Also Hoilett, while Etheridge and NML have kicked on no end.

I really just don't understand why Tan & Co can't grow a pair of bollocks and open the chequebook whilst we can? Or is it that they are anticipating some sort of embargo in the future and now won't spend much?
Show some ambition and players will come. I'm not being funny, Vaulks might turn out to be a gem, but he and Flint are hardly saying to the other teams in the league and potential targets "look at us, we mean business". They're just really safe signings.
They were never going to be players who'd play in a promoted team until they played for Warnock.
I'm not one for painting warnock is a messiah like many but he has definitely have players play for him at a standard they'd never played at before or since. He definitely raises the cielings for otherwise average players.
Look how he got that doomed Rotherham side playing.
The poster I was responding to earlier appeared to argue that Vassell wasn't an unproven Championship player. I thought that he'd played 23 games and scored 1 solitary goal. You've now informed me that he's only played about 7-8 games worth of minutes in the division, which is far worse than I'd realised.
It just occurred to me that we shouldn't be in a position where we are looking at unproven or proven to not be good enough players at this level. We've just been relegated from the Premier League. If we can't attract/are not looking to sign proven Championship strikers as a bare minimum, then there's something seriously wrong at the club.
Perhaps someone should tell the scouts that a striker is meant to score goals.
I'd struggle to see us making the play offs if this is the squad we are going with. We are desperate for 2 centre midfield players. Especially one who can pick a pass.
