He was in a central position in the first half when he played a great through ball for Rooney who should have scored.

For me it was our worst display of the season but we still had enough chances to win it.

I like the new badge. I liked the old badges. I'll probably like the next one. I feel a Harry Hill moment coming!

It makes no difference who the men in black are. There all rubbish. Shocking standard.

wonder what happened to all our supporters from 1991?

He just needs time to settle in.

I don't know of any latics supporters who expected a manager with no faults. Read any autobiographies by ex footballers and you soon realise that well-respected managers have their favourites, have personal problems, make tactical errors and are disliked by those who don't make the first eleven. Despite this, they manage to get results and win things. Nothing to see here - move along please!

Looks good to me after all the previous pre-match 'entertainment' we've suffered. At least it won't be a load of kids dressed out of the lost property box gyrating inappropriately.

According to MEN he refused to play 45 minutes for our reserves and went back to City. He was told to come back and apologise and then the two clubs made a decision.

He's a talented lad and he's been stupid. Hopefully he'll learn.

Watching Latics this season it struck me that they haven't got away with anything. Ever little mistake has been punished. I know some of the penalties we have conceded have been from clumsy tackles but look at Joe Hart in the first minute for England - no penalty. Hopefully we will improve and our luck will change. I'm still delighted with LJ and the players.

I was pleasantly surprised with the commentary. They knew about our style of play, had seen us before and at least appreciated our quality.

Our football was really a joy to watch. Just need to be more clinical in front of goal - it'll come.

We are conceding penalties in nearly every game and all of them could have been avoided. Sort this out and out toothless strikers and we'll cause havoc.

Final ball was consistently good - great crosses but they need attacking like Tarky did for the goal. We looked toothless. Looks like LJ has got everything else sorted. Preston had to play like the away side which is how they got their chances late on.

I don't know enough about Koukash. It's always a risk when new owners come in. Do they know what they're doing are they i it for a quick profit. To be honest I can't see any reason why it would make good sense to buy Latics. Our gates aren't going to grow appreciably to allow the club to stand on its own feet. My guess is that potential investors look at the fact that we were once a Premiership club and think that's where we belong. However, if Koukash has good motives then great. Our club will disappear without a benefactor.

Apparently the last time he discussed taking over Latics he wanted to move us to Salford and that's why the deal fell through. I got this information from someone who asked SC about it.

We need another keeper but so far so good.

Now this may be just me but any person representing the club should dress smartly and look presentable. Unfortunately Broady failed on all these fronts and on Saturday I noticed that the new guy, though dressed in a smart suit, didn't wear a tie. I would suggest that he wears one - it looks smarter.

Sooner or later he will leave, hopefully we will make a substantial amount of money - which will be use to convert the 'pyramids' into a new stand!

I expect to concede four or five. It's a very difficult game when you consider the state of our defence - Grounds is inexperienced in central defence and the whole back five lacks experience individually and collectively. The best way is for Latics to take the game to Peterborough and see what happens.

We were the better team and particularly in the second half we dominated and completely outplayed them up to the substitutions. All three goals we conceded were dreadful - lack of height for the first, bad positional play for the other two.

Brilliant goal - but I thought he'd taken it too far. Great finish after running so far.
