im guessing until the 6'3 CB is fully match fit its going to be Sefil and Wheater... Sefils reading of the game is not great but he wasnt solely responsible for blackburns goals. They went direct on us in the 2nd half and if you watch the Highlights they targeted Alex Lavotti on more than one ocassion, im guessing due to height.. The whole team can certainly hold their heads up high on tuesday night , they did us all proud with that performance and if we take that performance into our league games we really have nothing to worry about ... just need to tighten up at the back going forward we looked good, alot of pace and energy.. alot of positives to take forward and i guess the longer the team are together and being coached well hopefully a promising season ahead...

Blackburn looked a different team when Dack came on we started defending deep big gaps started appearing between Defence and attatck.. it Naturally happens as blackburn picked the pace up and pinned us back, its very hsrd to play against, and very hstd to play a higher line ,thats where a leader at the back would have been ideal BUT again this isnt taking anything away from Sefil and Alex Lavocitty at the heart of the defence.. they put their bodies on the line a few times, we just ran out of steam... alot of positves to be taken out from last night.. look forward to bradford on saturday

your right Gaz, he won more than he lost in the air tonight aswell..

Thoroughly enjoyable Cup game ..Completely different performance to that which we witnessed on Saturday. Not many teams in this league will want to play against that Forward line of ours tonight..We broke with purpose and plenty of pace about us. Yes we do need a leader at the back and maybe if we had tonight the final scoreline might have been different.Not taking anything away from the 4 who played in defense tonight everyone out in a shift maybe tiredness got to them as mistakes leading up to two goals, but thsts what The coaching team are there for If we can take what we witnessed tonight into the bradford game we wont be far off ..

Its alright being defensive minded if he knows how to switch his play once in possession instead of meaningless amounts of possession deep in your half and very slow at changing tempo..

I was looking forward to this game tonight , but that was before reading this interview.. I struggle to see how Benide would motivate you as a player never mind 17 of them sat in a changing room before the game and at half tome ., he comes across really negative.. but has he got reason to be negative knowing the circumstances he faces at the club.. Well i just hope we put a good show on tonight on a big pitch and that we keep the score respectable and at least have a go at Blackburn and give us supporters something to sing about.

2 games gone and 40+more to go, dont you think its abit early to be writing our season off ?

2 games in with 40.+ more to go, its a bit early to be writing our season off dont you think?

is that right? ,pity im over in bolton working.. looks like ive missed out

i think hes going to score tonight 2-1 latics- Vera and Stott...Cant wait for this , our season starts tonight

no .. out pribably till sat/ Tuesday.

40 ?

Ticket bought for this game last week, Excited as i think a win for us is in the cards

i said that to someone yesterday.. gone taking his begging bowl back to bolton..

if we get stuffed at Blackburn i can see it having a negative effect on the players going into the Bradford game, i just hope we have a good go at them but struggling to see who will start up front with...

At Bradford on nice big open pitch..They havent started of to great so good time to play them

And to be in a set up where instructions are being shouted onto the pitch in french you must feel like grabbing your stuff snd running as far away from the club as you posdibly can..

IF they are not , could potentiality be putting our club in harm's length.. They might be holding Abdallah over a barrel and that will only take the club nearer to administration

these are question that can only be answered by one man im afraid... Simon Corney told the fans he wanted to sell BUT was struggling to atrract the right investors.. i dont Believe Corney wanted to see the club in any financial harm he just ran out of money , i think his turning point the last big tax bill he paid off...But yes we do need answers as to where he intends to take the club etc etc. .

i know you just love the club.. we all do..

ok... We have a problem here, where are all the potential inverstors into our club, The big snag with buying OAFC is they get very little for their money just as Abdallah has found out..so a buyer will need at least 10 million to trigger a buy out and where are these wealthy business men / women who want to buy our club ?

Thats a crazy thought.. 100 + years up in smoke all because of Al...A consortium of fans with money puttkng a bid forward to buy AL out.. that's the only way to get him to hand over the reigns..

Has anyone got any money to buy AL and co out ?? just wondered..

sad as i think your going to be missing our promotion season

yes ian Ormonroyd and Ian Olney were exactly the sane
