Go and get Nigel Adkins!!!

What the hell did he do to get the sack?

The cup income would surely provide Corney with the cash to remove the manager if he wanted to?

Said before, Taylor always seems to make the keeper work, a good attribute for any striker. Give him a run.

I think every one is a little down due to the lack of success on the pitch and are inclined to moan about everything (even Robbie Simpson for saying Latics won't win the FA Cup!!!). There a lot of fans who listen Gordon, don't take too much notice of an ill informed few.

Wellens would make an enormous difference, anybody think that's a genuine possibility?

He does see them every day of the week though!!

I'd like to see Taylor given more minutes on the pitch, looks like one of those strikers who always hits the target and makes the keeper work, always a good sign. Lets have a look at him on the bigger pitch at Coventry where I suspect Smith will be found wanting.

Test them by sending them out on loan and keeping an eye on them. The only way if we can't/won't give them enough competitive reserve games

Make no mistake, this is a fantastic signing for us, we have real chance to build a team around Jose, the more quality you have in the team the easier it is to attract others. A chance for some momentum for next seasons per season signings. I think we can get more from Montano as he matures and feel we can get much more from Furman and Wes under improved coaching staff which must be our next big signing (also feel we will see Sutherland feature next season, looks promising to me). Need to get this season out of the way as far as the league is concerned and enjoy the cup match?

Jury is still out on Dickove isn't it but we all like him and want him to take us forward, key coaching appointment Mr Corney next please.

Insinuated Steve, insinuated.

Interesting that so many people support the continuation of the youth scheme but question th quality of the talent that has come thought it???

You know, I listened to the Brentford commentary on Latics Player.

It seemed to me that we played some decent football, had much of the possession and whilst they felt confident that they could hold on to the win felt that we had a few good spells of pressure, sounded like Winchester ought to have equalised just before HT for example. I

couldn't make this one but are we being hard on the team because it is yet another home defeat? did Brentford look that comfortable?

Sounded like we did create a number if chances that on another day could have gone for us - same old story? Their commentators felt the main difference was Donaldsons finishing!

Lets go and get him!

Definitely consider Donachie, where is he now?

Agree, too many C bombs, this is a really good message board, lets keep it that way

Leeds in that season when they were deducted 15 points at the outset?

That said Sly it was Furmans cross for both the missed Smith chance and the disallowed goal!

Maybe this was an idea that Dickov himself put to Corney!

He's held up his hands and said he got the staff wrong, lets go again with a new back room team.

Just a different twist on what might have happened.

Looks to me like he took a risk and gambled that the defender would make a mess of it, he did, he got his chance, he scored. That's what natural strikers do. Lets give him a chance.

There are still a lot of out of work managers but relatively few jobs to go for. That must mean we would get some interest , whether we could afford them is another matter but surely some of these managers just want to work to get back into the game and the public eye? A bit like Derbyshire in the playing sense i suppose.

15,000 fans!!!! Fantastic.

Montano to start for me. Grounds like a duck out of water on Saturday, kept drifting infield and providing no width BUT he is our best left back and should return there. Harsh on Brown? No, he looks a little lightweight to me and prone to panic.

Dickov is always almost too respectful of the opposition. He is always saying 'this will be a tough game'. They shouldn't all be seen as tough, a home game against a struggling side shouldn't be tee'd up in the same way as say Sheffield Utd away. Change the language and let's be more assertive, positive etc and tell the players we will win as Shrewsbury are not that good!!

Doubt he would come but he'd put bums on seats, attract decent players and wouldn't accept less than100 percent.

Wabara, Croft, Derbyshire and Baxter. They are now failing to deliver on a regular basis. Have we put our loanees on a pedestal?

(Appreciate Baxter is a short term contract)
