anyway... ROTHERHAM r...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Yeah, but Posh rested a load as we were up next...edit: think that was the game they made 8 changes? No, that was another game a bit later in the season, mate. Curious though, Oxford. As I say, after that 5-0 walloping at Bolton , Buckingham tweaked his midfield (from "two 6s and an 8" to "a 6 and ...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
I wouldn't say they've been "good". Dogged. Disciplined. Determined. Their entire game plan was "keep Posh out". It's worked, and fair play to them. Different proposition in the final. We've got to get players like Maghoma unlocking that defence, get Williams/Ogbeta and JDC round the outside and ge...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Wow, didn't expect that. Gonna have to be on it. Can't underestimate them. Clearly they're not a bad team but I'd still rather face them than Posh – who did indeed replicate our last-season shape of winning the cup then blowing the play-offs. Posh have more players who can hurt us. Oxford more syst...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs TBC. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
That should have been it. Oxford look a totally different side to the one we battered 5-0. I know what you mean but they're not, really. Buckingham had been playing a 4-2-3-1 but he's tweaked that to more of a 4-3-3 - basically inverted the midfield triangle from "two behind one" to "one behind two...

They have more matchwinners but they haven't shown up.
Only takes a second though...

Sky reveal more details. Before the season starts they'll announce their TV picks from August to the FA Cup Third Round weekend. By November they'll announce the Jan-March picks, then shorter notice thereafter while they see where the stories are. They say they're doing this to minimise fan disrupti...

Re: The Nostradamus file....
Interesting topic. Depends which Rotherham. • In 2017 they ended a three-year second-tier spell with an awful season - 23pts (28 below safety!) under three managers (Stubbs, Jackett and Warne). That's not what we want. • Warne bounced them straight back up and in 2019 they went down after the penult...
