The only ridiculous thing about this situation is that we haven't brought anyone in yet. Getting rid of Ward has to have been one of the easiest decisions ever made at Town. We've probably set him up for life and he gave us nothing in return.

Where are all the Wardy gobshite knockers now then? Where are you, where are you? I am not hearing you? I was a fan of Ward and was disappointed we got rid of him but you don't half make it hard to argue his case.

Yes your right, player of the year so far so why the statistical analysis? Ward played up front half the time so it makes statistical comparison difficult anyway. And yes Hammill was a v good winger before he got injured....but whats your point? Drop/get rid of the best player of the season because you don't like his stats? Point 1. Goals win games. Ward / Hammill score /create more than Scannell. As I put above, that's not to say you can't judge by looking beyond the stats - accept that, Scannell has improved remarkebly, stretches teams etc. Point 2. Stats do matter though - they both contributed, not always appreciated by Town fans - now those options in the squad aren't there. OK then yeah we should have got rid of this seasons best player. Have you ever thought about the fact that this season, Sean Scannell has worked his bollocks off to get back and defend for the team? Neither is he soft as shit like Hammill and Ward I'm surprised the blokes got any energy to get forward and do anything Of course that won't show in your stats will it..

Players who have gone have gone. Its done. It's finished. I'd rather concentrate on those that are here. Whatever your opinion on Ward (good or bad), it is unlikely he would have made much of an impact today. The team were poor almost to a man and considering the ineptitude of the performance I see little reason to think Ward (or Stead or Hammill for that matter) would have improved it much, or at all.
For me the main reason for the poor performance was an unnecessarily defensive mindset by the manager, an unbalanced midfield, and poor individual performances from players who have proved themselves much better in the past. Nothing to do with letting Ward and others leave the club.

We might score more goals if we didn't play such crap long ball football. The problem today was with tactics as much as personnel. I don't think Ward would have scored many today feeding off a succession of long punts up the pitch.

Bunn plays in Ward's position not Scanz & has 8 goals already.. Ward scored 10 all season, usually when he covered upfront, so what point are you trying to make?

Read it again- who said anything about getting rid of Scannell or just basing things on stats. As I put above and you chose to ignore and instead you've brought back to my point - the personal insults that Ward / Hammill receive - soft as shit? Scannell is hardly the strongest - ducked out of two challenges today, but its not about him, he has worked hard, his defensive work has improved an awful lot. I don't deny that one second - he's like a different player. But again, its not about him - its about us missing Ward / Hammill, or the options. Soft as shit if you like, but they gave us attacking options that delivered, not always, not enough perhaps but without both we haven't got an option instead of them that Powell is willing to use.

Getting rid of Ward was a mistake. Stupid to get rid of a player who contributed so much last season without a replacement in mind. I have no faith in Powell in the transfer market.

Sorry it sounded as though you were insinuating you would have preferred Scannell to have been moved on rather than Ward or Hammill You mention options, well Lolley and Majewski were decent options in my opinion...Powell obviously didn't agree Agree we need players, but those two were not the answer today (Hammill maybe 18 months ago, when I really rated him). As you can gather, I don't rate Ward, but I agree he would have been a better striker option than anyone else today once Wells went off. Right decision to get rid I think, yet criminal not to replace him and I think the same can be said about Stead.

We dont miss hammill one jot....done absolutely bugger all for nearly 12m. Ward is hardly missed either.....scored 10 incl 3 on the final day in a meaningless game but was hardly impressive consistently was he? Yes we need options, and perhaps we should have them by now, but dont confuse missing players with missing those who have been used regularly and been found wanting over the last few years.

You couldn't make it up could you, Stead, Ward/Hammil combination. Replaced by Edgar Jesus....i swear some folks just want to criticise and get off on having a pop. How long was ward mediocre for? Would hammill play ahead of scannell? Did steady ever look up to the championship level?! Yes its a really poor day and we are all gutted......but lets put things into context. We are clearing the decks of players who have barely been able to keep us out of the relegation zone for the last 2 yrs........do you really think ward and hammill would have offered much more today?! If you do then i give up....... Well said

If Ward & Hammill are so good then how come they've barely played 30 mins between them for Rotherham in their last 2 games?

Watto,
Scannell is a fantastic player mate I love him, problem being where's the finish product, no finishing product. Lard arse scored goals and you know what, that's what the game is all about. Steady got the winner last time.
You clear your decks at the end of a season not half way through it. Who's this Edgar joker, I don't like him, won't like him, not the sort of player I would have brought to our great club.
Now with injuries, and drawing a blank so far on good footballers coming in, the clear out is starting to look rather silly, but hey ho, let's see how we go.

Yes we need options, and perhaps we should have them by now, but dont confuse missing players with missing those who have been used regularly and been found wanting over the last few years. 6th top championship assists 2013/14 - Adam Hamill. When you say 12 months you mean the last 3 of last season when yes, like the rest of the team, he wasn't as on his game. By that reckoning we'd have got rid of em all! To put into context I felt it was time for ward to move on, Hammill I'd have kept. But the point I'm making is they're gone, we don't have any options he trusts He played Hammill in one game over any of the other options lets not forget when he could Madjweski, Lolley he clearly doesn't rate - and my point is if he doesn't we need to address.

I mean from xmas last year - more than 12m. Wasnt on his game?! Why?! Am sorry but he deserves no sympathy..........was given a massive last chance opportunity by dean and mark robins and for a short time delivered. True to form however rumours about his personal life grew and he became the frustrating figure he has been for most of his time with us......and wolves.....and barnsley. Just not a lad you can count on to deliver imho. Cant disagree that powells usage of both lolley and majewski has bordered on unfathomable........especially when you add his usage of poyet, edgar and goburn into the mix.

Bunn has done more in a town shirt in half a season than Ward's done in 3 & a half years.. He'd been keeping Ward out of the side all season.. Ward had potential & never lived up to it, constantly running down blind alleys, not tracking back, missing gobbers.. He was getting dropped in league 1 for not doing his job properly.. Evans has even benched him for Rotherham in the last 2 games after a poor debut.. He showed what he can do in some games but nowhere near enough to fulfil his early potential.. He was never a guaranteed starter under his 5 managers at town because he was infuriatingly inconsistent.. £1m in league 1 & you should be the 1st name on the team sheet, unfortunately he never was.
