I'm not surprised, our League 1 status is hanging by a thread and he must (or should) feel majorly responsible.

Absolutely spot on.

Latics 1 v 1 Doncaster (HT 0-0) Nazon 4,188

If it left us on the brink of relegation, then yes I think they would.

As footballers go I'd say he's above average intelligence, I wasn't comparing him to Stephen Hawking.

It's an interesting appointment, I've heard a lot of him on Talksport during his ban, and he is undoubtedly an intelligent bloke. He certainly knows the game and has done his coaching badges. I'm not sure about his temperament for management though, as someone has said previously he has a very very short fuse. It could be entertaining though, and I can certainly see him spending plenty of time watching from the stands next season. He'll make Shez look positively laid back when remonstrating with referees.

Wimbledon 1 v 1 Latics (HT 0-0) Doyle 4,353

Mmmmmm that would require not giving it away every 5 seconds.

Rochdale 1 v 1 Latics (HT 0-0) Doyle 5,124

I've just had a look at that site, and bloody hell. I know they rated the winner a 10, but also rated 8 other horses as a 10 as well. They then rated 11 horses as 9 out of 10 (which brings in the third Bless the Wings). So out of 44 horses (including the reserves) they rated 19 as a 9 or a 10. If you backed all those 19, even though you got the 1st, 3rd & 5th, you'd be showing a loss.

Latics 2 v 1 Gillingham (HT 0-0) Doyle 3,789

I don't think a point last night is a disaster, but puts more pressure on us to get a win on Saturday. I thought overall we were poor, we started slowly and Walsall could have been 2-0 up in the first 15 mins, we gradually grew into the game, but inevitably went 1-0 behind again. It really does make it difficult constantly giving the opposition a goal start before you decide to roll your sleeves and get playing properly. Good goal from Nazon, who does have some ability at this level buts needs to be more consistent. I like the look of McEleney he has some good touches and definitely has something about him, I think their's a player in there. Byrne for me does far too much, he sometimes needs to take the simpler option, he seems to take on all the responsibility for the entire team. Walsall were poor and definitely came for a point, I think we should have had enough to win that game, but their keeper did make a couple of excellent saves second half, if only we didn't feel the need to gift the opposition a goal start nearly every week.

The jury is very much still out on Wellens for me.

Latics 1 v 0 Warsaw (HT 0-0) Doyle 3,423

Oxford 1 v 1 Latics (HT 0-0) Doyle 6,729

Certainly trying, although I can see this going right down to the wire. I was looking to just consolidate this season, given my Championship budget compared to the big hitters.

Latics 2 v 1 Blackpool (HT 0-0) Doyle 4,729

Sorry to be pedantic but Gravity Grave can't be 7/2 fav if oafcmetty is only 3/1

Have we heard any news on how bad Drummington's injury is?

Wigun 2 v 0 Latics (HT 1-0) 9,478

A good listen, and some very realistic views expressed.

You're not the only one.

I also seem to recall saying, "I think he'll play for England" within 5 minutes of seeing him for the first time.
