    Tuesday 1st, Saturday 5th games....

    Terrible first 30 mins with 3 players out of position and the ineffective 4-2-3-1. Oxford passed it around well but apart from the goal which was a great counter attack from our corner I think, thankfully they didn't create anything else. Switch to 4-3-3 just after 30 mins. Power moved from RB...

    No idea, since Cook left Ipswich it's like Richardson has turned into Cook. Gone more negative and stubborn and picking favourites rather than the best players.

    Oxford will win. Playing a really weak team and a formation that doesn't work. Seberal players out of position. Really don't get it. Bench looks strong. I thought the purpose of a weaker team against Cheltenham was so we could go full strength today? Wasted opportunity tonight.

    Please no 4-2-3-1, the reason behind our lacklustre home performances were individual magic has bailed us out. 3-4-2-1 and add some width the stretch teams and go for it tonight.

    Sounds as though there was no truth in it as it's Jamie McGrath that we are signing. Sounds like it could be a great piece of business. Heard Cardiff were in big trouble financially and accepting an offer 50% less than one they received in the Summer would indicate that.

    Could be a while. Free transfer initially as Everton are over 20m above FFP. Be interesting to see if the Premier League has the bottle to deduct points in line with EFL clubs getting deductions for the same offence. Apparently first fee Everton would pay is after 20 games. If he is a flop after...

    Mad stuff. He was effective for us at the top because he had good footwork and was good at high pressing against, we got a few goals were he knicked the ball of the defenders. Always tracked back well too. Either thr Cowleys have had a funny turn or maybe due to injuries over the past 2 years...

    Annual Accounts

    Sorry didn't explain it as well as I could have. Due to the EFL withholding transfer fees due and other money then the accounts for the last 2 years are a but messy and dont get released. What this meant was we received 8m+ in transfer money this summer, 4m we should have got 12 months ago...

    Excellent player Dan Burn. Not surprised to see him play in the Premier League for several years. Decent technically for a tall lad too. Hopefully Kieffer Moore goes for a decent fee too to get another 1-2m in which would give us a few million to play with in the Summer.

    If Portsmouth play Jacobs more they would be a decent top 6 threat but for some reason he is constantly omitted? Even if he starts a lot now could be too late. I think the top 6 look very good and could take 80+ points to make the play offs this season.

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    Don't think Johnson is the answer for Sunderland long term but their team is ridiculously young. The defence is inexperience. Most of the season they have had 2 teenagers playing their first season in the professional game as well as a central midfielder there. Central midfield looks a but...

    Annual Accounts

    No accounts for us due to being in admin but we raised about 10m above the normal outgoings as we had to pay bills due upto 2023 in advance. So we would have had a profit of around 10m or so. With a lot of money left over, gives us plenty of room to manouvere this season.

    We have only played you recently for the first time in our history in the league, we had a Saturday late 2014 the only one before 2016 and I was going but didnt when I saw the price, this season first time I have seen it fair when in the same division. Always took decent followings to Sheff...

    Be ticket prices surely, in The Championship whenever we played Sheff Wed if was mid to late 30s I seem to remember, I boycotted it as a result despite really wanting to visit Hillsborough, we have always taken low followings there as a result as Wiganers do not like being ripped off. So I...

    EFL Trophy

    The kids had a solid enough game. Jones had 1 very good save but apart from that it was, pass, pass, pass by the Arsenal kids and trying to pass it in the net, then not being able to shoot and knocking back for someone to hammer a 30 yard shot into row z. Imagine their possession stats were big...

    EFL Trophy

    To be fair, every chance we could win. We have one of the best youth teams in the country and got a lot of internationals at that level.

    EFL Trophy

    Full focus on the league for me. So hope the kids give a good account of themselves but we bow out. Bennett would be first team when fit to be fair but been out for 12 months with knee ligaments. Was a top Chapionship left back and not not too old.

    Welcome Derby County to League 1

    Apparently getting a special government grant of 20m to cover the HMRC bill. Qn astonishing move which isn't available to the other 91 clubs in the football league. Why should tax payers give 20m to one club but the others nothing? Every other club in administration has to pay HMRC in full and...

    A few players missing and a couple out of position along with a negative formation. Looks like we are doing our best to give Gillingham a result today.

    Sold out just over 1k for Cheltenham quite quickly, is that the lot or can more be given?
