I thought V Wigan we competed well and pre season progress was going as well as could be expected. However, today, sadly, a massive step back because we showed absolutely nothing in terms of a real attacking intent, not helped by a dysfunctional midfield and a back 5 that ended as a 4 with Stobbs playing right full back! Tuesday, we go to Radcliffe Borough which has already cost me a fiver, and if I was Shez, I’d send a team out to score 3 minimum, and make them all walk home If the don’t.

As the players left the pitch following their warm up, our senior steward gave some instruction / advice to Tommy. Just before K.O, Tommy spoke with Shez as they walked down the steps to the pitch, and I’m pretty sure he was sharing the stewards comments with him. Tommy always hangs out at the top of the steps, but regularly commutes between pitch side and the tunnel, up and down, up and down, and so on, all game. Today was different, as he had clearly been told to observe from elsewhere. He spent most of the game seated with the supporters on the Chaddy side of the main stand lower. Anyone know what was that all about?

Why? Is Anthony Gerrard coming back just for this one?

Now he was a real grafter!

Surely, we must have enough material for a new thread - ‘Ex staff and that’?

Vera is now an ex player.

Eagles is here quite rightly to feather his own nest but I can’t for the life of me understand why he’s had so little game time. Surely he’s already proved to have more quality than most of the 15 midfielders we have so why is he a permanent fixture on the perch? Sorry, bench. Anyway, who is the latest to get their p45?

He and his entourage left the North Stand early, I glance at the clock, 84’, and thought it was a bit odd.

How many tickets did we "sell"?

"Gummigan Done" offers an alternative perspective. All the best Cammy, I liked you when you were playing for us.

It doesn't half wind me up when tho opposition score at BP and then huddle and cuddle for what seems an age before returning to their own half for us to KO. However, tonight, we took that to another level and absolutely milked it big time x 4. It kind of put the referee's totally inept performance overall into perspective really in that on each occasion, he didn't even bother to chivvy us back to our own half. Having said that, I think I would prefer for him not to ref us again at all this season, or at least until he learns how to use his whistle; but more so his yellow and his red cards correctly.

How about putting it in a slightly different Moustachistic way?..... You are ‘growing’ fond of the idea, looking to make a ‘shaving’ at the turnstile, and hoping for a ‘fantashtic’ result?

I could understand you logic if she wasn’t wearing one....

Interested to know if Billy Q still follows us home and / or away now he's not employed by the club. No malice at all, just genuinely interested. Thanks all.

......any Latics player who has still got some boots?

One would have thought that Shez, Wellens and Bunn will talk to their “colleagues” if asked.

Momentum should be with us if we start unchanged. Expecting a stronger bench as well. I hope its cold and pi$$ing down again on Saturday. COYB!

You saw it as I did! In every respect!

Bang on this.

Everyone put in a big shift today, but for me, Missilou was beyond fantastic. Clarkey was carrying a knock at the end... Same 11 to start next Saturday please.

I get that there are two different companies here, but having been told that I could pay at the ticket office, I don’t feel compelled to ring someone to discuss why they couldn’t provide me with £11 change. I posted this on the messageboard to: 1. Advertise the event on behalf of the club as I’m not sure it has already been mentioned on this forum. I’m happy to be corrected though. 2. To warn any mums and dads etc that if they do intend to call at the ticket office to pay, then they need to take the correct change with them so as to avoid the wasted trip which I had.

To be held on Monday 17th December, 6 - 8pm - Ten Pin Bowling, Sandbrook Park, Rochdale. Ages 5-13 Members £9 Non Members £11 Refreshments included. So, as advised, I arrived at the ticket office to pay for my son. I was turned away as I only had a £20 note, and asked to return later with the correct money. I jest not!

Should we appeal that red? Otherwise I think the team will go down to Maidstone on a minibus rather than a coach.

Just 1 win (11 v 10!) in the last 8 league games. Notts Co on Tuesday - will it be win or bust for Bunn?
