I thought Frecklington was a coach at Rotherham’s youth side now whilst playing for Dave Frecklington at Frickley?

Kovacs mid-30's and Tomlinson only just 30 are the stand-out surprises this week.

What a wet lettuce Diagne was. Can't believe we gave him a two-year deal (or a deal at all). Terrible.

Better defender than Aaron Brown, he used to bottle 80/20 never mind 50/50!

His Rotherham role is more honorary position within their academy school coming in occasionally to advise their juniors rather than actually coach the football side. The Frickley thing was rumoured a few weeks back but can't say I've seen anything concrete on that

I must be getting old Roger Holmes my all time favourite been 78 on Wednesday, remember been at Crewe when Boulton broke his leg, Thommo went in goal we had a player sent off and still won 3-0 I realised what a good team we had that day.
