BPAS Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Latics finished January unbeaten in the league, with two wins and two draws, that's decent, we'll take that. Are we seeing a corner turned? Are the new signings making us a much more solid outfit? Are we much fitter and better focused? We discuss these things, as well as the situation on the sale of the ground with Paul Whitehead, former member of the "FLG". One for Big Bazza this...

basilrobbie Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I enjoyed that. The most interesting thing was the underlying mood - I don't think I have listened to a single Pod that was based on cautious optimism, but that was what came through in this one. I agree about February. Often the most important and pivotal year in a team's season. We are in much the same boat as you - loads of games coming thick and fast, some pretty winnable ones too.

Hemel latic Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 A good listen as always, although I'm not sure the floodlight discussion will make the highlight reel The fan guest said he thought we'd start next season with around 17 members of the current squad. I'm struggling to get beyond 12/13: Norman; Kitching, Couto, Sutton, Hogan; Tollitt, Shelton, Sheron, Gardner (2nd year of contract), Rooney; Reid, Nuttall and Fondop. Is there an expectation that we'll sign the three players on season long loans ( P. Clarke, Abraham an Chapman)? An assumption that we'll sign Varney on longish contract terms? Are the rest made up of youngsters? I don't think Joe Edwards has got off the bench this season but I note he was on trial at Hull before Vaughan. Ah, Burgess and Windass are on two year contracts, that takes us to 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the majority of summer additions improve the quality and balance of the match day squad. If that happens I'd expect us to be comfortably top 7 next season.

The loud drunks have made away games quite toxic at times this season... Just before kickoff, one of the more well known ‘loud drunks’ came onto the terraces behind me at Aldershot last Saturday. He had obviously had a few. His first ‘chant’ was to have a go at Unsworth before he settled down and got behind the team. Despite the overly cautious approach from the team on the day, the atmosphere never got toxic - possibly due to the home fans providing a diversion throughout the game.
