This might sound like an over-reaction....But I don't want to keep watching stuff like that every few weeks. PC has done fantastic for us, but if he can't put any money in to buy some players then he really needs to get someone in who will. One of these seasons we will go down if we carry on like this. We can't keep losing our best players time after time after time. Today was so depressing driving from Hull and back for that. When I saw the bench I thought jesus, how can we change the game, we have let Haynes go and that is the bench, unreal!!! What does Doyle have to do to get a game!!! I'm sick of us having no ambition, we have a great manager and some decent players, who with a bit extra could really do something, but we just seem happy to let it slip away. People flooding out the ground with 15 mins to go just seems to be accepted with oh well never mind. I get the feeling the club think enough points are in the bag and we will cut costs now for next season, but what about the fans, we buy a season ticket not a half season ticket! We aren't safe yet, and on todays showing it could be a struggle to get another 15 points. We should really go for it and try get Hammill back on loan for the next 3 months, or even a month would be great, were badley lacking a winger and him, JOB and Vaz Te would be great, Vaz can also play up front. If we are that hard up why not ask every season ticket holder to pay £1 every home game to go towards Hammills wage if we had to pay half etc, I would pay £2 per match to have him back, I loved watching him and he would be brilliant with our passing game. One last thing, bloody kiss and make up with Doyle, cause he is a good player and should be in the middle with Perkins now Drinkwater has gone!
firstly sorry to be harsh but I think that is an over-reaction but I do get what you're saying. the likelihood is that one of these seasons we probably will go down but that's life, the fact is we can't afford to buy much in the way of players and there is no-one willing to come and be sugar-daddy. Personally I am fine with how we are, preferably in championship but in lg1 if need be, rather than be plaything for someone who didn't tru;ly care about the club and could pull out at any time
PC has been looking to sell the club for some time has he not? What can they do if no-one wants to buy it??
I admire your passion and totally see where you are coming from............I just don't think it's that simple. We do have a very good manager who I believe could take us to the premier league but the board aren't willing to take the risk and invest. They are more concerned about us being a sustainable club which is fair enough, but it makes it very hard for small club like us to compete. I think Cryne would sell in a heart beat, but no one wants to buy!
Not sure Hammill is th answer to our dreams now, don't need a fancy dan winger, need a midfield grafter, hence I agree 100% about Doyle.
The ST holders paying for a players wage is a cracking idea though. Can 5000 of us afford £1 a week? We could maybe get a couple in. All in it together.
We have Perkins for the midfield graft! It's a creative/playmaker midfielder we need along with a winger! I would have Hammil back in a shot!
I don't believe he's overeacting considering we've only won two of our last eight and kept one clean sheet in 16. I believe what Fraser is saying is based on his feelings over a good period of time.
How could anyone not want Hammill back? Honestly some folk make me laugh. I doubt we'd get him back, even on loan, but if we could I'd drive him here myself. We need central midfielders too but anyone who went today will realise we need a winger - we only possess one, arguably two if you count Vaz Te (who's more of a striker in many ways).
JCR no thanks, 1 good game in 4. Howard, maybe if he was fit and not on the piss all the time!!! Certainly need someone to create in the middle right now, and he might want to put himself in the shop window for the summer!!
Unfortunately we need both, and more. Vaz Te plays on the left, he has said it himself prefers to play there, not as striker, we have got JOB for the R when fit but after that it really is just cover. We need a grafter to go with Perkins and a creative player to cover/replace Butts. And a new LB.
The pasts better off where it is, its time to look forward, the truth is the next batch of players to come in to the club will be the same as the last lot Hill brought in, unproven,relatively unheard of, hungry with a point to prove, good with the ball, willing to learn, and most of all grafters willing to give 100% for League 1 wages, **** the players that have moved on thinking they where going to better things, they've had their time in a tarn shirt, its time for someone else to have a go, and we'll end up with better players then them anyway if we leave it up to Hill to bring them in,
we need a buyer to take the club forward,put some Cash into buying players, cannot afford to go down,a drop from a few million to 600 thousand in league revenue in division 1.put this aside clubs have to be financially viable max debt ......of a few million next year and 6 years later debt half of that.coupled with reduced payments from BBC next year for every club.get Barnsley player less than 10p a day..Notts forest make enough money from that to fund buying two players every season. Hill-croft doing a great job with restricted budgets remember its a three year plan to improve the Team,just wish they had a bit of Cash to get some decent players . in. some clubs next year will be suffering from league penalties----maybe points deductions for not being financially viable next season.
Re: How could anyone not want Hammill back? I went to the game and I don't see that as a priority. We need to address the goals conceded URGENTLY. Just my 10c
