That's as bad a stat and reflection on Ismael as any IMO. He's simply incapable of grinding out draws, something which even half-decent sides can do when they're not playing well.

It’s obvious what brings fans in. Winning games.

not sure that going to get people going to games midweek

Granted, as at most clubs, midweek games are generally less well attended than those held 3pm Saturday. The reasons why they are poorly attended now are obvious, but in no way should anyone be accepting that it should 'always' be the case. Imagine someone suggesting that in front of Jack, or indeed any club exec with even a modicum of aspiration.

I’d be tempted to drop Ohashi a bit deeper and give Gueye a start, particularly if we are going to be smashing aimless balls upfield again. Forshaw has to start for me… what a sorry state of affairs.

But if it was £20 all round the stadium we'd be looking at 20,000 + probably.

I'll have a moan when the regulars don't turn up and when tickets are available cheaper but in terms of the Wrexham and Sheff Weds games they deserve everything they get. Which will be about 10k in the home sections. Then they have nerve to moan about lack of crowds and atmosphere FFS, it's enough to make you give up like thousands of overs.

Probably focus on marketing tickets rather than hospitality packages

Yes I know that

We've only had 1 draw in 16 games. It's always win or loss.

He won't get near the first team even if it is in League One. There are at least four, possibly five ahead of him. There was a theory on here when it was previously discussed that he was signed to make up the numbers in training.

Unfortunately you're making the mistake of thinking that anyone cares whether he is any good or not. A cheap keeper that could potentially sit on the bench in league one when the next manufactured relegation happens, win win. You don't even have to register your keepers at that level. If he isnt good enough so what? Neither is 80% of this summers recruitment but nobody at the club bat an eyelid over that.

True but they have seen an opportunity to fleece 7000 Wrexham fans because its an easy hit. It's live on Sky, early kick off and New Years Day. I seriously doubt whether those three have been factored in when they came to this decision. When we play Sheffield Wednesday next week their prices are £33 for an adult, the same as the Blackburn End but if you buy a ticket from Ewood there is a £2 surcharge. On the link below Sheffield Wednesday there is no mention of a surcharge for buying tickets in person which begs the question why Rovers fans who buy paper tickets are being charged more than the away fans who do the same. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2025/november/22/ticket-details--blackburn-v-wednesday/

That says it all really. A young lad making his 2nd appearance. The more experienced players should hang their heads.

Certainly not as a starter. Maybe for the last 15-20 minutes.

Midweek games in a cold winter night will always been poorly attended. With people having means to watch at games at home that will be the option for some. Prices could be cheaper but given the above circumstances not sure that would have much affect. Match day prices do need to be cheaper granted. How could we improve the atmosphere on match days anyway? Any ideas guys?

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down On The Corner

Yep, this. Can't see anything other than a comfortable home win.

Even if he was on £500 a week it's wasted money. He was awful when he first came and didn't get any better and if the coaches (or whoever) couldn't see that then they should pack up. We are stuck with him this season and next. He has no saleable value so to get rid we will have to pay him off. In terms of wasted money it's probably the top of the iceberg but it's all relative.

Suspect what we are seeing is simply the stooges at Ewood, probably just Suhail and his little gang, feeling some pressure about falling short of their financial targets from India. So probably a storm in a teacup, because all that usually happens is that India has to send some more cash over to make up the shortfall and on it goes. Now if India is unwilling or unable to do that then things could get really interesting. But ultimately it's probably just Suhail and Sufi panicking that, amazingly, after what's gone on here over the last few years, that people aren't buying it any more and are walking away/cutting their financial support. Who could have seen that coming? This lot are so clueless they probably don't draw any sort of link between their appalling conduct and decline in income/support.

Piss poor midfield against a hard working team. We'll get run through.

Terrible pricing for the Wrexham game at a time when most are financially stretched...absolute shit for Brains.

Can see us getting a point here. My team Pears Miller McLoughlin Pratt Alebiosu Hedges Baradji Forshaw Montgomery Gudjohnsen Ohashi

They just don’t understand fandom, why did Wrexham bring so many last time? Because it was a big cup tie for them, on a crest of a wave and a new ground for the vast majority to tick off. Of course they won’t bring the same numbers a couple of years later at £35 for a Sky noon kick off on NYD. Cue surprise from the regime when they bring a third of what they had for the previous game.

The one's who don't go don't wanna know unless we are winning every week and then they suddenly forget the Venky hate. The one's who do go don't want to know real boycotts even though most of them hate the owners and those running it and can see the damage done. Catch 22, bizarre club and fans you lot. That's from a Bolton fan looking in from the outside.
