Before all the bile starts to be spewed out about the signing of Michael Smith, let's give the guy a chance.
He's a Miller now like it or not so let's get behind him. after all he didn't do so bad in his spell with Swindon a while back when lots of clubs had him on their radar. The lad has probably lost his way a bit in recent times but who knows s he may resurrect his career with us. After all it wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
Remember Kieron Agard he had hardly pulled any trees up elsewhere when signing for us. Also remember that Ipswich fans were saying the same things about Keifer Moore that the Bury fans are saying about Smith.
Welcome to the Miller's Michael and the best of luck in your endeavours on our behalf.

A bit unfair that Ex.

Tavs and Dicko were loan players. Agard and Pringle were going nowhere until they came here. We went up by finishing fourth in league one after being fifth or sixth most of the season and taking momentum into the play-offs and getting a bit lucky at the right time. We are currently seventh in the same division half way through the season. It felt better last time we were in league one because we had come up from the league below. This time it doesn't feel so good because we have got used to seeing better football and have come down to this league. But the difference between this side and that promotion side isn't that great.

I agree with Towd Codger. Nobody rated Agard at first. Revell had many critics. Not many people thought Moore was going to be any good. Until recently people were saying that Ball wasn't 'a Rotherham-type player' now he is scoring every week.

Michael Smith may not be a 'big signing' but he has done well in this division before and he might do well again. The reality is that unless we sell someone for a fortune (nobody fits the bill) we have to build what we can to get some momentum going again. At least we haven't got a 33 year old has been on a last pay day.

I am critical of some of what we do, but on this signing at least give the lad a chance. I thought when he came on for Bury at NYS early in the season he made a real difference for them. He is a handful and holds the ball up well. He has scored goals before and he could again in the right side. He is a good age. Good luck to him. If it clicks for him he might do well for us.

Likewise going to give Smith a chance and he links up with ball Just need a midfielder on a permanent deal now or in summer Frecks will be a massive hole to fill unfortunately the only player who is possibly capable of that is TOWELL and he isn't ours so we definitely need to sign him at least We also need a potter replacement

If wood goes we will light in defense don't need a loan replacement for him either as we have two defenders of ours on loan so get dom ball back asap give him rest of season in defense playing so we can see  or not see what warne sees

 yes lets see how smith is and see what we bring in to replace frecks

 

signing towell now is a priority in my opinion

Vaulks would extend his contract. Forde is under contract for another season after this, works hard but not a winger so let him run his contract out. Taylor, same. Newell would get shut now, gone backwards. Who are actually our players can't think of any apart from Vaulks I would extend there contracts only JCH but Warney won't play him. Price, Bray & Newell can go now.

I don't think one major player will improve us...the recent results that our manager recieved the MOM were poor matches - Blackburn being the best team we faced.

I'm afraid mediocre performances are being rewarded due to poor opposition - and it's the performances that folk are whinging about.

It's the level of "football" we have landed in.

jack payne has been recalled from loan by Huddersfield attacking midfielder

we have a bid in for a attacking midfielder coincidence do we think
