  3. Their goal looked like an absolute brain fart from Jonny but the highlights show that it was actually a Gerard own goal. He was unlucky after making a very good reaction stop.

  5. I think we’d all feel a bit down if we spent 14 hours in the office, not getting 3 quality players.
  6. All this talk of a new ‘keeper. Can’t we instead go back to the attacking football that Jonny was a part of? I liked that football, and it was successful too.
  7. We may well have been one of the cheaper ways to buy in to a Football League club but I'm just not having it that relegation is the plan. Are we so mired in the bad decisions of the past 20 years that we believe this to be a genuine possibility?!
  8. If he wanted a League 2 club, he would have bought one, wouldn't he? Why pick up a failing League 1 club to achieve that?
  9. OK, so Wellens has hit that sticky patch that most, if not all, new managers do at some point. He's been found wanting at the plan B stage when key players (Doyle mostly) have been missing. I very much doubt that a relegation is on Abdallah's wish list so it's time to back the manager with some good, solid players that enable him to settle back into his plan A football that, I think we can all agree, was both good to watch and successful.
  10. With respect, if the deal with us was already agreed, why would they be so upset that we'd announced it, even if slightly prematurely?
  11. Latics 2 - 1 Plymouth (H/T 1 - 1) Byrne Att. 4,600
  12. Thought he looked energetic and willing to break forward with the ball before he tired. I suspect he’ll find himself out wide once he gets some fitness.
  13. If the game was on to get these fringe players out before we were able to register the new guys, then the Rotherham game should be treated as collateral damage.
  14. Just an idea but maybe play the best ones in the best form?
  15. We were shit but relatively tight defensively under Shez but much more open and attacking under Wellens. That's fine when you're scoring plenty of goals but not so good when your strikers are playing like a bunch of Jaffa's. Could Placide have done better with some of those 26 goals? Yes, but I'm not concerned about keeping him in the starting eleven as he was such a big part of our initial renaissance.
  16. Maybe for this season (as it should see us safe) but I unapologetically demand play-offs or better for 2018/19.
  17. I'm looking forward to his first interview, where he enthusiastically lays out his immediate and longer-term plans and tells us how privileged he feels to be custodian of this wonderful money pit club.
