Hi all. The site I use to upload the tables once I've converted them to jpeg has gone down. It looks as though it's removed the tables from previous posts as well; at least they've buggered off from my laptop, anyway. It simply means I'll have to use something else (probably Photobucket ) and then go back through the ones I've saved to get players' previous positions to illustrate their </> movement. Bear with me; I'll try to get it done before tomorrow night's match.

I feel so sorry for all of you that were there; it was bad enough listening to it on iFollow. The place sounded like a morgue when it should have been bouncing. But, for it to bounce, there has to be something on the pitch to create that. There obviously wasn't. We all know we haven't got the greatest squad in the world but, by Christ, it's surely good enough to be challenging nearer the top of the table. But it won't unless we start going at teams. I thought we were going 4-4-2 with Lang and O'Grady up top, not O'Grady on his own. Just doesn't make sense. Clarke has a brain fart and that's enough for a bruised and battered Port Vale side to take 3 points? What does that say about our performance? Something has to change, and quick, or we will be scrapping to stay up. I'm not sure a change of manager is the answer, but Frankie needs to grow a pair and get this team going for the opposition's throat. I'll be at Stevenage in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to see something to cheer me up, football wise, but I'm genuinely concerned that this current trend is going to continue. On the bright side, because I've not managed a home game yet, I've not seen us lose this season.

Just goes to show how wrong you can be. Don't take up psychology in your studies; you're not very good at it.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who has even hinted that everything is ok. Tell us how you feel things are, but don't elasticise things to suit your agenda.

Oooh. Just 1 short.

Nepomuceno on for Branger

Branger-Engone in place of Maouche

Jesus. What's going on?

Well, ain't that just what we need. No Miller or Taylor either. Or De La Paz, oddly enough.

Hmm, it's getting expensive. I'll pop a small donation over in a day or two.

Latics 3-1 Port Vale (HT 2-0) - Lang - 4,472

Ackey, could you please give us an idea what the annual cost of running the site is? Maybe, if that is split across the board (pun intended), it may not be too daunting a request per person.

Good luck to the lad. I hope he finds success in whatever he chooses to do.

Didn't Andy Goram once binge on burgers and chips while he was with us? First time around, of course. Second time around, he probably boosted the coffers of McDonald's and Burger King by about 500%. Daily.

Stevenage tickets bought, parking sorted, job done.

Did you see Rashford last night? If Nepo's effort was pathetic, how do you rate Rashford's? I could have wafted the first one in with my cap.

Beyond belief, even if it's meant to be funny. Which it isn't.

Cheers Al. That clears that up, then. Let's hope we keep him here. Anyone volunteering to kidnap him on New Year's Day?

Make that 7

It is a season long loan. I have a feeling that they can't call him back, but I'll stand to be corrected.

Charlton have stuck 6 past Stevenage as well

Are you sure we're listening to a Latics game? And it sounds like Maouche and O'Grady are having cracking gmes.

It doesn't matter a jot to us, but Shrewsbury have just tonked Tranmere 6-0 in the Kickabout Cup

2 assists, eh?
