At least 2 players of ours to leave next week possibly on loan, with Oldham and Boston?s names mentioned, I?m guessing Hobson and probably Oldaker or Palmer.
Absolutely no surprise if Oldham have come sniffing round.
And as for Hobson (possibly) out on loan, can only do the lad good to get regular game time under his belt. -

Sam Clucas = muti positional player
These type of players are a must in squads and clubs like ours to cover injuries, suspensions and loss of form.
We are blessed to have a few already who are quality players and if we do add Clucas to the ranks, we will be even stronger -

To be fair we sort of did that already as mentioned by someone else....we played tighter against two League 1 sides aaway with two wins and two clean sheets then took a half decent Championship side all the way before finally conceding in the last 10/15mins.
You are correct.
But it needs to be on a consistent level.
And what a great thing to have in the tactical armoury being able the play both too. -

Correct. Those suggesting we need virtually an entirely new defence are missing the point that PC is a terrific manager who is capable of adapting his tactics if necessary. Yes, in most NL games we played on the front foot, pressing high, because our manager knew that our firepower up front could more than compensate for the goals we conceded by being caught on the break. He didn't play like that in our FA Cup matches against better opposition; we held our defensive shape more, didn't press as high, and achieved excellent results v Orient and Portsmouth, and very nearly pulled off a big shock against Watford. PC is a clever manager who can adapt to different situations; of course he will seek to strengthen his squad in all areas going up a league, but he will also adjust his tactics to combat whichever opponent he is facing.
I kinda (eventually) came to that conclusion.
That they are decent defenders but playing to the managers set of tactics.
The proof will be in tbe pudding if a different set of tactics can be implemented without us shipping goals -

Don?t see any problem with him coming back , let?s face it Cook normally always picks players he has managed, he was in league above last time and was one of the best in that league and then ended up in the prem, would be a massive signing, yes the average age is slightly worrying but it?s a quality signing, anybody over 30 should only be on a 2 year imo
If he's capable of playing a decent chunk of Rotherham's season in the Championship, their fans saying he was a top performer in that team leagues above and we don't give him a ridiculous contract, then we will be doing good business.
