Last to get 20 league goals was Porter wasn't it?

Does anyone actually know what Walker is?

A modern day left winger with no left foot. 

Hallam Hope is also an option on either flank.  

Not keen on that team at all. 

Another observation I made yesterday was the cross field passes McGahey made particularly to the right flank were outstanding.  I also heard him on a few occasions constantly talking and encouraging. 

If Reid had squared the chance from the left yesterday I don't think we would be questioning Norwood yesterday.  I also think he will end up having a good partnership with Reid as on numerous occasions Reid made runs off the last man with only some timely interceptions cutting out Norwoods flick ons. 

I think if that had been when Rhino was here we would have lost that game.  It reminded me of the Halifax game at home last season when we lost to a dubious penalty and then struggled to create any chances. The difference was we came out better in the second half and created some good chances particularly down the left. 

A proper ref and we win that at a canter.  We need a proper wide man on the right and somebody please stop Gardner taking set pieces.

Is the Swindon manager Mike Flynn the former Latics player from the late 1980s?

I think hes the ex Newport manager not the same guy that played for us. 

Pointless waste of money signing. 

I think long term a partnership of Norwood and Reid would be the best way or even Willoughby as I think either would benefit from his clever hold up and layoffs.  I think with a pacy partner it would also allow him a bit more space to work in. 

He needs to play in a 2 with balls into the box.  The reason for his frustration is lack of decent balls into the box which is meaning he comes into midfield or out wide looking for the ball.

Darren Beckford is the one I remember as doing a great job, but I’m sure there were others more recently, however…who was the last goalkeeper to come off the bench and play as an outfield player? I think Jon Hallworth was probably the only one to do it for us, for Joe Royle’s team in the second leg of the League Cup match v West Ham many years ago? We were 6-0 up from the first leg (St Valentine’s Day massacre) and were allowed 2 subs, so Joe chose a goalkeeper to guard against the risk of losing the keeper early on. We had 2 injuries and JH ended up playing in midfield. I think, that’s the way I remember it. Perhaps McFluffy thinks JR was a shit manager. 

It was Palace away when Hall worth came on as a forward.  Think it was about 95/96 season.

. . . And yet Frank is in the stands shouting at Fans- who pays his wages!? 
 

It is now clear that DR and JR have convinced the family into believing he’s the right man- that is negligent. 

 

In terms of the Rothwell’s. There’s a big difference between stupid and naive, they the latter not the former. 

 

 

 

Frank maybe needs to reconsider that comment as without fans at games the money won't be there to pay Unsworth and Co.

They surely have to take action before the season  is completely over for us...

It already is.

It's worked a few times

90% of the time it hasn't and with the options available shouldn't even be thought about. 

Nuttall and Fondop together doesn't work and never will.  Its been tried over and over.  Reid or Willoughby with either of them would be good or Norwood with Reid or Willoughby would be even better.  The midfield is just not right and I suspect he even if Gardner or Lundstram were fit enough to start we would still see this pairing. 

3-1 win for Bromley.  Please prove me wrong Latics

This has got one nil away win writtain all over it. 

One upfront again.  When will he learn. 

We seem to be doing an Everton with Dave in charge.  I think it's time we cut our losses and got rid of him and Ebbrell as they just don't have a clue how to get the best from these players.  I thought he had learned with the Aldershot game but it seems he still doesn't get it.  We need width and balls into the box especially with the forwards that we have.  Playing 3 forwards doesn't work as they need balls from out wide or through balls which we don't produce.

Boggles my mind that Nuttall gets dogs abuse yet Fondop is a fan favourite. One is much more talented than the other and isn't a total liability. 

 

I'm fuming at that. Not the first time he's done it either

 

Some could argue Nuttall is a liability as well with his red card in preseason and also when we signed him he was still serving a suspension for being sent off.  Personally I would prefer to bin the pair of them off but we need a big target man so not going to happen. 

Absolutely dreading this especially seeing that team. 

Oldham nil again.  Great plan again, but too scorer from league below and play him on the left wing.
