Does anyone know if we are allowed to pick any of the returning loanees for the final three games?
Thinking of Cresswell, Shacks and Hjelde as they won't be involved in the play-offs.
{Ed002's Note - No, they are not available.}

After a fightback like that, we should fly ourselves out to Australia and take over from our pathetic Baz balling cricketers - what a comeback: )
MOT guys, enjoy the rest of your weekend, I'm certainly going to.

Save your money cleggy.

That's what we want! The second half (not the first) is exactly what we needed.
We can compete at this level, we can take it to the best in the league, Farke can make changes earlier in the game, and DCL can be a major asset as long as he's got a partner upfront with him!
I know we've lost and that we are still in the relegation zone but I actually feel as if we've got something out of the game.
Well played lads, and well done Daniel.
Now let's keep that up for the rest of the season - all to play for now!

5-3-2 with wing-backs and DCL and Nmecha up front seemed to work. Bit of throwback, but if set pieces are in vogue, could two big lads up top be in vogue also. Ps curse of the rubbish keepers strikes again - thought he should have done better with 2nd and 3rd and not convinced about the 1st either. Need to watch it all back.

Haven't posted for a few weeks - just sitting watching it all unravel. It's all a bit doom and gloom at the moment that's for sure.
Surprisingly though, the various pundits on the BBC (both tv and radio) seem more upbeat about our survival chances than most of us do.
However, like most of us, they can't seem to see where we are going to pick up points from in the next few games - worrying times indeed.
I'm still optimistic that we will survive providing we don't let our heads drop.
I suspect that Farke's downfall will be his refusal to change (picking certain players, late substitutions, same format etc. ) , which in many ways was Bielsa's un-doing - a refusal to change.
I saw McAtee's name mentioned below as a possible loan signing in January - a good call. I'd also throw Harvey Elliot into the mix. Sitting on his backside doing nothing at the Villa currently. Either would hopefully provide us with that spark we so desperately need upfield at the moment.
If, or should that be 'when', Farke goes, I'm going to throw a name into the replacement hat - currently unavailable but if a certain result doesn't go his way he might be interested - Craig Bellamy.
Absolute pain in the backside as a player, but he's a fighter. He wouldn't be afraid to tell the players exactly what he thinks. Brings a tremendous energy and spirit to the game and, knows nearly half of our squad already!
All conjecture and who knows what the next 4 or 5 games may bring? Hoping for five wins on the trot naturally:)
MOT guys, we're still in this!
1.) 25 Nov 2025 13:31:29
Fair post mate. Time will tell. We all want the same thing. ?.
2.) 25 Nov 2025 15:57:57
Excellent post Cleggy as always.
Had never considered Bellamy but think he has done a fair job with Wales.
3.) 25 Nov 2025 16:35:10
Great post, and a great, leftfield-ish shout on Bellamy!
4.) 25 Nov 2025 16:46:21
Good post Cleggy. I never thought of Bellamy either. He will see this WC play off out and personally, even if Wales miss out, I think he will stay on there. To have any chance of attracting any decent players in January, we must stay in the mix.
08 Nov 2025 17:17:09
Big, big opportunity tomorrow.
Win and we give ourselves a little bit of breathing space.
Forest played away in Europe on Thursday - sides which do that tend to struggle in the weekend matches.
We MUST take our chance (and chances) tomorrow.
No more Brighton-type performances please!
1.) 08 Nov 2025 19:49:31
With you on this Cleggy, just can’t see the players we have being motivated. Players picking up easy money for doing little. Hope I’m wrong.
2.) 09 Nov 2025 00:30:50
That’s all well and good - but who exactly is going to take our chances
?
3.) 09 Nov 2025 01:57:43
No idea 1970. But I know somebody that won’t.
02 Nov 2025 17:47:46
Before we go down the route of getting rid of Farke I would ask the following question - whom do we get in to replace him?
Nuno and Dyche have found new homes, as has Danny Rohl, Postecoglu would win us a trophy in his second season when he's taken us down into the championship, Mourinho is far too expensive and divisive, Gerrard simply isn't up to the job, Potter hardly covered himself in glory at the Hammers and as for the idea of Benitez coming out of the woodwork - fantasy land!
Be very careful of what you wish for.
Our only hope is to stick with Farke and trust that he can make the necessary calls each game and more importantly, get who he wants in the January window (CAM and a goalscorer to play up with DCL) .
1.) 02 Nov 2025 17:59:03
Why would Benitez be a fantasy?
2.) 02 Nov 2025 18:39:17
Too expensive for our owners.
3.) 02 Nov 2025 20:49:12
I've seen this question posted around the internet and it's disingenuous and a deflection away from the faults of Farke.
Were not paid to find his replacement. You can pay me to find it, sure but right now that's not my job, or the fans job.
Sticking with Marsch 2.0 will see us relegated.
4.) 03 Nov 2025 00:58:09
I suggested Benitez some weeks ago, but it's too late now as he's signed a 2 year deal to coach Panathinaikos. Cleggy was prob right about him being too expensive though as his new deal is for £3.47M per annum - don't think we'd have offered him that.
5.) 03 Nov 2025 11:05:16
Coberan or Will Still pls.
6.) 03 Nov 2025 11:58:24
Corberan is in the bottom 3 with Valencia and Will Still has been awful at Southampton hence being sacked. ????.
7.) 03 Nov 2025 12:38:19
Corberan has done well with the teams he has had to date. He kept an awful Valencia side up last season but the squad haven't got any better this year and its starting to show. He is still a good manager.
Still is a very good manager but Saints terribly run and possibly distracted by his wife's illness.
12 May 2025 14:55:05
Yes please - he'll do nicely.
27 Aug 2024 12:35:23
Wilder blowing a gasket, never:) ) ) ) ) ) )
Oh dear, how sad, never mind:)
31 Jul 2024 17:05:38
Please, no!
19 Jan 2024 14:04:45
You sure that’s not Ryan Kent we are trying to sign Alf?
21 Aug 2023 14:54:00
And make sure there's a loan clause correctly inserted into the contract.
Sorry, previous regime! Just couldn't help myself.
05 Dec 2025 21:22:01
Good post Vid.
03 Dec 2025 22:38:03
Couldn't agree more Dave.
29 Nov 2025 18:39:40
Top post sixpence.
10 Nov 2025 17:57:45
At least he won't celebrate when he scores - small consolation: (.
10 Nov 2025 16:37:43
Never thought about McKenna OP - interesting shout and one that might just work.
I have a feeling that the 49ers' will wait until the next four matches are out of the way then have a look. Unfortunately by then, we could find ourselves firmly in the relegation zone!
