Has no plan b and just selects his mates

Didnt see that one coming

At this rate League One will turn into a farce like League 2 this season. Thats Saints and Stockport now -10 which kind of devalues the competition from the off. Also there seems to be a strange coincidence with administration and teams nicknamed The Hatters. Strange but true

While i think TP would make an excellent manager, i wouldnt want the youth setup left in the hands of someone else. He has done an excellent job and his skills alone will be financially beneficial to the club for years to come.

Any appointment comes with its own risks, no matter who the said manager is. Sometimes they work out sometimes they dont. I have to say i was a bit underwhelmed when it was first mentioned but then i think maybe he could be the person to get us out of this division, but then again he may be like the Warnock, Shez, Moore, Talbot, Dowie and not do it. Realistically we have made an appointment which fair enough wont sell season tickets or increase crowds, but the truth of the matter is only consistant performances on the pitch and not bottling it when the heat is on will do that. We could look back in a couple of years at this moment and say it was the best thing to happen to OAFC since the pinch me days.

To be honest, unless the service to our front players improves remarkably from this season, we could have Torres and Messi up front and it would make bugger all difference. If Abbott could back to anywhere near the fitness and form his was in for Hudders then he would be a good signing, but i havent seen enough of him to judge where he's at now. He cant be any worse than Ormerod and Kabba though surely.

I dont know why but i feel a bit uneasy doing to Darlo what everyone did to us when we were up s**t creek. Everyone came to our expected closing down sale and pinched players like Fitz and Stretch for well under their market value. Admittedly the Torex tosser was instrumental in it all, but it wasnt nice when it happened to us, and i would be a bit peed off if i was a Darlo fan with all the vultures circling.

So just a few hours till the worst kept secret in history is revealed. Just for amusement sakes, it would be quite amusing if it turned out not to be Penny after all

These awards are just big Leeds, Leicester and MK Dongs love fests. Not even worth the effort of looking at them. Notice Mark Tierney made it as well. Never really understood why we let him go as he always seemed have quite bit of potential.

No i cant say i am over enthusiastic about him being appointed either, but then i look at the realistic alternatives and none of them really appeal. I think we have to accept that a club with our budget, stature and fan base combined with outstaying our welcome in this crap league, is the best we can expect to attract.

Although i think Boothroyd would do a good job, im not sure his brand of football would be very welcome at BP. From what i gather its similar to a certain Rugby Ron.

The big problem we had this season was having a squad which had no discipline at all. Fair enough Gannon may be able to restore some of it, but i really dont believe Gannon would set a great example to the players full stop. Gannon is just a loose cannon. The club has had enough negative press this year without adding him to it.

My housemate is a Norwich fan and apparently they dont have a pot to piss in now, let alone if they get relegated. Still if they do go down i would expect them to make more of a fist of going up next season than Charlton and Saints. The bad thing for us is, more 'big' teams are going to keep coming down from the Championship so every season we dont go up its going to get harder.

Lee Hughes - like Chris Porter - Dislike Chris Killen - Dislike as he went on to play for Celtic Ritchie Wellens, Like Neil Kilkenny - Dislike Fitz Hall, Like Clyde Wijnhard, Like Matty Appleby, Apart from being :censored:e at his profession i didnt really mind him Paul Murray, One of my favourite all time Latics players. Wayne Andrews, - No opinion and cant see why some rated him so highly. Jermaine Johnsson - Dislike Lazy bugger who could have done much more when here if he could of been arsed Christian Colusso - Like - Wadsworth's talented South American wonderkid.....ahem ok Mick. Thanks for Bury and thats it

Opening day would be nice

I dont dislike the guy and was glad him playing for us than against us since he's been here. The only problem i have with him is that he looked as if he couldnt be arsed after January deadline finished, but then i spose we could say that for the majority of the team. He did have some good touches and a good eye for goal but will be interested to see how he does at Championship level next season (providing he signs for someone in it) as i dont think he has the fitness or ability anymore to make it as a successful second tier striker.

My mate is a Saints fan and is gutted about it, even though he accepts that they deserved it for all Rupert Lowe's attempts at plugging the sinking ship. Thing is though i dread to think if we had gone into admin a season after we did where we would be now as IIRC we would have been down with the deduction. I think i was Wrexham who ended up going down instead and look where they are now. Yes clubs should learn to live within their means, but i think the damage has already been done for a lot of them who come down from the Prem and dont get straight back up. Think Saints are in for a long hard season next year. Looking likely to be -10 and nowhere near the resources that Leeds etc have had. My mate fears that they could become the next Luton. Still they deserve it for making the final day back in 1993 so unbearable!

Latics dont show up and we forefeit the match 5-0

I admire you for even wanting to watch it. I saw it was on but just couldnt bring myself to ruin my Sunday like my Saturday afternoon

This is precisely why he needs an experienced head alongside him.Not offence to Tommy but he is just as inexperienced and 'learning the trade' like shez. Saying that though, i think shez would be to stubborn to listen to anyone else anyway so wtf does it matter

I have always been a massive Shez fan but i think his position has become untenable for reasons which sadly arent football related and if rumours are to believed from the night at the dogs, well, i dont think it needs to be elaborated on.

Thankfully the extortinate distance to make a midweek game saved me the pain of seeing it tonight. Yes we lost against another :censored: team, but to say his position needs to be reviewed if we dont go up is a bit of a knee jerk reaction. If we make the play-offs then Shez's record would have been two play-offs in three seasons, and a miraculous 8th place last year considering the injuries we had. I would say though that his team selection tonight was somewhat baffling. Budtz for Fleming? Hines who is a centre back at right back instead of Eards? And its no coincidence that Hughes's game has been off since Windy arrived. Alessandra deserves a start and get back to basics again with the team that started the season so well. Our problem is, as it was when we almost blew it two seasons ago is that all our players seem to lose form at the same time. JUst out of interest, did we ever get the sports psycologist in in the end? If so then i think someone should check out how legitimate his CV is.

To be honest i think the Daily Mail gets a rough deal from people. It is the only paper i have read that dares to tell things like they are. I would rather read that than the rubbish you get in papers like the Guardian which is all pro Gormless Brown and is basically a mouth piece for Labour and their communist/socialist crap. Im not saying the Daily Mail is faultless as every paper has its bad points, but just anything pro-labour just happens to have more cons than any other. The Mail seems to be the only paper and perhaps maybe the Express as well that have the balls to stand up to all the PC clap trap which seems to surround us nowadays. Still my one gripe with the mail is that the sports section is still very keen to jump on the Leeds bandwagon. Its a breaking story for them......Leeds arent a big club! As for the fiction section for the bible, well that may be so but religion is not so much about praying to God everyday but a morals that this country is based on. Its no coincidence that since religion has been shunned that society has fallen apart, and for that reason (and im not a bible basher) the bible should be celebrated rather than seen as an offence to anyone else. Thing is if someone said they were sticking the Koran on the top shelf you could be sure that there would be idiots with placards saying 'Death to those in libraries who put the koran on the top shelf'!

To be fair, Whitaker's goal was more to do with his good foot work and finish that a Windass contribution. But the flick on for the second and the little pass to Taylor for the third were class. Good finish as well by Taylor as well.
