As an exiled Miller, living in Bedfordshire (don't laugh), I may pop down to see our "old boys" Hoskins & Williamson in action. (I hope the hot dogs have improved, only my lad could eat them and he is famously devoid of good taste.) As has been mentioned, both are decent players, but impossible to judge how they will perform in the Premiership. Hoskins can be very skillful and works hard for a striker, Williamson never stops running and can govern a game from midfield, but it is a big step up, no doubt about that. I hope you can retain your Premiership status, but if not, I have no worries about either of them performing very well in the Championship.
Try the pasties, they're not bad. it's always exciting when good lower league performers take a step up, are they big fish/small ponds or potential keegans. we'll soon know. wednesday is jermain easter's big chance, i mentioned him early in the season but no-one else seemed to be interested.
Either Miller-fans are exceptionally good people or we paid way too much for the pair. As I have a mate from Rotherham I'd have to say it's the first. It seems like the that was struck between the clubs was a win-win kind of deal. Especially if we send a striker to Millmoor along with Tiggy. And looking at the league 1 table - I have no doubt that the Millers will beat the drop even without Lee and Will.
Dark horse pop down. I must say I am impressed with the conduct of all Millers fans over this move, good luck to you all. Look after Tiggi for us, he is one for the future.
I think the reaction of the majority of the Millers is favourable! Probably, we knew a few years ago that Hoskins was a significant talent - a bit of a Billy Big Boots, but then most decent strikers are over confident, a bit arrogant. When he became a first team regular for the first time this season, it wasn't long before we realised that we would lose him in the January window, along with Williamson. It has come as no surprise. Our manager Alan Knill has brought both these players on this year and now it is time to give your Aidy a chance to take them further! As for overpriced, no I don't think so, but then that very much depends on how they perform in the next season or two. Neither will be guaranteed a place in the Watford team, so they will be out to earn that right.
We will be keeping an eye on Tiggy from here, but let us know what you think of him after a few games?
Due to the lack of Burger Van Saturday I had to endure a Hot Dog with thick coatings of Mustard and ketchup, wasn't too bad.
Chewy I couldn't understand no van outside the Rous, but put my emotions to one side and concentrated on getting one from the van inside. when realising we had sold the franchise to cowboys who are clearly glory-hunting caterers i was horrified and had little option, the Steak and kidney pies were not an option, having just come out of an inferno they were too hot to be eaten until at least Sunday.
Agreed the all steak pies can be a little hot but the cornish pasties are of a suitable temperature for immediate consumption.
