Nor would he be had the supposedly £2m midfield signing been anything other than atrocious.

Genuine question: Did Ismael and his staff know how many minutes Forshaw could play in a week?

Doubt there was anything like 10,200 on looked more like 5-6 k on the TV.

Forshaw wouldn’t be playing 3 games a week if Tronstad’ hadn’t have got injured.

about 300

But some of those injures were predictable and we should have taken steps to mitigate against them. Wharton and Carter injured, always going to happen. Forshaw playing 3 games in a week, always going to happen. Hedges has had issues with injuries in the past. Baradji signed injured. And the main reason we appear so thin is that so many summer signings (and a couple Gestede brought in last year) are nowhere near the level required.

Fully agree.

Hence why his contract is not being renewed…

Probably but i doubt many of them were taken tonight, did hear a while ago that they don't doff them out to players and staff like they used to.

Need a lot more than that.

It's been pointed out several times that Ismael's lasted an average of 7 months at all the clubs he's managed, so he's already overdue for potting. But the great minds at Ewood saw fit to give him a 3-year contract so we better get used to it. Onwards and downwards.

Deffo need a striker and right wing back in January

The number of players we have out injured is killing us at the moment.

The football is utter and complete garbage, IMO. Some on here pilloried Big Sam. Feck me, we were then in the PL and holding our own. Can we turn the clock back please !? It's even a hard watch on TV with this shower of shite. I've even turned down 3 freebies with hospitality at Ewood this season - wild horses would not drag me there. As I sit here with a fine cognac contemplating, I am almost certain I will never see my club in the PL again and there is every chance I will not visit Ewood again given, IMO, a moronic and incapable ownership and executive management who seem hell bent on grinding our club into the dust.

All depend whether they can play more minutes then they are. Only Ismael and his staff will know this

Not sure what Ismael can do when we missed very good chances or in terms of team selection at the minute.

Playing Alebiosu in a back four would negate a lot of his attacking opportunities. Not to mention the point that non of the centre halves are good enough to play in a two.

Are we sure the attendance doesn’t include complimentary tickets too?

i doubt if makhters wages are anything to do with it,more the fact he`s turned completely shite this season and looks well out of shape

How many fans did Oxford bring?

Meaning only about 1200 ish actually bought tickets including Oxford fans. Totally unsustainable and tonight was without doubt an unofficial boycott.

I knew that, perhaps I saw that again and assumed it was the announcement for the final squad. 😊

Over half of the squad “ he put together “ are in the treatment room. Given the teams we are having to put out at the moment I can’t see us pulling any trees up.

Genuine question: would you start Cantwell or Baradji in the next game if TGH (and Forshaw and Tronstad) is out injured?

I thought the final 24 were to be announced on Thursday...He made the 50, I think..
