Looking at that Latics team we had 2 full backs playing at centre back who to my recollection never played there before or after, so perhaps no surprise we conceded so many.

Doesn't it just bring back those memories  -  there was something really special about the Johnstone, Lister, Frizzell years.

Who came after McDowell Pete?

Gordon Hurst very briefly. Then Bates wanted a “name” so Jimmy McIlroy. Jack Rowley then returned before Frizzell as acting then permanent. Turned out ok didn’t  it?

Gordon Hurst.  Not a name that means anything to me.  His successor, Jimmy McIlroy, was in the hot seat when I made my debut

 

From what I heard Jimmy McIlroy was far too nice to be a manager.

Away fans in a top tier family stand not behind one goal I think with a very good views of the pitch.

You might need to hit the bar more if we suffer a Bournemouth like defeat.😆

I wasn't a  local last tie we played there and travelled from London.  By getting off one stop early at Manningtree and getting the next train we made a useful saving n the fare.  Leaving the Manningtree station buffet was quite a  wrench on a cold night:
