grim

Bit of both to be honest,the police seemed to be sorting it out pretty quickly though.Shame it was called off,I was looking forward to that tonight.

Kept mine safely srewed up in my pocket,surely they cant charge us full whack again?

Knew it wouldnt last when 10 of our players went into the pre-match huddle and Brill came dashing from his goal to join in only to nearly go flat on his back in a big puddle in the centre circle!!Good atmosphere tonight,looked pretty lively coming out aswell though.

Gregan is the best defender at the club and we would surely not have conceded the sloppy goals we have been with him in the side.All the best Greegs, if this is the end of your time as a Latic,a true legend of BP.

We are a young side who will be inconsistent,I predicted us finishing about 10th.Would have a fully fit Gregan in the side but not if he isnt 100%,would give Tounkare and Feeney time to gel though couldnt understand Bembo being left out the last few games.Lets get back to winning ways next week although I wont see it as Im away but will am confident we will bounce back from today.

Sensible world of Soccer on Amiga for me!

So much better than anything we did all last season.Players playing for each other and like they are enjoying their football.Well done Mr Dickov and the lads,early days but that was impressive today so much so that it is hard to single any player out as they all had a good game.

Thought I saw Gregan leaving with a wheelbarrow with all his awards in!!Well deserved Greegs.

Had a belting night,all the ex players were on good form and even the mrs enjoyed it and she didnt know much about that season.Big fat Joe was great,a good night had by all.

Has to be Gregan,young player :censored: or Stephens?

The man is a liability.I was in the suite afterwards when Sheehan came up and he basically said that Brill should have done better.Could also play against us next week as his loan wont be extended if at all until after the cup game.No one had a good game today,match spoilt by the conditions.

Have joined the jklatics-owtb league,always makes the premiership games a bit more interesting.My team is Foster,Johnson,Hutton,Vermaelen,Pienaar,Murphy,Arshavin,EaglesTorres and Drogba.

Got the same message from Stefan today on my facebook page,leaves a bit of a sour taste after his solid service over the last few years.

There is no way I would be picking Kabba over Lewis as striker,cant believe we have consistently picked ageing journeymen strikers over one of our own with real potential.Young players are inconsistent but you have to stick with them,fully believe we would still be in with a chance of playoffs if Shez had stuck with Lewis and Hughes as our front two.Guess there must be something with his attitude etc,although there are one or two of our other players who have had there own problems and are still picked often enough.Roll on next season,I will still be back in August full of optimism.

Good post mate glad to see some optimism.Im not to sure that we will be in the playoffs but am pretty certain that Joe will be here next season with a side that will challenge up at the top.Kabba has scored goals at a higher level and may benefit from playing up front with Smalley or Allesandra and Joe maybe looking at him with a view to next season.

In the season we reached the playoffs under Shez Stam started the campaign in the team alongside Haining and was arguably our best player until he got injured and Gregan was brought in on loan to cover for him.Given a run of games and the confidence of the manager and coaches Stam is a solid defender and well worth his place in the side.As mentioned there are quite a few players playing for there futures now,lets hope that will be reflected in there coming performances and we see a better run of results.

In January there was relief on here that we had kept our squad together and actually added to it.Fast forward two months and weve imploded,letting our top scorer go with a handful of games to go doesnt make much sense but I guess we have to trust Joe although it would appear weve pretty much resigned ourselves to another season in league one.

Really important game on tuesday now,nothing less than three points or that could be our lot this season.

I first when to BP in 86 and consider myself lucky to have been part of the ride under Big Joe.He was a fantastic man manager whose teams played good attacking football with quality service from the wide areas(Adams,Holden,Halle,Barlow,Irwin).I am shocked at Joe coming back but cant wait as Ive also winged a ticket for the directors box and players lounge so am hoping I might bump into the great man again.Also would like to take this opportunity to thank Shez for all he has done both as player and manager.

Since the start of the season Allessandra and Hughes would be my strikers and since Windass arrived Ive not changed my mind.However he must of got some sort of guarantee of 1st team football to come here otherwise why bother?

Does anyone know who else is on the bill?

The wife watched the game tonight and even she was pretty impressed with Latics and shes only been with me to about 6 games in the last 8 years.She always says it too cold at BP,I should have turned the central heating off to give her a taste of the real thing!

Thought Hughesy looked sharp considering he supposedly hadnt trained all week.Both Hughes and Taylor need to stay fit and on form for us to achieve playoffs or hopefully better.

Agree with that,I like Shez as a manager but my only criticism is that he makes changes after the event,he seems to be a reactive boss as opposed to a proactive one.

Every player gave their all and couldnt single anyone out as they were all great.Linesman as mentioned giving the freekick against Smalley was one of the worst decisions ever,wouldve been the icing on the cake to have nicked one at the end.
