If you mean the cross that landed square on his forehead that he managed to head wide, Clarke-Harris provided the cross. Wr would have some player in Clarke-Harris if he could get on the end of his own crosses. Kelly has been by far the worst player on the pitch over the first 3 games. I'm not saying everybody else has been great but he has been a walking disaster.

The players are not being helped by Johnson. Lets start at the back. Elokobi is a left back playing centre half. Mills strength was always going forward, he can't do that in this formation. Midfield - Winchester was effective in the first half from the middle of the park he isn't a winger. Jones looked half decent, kelly is very defence minded and cant pass to his own team mates he has been coupled with Dieng who is a centre half being told to play as a second defensive midfielder at home FFS. Clarke-Harris being asked to play up front on his own in a team where there is no support from the central midfield as the central midfielders are holding defensive players doesn't and never will work. Forte gets away with being isolated due to his pace but his only option is to beat everyone in front of him as again there is no support from the full back or central midfielders. Johnson needs to shoulder alot of the blame. Play players in positions they are used to and tactics that actually suit the way the team has been set up.

Better players on Clayton Playing Fields on a Sunday. The guy is absolutely shocking. Fitness or not at present he is terrible.

Kelly should have got Boroughs man of the match award. He broke down almost every Latics move. Surely not every player can be that shocking all at once all in the same game. Tactics must have been a factor, we looked like a side that had been cobbled together 10 minutes before kick off by a Sunday League manager. Borough were a very good side though and it's early days. I still think we will have a better season than we did last year but tonight just wasn't good enough.

He will be expecting decent wages I would have thought. I don't believe we are in a position to pay them. Could be wrong though.

If the deals are done and signed which staff are they waiting for? The only work left to be done would be to announce them and if we can announce Browns contract extension surely we could manage to announce these other players that have already signed.

Yeah he could have an hour or so tampering with the league table while nobody is watching and hope nobody notices.

Baxter was quality in 5 minute bursts, Offered nothing without the ball and went missing for massive parts of every game. If you want to compare them over their most effective 5 minutes Baxter may just come out on top but that is debatable. Philliskirk is by far the better all round player in my opinion.

Got to say Broady is doing a great job for the club. Keep it up fella.

No great loss I would say. Our wide players looked better than he did today.

Me to he was shocking.

Doh. Thats a good enough reason for me.

Can someone tell me how this indicates LJ has a bigger squad than Dickov had at this time last year, when Dickov had 33 pkayers available and LJ has 25 players available if Rooney signs. LJ has 25 players in his squad if Rooney signs. Dickov had 33 in his squad at this time last year. That clearly shows LJ does in fact have a smaller squad.

The best thing about Butler going to Donny is that he has gone as First team coach, not a fitness coach. The guy had no football background what so ever before he joined us. Thank Simon that in Dickov we no longer have to trust.

I will donate £3.00 for every poor referee we get at boundary park and £5.00 for every decent one. By decent I mean just understands the laws of the game and is fair to both teams.

Yes because anyone that says Ryan Giggs is a really good player must be barking mad he is 39 you know.

On a brave decision on appointing L.J. The man seems to talk and sense and more than that backs it up with actions. I know it's only been a short time with Lee at the helm but he has already staved off relegation and in good style. Lee has the players playing for each other and more importantly the club, and playing to win. The work rate has increased, the passion is there for all to see and the results are coming. People are quick to bash Simon on here but without him we wouldn't have a club and i am sure every decision he makes he makes with the clubs best interests at heart. Things are looking up for the future all ready and i for one can't wait for next season.

This is brilliant even by our standards, what happens when a players shirt gets ripped during a game just like Robbie Simpsons did against Liverpool? I've heard you get more than one shirt in prison and they don't just make one off H.M.P Kirkham shirts you know! We can also put the press voucher thing to bed quite easily, just leave a box of tic tacs, some instant coffee and sugar, some kindling an old iron kettle and three matches in the press office. They can drink it out of their hats and if they take milk they will have to milk their own cow before they set off to Boundary Park. Just a quick note Simon i run a Sunday league team and we wear kits made by Umbro, I can have a one off shirt made by Umbro in any size with the Dog And Partridge emblem name and number for the princely sum of £28.00. Don't sign any more players FFS what shall we dress them in?

Would you give Dickov money to spend? Win or lose i think he is out after the Liverpool game and if any signings are to be made they will be made by a new manager. Just a hunch mind you.
