Panic central again??

I can guarantee funds are available and the work continues!!

To be fair, most folk can only go on what's being said in the public domain. Not many people have the inside track.

Ultimately we should judge on actions rather than words. We hear the same thing every window.

Yep. In my book this squad isn't good enough as it is currently to improve on our current league position and break into the top 7. I really hope that has changed by the end of the window.

More loans or permanents?

Whatever is appropriate for a January window. I haven’t stuck my nose in as to the details, just that all options are on the table depending on how the work progresses.

So the manger is telling lies to the press and ultimately the fans

[i_ateallthepies]

A manager can hardly say nothing when asked a reasonable question by a journalist but there are plenty of perfectly valid reasons he may not want to spill the beans immediately, so it is perfectly acceptable and understood by (almost) everyone that he may give a response that buys him some time.

A juvenile interpretation of that is that he is telling lies to the press.

I'll reserve judgement until next Tuesday, and after our performance at Mansfield.

Quite right, that’s just what I said to my future wife before we got married.

Mind you, honeymooning in Mansfield was a mistake.

[StocksArmy]

Basically shopping in poundland, finding Rigoglioso and conceding Tommy Rowe is the best option. Cant see Schofield sticking this out for long and I wouldnt blame him.

[roversdude]

You do know things in Poundland aren’t just a pound now and they sell dearer things lol

My point is the interpretation of what’s being said. Even the thread title has an absolute about it.

Then others have taken that to conclude that cost cutting is proven to be the cause for any action, or inaction, by DS and JC. And yet in his interview he states he’s still looking to add to his squad.

This negativity is just feeding on itself and not doing anyone any good.

[roversdude]

Quite right SM there seems to be a rush to jump on anything that is not 100% positive. Personally I don’t think the DFP help things and are loving putting a negative spin on things

The DFP know what they are doing. It gains attention and that's the business they're in.

So you don't think a headline like "Rovers to splash the cash!!!" would get any attention?

No because nobody would believe it.

[roversdude]

Cost of any transfers would go up

[Jonathan]

If you worked for one of the local media outlets, and had your finger on the pulse with regard to the way our ‘supporters’ react on social media, what kind of headline would you go with? It’s clickbait. They’re doing their job and achieving the intended outcome. Got to respect that whether we like it or not. Every club in the country will have the same issues with the media.

Yes you’re right don’t agree with the way DFP operates, lazy journalism but it obviously works for them

Other than the stuff put out by the club, we 75% rely on DFP for their snippets. The rest made up by radio Sheffield, I’d love it for someone independent to be able to compete with them. We may get a better end product then

[roversdude]

But the DFP rely on information on here more often than not. As said previously click bait

[Canadian Rover]

Let's see what happens by the end of the window and then by the end of the season. In the meantime let's put the Netto FC vs The Happy Clappers on hold and all group together supporting the lads on the pitch.

[DearneValleyRover]

Hope this is not true, although I haven’t seen it reported anywhere

on bbc Sheffield site and free press

To be fair since Hoden left the Free Press they have fed on scraps

Hoden is an a***hole

[NickDRFC]

I don’t have much confidence or optimism for any more incomings given our appalling recruitment in recent years, particularly our late window dealings, but there’s still a week to go so it’s pretty pointless speculating about how good a window it’s been right now. Let’s see where we are a week today.

[Spilsby Red]

Canadian.

[Sammy Chung was King]

You can’t rely on any of those players coming back and staying fit. If they want to be in with a chance of promotion then we need at least another two in. Yes some would need to leave to allow that.

I would try to move one of the strikers on and get another one in. Midfield we need another one. Miller badly needs a partner, hopefully Lavery is that man and not brought in as a bench warmer.

[selby]

  Agreed about DFP reporting, and I would not put the house on a bet we don't sign any more players as all they do is repeat gossip of any type that suits their cause at the time and especially the threads on here that are disparaging to the club.
   It's as old as the hills as the old great manager of Arsenal said in the 1930's "write about Arsenal even if its bad" and now the Free Press do the same thing to sell papers and people jump on the band wagon thinking everything they write is gospel and it's a new way of reporting, and it isn't on both counts.

Thing is now Selby is all web based. Click bait. Website clicks and ad generated revenue - the thirst for news is gone just headlines.

I’ve had previous with him, giving false information just to make him look good in the eyes of those on social media outlets, let’s be honest the social media output from the club isn’t that great which apparently he’s responsible for

[steve@dcfd]

In the last 12 months we have signed 22 players,
14 permanent and 8 loans.
Out of them 5 loans have been and gone
2 permanent players have gone.
1player is on loan
That leaves us with 14 players out of them still at the club at the moment which is 3 loans and 11 permanent. Although one is long term injured and 4 we’ve not seen yet. Big turnover of players. When you think out of the total squad we have 12 players out of contract this summer.

It sounds really bad but I bet there's some clubs who might have had more success, or avoided relegation, who have also had a high turnover of players.

Perhaps now with 18 man matchday squads these days, it's inevitable to a degree.
