Today's team

[redarmy82]

Only 3 players contracted beyond this season.

The honeymoon period is over and the fact we've a squad of loanees, short term contracts and young players with no experience is going to hit us hard.

I’m sure we have seven players contracted beyond the current season? Not that it’s anything like enough. Just saying.

Edit - I see you mean today’s team. Not the entire squad.

I'm talking about in the team today.

[IDM]

And it’s the 11th game, on 12th October..

What of DM concludes he wants to change most of the squad anyway.?

He’s not going to have a lot of choice when “most” of the current squad aren’t here in July.

You’re saying those dates as though it’s too early.

You’d think from what happened to us last season then we’d be giving deadlines out to sign but we haven’t even offered them yet

Have we not?

[dickos1]

No

[vaya]

No

You know this how?

[dickos1]

Because both coppinger and sadlier have said publicly over the last couple of weeks that they haven’t had a contract offer.
And Moore said at the meet the owners that they were hoping to start talks soon

That's two players out of the entire squad and a statement in the past.

You don't actually know we haven't offered any then.

[redarmy82]

To start offering them now would go against how he usually do our business.

[IDM]

Because both coppinger and sadlier have said publicly over the last couple of weeks that they haven’t had a contract offer.

So the club ARE doing something about it.?

Just because these discussions aren’t played out in public doesn’t mean they aren’t happening..

No, am saying those dates as it is not too late..

[vaya]

So no-one appears to know how we're actually progressing with contract negotiations then, either way.

[phil old leake]

DM the honeymoon is over   He needs to start performing and to get this sorted asap

[wilts rover]

If I were the manager or on the board I wouldn't be rushing to give out many deals to those players in today's team

[Spilsby Red]

Start performing. OMG. Didn’t realise we had lost every game

You don't actually know we haven't offered any then.

It’s two players who are our better players that we would want to keep.
Not the entire squad are out of contract.

We always mess about offering contracts we never seem to learn from the mess we’ve been left in the year before

Again, do you know for a fact we haven't started any negotiations or made any contract offers to any of the out-of-contract players in the squad.

Straight yes or no.

Edited to acknowledge that. But it’s actually four of today’s starting line up.

[Spilsby Red]

People do spout crap. If we had this or that striker we would score. Rubbish. There is no given it would happen. I wasn’t there today, sounds like we had an of day. It happens. In majority of the games I have seen we have played great football and been unlucky sometimes. At least generally we are creating chances. But it’s never enough for some people. In some people’s eyes, If we had a striker they would score majority of the chances we create. Absolute rubbish.
A defeat like this happens. As it did a Luton. Get over it. Put it behind us and move on and support the club

Do you know we have?
Sadlier would be the first in line I’d imagine and he hasn’t so you can use your nogging a little bit

I'll happily admit I've no idea either way how the club are getting on with contracts. Then again, I'm not the one saying we haven't.

Third time - do you know for a fact the club hasn't started any negotiations or made offers to any of the out-of-contract players?

[dickos1]

Other than sadlier and copps no.
But I’m premising that as they’re 2 of the most important out of contract players
They’d be the ones getting offered contracts first

[vaya]

Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion.

Just because these discussions aren’t played out in public doesn’t mean they aren’t happening..

These lines do start to bore me after a while. It's great that you have and me to a large extent a great confidence in the club.

I've seen however a lack of forward planning and serious investment in the club from the youth team all the way through to the first team manager for about 3 or 4 seasons now and it is starting to worry me abit.

I think we are v lucky to have DM and think the board have sold him a dream.......... But I'm struggling to see how it can become a reality at this moment in time or even close again for another 2 or 3 seasons without a dose of investment in the team

[AlonzoDrake]

One defeat and pessimists and WUMs appear like swarms of locusts. OK, WUMs are WUMs (and I do feel a bit sorry for them), but for the permanent pessimists who are more a less saying we will quickly drop like a stone to Tier 6 because of failure to invest, then you are really following the wrong club, and you need to walk away from the Keepmoat -- Elland Road and Bramall Lane beckon, you so farewell. (and don't come back when Darren Moore's work in progress begins to mature). Why ever the permanent pessimists can't see that the club are trying to build a firm foundation for a relatively small club with small gates to compete regularly in the Championship, I do not understand. I'm so proud of my Club and what it has recently achieved since near extinction just over 20 years ago.

[dickos1]

I agree with the majority of this although I can’t see with what we’re doing currently that it could be described as trying to build solid foundations.
We’ve lost a number of players in the summer and replaced them with players that won’t be with us next season and we also have the vast majority of the squad having their contracts expire in the summer.
At the moment we’re not looking at all like we have a solid base or any long term plan

No the board and GB are clueless Dickos. We have no plan at all. We are going to let all the contracts run down and let our best players leave for nothing.
I really don’t understand your constant winging Dickos.

Two years ago when we were playing dross under DF you were happy as Larry now we are playing exciting attacking football your anything but happy.
Your hero is at Peterborough go and support them.

You will love it at London road.
