    I know they won't be costing us a fortune but even so it doesn't fit in with our supposedly prudent mentality.

    I can understand McCourt, getting him up to match fitness, and Cofie seeing if he's worth developing, the but first two, does seem a little odd. Think fan pressure got Hassell a new contract, but it seems pointless if he's not even going to be in the squad.

    I would say only one of them is pointless

    3 of them will feature this season

    I hope you're right...the only thing that worries me is whether Bobbys legs have gone..he had a horror show at Frickley

    That lot's got to be costing us 10K a week surely - £520,000 a year!?

    In fairness, we are looking to ship Cofie out on loan (I think he deserves a chance here if I'm honest)
    It's quite apparent that Bobby's not here to play football
    McCourt should get up to speed soon
    And Jim McNulty is a good back-up/utility player

    The Bobby thing is strange - for me he deserved a contract on merit, but then for him to be nowhere near the first team is a bit pathetic. Signing three defenders and still apparently on the look out for more full backs makes me think we probably won't see him play more than a cameo at the end of the season.

    Our problems aren't really in defence, apart from playing O'Brien at right back, it's the midfield - the player combinations in there are just asking for trouble.

    Dagnall, as much as I admire the guy, has had his day. We might as well be playing Rose or Cofie ahead of him - it gives them more experience and they are just as likely, if not more likely, to grab a goal. Rose's minutes to goals ratio is massively more superior than Dagnall's.

    Hassell has been injured, and will get games this season

    He was immense last season. His best season for us

    I really don't think he has Tyrone.. unless you have some inside info? Any time Flicker has been asked about the injury list, not once has Hassell been mentioned. In fact I'm not sure I've heard Flicker say the words 'Bobby' or 'Hassell' all season.

    All the Radio Sheff interviewers are all **** scared to ask now as well - they should grow a pair and at least ask what Bobby's up to.
