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?

Ismael said post game it was tactically and Cantwell came on for him

For me last night was an absolute "must win" game which yet again we failed to convert. The only positive thing was that (on TV at least) the pitch looked absolutely fine. If it's true what Mike Graham said on here yesterday that we hired some machinery from Lancs Cricket Club then it did it's job admirably and it's what we should have done after the Ipswich game. Should keep us going until we can sort it permanently.

Hate the club under this Gestede/Pasha stewardship but strangely encouraged by some of the new players. A team with Cantwell, Baradji, Gudjohnsen, Mori, Ohashi and Tronstad is a team should be exciting - yet it's not ('ish). The problem as I see it is that we have made a wall of good bricks but no cement, we're far too easy to push over. Yet getting these guys on the ball fills me with more optimism than say the Gallaghers and Dolans of this world that we had in previous seasons (yes I know Dolans doing OK this year). Things clearly haven't clicked and I'm getting tired of "mañana, mañana, always mañana". The cement was thrown out in the close season (now doing its work in Derby and Wrexham) to be replaced by flour and water paste. Stupid, hubristic, amateurish arrogance by you know who. Keeping the likes of Travis, Baath and Hyam and ADDING the new guys - I think we'd be in a totally different place by now. After 15 years I shouldn't be surprised by the arrogant incompetence but I still am. What could have been. We're going to be lucky to stay up.

So how many signings in January is realistic is what my original question was which you didn't answer? If it wasn't realistic when you factor in that some signings have only been here less 6 months. MGP took 6 months to get going and his first real impact from memory was Cardiff away in FA cup in January

If you read the post properly and used common sense, it was clear he meant Alebiosu as he mentions Bardji further down in the post. I just knew you would try and pick him up on it though.

we knew we would have to wait to see the player when he had surgery but its a signing Ismael wanted. Sometimes you have to made a brave call. Lets see what we get. who are looking at internally Gestede? did he sign every player or was it part of team decision between Ismael, Gestede, Owen and Cairney? I suspect the latter to be honest
