  1. George Elokobi announced his retirement yesterday. Not the clearest memory of him but still remember him as a Latic. He put a bit of something up on Twitter:
  2. The fact there's no form of apology to the fans in there is appauling. Does anyone know or have an idea of the budget versus the likes of Wrexham, Notts County, Halifax, etc.? In regards to Shez, feels like it's being mentioned to try and keep people on board as it implies nothing has been agreed and it's merely an intention to negotiate. Buzz words.
  3. I’m really not one for ripping into players as they’re people like us at the end of the day but Iacovitti really did pull a golden ticket getting to play in L2. Some really poor performances, could not defend whichever wing he was on. Said this before but I think most players gave it their all for most of the season (not letting them off here in the slightest). The only problem is and what we’re not used to, their 100% is what we consider 50% having witnessed some talented players over the years.
  4. Wasn’t myself but did see a tweet saying something like half the players were on their knees and the other half straight down the tunnel. Highlights on Quest showed Sam Hart sat there looking baffled.
  5. Think everyone appreciates the idea of getting someone up who has a physical presence (think that's what Hope's role became) but Jameson is a defender for a reason. Know it comes from a place of honest desperation to get something from these games but we can't rely on them to fill attacking roles. Practically it would mean him having to belt it back after every attack. A tired defender isn't a good one, especially when we're down on our most important one (Pidge). We're against a side that has become very good at finding the net since Matt Smith has come along (EFL on Quest highlighted how their form has changed since bringing him in - like we need a reminder of him being able to score). Important now to keep the team solid and every player know his role; it might be do or die but we're not down yet. We need to play reactionary but cautious football.
  6. The worst part is they all were rather than just false hype. Let's pray Barrow & Stevenage fluff up tomorrow otherwise it's Wealdstone (a) confirmed. Cannot even imagine how we win this one. Think they'll press relentlessly once they suss us out. Let's hope we come flying out of the gate and surprise them - or at least sustain a good defence. Pidge couldn't be needed more at the back tomorrow. We all know what Matt Smith - of all players - is capable of...
  7. Anyone have any info on who the sponsor will be and/or when it will be added?
  8. One of my favourites of all time this new kit. Crisp, modern meets retro, proper Latics look about it. The badge fits nicely as well. Basic design but less is the new more nowadays. Least it gives us some identity. Might be an unpopular opinion on here but the old one we’re all used to has had its day imo. The club needs to reinvent itself. Absolutely. Thought I was the only one who noticed this. Proper nice touch.
  9. I liked this post but for the wrong reasons. As optimistic as I'd love to be, it highlights the downfall of lower league English clubs - that includes us. Sadly saying "it'll be reght" means nowt when people like AL are running clubs nowadays. What annoys me is it'll keep happening and we're partially the ones to blame, I'm sorry to say. What is anyone actually doing about it? What does anyone expect to happen? It's great to see some fans taking the initiative to organise protests, etc. but that isn't gonna deter a yet another "wealthy" sociopath like AL from running our club from behind closed doors for their own benefit. Look at Notts County, Bolton, Bury, Leyton Orient. There isn't some magical business person around the corner waiting to buy out the club and rectify all the wrongs; it took Corney years to even find this guy... We have next to no say in this club. I appreciate all the Trust do but read the thread regarding the club's accounts if you think otherwise (AL's fault not theirs). I've never felt so distant and cynical about Latics in all my life (I've only been going since 2003 - bloody millennials). I'm aware fans helped get the club out of the mud in 2004 but look where we are now. This post is me blowing off a bit of steam but the big question I can't emphasise enough to other fans is "what are we actually doing about it?" both short and long term. I envy the likes of AFC Wimbledon and how their fans went about reclaiming their club. I hope we do the same one day and that a few wins this season doesn't rose-tint this regime.
  10. Right at the end it says "Departures" then lists him with Latics next to his name.
  11. Extremely worrying. Makes the Corney era seem like the golden age. AL could do with sitting down with a copy of Soccernomics.
