He was running the match today from the start until he was substituted! It was a refreshing change to watch a player who could see and carry out the pass, granted though that the other players need to get onto his wavelength. Do you really want to watch 11 Wes's out there taking no responsibility?

By the way I still think that there is a decent player in Sid! Just tell him not to defend, ever.

So remind me what was the team at Wolves, did it contain 6 midfield players because Montano & Dayton aren't midfielders! A manager cannot control how a team responds at certain times within a season, he can only change things for future games. If we have had 1 awful performance at the halfway stage of the season then in my view its not too bad. Or 2 with Notts C away! Baxter quite obviously didn't fit into LJ's system so hey-ho LJ is the manager and he gets my 100% percent backing, even if 1 of his signings hasn't lived up to expectations (Rooney) and the other (Sid) doesn't take things onboard speedily!

I just hope that Stevenage don't know yet to put 3 men on Rooney and let Tarkowski come out with the ball at all times!

Latics, best supported away team in League 1, if you need evidence just look today at Anfield. Lets get behind the lads, sing our hearts out, call the referee a barsteward, tell Suarez how big his teeth are and cheer JCH every time he turns their centre backs and go crazy when we score (first, hopefully!) and get voted best away supporters of the season, as we were last year by Everton fans! KTF

If u cannot feel it, then poor u!

Who on earth wanted Tarky released in May?

Totally agree Harry, best thing we have done since Joe was appointed!

So Sidney must play, ha!

Why, have you mentioned it before?

And Notts County will go down too, so that's 2 going

Agreed even if the cup reply goes to penalties!

I am pleasantly surprised by the replies which seem to agree that we do have potentially a very talented and fast player in Sidney and if used correctly, i.e. told not to defend in our half, he might turn into a good 'un. He does need some game time though to enable him to begin to make better choices, and i agree that is better away, not just so he can obviously play on the break, but also so that he can try a few tricks and dummies without listening to any (or many) moaners who berate him for not playing a square pass. Cheers KTF!

I have every faith or at least a great deal of hope that there is a good player in Sidney (no rude sexual comments please!) and he is back in the squad, so lets hope that he turns some of his considerable talent into an end product, starting hopefully tomorrow! Tin hat on. Onwards and Upwards.

Agreed The Queen Anne might be your best bet, especially since they have 5 tvs inside and 1 in the beer garden, if it turns into a warm Gawbie evening!

Some good points there Bosh, but they do seem to add up to us not having anything better so we must make do! I wasn't bothered about Baxter going as he was as poor defensively as Wes is when attacking but I exclude Winchester and Rodgers from my thoughts as I cannot see them providing solutions and Mellor does have some potential but is not very mobile so doesn't show often! If we then move on to Sidney, it is up to the midfield to push us forward and give him the ball. Philliskirk is an inside forward whom some (not you) seem to think answers our problems in midfield. I want to watch a midfielder with some element of skill and progressive thinking not a ball winner (water carrier) playing in front of a very good defensive midfielder. I think that is where our problems are in what could be a very good team that is currently suffering from injuries/suspensions and a poor Rooney.

So you justify his performance but then highlight his errors, is that some kind of inverted compliment? Then you say that he threw himself into everything as if that is a good thing for a midfield player, WTF did he offer constructively going forward? As always nothing, in my opinion. I wouldn't mind if these fans who think that Wes justifies his place ever came up with something constructive but they never do! He is the problem with this team and I have been saying it for ages.

So he was crap when we were winning and people (others) were not complaining, so what, does that invalidate any discussion! MOTM awards please point them out because I must have missed those, and awarded by whom, people who are 'football experts?' If you think it was a disappointing result then yes, on the lottery of penalties. If you looked elsewhere I have actually complimented Chesterfield on the way that they played as it was much better than Mansfield and we didn't do enough to win. Why didn't we do enough to win, well I have offered my opinion and your constructive criticism is what exactly? I am just rechecking your post!

:censored:e, signed up for BT b4 I knew that! I nearly feel obliged to send the £31 to you for Xmas now!

We are all no doubt gutted about losing out to a chance of going to Wembley, but I want to congratulate Chesterfield in coming and actually playing football and going through on the lottery that is penalties! Beats the dross long ball :censored:e of Bratford and Mansfield!

What was my wife doing at Boundary Park?

Perhaps LJ should sit in my seat then. You seem to constantly require reference from others quoting Smith and now LJ, discuss the facts! Wes treats the ball 'as a hot potato' that is not a bad attribute for a centre half or even a full back but look up the definition of a midfield player. I am sure that you will find it involves a 50/50 mix of defensive strength and attacking creativity; QED by definition it is! Attacking creativity 'my ass!' he has been conning people, by his chasing and harassing, which are not in doubt, but attack wise, we have now faced division 4 teams and he has done little to justify his wage. If you and others are fooled by him then so be it, but I am not! Go involve another in your next reply because you will not win this discussion on facts! (Oh and don't mention his 1 shot on target in the last 2 years)

The defender was sat on the ground. Matteo went to chip it, the defender then raised his hands, 100% pen!

Wrong because it doesn't work! If you needed proof it was there to see tonight.

1. Yes 2. Opinion 3 Specsavers, oh perhaps you mean Anton Rogers, who is a poor mans Wes-that still doesn't make Wes any good!
