Just had my attention drawn to the latest Guardian football podcast. They discuss Darren Moore leaving Doncaster to join us. The consensus was that he’d made a huge mistake as we're such a mess. But what really was interesting was a story that we’d approached a manager before appointing Pulis. He turned us down and our response was “ok, but do you know of any strikers or left-backs we could sign”.

Because we had season tickets to shift I guess.

Makes you wonder why we brought in George Boyd as wallace's competition for wide right. 32 next week and here for two years - but needs replacing immediately.

Brian Laws was quite scathing about Boyd's performance on the Radio Sheffield commentary. Picked him out specifically for criticism.

Another 30 odd year old in the twilight of his career? I bloody hope not.

If you really think that whoever is responsible for our recruitment can bring in a quality left-winger then you haven't been paying attention for the last two years. We need to keep hold of all of our better players, because the club isn't capable of bringing in better with the money we'd get.

Without FF and Lee, who looks to be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, we'd look like a ordinary mid-table side. in my humble opinion.

A few mill for a 31 year old league one player?? I bloody hope not.

Not without a centre half on it.

Someone on owlsonline suggesting we have had a bid accepted. Another midfielder though. Not sure we need one.

You're dead right. Youngsters like Westwood, Loovens and Pudil will benefit from having an older head back there helping them out.

Olifinjana, McPhail, Bothroyd, Taylor-Fletcher? You mean players in their 30s who played at the highest level but were deemed surplus to requirements by their previous clubs.

32 AND Scottish. So ticks all our boxes.

A scapegoat is an individual who takes the blame for others. if you pick out more than one player who was garbage it's not scapegoating.
