January 2026 has gone with very little action taken. I'll drop it out of the stickies section and replace it with this.
Time to look forward, but what division will we be in?

Another short thread sparkey?
Seeing how meticulous BBM is, he's probably got Deboys on the look out already.
A player or two for each division.
Seeing how Kellyman is developing, you'd hope we could get him back next season if we were in the championship.
You feel as if it might be time for Robinson to move on. He gets some goals, but I doubt he'd want another season on the bench.
A permie left back, another striker, a bit of pace out wide.
Theres always the chance that one or two of those on loan have a breakthrough. You wouldnt need as many then.
Giles, Dak, Tan? It would save some cash.
16 games to go. Then we can have a propper think about it. Assuming we're not in the playoffs, then its 18 or 19.

There might be another Summer thread “Who’s going to replace BBM” 
Just reading a WoL article (I still seem to be able to read their premium articles ( 
) for free) on the decisions facing BBM.
What to do with Salech, and especially Colwill snr., on their return. Aparently, we've scored more goals and picked up more points per game without Colwill than with him.
Do they walk back into the side or do they earn a place off the bench?
Nice problem to have. It feels as if a few teams could be put to the sword during the run in.

Salech I think will be a shoe in as soon as he's deemed fit enough.Just reading a WoL article (I still seem to be able to read their premium articles (

Context needs to be given as to who we've played in the period without him. Personally I believe we are a better side with him in it.
As for Rubin, I reckon he will need to re-earn his place and play out of his skin to retain the shirt once/if he gets it.
I know that sounds a bit crazy given his undoubted talent but we've played for so long without him now that his reintroduction could actually disrupt things slightly.
He has more of a tendency to retain and travel with the ball than some of our other '10's' in my opinion as opposed to keeping things ticking over with simple probing passes/our side to side passing in order to work openings instead of trying to 'force' an opening through some fancy footwork....
As you say, very nice problem to have when it arrives.
Its what the article was suggesting. When colwill plays, everything goes through him, since then our play has evolved with a broader approach to our attack.
At least when he's back its another option.
A varied squad which will keep the oposition guessing.
BBM certainly keeps us guessing.
No brainer IMO for both of them to start. Others are Trott, Ng, Kellyman and Wintle. The LB spot is now between Bagan and Scanlon. The CB’s, other CM’s and wide players are all capable of being starters but also can be rotated or picked in a match by match situation. Robinson off the bench.
If you start Colwill snr at 10 and Salech at 9, where does Kellyman start? Back on the wing?
Hes shown a lot of quality through the middle.
And if you start him on the wing, do you drop Tanner who has 6 assists in 6?
Wintle will be missing on Saturday. Who plays 6?
Whatever, BBM will have something planned.
As mentioned here often BBM will “find a way.”
Remote mentioned Trott on another thread. I gather City have an option to buy at an agreed fee. If that’s correct then it would be a no brainer.
The option to buy is on condition we reach the Championship and is pre agreed at €1.8M which equates to £1.57M - bloody bargain.
After all the money we've wasted over recent years. Not just on transfers, but on wages, its nice to see some good business.
Not sure what Osho cost, but BBM suggested 'not a lot'. It wasn't looking great early on, but he's looking another shrewd signing now he's got a few games under his belt.
In a couple of his interviews BBM has referenced signings and fees, saying it was important to spend the club's money wisely and not to waste it. Another refreshing statement from an increasingly impressive head coach.
No doubt, the best signing in the last 10 years has been BBM and his backroom staff.
I saw mention last week, might have been WoL or somewhere else, that BBM was interested in signing a young keeper from Man City he knew from his time there.
A bit odd after Trott's form and the other keeper we signed recently. The Man City lad is very highly rated but only 3rd or 4th in the pecking order so any first team opportunities are very limited. Unlikely he would want to be no.3 with us.

Good news. Another youngster tied to us first a few more years.
Can't be many left who we want to keep who aren't on medium to long term contracts.
There were some moans about him earlier in the year, but as BBMs game plan and philosophy have become embedded, many of the players like Ashford, Zac, Bagan and others have become instrumental to our success.Not "summer '26" yet but I'll stick it here - this is very good news...................
