It's currently looking like it's not realistic to let the Royles nominate the ideal manager, either. Miracle required at BP close season otherwise it's possibly a groundhog day next season.

He'd probably be a shit as the rest of them in this team.

We all know that cannot happen and the worry is the budget will not be there to bring in what is required, so we end up with some new players who will actually do the job and drag the rest with them.

They will, they have no choice.

Only if they take a goal off Fylde and give it to Latics. It's going to take a lot of hard work for Mellon to sort this out during the close season, if he is capable.

Pulled one back..who scored?

In which case, it's not a 'cup final' as is being touted but just an easy, winnable game.

The attitude should be that the whole 'Cup final mentality' of the opposition should be a compliment to Latics and the club, not a fucking handicap.

Of course they can win, they just have to behave like a team of footballers and not incompetent strangers. It's 50/50 really, isn't it?

Or water off a duck's back, more likely.

That's a testament to your faith in the team.

He might be worth £500M but it doesn't mean he will plough endless cash into the club, it seems he has a stability plan similar to the Rothwells.

Not if he got a better quality of service in the higher leagues, which I suspect he did. We can all speculate about player-targets the club needs, getting them to sign is another thing altogether. Some of the deadwood will still be here next season.

We was their cup final, the tossers. Predicting Halifax 3-4 Chesterfield.

Fucking social media [and I obviously use it] must be one of the most misused technical tools we have at our disposal. Norwood is a professional, will pose with the fans and partake in off-field duties. What more can we ask of him..apart from putting the ball in the opponents net? I couldn't give a fuck about his demeanour on the pitch as it may help to put the fear of god up the opposition. I admit, I reacted negatively to a post regarding Norwood a short while ago but after reading it back, realised I had been taken-in by the very social media shite I hate so much. There we go, we are all susceptible at times. The point is, before the all-consuming media hatred washed over society, a brief paragraph may have been all we got in the 'Chron. No dissection, no insinuations or calling into question someone's character, just a brief mention and possibly the reason why. Then we all forgot about it, rather than being like a fucking dog with bone.

Solihull win and Gateshead v Alty a draw. Latics win at the Dags.

I don't have an issue with people having more than one username, it's when they start talking to themselves that worries me. I didn't watch the game today as I am in the middle of a health issue and a family loss but from what I have read and the gaffer's post-match interview, it sounds like the lads gave a good performance. I called a 2-2 draw earlier on this thread, shame Dallas couldn't convert his chance but that's football for you. Anyone know the attendance by any chance?

Are you surprised?

Emphasising the strange ambiguity of this league, Wealdstone, one place above the relegation zone and having four games in hand on Southend, would be in tenth and above Southend had they played and won them all.

I'm still plumping for a draw, which will frustrate the hell out of Chesterfield, although I'm confident the playing style will give everybody a sore neck.

They won't win.

We've matched them performance wise?

No surprise though. Seventh place probably the most we can hope for or a miraculous run of wins.

Can't be any worse than the stats from Saturday, can it?

Who play teams like Kidderminster, who then make us look bang average. Figure that one out.
