We needed a good Jan transfer window and didnt get it. Not replacing saiz was a big mistake. Hernandez looks spent and needs a rest. Hes in his mid 30s. Far too reliant on him. If we miss out on promotion the owners need to build on this year and don't let the good work be undone.

Maybe we should have strengthened in January but the fact remains we went into this weekend with it in our hands. Playing a mediocre wigan team near the bottom who have one win away all season and at home for 80 minutes with 10 men and 1-0 up you have to win that game backed up by a lacklustre display against a side with nothing to play for really. Its been a massive choke really this weekend.

We just have to hope knowing now they are in the play offs now rather than suffering a last day body blow will them enough time to recover and get right for that because this current standard will be miles away from being enough.

bamford got 9 in 14. that's good going.
hugely over achieved this year. however we should have strengthened in January when we were top 2

If we don`t get promotion the owners have already said we will need to sell two or three "star" players as he cannot fund us in the Championship.
So we need investments from elsewhere otherwise the team will be worse than this year player wise.
There`s also the likelihood we will lose Bielsa.

Yeah fair play I agree with that. But why have we choked? Maybe because we lack a bit of quality in the front 3. Bielsa said himself if we put away our chances we'd be promoted by now.

Thought that was a made up story that the owner refuted? Christ he only bought in 3 or 4 players and sold Viera and let Saiz go...

I was told 3 or 4 would go. jansson, Clarke probably

And Philips


I would be ok with Halme to replace Jansson and James to replace Clarke but think that ship has sailed now.

Well if that's the case we need new ownership or major investment otherwise we face many more years in the championship

Just makes the lack of transfer activity in Jan all the more infuriating.

Saturday was a choke for sure. 1-0 up at home to a relegation threatened 10 men there is no other word for it. Totally agree regard the chances missed its been the way all season.

On reflection though, barring the odd glorious performance i'm thinking Derby and WBA at home we have been not that great for a few months. Our last 5 games reads 4 losses and 1 win. The one win against 10 man preston. I hope we can muster up those 2 performances i mentioned for the play offs but its hard to imagine us stringing 3 games like that together.would love to be proved wrong

Absolutely
