I’d like to see the numbers on this over the last few years. I know we’ve scored a few but we seem to concede so many more in injury time!

Seems to be made public 75mins not an hour before now. I’ve been getting an alert on my phone from LiveScore at that time all season. Edit: Sorry missed the previous reply 👍

Read an article earlier where it said he’s a decent club player. With 9 darts I think he’d probably get it pretty often down the pub - in front of a few thousand people, maybe not! Hit one big treble and he’s in with a shout though.

Looks like it’s any official/competitive fixture so rules out that option of loaning him back out or selling him. Key Aspects of the Rule: Standard FIFA Rule: A player can be registered with a maximum of three clubs in a season, but can only play in official matches for two of them...

Good point. Is the 2 clubs rule in a season still a thing?

Not the long term solution, but short term could be useful to keep the pressing tempo up if we’re looking to see out games for the remainder of the season. Obviously, there’s the other possibility that he’s simply been brought back to be loaned/sold elsewhere as he’s not played that much at Wigan.

Great shout that. Amazed that he got 12 in 34 in the PL when he only ever got double figures twice in the 2nd tier.

Very true. There’s players that regularly scored 20+ goals at this level that struggled to get near double figures in the PL Looking back we did very well to get Danny Graham (think he got 12 league goals?) in that first season. Be interested to know how many centre forwards since then have...

I’d edge towards this as well. As much as I like Casey, Samuels-Smith & Yalcouye it would seem a waste to bring another loan player in who’s going to block a pathway for one of our youngsters. If it’s a starter who’s going to get 8-10 goals or assists, and win us matches it’s a different...

Tricky with the centre forward issue. Personally I’d wait until the end of the window until they know the timeframe with Idah. Make a decision then if they want to loan Wales out and bring someone else in.

I’m sure it’s based more on how relegated teams have done in the last few seasons than their actual performances. There’s 3 or 4 places in that top 6 still up for grabs (and no I’m not getting carried away and thinking we’ll make it!)

I still keep thinking that Southampton & Leicester will come good and make the top 6 but the longer the season goes on the less and less likely it looks.

And tbf he’s not got much choice once he’s started the 5 countdown with his hand and gets to zero with no sign of the ball being released. I think the reason it’s not being more accurately penalised is they’re waiting far longer than 3 seconds to begin the countdown. It’s definitely...

Excellent effort to have won 5 from 7 👏 Thought we were excellent off the ball, with the exception of that 10 minute spell half way through the second half. A lot still to do in terms of decision making and execution in the final 3rd. Hopefully we can squeeze more out of the current personnel...

In trouble here..

I think that’s definitely true. However, I’m not sure we’ll bring in another central midfielder unless we lose one though. We’ve already got 6 (7 if you include Cullen) competing for the 3 places so I’d be surprised if it’s signed off from a numbers/financial perspective.

If we can get a 1st choice right back on a long term contract it’s a no brainier 1 - if not stick with Galbraith I’d expect a winger to replace Benson - assuming he goes back to Burnley Apart from that I don’t see any incomings unless we sell or lose any of the other loanees.

I think that’s a fair point and the balance of him and Cabango isn’t ideal if you’re looking to play out from the back. Personally, having a left footer is almost as important though - unless you have an Ash or John Terry type who have a range of passing with their ‘wrong’ foot. If Casey...

Had a poor month or so, but he’s clearly a solid no nonsense centre half for a mid table/top 10 Championship side. I appreciate he got promoted with Ipswich and played in the PL but would suggest that’s his natural level. He also provides some experience and leadership which as a group we’re...

Big ask to win 5 in 7 in this league at any time, but if we can get a result on Thursday then we’re right back in the mix with the large group of ‘mid-table’ sides. As others have said, it can’t be underestimated how important 2 wins against Oxford & 1 against Pompey have been, especially when...
