Chalobah has played a combined total of 407 minutes of football in the championship this season. Jamal Lowe has only been on the field once in the last 10 games and his last goal involvement came in December. Are you still backing those two to deliver at Wednesday? We should be looking to get Chalobah, J Lowe and Ugbo all off the books for me as it doesn’t look like it’s going to work for any of them at Wednesday. Maybe a loan for J Lowe and Ugbo and we can always recall them in January if they start scoring somewhere else

Looks about right but I’d guess Ryo Hatsuse is out of contract too. Given Ryo was on trial with us for a while as a free agent before we signed him and we only gave Armstrong a contract until the end of the season, I’d be surprised if we gave Ryo a contract longer than 6 months

It’s never been entirely clear how recruitment works under Chansiri has it. But the signings we’ve made while Röhl’s been manager haven’t been great either way. We’ve signed 5 attacking players this season and they’ve barely contributed a league goal between all 5 of them

Who signed Ugbo, Jamal Lowe, Chalobah, Cissoko, Kobacki?

I agree that we’ll never go anywhere while Chansiri’s running the club. But Röhl still has to take some accountability for the worst home record we’ve had this century, the poor recruitment and losing 5 home games in a row

Does anyone know when was the last time we lost 5 in a row at home?

We’ve not beaten them in a match for over 13 years now. That’s the longest run in our history without beating them since the first fixture between the two clubs in 1891. It’s something else we can thank Chansiri for is that we’ve never beaten them while he’s been running the club

It’s unlikely with only a month of the season to go but could we still get a points deduction this season? We could be better taking the points deduction, admin and relegation this season and resetting next season in league 1. It’s looking like we’ll be starting next season in the championship embargoed with a points deduction

We go into a 3 window embargo if it’s not paid on Monday

Who’s going to buy a club in a 3 window embargo with the next season’s ticket revenue already spent? They’re going to need deep pockets just to keep us afloat for the next 12 months

Could the players (and even Röhl) leave the club with no compensation being paid to the club if they wanted to? Surely you’ve got grounds to claim breach of contract if you’re not being paid on time. Would you carry on working for an employer who wasn’t paying you in full or was paying you late?

The EFL shouldn’t have allowed us to spend fees on Ugbo and Valery. How can a club be allowed to spend a couple of million on transfers when a few months earlier Chansiri was asking fans to send him £100 each to pay HMRC. Troyes are probably following this story wondering if they’ll get the full fee for Ugbo

Pierce or Shea? Been reported Musaba is out of contract but the club have the option for another year

He’s more like Urby. At least da Cruz started quite a few games. Cissoko’s looking like he’ll pick up a wage from the club for 6 months without even starting a game

14 players in the current squad are Röhl signings: Beadle Hamer Max Lowe Valery Ryo Hatsuse Chalobah Svante Armstrong Shea Charles Ugbo Cissoko Mcneil Kobacki Jamal Lowe And we still had Ihiekwe, Marv, Iorfa, Famewo, Bannan, Windass, Paterson and Smith all playing today who were with us in league 1. It’s alright saying ‘clear out’ but the players we had in league 1 are still better than the majority of players we’ve signed in 3 windows under Röhl. Without Smith and Paterson this season I think we’d have been in a relegation fight because Ugbo, Jamal Lowe, Kobacki, McNeil and Cissoko have delivered nothing
