Quite simple really for me:
1) If, by some miracle, we stay up, I want Boreham Wood and Halifax up as I reckon they’d be favourites to go back down again
2) If, as expected, we go down, I want Wrexham and Stockport up to give us the best chance possible of coming straight back up (won’t happen...
Bahamboula has been crap for a while now but is our only creative outlet and should be starting. He, along with our young lads Couto and Vaughan are our best and most saleable assets. All 3 have sat on the bench in our last two games so can only assume they’re all on their way.
22 is Diarra -...
This could pretty much describe 90% of our matches this season, it’s such a hard watch. We are proper toss, but then everyone else seems to be too. Swindon, Vale and Orient remain the only competent teams I’ve seen. And worse than that, the football is so turgid. It really is a slog down at the...
Aye - last 30 mins were disgraceful. We need 8-9 wins and last night was an opportunity against another side near the bottom but we timewasted and showed no intention of winning. Deserved the flak they got.
Bans rescinded, though the tone in the statement once again highlights the arrogance of these people. ‘We can’t really tell you what it is that you did wrong but, err, here’s a final written warning and, err, don’t do it again’.
Yes. Burnley, Everton and Man C are rumoured to be interested in our youngster and only bright spark Harry Vaughan. Only positive is it would be one step closer to paying off the loan and removing our embargo. While we’re under the embargo we have no hope. Can’t see how we’ll be able to...
While this is probably the lowest that those at the club have stooped, it appears to have had a galvanising effect and brought the fan base closer together. The response from fans of other clubs has also been quite heartwarming. A line has been crossed which I think has resonated with all...
The club have reached a new low today and have sent 3 year banning orders to 2 of our most loyal supporters (one of which is a director of the trust - an organisation which owns 3% of the club) for being vocally critical of the club and the way it is run. All very Oyston-esque. Also I’m sure...
As if anything could make me more pissed off with football at the moment, Latics go and do that in a game that we’re all boycotting. Great point like but ffs.
Think we’re still under an embargo which will prevent us from signing anyone unless we let a few go. Even then we’re only able to sign players on £800pw or less I believe. Little to no chance of us making any squad improvements under those conditions. Back in the bottom two now and hard to see a...

Funny you say that - he was a running joke for a long time amongst Latics fans for being so bad. He has improved slightly and is now our longest serving player which says a lot. He’s got pace but not a great deal else but can see how he’d look good over a 10 minute cameo.
Having said all this...
McGahey and Clarke both look good in spells but we let in a lot of goals. Part of that is the system we play which is down to Curle. Both have been injured already, yeah.
Adams was good and still has a decent delivery but is 35 now and not what he was. Keillor-Dunn scores good goals but drifts...
Lads, I said it at the start of the season and I’ll say it again - who are these supposedly good players we’ve got? They’re mostly crocks (as has been proven by most of them already having had spells on the sidelines). The squad is also very unbalanced - we don’t have a centre forward. We look...
As above, Piergianni is, at best, a bang average league 2 defender. He gets stuck in, wins most aerial duals and gets his fair share of blocks but positionally he’s not good, lacks pace and his distribution is dreadful. I’ve got time for him because he does at least try but there’s a reason...
