Taylor, Forde, Newell aren't anything. They're average at out and out wide men in a 4 midfield, they're not good enough to make up the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 when it comes to creativity or scoring goals. Prudence would say keep them, better the devil you know and all that as they'll not hide and put the work in. Seems as though the staff have recognised their short comings and have decided enough is enough, but I guess they won't have done so without high confidence in fetching in replacements that are high up on the wanted list?
I dunno how many times I've said this, but we have tried and failed and never replaced Frecks. We so so so need one who can pop up 15-20 yards out and get 15 goals, it will give an end product to Smith's hard work.
I know people on this site are not Forde lovers but remember our only away win at QPR in the last 2 seasons in the Championship watched it on red button last minute he won free kick and put a real quality cross in for the winner he is the only one who can put crosses in plus he will track back part of a squad maybe.
In my opinion, all four wingers are good players in their own way. They were limited last season due to us sometimes having only 30% possession and the fact that virtually every substitution involved them (This I feel is where Warney may have shot himself in the foot with all four?).
In League 1, the possession stats will be doubled overnight and this is where 'footballers' will become invaluable. As mentioned above, all four must have been peeed off at being hauled off week after week with seemingly 'no plan B' plus, the club could have possibly cut their wage by 25-30%?
Other clubs in this league will be all over them to sign, they have proved they can get promoted from it and that will be a very attractive asset to other teams.
Are the millers going to fetch old boys Grant Ward and Tom Adeymi back not for me never go back doesn't work I know Ward looks tempting I think both have there injury problems we have enough crocks Scotty seems confident he can bring in some decent replacements. Looks like that Lamy is signing he might be one for the future sounds like he has plenty of pace hope he can cross show him videos of Pringle now he could cross a ball pleased to see him pick up a medal at Wembley if he signs for Tranmere hope to see him at NYS I for one will give him a round of applause.
Heard Newell has had a much better offer from Donny. Having had a Lge1 budget in the Championship is our chairman now giving us a Lge 2 budget for Lge 1 ?
