There is already an organic boycott going on. If we're only getting 5000 in the ground, you'd like to think it wouldn't take too much more to get a good number of those to boycott one game.

Real punishment would be a free season ticket and mandatory attendance

Exactly this. He's a shite manager and will relegate us. Needs sacking ASAP.

We were always 1 bad managerial appointment away from oblivion. When you throw in the worst summer business from a football club in many a year, you're well and truly on the back foot from the off. And we still have our post Xmas collapse to come.

Corrected

Fuck off We're in serious trouble.

Finally making some changes. TGH and Baradji on. Mori and Cantwell off.

Pretty much how he rolls every game.

Needs to make some changes. Tronstad and probably TGH need to be on to wrestle the game back for us.

FFS

How have we not conceded there?

Silly from Taveres

Why can't we take a throw in?

I'll give Taveres his credit there, great bit of play from him.

Utterly bizarre selection. Taveres in the Tronstad role is incredibly worrying.

So like, Pape can't hit an open goal from 18 yards out. Not surprised. I'm sure Cantwell actually says "I'll give you £100, if he gets this" to the Skysports presenter, which suggests he doesn't rate Pape much either. Oh, and Pears dropped the ball 🤦‍♂️

I think that whole assessment is absolutely spot on 👌

Looks to be 2 tiers below them, goes to regional level. Tier 5 - North West Regional Football League, Prem division Tier 6 - North West Regional Football League Div 1

He's the last of the famous 5 (Tronstad, Travis, Hyam, Brittain & Dolan) that we really needed to keep hold of and build a team around this summer. Plan seems to be working well so far............

Only loan I could see being recalled would be O'Riordan. He can cover at centre back with Wharton and Carter still out, would allow Miller to shift to RWB if needed also. I still think we'll just shove Hedges at RWB and be done with it.

Don't think they were bots as such but there were definitely some people who had clearly been paid to be Pro-Venkys, ultra positive about the club early in the season. Remember having an "argument" with one about Eustace being a better manager than VI. He was on my case a lot when Derby were below us but dropped off quickly after Derby got their act together.

I think the interview was with BBC Lancs, post Oxford game I think.

Completely agree with the midfield pairings but tbh, I'm yet to find a midfield pairing I do like. Tronstad has to be 1 of the 2 in any pairing but: Sonny & TGH: Best we can do at the moment. Not enough creativity between them. Sonny & Forshaw: As above but with slightly less energy as Forshaw hasn't got the legs anymore. Sonny & Taveres: Just the worst pairing. They both end up occupying the same space. Taveres is the opposite of the high workrate of TGH. Sonny & Montgomery: Montgomery has the energy and work rate but has gotten lost in games to an extent and also has the same lack of creativity as TGH. Sonny & Baradji: Feel like this will be the one for a few months at the end of the season before Sonny leaves in the summer and we're back to square 1.

I'm sure Ismael was asked in an interview (BBC Lancs, i think) about Carter suggesting on social media that he's nearly back, VI responded saying he was still some way off yet and his post was more likely regarding being mentally on the right track. I think Carter is still some months away from a return. I think the most likely option to replace Alebiosu at RWB would be Hedges shifted over and De Neve/Yuri play on the left. TGH is a possibility but there is no one left to play CM if he goes.

Confirmed now by the club.
