It's a loan with Brighton paying all the wages that's why.

I expect to see Toth, Atcheson, O’Riordan, Cashin, Pratt, De Neve, Montgomery, TGH, Henriksson, a new striker and the Academy lads. I’d be shocked to see Miller, McLoughlin, Sonny, Baradji, Cantwell and O’hashi.

Good work My guess is that they will de-register Gueye now for Cashin, then look to offload Gueye, and Pickering freeing a slot for a striker. Then de-register Hedges if the news is really bad, and sign a LWB. We’re still one short, the ones who look most at risk to be de-registered are Carter and Kargbo. Unless they sell Alebiosu. Cashin looks a really solid signing on paper. Hasn’t had a great time a Brum but was class at Derby and got his big move. Signing him and O’riordan takes the pressure off the young lads (Pratt and Atcheson), and the returning Wharton, Carter etc. The one positive thing about Ismaels rambling is that he’s insistent on players being Uk based, and ready to go. 3/4 of those in addition to what we have will make a huge difference. I would be tempted to give McLoughlin a little break as he’s looked leggy. O’riordan looked good when he came on against Charlton and he’s a beast too.

Indeed. It turned out alright for those two although the Guardian did a take the piss piece on Wilcox today. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jan/06/ruben-amorim-manchester-united-jason-wilcox?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

You mean 15 out of the last 15.

@Herbie6590

I remain on the fence about the actual recruitment team (as distinct from the brass above them). Theres been some dross, but some decent finds in there too and its pretty hard to play poker when every hand you get dealt is 2 8 off suit.

Crawley out first over - and I hope that's his last innings for England Innings defeat on the cards?

What a completely ridiculous childish thing to post. Fucking embarrassing. If you're not prepared to try and join in with taking action against the scum that own the club then that makes you complicit. Stop being part of the problem and help to try and be part of the solution.

In reference to the 70's and 80's Ronnie Clayton said it was "just a social club". It seems like that's more the case now as back then people may not have stood for the endless disrespect. There would have been more violence that's for sure even if Ewood wasn't near the top of dangerous grounds. Back then it wouldn't have just been a snowball. No idea where it will be (probably not at Ewood) but one day an owner (or their stooges) are going to push the wrong person too far. There are too many leeches in football and the day of reckoning is coming for at least one of them.

Forest win in the last few minutes, West Ham 7 points adrift now I can’t see how Nuno survives. Burnley 9 points adrift but with a game in hand tomorrow at home to United

He suggested the crowd holding up red cards I think. I've already suggested something similar to Glen with yellow cards, my reasoning being purely on the basis any messaging would show up better. Doubtful if many who wouldn't boycott in the first place would be prepared to get involved in that I'd have thought.

I explained it in a reply to TugaysMarlboro, there are 2 posts

Imo you're making the mistake of thinking that the Coalition have to win the hearts and minds of nearly everyone. That's not the objective. The objective is to create enough of a stir to persuade the owners to sell. As we've seen from chaddy's comments on here, there is no "common ground" with a number of supporters and quite a lot also seem quite happy to attend games for the social experience and dont seem particularly worried about the state of the Club, whether we win or lose or whether we get promoted or relegated. You're never going to persuade the majority of those fans to boycott either. That doesn't mean the Coalition is wrong to call for a boycott. To my mind the call for a boycott is a perfectly sensible first step. You're rarely going to achieve complete unanimity throughout the fan base.

A visual show of frustration? Could you elaborate please? What exactly would it be and how would you spread the message?

Don't try to turn this on its head, we both know how this goes.

I've replied to TugaysMarlboro on p16 with the suggestion.

Oh really? What an honour to be born 5 years later lol

No secret that things had gone tits up by the time JDT left, but then Eustace galvanised the team. Dressing room totally different now, but don’t think that’s our biggest concern atm.

Ive not seen much to suggest that people are writing him off.

His style of play is standing on the edge of the area watching his man run past him? He's excellent on the ball and reads the game so well that he's actually a darn good defensive player too. This seemed to be something else - like his head just wasn't in the game at all.

The majority of people's opinions are the same. Do you want the best for the club? Yes Are you happy with the decline of the last 15 years? No Are you happy with the owners? No Have the owners maintained the clubs pride and kept us competitive? No Have the owners failed at running a Premiership football club Yes Will you be willing to stay home for 1 game in protest of the poor ownership? You say no? There's no logic

That was his last professional game apparently.

Written off before hes started ? I like that, it usually means they do well, if he has a Van Hecke style impact we're ok.

There's a few around me in the Jack Walker that don't live local anymore, so getting to Ewood for 7:45pm on a random Tuesday just isn't possible for them.
