Scored probably the quickest penalty in the history of football and the rest of the half was atrocious. Deserved equaliser for Macc.
Need to step it up this half otherwise they’ll beat us for sure.
Another must-win game for us if we want to get into those playoffs, against a side who've improved under the insufferable Sol Campbell.
Couple of foreign recruits have come in this week, though I don't expect the defender to start. Hoping the Spanish lad is the next Juan Ugarte...
Iversen...
Latics have signed 31 year old former La Liga striker Urko Vera til the end of the season.

Just 100 left for Macclesfield this weekend.
Sold almost 2000 for the dreadfully dull trip to Doncaster next week. Honestly didn’t think this would sell that well given we seem to play the fuckers every year no matter what the competition, but looks like we might well shift the full 3k allocation.
Considering our away support is, IMO, the best in the league for generating noise and atmosphere, at home it's absolutely bobbins. I put it down to BP being a dump in the main (aside from the JR Stand) and the fact we've not had a decent stretch of home form for fucking donkeys' years.
I thought first half FGR were excellent, best side I’ve seen this season tbh.
2nd half was quite even and we should have won it at the end when Baxter squared over from 6 yards.
Be surprised if FGR aren’t challenging this season. Good side, lots of ex Latics, no complaints.
He's shot IMO. Even in his better days he coasted for too many rounds, sat on the ropes, and that's bread and butter for a pressure fighter like Eubank, whether you have better skills or not. I just don't think Degale has the fitness or drive in him any more and is just chasing money fights...
