I would assume just League games

I'd add the Portsmouth away game in with those, 7 points minimally needed from the next 3 games

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/december/03/ryan-secures-super-eagles-selection/ A final squad of 28 players will be selected in the coming days just the preliminary squad, not yet guaranteed he goes... but he most likely will as they are missing a couple of right backs with injury

He was announced in their 55 man provisional squad yesterday, have they formalised the final squad already?

Football League world have him going to us or Hull Hull it is then

Some good (ish) news, he will miss less games if called up

Cardiff spent up to £4M on Salech, they are not exchanging him for Gueye Salech, who arrives in Wales on his 23rd birthday, has joined from Swedish side Sirius for an undisclosed fee which is believed to be between £3m and £4m. Connelly seems to do ok for 6 months, then his form and attitude drop off a cliff, I would avoid. Edit - Just checked, this season (which is in league 1) is only the second time in his career that he has scored more than 3 senior goals in one season I like Bali Mumba, think he is a decent shout, 2 years left on his contract, wont be on much, vaguely achievable as long as we are not competing with anyone else

I cant speak Polish, so the youtube interview is useless to me, but former senior scout, Piotr Sadowski has apparently said that the data driven approach etc is Adam Owens domain Also, Marcel Regula may be a name to keep an eye out for. Sounds like we were having a look at him during the summer, and we do like to revisit old targets According to Sadowski, the Championship side’s plan was to sign the player and send him on loan elsewhere. He hasn’t explained why Blackburn Rovers weren’t able to get the deal for Regula over the line. “I can say that he was the apple of my eye. I really regret that this player didn’t end up there, but at the time, he would have been a so-called ‘project’,” Sadowski explained. “He wouldn’t have earned the necessary points to receive a work permit in England and the ability to play immediately. “Furthermore, Blackburn Rovers didn’t have the option of giving him a ‘wild card’ at the time; a slot that would allow him to play immediately. The idea was to acquire the player and loan him out. He would have developed in a stronger league than the Ekstraklasa and at some point, would have joined Blackburn.”

Szmodics fee the Raya sell on the second instalment of the Wharton fee There will also be bits from selling Gallagher, Wahlstedt, Ennis, & the Telalovic sell on

Wont say that we will lose, but we find it more difficult against teams who are more content to be reactive, and who do not play out from the back (looking ahead to a week of Sheff Wed, Oxford, Portsmouth). Whereas teams who are more expansive, and invite us to press as they play out from the back (Leicester, Southampton, Ipswich twice) suit our style The above is only magnified in home games. This is not an excuse, Ismael needs to find a second way to play when teams do not allow us to use "plan a". Ismael generally sets us up well to start games, but seems to struggle to think on his feet and counter changes to the flow of the game. Almost invariably, his mid match changes (not just subs) make us worse

yep, depends on if they are more bothered about having an experienced head (Tavares not experienced but is moreso than Atcheson/Litherland), or adding a few £s to the value of someone Edit - What about Forshaw (when is Tronstad back?) & Baradji in central midfield, with TGH at wing back? Sounds better than Tavares to me

Atcheson or Litherland at right centre back with Miller moving to wing back would be the other option Player pathways and all that

Will cover our "significant expenditure" (otherwise known as paying a ridiculous sum to Emmanuel Dennis) last January Also contracts handed out to Cantwell, Bath, Weimann, maybe Bakers loan, etc under Eustace, probably all on more than our current self imposed wage limit Why though, do I suspect that the next set of financials will show a very similar picture despite this summers cuts to the playing staff?

not on the bench

2 subs The first 3 (Tavares, Cantwell & Baradji) had already been bought on before we went ahead. He then decided that Gueye & De Neve were good options to hold onto the lead
