Yea he's probably touched the ball about 30 times but he could come good for us and ypur right looks big and strong in the air. Hopefully he can push on for us and turn out to be useful

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it of course. Yet here we are sat in 20th. So obviously something is going wrong somewhere.

There is no way they spent around 10 million pull your head out of the clouds i think the next accounts will tell a truer picture of around half that spent. Around 10 million in fees maybe committed over time including various add ons but not spent.

Im not going to get drawn into alleged technical differences between central midfielders but if we needed a back up "number 6" or direct Tronstad replacement and don't have one perhaps we should have signed one? I wasn't even referring to Henriksson, we signed Forshaw, Tavares, Baradji and TGH in summer.

I hope you are right but 5-7k is still a lot of people I see Bristol rovers play at the mem and they are now relegated yet still get 6k each game at home Tues sat. It’s a lot of people it’s astonishing that we have fallen so low but in reality for it to be noticeable 7k turning up doesn’t seem to raise an eyebrow with the media

The imbalanced in the summer is in 2 areas which is right wing back and centre back areas. centre midfielder areas we are well stick but injuries has had impact. But we also need to factor in moving to 3-5-2 formation has improved results. We spend around 10m this summer and reinvest money from Sales. How we choose transfer targets is question people will continue to ask. some signings will be good and they get praise and other won't and they get criticise for

That's the horrible reality for most of us who dont have our Heads in the Sand. A few away losses and we fall like a Stone.Our survival on a Razors edge.

Im not sure Id agree, there were so few on last night it was really noticeable. I think we're nearing the stage, if not already at it, where there's already an unofficial boycott by virtue of people having voted with their feet. Without the need for an official boycott to be called. Whether or not it was a one off reaction to the Wednesday postponement we'll have to wait and see but either way I think they'll be shocked at ST renewal figures next season.

Not been seen at the last few games.

How long has he been hiding out there, do we know?

Hopefully hes spat his dummy and run off but probably just swanning around over there on holiday.

Last season we had travis and tronstad with Buckley on the bench and rarely used If people can’t see the downgrade of our squad due to the owners then they deserve to waste their money and go to the ground and watch us struggle

Makes you wonder eh...has he been raked over the Coals? So feckin well do hope so.

How can I possibly answer that though. Under this regime, probably none, maybe at a push one or two. But we should try to fix as many of those glaring holes as we possibly can. Lets hope that Henriksson, De Neve, Tavares etc are actually not absolutely terrible but in fact turn out to be brilliant for us. Dont hold your breath on that though.

Tronstad said in Norwegian press during a podcast in the summer he was going back Norway next summer for Family reasons

No Rev, different midfielders have different roles in midfielder. You don't rated Tronstad. He is defensive midfielder where has Henriksson isn't centre midfielder but number 10. Baradji is a number 8 box to box midfielder. Is Tavares a natural number 6 defensive midfielder player?

Some might call it brave, some might see it as a luxury couldnt afford. If Tavares and Henriksson werent so bad and if TGH wasnt at best bang average then it might not be such an issue. Well whatever, pedantics aside. The main reason for how weak, thin and imbalanced our squad is self inflicted. It always comes back to the owners. But notably, whoever is directly involved in choosing transfers is mainly to blame. Hence why I am not just following the narrative of misfortune. There obviously will be some hard luck with injuries but its not the main reason our squad is so poor and imbalanced.

I mean, I agree with Ismael that had Tronstad and Cantwell been fit all season that we'd likely be a few points better off. But let's not forget that the club are seemingly content with letting the former leave on a free at the end of the season (not to mention they'd no doubt be keen to get Cantwell and his wages out of the door too at the first opportunity). What then? Another Gardner-Hickman calibre of player to come in for Tronstad? If we somehow survive this season we certainly won't next.

Wolves are just a poor team. Rob Edwards has a huge job there to turn the club and make them into promotion challenges next season. I suspect we see that start in terms of signings in and out.

If only he'd stay there for good.

If we are putting our strongest 11 together when all fit (appreciate in reality that rarely happens) there’s an argument as many as 7 were missing last night from the starting team. That’s; Toth, Wharton, Carter, Hedges, Tronstad, Cantwell and Baradji. I dont care who you are but that amount of disruption is going to have a huge impact on performance. I’m hoping we are close to seeing a midfield 3 of Tronstad, Cantwell and Baradji. A mix of solidity, strength, skill and flair. Have them playing consistently we will be so much better for it. Injuries are part and part of the game I get it, but we have been totally decimated this season. Very difficult to judge this team without actually seeing them play together. We certainly had the chances to win the game last night. Good save from TGH but Ohashi has to do better; poor miss. Let’s go to Pompey and get the win…..Ever the optimist….

I am amazed that even 5-7k actually turned up last night!! A cold wet Tues to watch us struggle against Oxford - there are some truly die hard fans of ours. If they would protest as well and show the media that they aren’t coming to the ground but the fact that many even turned up last night doesn’t give me much hope that we can muster up enough of a walk out to attract media attention against the scumbags

Stop splitting hairs.

wrong here Mark. quite a mixed up that one

are all those 3 signings can play the number 6 defensive midfielder role?
