    I got the feeling yesterday that Joe and Darren Royle feel they are untouchable. Joe pretty much scowled at the fans who suggested to him that his pal should be relieved of his duties. Darren and Luke Rothwell stood up at the back didn’t look best pleased either. 
    It’s about time the organ grinder stepped up to the plate, and if the lackeys don’t like it, then they can clear off for me too.

    Chester are knocking on a thousand tickets sold so far. I would say we will have 1750-2000 there on Saturday.

    That wasn’t intended as a disrespectful comment btw. We’re shite at the minute so I can’t see very many tipping up for an extra dose of despair down at BP. Nothing to do with the oppo

    Thought I’d mark the players out of 10…..

     

    Norman; None of the goals were his fault but he has mastered the art of overhitting pointless kicks out of play on both side of the pitch….still, congratulations to Magnus..tonight’s MOM with a superb 4/10

     

    Okagbue; ..been trying to work out if his name is an anagram of “er, ok, bye!” It isn’t but we should say ‘bye 1/10

     

    McGahey; Looks like a pub player, plays like a pub player but not good enough to get a start in most pub teams so has dropped down to our level 1/10

     

    Sheron; Captain not so fantastic, had his defensive line and midfield perfectly drilled in the new Oldham Athletic “sieve” formation 2/10 

     

    Wellens; I assume he was adopted because there is no Wellens DNA in there…either that or it has skipped a generation and we should sign his unborn Son 2/10

     

    Threlkeld; Looks like a Viking plays like a ….nah, nothing rhymes. He’s just not very good 2/10

     

    Stobbs; I felt our fans may have been a tad unfair on him so decided to really watch him during tonight’s match….had to stop though after 15 mins because it was hurting my eyes. 1/10 (should probably be 0 but I gave him one of Fondop’)

     

    Roberts; Managed to help create the largest gap between our defence and midfield and our forward line (or Fondop’ head as we call our forward line) 2/10

     

    Cooper; I can’t really think of anything to say about him tbh other than the above 2/10

     

    Fondop; He is the focal point of all our attacks…well, to the extent that we lump the ball up to him and he flicks it on for Owen Doyle to run in behind and finish…it’s a genius plan, lacking only one thing….Owen Doyle 2/10 (would have got 3 marks for effort but I docked him 1 for nearly getting sent off at the end…he should have been but the Ref was feeling sorry for us)

     

    Tollit; He looked lively at Torquay when I first saw him but is so lightweight that he makes DKD look like Sean Gregan 2/10

     

    Subs

    McGlynn; Almost the dream start, first touch he glides past two defenders and storms forward with only the keeper to beat and the Woking defenders desperately pursuing him, he ignores the Latics player to his right and calmly scuffs the ball at snails pace ten yards wide of the post….after that he fitted in perfectly and did almost nothing…he’s probably checking what day he goes back to Burnley, not long Joe, don’t worry lad. 1/10 that initial touch was worth the 1

     

    Clarke; Came on to steady the ship after McGahey was hauled off for giving away the 3rd goal. With Clarke on we looked rock solid at the back…….nah, only kidding, it was worse of-course 1/10

     

    Burgess; Not sure if he touched the ball but then again he was only on the pitch for 20 mins 2/10

     

    Sheridan; People suggesting he should retire…I think he already has without telling anyone officially 0/10

     

    Fans; We went to a league game on a wet Tuesday night in fucking Woking and got battered. Beautifully observed the 1 minutes silence for the Queen and then impressively maintained it for the remaining 90 minutes!

    250/1950

     

     

    Reads well that and sounds like an accurate assessment, fair play 

    Ex players and that

    Watford have severely disrespected the competition tonight. 3 first team players in the whole squad of 18. What happened to having to play 5 of the team from the previous game etc?

    The FA have shafted them a bit to be fair by making them play 48 hours after a league match. But yeah I’m sure they could have wheeled a few first teamers out
