I havent seen us win since we beat Cheltenham 2-1 back in 2006! Admittedly I dont go as often nowadays as I used to, but its still over 30 odd games since then that I havent even had a sniff of a win. To top it off in past seasons, I have managed to attend the games where we lost 7-1 to Cardiff, 5-0 away to Millwall and Reading , 4-1 at Yeovil, 6-2 at MK Dons and a 5-0 home drubbing to Peterborough. Last season I was working up in Manchester and made it to three 'home bankers' at BP against Walsall, Scunny and Bury..........which instead yielded a grand total of 2 points. I finally plucked up the courage to go again this season against Brentford only to see us lose to a 93rd minute goal, but I'm planning to go to the Orient game, so anyone planning on going, dont..........as we will most likely lose!

Without reading 4 threads..........Ellis Plummer is :censored:e!

What about Steve Redmond? Worth a mention just for hacking Dean Saunders shot off the line in the Villa game at the start of our Great Escape!

Wish we had a player like Eyresie now. He really was a class act! One of my favourite ever Latics players

Sadly I think it originated from the Leeds song they sung when they played Chelsea in the League Cup earlier this season. Their version was Diouf and Varney and obviously directed as Cashley Cole. Still funny though!

To be fair, most our team falls asleep around 3 o'clock on Saturday so its obviously pretty normal.

Until we are mathmatically safe I'm taking nothing for granted. However as it has been all season, its about what we do that matters. Would rather have the points on the board rather than the games in hand.

Thats a very interesting comment from LJ. I have a mate who is a Yeovil fan and he said that when Grounds was there he was very vocal and like a leader..........which makes me wonder what the hell PD did to him that made him not. Despite what the players have said in the past, I dont think the dressing atmosphere under Dickov was very good at all.

I think he had a 'Making tea badge' from the cubs once, hence why Taggart drunk so much of the stuff! Ive asked a similar question on another thread, but dont remember any mention of it when he took over.

But surely the only way Dickov is going to learn is by getting good advice and ideas from others who know more about the game than him? No one can every question is work ethic but judging by the comments surrounding his regime and their fitness, he needs to adopt a more professional attitude towards his coaching and management techniques. I still think he has the makings of a decent manager but he has got a hell of a lot of work ahead of him starting with his tactical nouse. Maybe he needs to lose that nice guy attitude and become an arsehole instead! By the way to what level did PD have his coaching badges?

Under Dickov we were lucky to get 10 mins on a rare good day of any substantial high tempo football let alone 70! Sometimes you just need to take the game to the opposition and put them on the back foot. So many matches over the last couple of seasons where teams were there for the taking if only we raised our game and got out of 1st gear but instead we gifted them goals and they won without even breaking a sweat!

I think Dickov will become a decent manager, but his biggest flaw was that he believed that we could win matches just by talking a good game which we all found wasnt true. Bad managers talk the talk with very little action, good managers let the results do the talking for them. Others like Dave Penney were :censored:e at both. PD as well all know would have been better suited to having an experienced number 2 next to him and learning from them, but he was either unwilling to listen to advice or thought he knew better. LJ on the other hand seems to me to be the kind of character who wants to learn and is always wanting to better himself. I'm sure even Fergie would say that everyday he learns something new and the guy, even though he is a total prick, has won everything there is to win in the modern game. Dickov needs some time away to look at himself and the way he handled the whole situation here. He could still make a decent manager but he has to learn from his mistakes but sometimes I thought that he was too stubborn to do that. His next appointment is a make or break for him as he will have to start backing up his talk with results and progress.

I watched a video on the BBC website the other day about the preparation that Billy Davies goes through for each match at Forest. It was quite incredible how much prep work he puts into each fixture. He even has his own media studio at home where i monitors training which he has filmed. Seems like he plans to the minute detail. Was actually quite a fascinating insight into how the game has changed over the last 15 years or so. If LJ has that same attention to detail and approach then whatever happens he will leave us with a more professional setup hopefully.

Good stuff. Would have been interesting to see how different it would have been had the club not done the meet and greet yesterday. All sounds positive so far, lets hope the players buy into it as well over the next 9 games. Once again shows what this group of players are capable of, even if it was against Hartlepool. Big test this weekend

What kind of reception did LJ get?
