Tronstad had a fews weeks out in January/February too, but he also came off the bench in Ismaels first game, and then started all but one of the games for the rest of the season. VI had our strongest squad available for the run in last season (barring Pickering and Carter) that had been in the top 6 pretty much all way through the season so far, and then destroyed any play off hopes within two weeks of being appointed. Sure, there are much bigger problems than him at the club, but he has been an absolute disaster from day one.

Ohashi was back from injury for VI's first game. Came off the bench, and then started every game for the rest of the season afterwards. Agree with the rest though, although I do think he's a very poor manager regardless.

We will also have the 3 new signings to slot in the side too. Won't we?

Could put Pickering or Riberio in at left centre back to give Pratt a breather maybe.

Fair point on the tickets being valid for the abandoned game, but that could have been said about any game you targeted though regarding discounted ticket prices. Also the Watford game was included in the recent 4 game bundle they did, not that we probably sold many of them but if we did those people would already have tickets for that one too. The only Saturday 3pm in the bundle. The details and date set for the rearranged game were actually released before the open letter was released to the public too. Like I said, I'm behind it and truly hope it works, I personally just think the game targeted is a bit of an own goal. Let's see.

Completely agree, if anyone else is interested we have no chance. If somehow we stumbled on a decent top half league one player that nobody else wanted though, if we offered him more cash than he was currently being paid, I believe they would be here like a shot. Guaranteed half a season playing at a higher level on more money, then if you do well you can be sold again in the summer, or you stay playing at the level you were playing at anyway on a better wage.

Money talks. If we can offer better wages than a players current club in league one(probably doubtful with some these days though) then they would be here like a shot.

Same clubs would win the FA Cup either way. How many different winners outside of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd & Man City have won it in the past 35 years? 3 maybe?

If we went down I imagine he would be off elsewhere anyway. Would be nice to get him permanent in this window but I don't see it happening.

Do you not think the idea of a boycott, for a game that shouldn't even be taking place if it wasn't for years of under investment would have been a much better idea that more will get behind though? Especially when you factor in the opposition and what they have been through too.

You are correct, there is very little information if anything about it. I remember seeing this at the time...

Because it was all made up. Also said Ismael was a fantastic appointment. Made me think, who really is this chap?

I'm pretty sure he signed a new one year contract with them to 2027 just before he joined us on loan, to protect his parent club in case it didn't work out here so they could still get a fee for him in the summer.

I was just about to post similar and is the exact same as where I am at. It seems to me that the coalition don't want constructive criticism, the "the action has been chosen and that's that" comment I find disappointing. I think it was yourself earlier in the thread that said the coalition don't seem to understand the mindset of the majority of the remaining match going fanbase, and I agree. I truly do hope this works and is the start of something, but the numbers for this game I think will be no more noticeable than it was the game against Milwall a few weeks back.

Sacked with 3 wins in there last 10. Meanwhile here we have won 1 in our last 10 and we limp on.

Probably in hiding after crowing about what a brilliant job Gestede and co did in the summer.

To be fair they have enough of our ex players there to choose from! Yeah he's been poor at Derby, 2 goals in 21 games, both against Wrexham funnily enough.

He scored in his last game, against Wrexham.

He did, but he signed for Rovers as an apprentice before turning professional 2 years later, so I think he can be included in this.

Raya Nyambe Taylor Jones Olsson Wilcox Dunn Wharton Duff Garner Beattie Although Garner and Olsson both played elsewhere before joining us, they both signed for our youth team/academy before turning professional.

You would only do that if results mattered. Here, they don't.

I think we will. When Toth and Gudjohnsen are back in the side, with Baradji getting better every game and still potentially having Tronstad and Cantwell in the side, I think we have just enough. Oxford and Charlton I think will go down with Wednesday, although it will be close and won't be a pretty second half of the season to watch, thats for sure.

Phil Jones on his league debut against Chelsea was superb too, probably more impressive than Wharton's considering the opposition involved.

That's because Celtic is a results driven club. Venkys era Blackburn Rovers couldn't give a hoot about football results.

I mean I hope not, but is Paul Mullin one to watch? Been recalled from Wigan, seen he has the same agent as Ismael, Cashin & co.
