I think Cashin will be ok for us, our ambitions and expectations are significantly lower than Birmingham's. The focus needs to quickly shift onto getting some Wing backs and Strikers through the door now though.

If he keeps Pratt out of the team, I'll be annoyed. We do need options to rotate the squad but unless he can play in the centre of the back 3, it's not really a priority position.

He'll be like a new signing when he's back though (whenever that is)

lol, even better

5 days until the Hull game, not even a whisper of a player joining. Assume Ismael will just shift the goal posts when asked if he's annoyed at not having players in as he wanted/expected. "January is a difficult time to sign players, the club are trying, yada, yada, yada."

It looks like WBA trod a similar path to us. Sold good players (Fellows for £10m, Heggem for £14m) with the aim largely to "reduce the average age of the squad", employed a manager who's been claiming they're better than their results show as the stats point to more shots, more chances created, small margins, only losing games by a goal etc. despite results being poor They are 3 points better off and have 2 more wins than us but at least the club have realised this isn't working and have binned him off. Ismael will take us down and still be here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cn0k9j1dz94o

The players long contracts were a way around FFP I think.

Rosenoir's contract is until 2032. Some people just don't learn

Sacking season in full swing around the leagues. Ryan Mason sacked by WBA

So Liam Rosenoir is the new Chelsea manager. Really not sure how this will go but I've just seen that Strasbourg are owned by the same company that own Chelsea, so feels like a bit of a lazy appointment on the face of it. He's done well in management so far but these type of appointments rarely seem to work out at big clubs over the medium/long term. Maybe the days of getting "big name" managers in are over?

Might not have scored many but he's still getting games. 21 appearances so far. I doubt they'll cut his loan short.

Yes, our abysmal summer "planning" has left us with a squad of players not fit for either formation.

Not in the squad but he did get injured in the previous game, didn't he?

Leicester fans have also called for a boycott of their game against WBA tonight, unhappy with the running of the club/ownership. We're not alone.

As we're in an "emergency situation", have a long injury list and have prepared for the window, you would have expected 1 signing through the door by now. We all know how this window is going to go.

You would assume he'll be getting the call for the rest of the season.

Rothwell would be an unreal signing but he's got better offers coming his way. Sheff Utd and Derby (of course) are linked. He won't be coming back here, sadly.

Didn't last long. Nancy has been sacked by Celtic.

Agreed. He won't be able to rotate the full lot but whatever team we do end up fielding is going to be dreadful.

Sounds like we are writing this one off and "rotating" the squad and giving minutes to those who haven't played much. VI has already name dropped Toth (no bad thing) and Montgomery in his post match interview as players that will play, along with any new players (good luck on that one Val) Difficult to pick a line up at the moment but I would imagine there would be starts for Toth, Montgomery, De Neve, Henriksson, O'Riordan, Acheson, Gardner-Hickman & possibly Dlamini. I think he'll want to rest Ohashi but without another striker to start, he might have to play. Think he'll leave out both Cantwell and Baradji also.

Yep, I've seen the same rumour.

2 shockingly shit managers and the outcome of the season is likely to be scarily similar as well.

I'm really not sure what the problem was...?

Rovers in trying to sell it's best players shocker.
