Today will be a good judge of how we look without Wells. The good news today is two of the bottom three are away at Leeds and WBA so we should be 12 pts clear tonight. I know I harp on about that CUP team but as we are trying to free up even more cash for the summer doesn’t it sound even more ludicrous we picked that team. So frustrating, you never know against City we might have had a really good go, we could have got far more cash for being in that Cup. If truthful I’m as upset as much about selecting that team as the transfer window went. Well my beef is that we prioritized the league over the cup by foolishly organizing the Blackburn game for the Tuesday. There was no rush to reschedule and we rested players because we had a game on the Tuesday - that we lost anyway. Wells was rested for the cup and then we were forced to release him anyway. But I guess hindsight is a great thing. For the record, I think we will struggle today and I fear that it could trigger despondency and even panic in some quarters. Clive (LFW) is a big opinion former and his preview for today is pretty downbeat. His view of the window is not too dissimilar to the views on here but his point about paying to watch football and not balance sheets is sobering. Sometimes losing a few characters about the dressing room, Wells,Leistner, can have a big effect on confidence and the team. Should that happen today we could start to capitulate. On the other hand they could roll there Sleeves up and say look what Wells is missing.

So frustrating, you never know against City we might have had a really good go, we could have got far more cash for being in that Cup. If truthful I’m as upset as much about selecting that team as the transfer window went. Agree about the cup - a good chance to make some cash especially if we had City in eh next round and even with the hope of a replay here. Re today it is interesting. There are a number of games this season where we have started Hugill up front and Wells as a late sub for 15 minutes or so and others where Wells has started and Hugill has been the sub. We have not started too many games with both on he pitch. So starting with Hugill on his own is not much different although the absence of Wells obviously weakens the bench if we need to chance things around to get a late goal. The bigger problem today I think may be Cameron being out - someone said he has a 2 match ban, and how the defence line up looks. Still think Manning shouldn't be in at fullback and will Barbet and Rangel be fit? I have no great expectations for today. City seem to be one of those teams we never get anything from these days so I will probably settle for a draw but still hope for the win - getting into the 40 point range is a big confidence builder I think.

On the other hand they could roll there Sleeves up and say look what Wells is missing. Thats why having Cameron Rangel and Wallace around is important - even if only on the bench or in the dressing room. I have been hearing rumours of Leistner being unhappy both with being in the UK and not being a regular so his dressing room influence may not be so missed although he did seem to always give it his best attempt on the pitch - sometimes not too successfully against quicker more mobile forwards who could turn him with ease - someone like Wells for example!

We had no say in the date for the Blackburn game Ricky. The rules of the EFL & all of the top non leagues is that a postponed game must take place on the next available date. All matches that were scheduled for the FA Cup weekend have been played. Three in the week before the Cup & eight in themidweek after it with Stoke playing on the Saturday. I don't think The Premier can have the rule though. Personally I don't like this rule & I'm especially peeved that Chesham United have now had the 3 & 1/2 hour drive to Tiverton postoned THREE times! It will probably now be arranged as Chesham's match number eight in Febrtuary even though there are many free midweeks in March & April.

Perhaps we are in the driving seat as he is on trial with us.
The reports I've seen from the under 23's game are promising & that he is big & commanding.
IF his trial is a sucess we may have a good young pairing with Materson!

Does not matter to me who we get in now, i think we are in for another relegation fight. This club is going downhill real fast, i dont think i will bother attending another home match until this FFP shit is finished. Until then we are a pound shop club, loanees and youngsters groomed to be sold on, no ambition and a series of goon managers. This is just my opinion, so no high horse lectures about FFP etc etc, you cannot deny we are going nowhere for a coulpe of years. Not worth getting het up over.

It’s very disheartening all this FFP crap but we can get through it, just need another year of staying in this a League, then I’m going to optimistic things will look a little rosier in the Summer. Don’t get me wrong, we will still lose Eze or BOS but if we lost just Eze , I think the team can recover and our finances will be much healthier and we might even see a little bit of cash being injected into buying players. I don’t think fans want us to be spending 10 million a window as at the minute this just can’t happen but if we see just a little bit of funding back into players, we would all be much happier.
I do still think we are going to struggle and scrape to get these 5 wins or 50 odd points though and for me as negative as I may be , just hope we can get through this season in this League, 21st will do. I just feel Wells goals are going to hard to replace. A good judge will be how we respond at Huddersfield , they concede a fair few goals usually, I think only three have conceded more and one of those being us. Let’s see how many we s ore against one of the worst defences?

Look on the bright side - the vast majority on here are intelligent enough to understand that if we do not have money we cannot spend it. The vast majority support the club through thick and thin even if we moan about the bad times - we moan because we care but we still support and those that can still go to games. Even better FFP is here to stay and we will be directly under it's influence while paying off our fine - about 9 years - and will probably be under its influence for the next 20 years because we are what we are and no magic wand is going to change it quickly. One small step at a time and we seem to have started in the right direction. The good news then is that the OP should not be attending a home game for 20 years.

Aren't we just reverting to where we used to be as a club back in the 80's and 90's where we found lower league talent, brought them in and sold them on for a profit? (Parker, Seaman, Fenwick, etc, etc) OK the parameters are slightly different with regards to Bosman, FFP, etc but to me I would rather the club took the current approach than be in debt up to the eyeballs and risk losing everything. I do get some fans frustrations but the rules are the rules and we are dealing with them quite well under the circumstances, just a shame the owners didn't take the approach several years ago.

I do get some fans frustrations but the rules are the rules and we are dealing with them quite well under the circumstances, just a shame the owners didn't take the approach several years ago. Yes in many respects that is exactly where we are at, but as you say the rules have changed since those days so it will never be the same. You could say we tried to get too big for our boots and failed and that is why people feel gloomy about the present. If we had stayed "small and stable" the discontent we hear these days would be much less. I can say I would take back the teams of the mid 60's, a team of characters, a league cup win, a couple of consecutive promotions and even being thrashed around the old First Division was not that bad - great teams to watch, good football, 35,000 home crowds ( in the same stadium where we can now only squeeze in 18,000 if we are lucky.) and an experience I would not have missed even on the worst days. Watching the hoops run out at a packed Anfield or Old Trafford (when standing was allowed) is something never to be forgotten - especially so quickly after watching bottom half of the third division football. Maybe that's why I can be more relaxed about things now because I have seen much much better - but also much much worse days down the Bush on and off the field. Again the rules have changed even more since those days. I can just imagine the situation if we had the young Morgan twins, Gerry Francis Martyn Busby Ron Hunt Frank Sibley etc breaking into our team this season. They would be snapped up - maybe before they even got to play for us, but in those days, before the influx of big money, clubs were able to hang on to players and most players had some loyalty - and less agents. So I suppose we are seeing the "progress' of football - much of which I do not like. As much as we may wish we could return to the good old days I am afraid they are gone forever and we have to put up with what exists today. The one thing that will never change is I am Rangers until I die come rain or shine. I know many on here feel the same but unfortunately the number of football "fans" who would say that ( R's or other clubs) is getting less by the day. Follow the big boys while they are doing well then desert them if things drop a bit. On a more positive note I have been reading some reports that safe standing may soon be allowed in the PL and Championship. I would love to see that both for the atmosphere and for what should enable us to get a few more fans in the ground. We will see.

You can understand there frustrations, lets face we are building everywhere these days and we all have less places we can go for a walk or take the dog out and unwind. The first few games of this season was a definite high! Very true, it was a good start...... now we have reverted kind of into the last four seasons of bottom half mediocrity. 16 points from last 18 games which is less than a point a game since October and more like just slightly better than relegation form. Football is better in the whole though, more attacking this year, we probably do concede more than we used to. Signs under Warburton things are improving and he has had no cash so to speak. As Eg says we had the Cardiff win which was a definite highlight and the Leeds win. This cycle of five seasons could quite easily continue for another five but I guess as long we continue to keep out of League One it’s mission accomplished. Its a very tough League, that’s for sure, things might be different for FFP but at least we are not throwing Millions on Anton Ferdinand's ,Luke Young’s, Sean W Phillips and the like. Im thinking and hoping there might be a little more progression in the next window and Summer, small steps and all that. Lets just hope Fulham and Brentford don’t both get promoted, that would really peeve me off , though you can’t argue the Brentford plan has certainly been a good one.

Looks like Dalling will be off to get some first team action in Ireland. From Echolive www.echolive.ie/corksport/Cork-City-to-make-two-more-additions-ahead-of-league-opener-on-Friday-c7f8c443-333c-4fca-8444-a886915ff8f5-dsCork City to make two more additions ahead of league opener on FridayDenis Hurley WITH just four days until the beginning of the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland Premier Division season, Cork City manager Neale Fenn is set to make two more additions to his squad. City begin their campaign on Friday night as Shelbourne visit Turner’s Cross, with the Rebel Army keen to put last year’s disappointing eighth-placed finish behind them, and defender Joseph Olowu and midfielder Deshane Dalling are set to sign on loan from Arsenal and Queens Park Rangers respectively in the coming days. Nigerian-born central defender Olowu, aged 20, is a ball-playing centre-back and is expected to sign until the summer. Already, Fenn has Alan Bennett, Robert Slevin, Joe Redmond – who is on loan from Birmingham City – and teenager Josh Honohan vying for central defensive spots. Dalling is 21 and has played for the QPR senior team. His arrival will give Fenn more options in the middle, where captain Gearóid Morrissey, Cian Coleman, Alec Byrne and new signings Henry Ochieng are all in contention.

I like Dalling, not that I am an avid follower of the Under 23s but I have watched a couple of games and he looks very talented.

Rangersman,its not good for your health to be that negative. Even if we go down as you think we will, its not the end of the world. On another tack, will someone say like Harr, or Roller please explain to tme why we are still in FFP trouble. Is the fact that we were in the Prem for 3 years the trouble? Appreciate any help I can get in comprehending this.

Appreciate any help I can get in comprehending this. Roller is the man for you london. However, we are NOT in FFP trouble! The club have taken steps to ensure that we avoid falling down that hole, even though this is the hardest season for us to achieve this! FFP, or it's future incarnation, will be with all EFL clubs for etenrity (unless clubs decide to scrap it). To pass the regulations the club have to lose less than £39 million over a rolling three year period. Last year we were judged on the seasons 2015/16, 16/17 & 17/18. This year we will be for seasons 16/17, 17/18 & 18/19. And so on! This season is the hardest because it is the first season that we have not benefited from parachute payments from the PL. Therefore, our expenditure (wages) requird to be decreased by a huge amount to counter balance a large loss of income. The only way we will incraese income in the EFL is from selling players at a profit. Thus the sales of Freeman, Smithies etc had the double effect of increasing income & reducing expenditure. A saving grace for this season is that we have lost the accounts from 2015/16 to our calculations as that was our worst return since our relegation from the Premier! The accounts for last seasson will shortly be released & thern the club can assess what the budget will be for the next one. Hopefully this is of help & that I've understood it correctly!

On another tack, will someone say like Harr, or Roller please explain to tme why we are still in FFP trouble. Is the fact that we were in the Prem for 3 years the trouble? Appreciate any help I can get in comprehending this. Roller is the man for you london. However, we are NOT in FFP trouble! The club have taken steps to ensure that we avoid falling down that hole, even though this is the hardest season for us to achieve this! FFP, or it's future incarnation, will be with all EFL clubs for etenrity (unless clubs decide to scrap it). To pass the regulations the club have to lose less than £39 million over a rolling three year period. Last year we were judged on the seasons 2015/16, 16/17 & 17/18. This year we will be for seasons 16/17, 17/18 & 18/19. And so on! This season is the hardest because it is the first season that we have not benefited from parachute payments from the PL. Therefore, our expenditure (wages) requird to be decreased by a huge amount to counter balance a large loss of income. The only way we will incraese income in the EFL is from selling players at a profit. Thus the sales of Freeman, Smithies etc had the double effect of increasing income & reducing expenditure. A saving grace for this season is that we have lost the accounts from 2015/16 to our calculations as that was our worst return since our relegation from the Premier! The accounts for last seasson will shortly be released & thern the club can assess what the budget will be for the next one. Hopefully this is of help & that I've understood it correctly! Spot on.

The hardest part, as Dave McIntyre and Clive Whittingham continually point out on twitter, is actually convincing some of our fans that the club cannot just go out and spend money on players just because our owners can afford it.

Did you hear the one about the US President , the UK Prime Minister and the QPR Supporter? OK, I'll bite... Assuming this is about the current incumbents and one rangers fan in particular (mentioning no names...) - is the the one about all three of them continually talking out of their fundaments?

Nomar, suddenly I feel so much better, thank you. So we can assume that as a team we are on the straight and narrow and functioning as best as we can with what we have.
