Mr Banks, Zone 3

I wonder where this leaves them for next season though. Assuming the position with the ground stays the same, who's going to want to play for a team who literally aren't playing for anything. I feel really sorry for their fans.

If we were given the 3 points I reckon we'd still lose them

Alex Reid has just popped up as a pundit on Radio Manchester. Says he hasn't given up hope of a return to action with Latics

I saw the game through the eyes of an outsider yesterday, as I took my mate to his first ever game at Boundary Park. I was embarrassed by the performance, I'd warned him beforehand what to expect as we're so terrible at home, but he was still surprised by just how bad we really were. On the plus side though, he thought the ground and atmosphere were fantastic - at the age of 58 he's decided he wants to become an Athletico . Amazingly, he really does want to come again, so if there are more like him who saw the potential yesterday and enjoyed it despite the performance, maybe all is not lost.

When I were a kid in the Chaddy, the sight of the bus drivers appearing in the main stand paddock was a welcome sign that there wasn't long left to hang on. Or, more frequently, a worrying reminder that there wasn't long left to get something from the game . I used to get the 420 match special back to Failsworth, it was regularly ambushed at Fetherstall Road roundabout by visiting fans being escorted back to Werneth station... I soon learned to sit upstairs.

That's maybe just a reference to Frank's 'Atlantic Crossing'.

Cheers, must admit I didn't watch the full interview, so was unaware he was cup-tied

Leon Clarke signs for Mickleover, will probably play against us next week... https://fb.watch/oG5e_Lzoxo/

We want 7!

Dubose played one first team game, at home against Darlington in the League Cup. I remember it well, he had a slightly 'unorthodox' style - a tendency to try to save everything with his legs and he kept legging it out of his area - but still managed to keep a clean sheet though

It was Dougie Anderson who was born in Hong Kong, no longer with us sadly. Darron McDonough was born in Antwerp as has been correctly stated, although he lived near me in Failsworth. Here's another couple of overseas players (apologies if they've already been mentioned and I've missed them), does anyone remember Winston Dubose or Orpheo Keizerweerd?!

Steve Edwards was playing at a much higher level, he must have had some ability to be playing in what would now be the Championship.

Aww, I liked Steve Edwards, always gave 100%

For me, Fondop cost us that today, he's a total liability and unprofessional. If he doesn't get sent off and Reid/Shelton take their chances I reckon we win comfortably against a decent side. It's all if's and but's though and Unsworth reverting to his default defensive nonsense at the start of the 2nd half cost us just as much. All in all it's adding up to a nightmare start to the season and the league table is an absolute embarrassment.

Thanks very much for posting. Really good video, the fella seems quite a character and very gracious as you say
