Fair play to Millwall, but our defending has been uncharacteristically bad. Morison is a good player with decent movement of course but to give him two free headers, in those positions, is poor. I'm not sure 'Wall have been "much better" - neither keeper has had much to do apart from the goals...

You may have a good home record, but those 3 league defeats were all against teams in the top 6 i.e. the teams sat around Walsall. In fact, as far as I can see you've only beaten one (admittedly Wigan) of the top 9 at home this season. Walsall also happen to have the best away record in the...

Why the cheap shot? No, those results don't make me smile. The fact you've lost to us 4 times in a row without scoring does, though. There, have it back. Recent ones I could file under this category: beating Leeds 2-1 in the League Cup, the 4-2 win at Chelsea, 3-1 against Villa, beating Arsenal...

Finally, an official figure for us at Blackpool - 3,063 (according to an attendance thread on the Blackpool forum).

Yet you're the only team ever to win the FA Cup and get relegated in the same season. Not the most enviable record to have - plus you were a EPL team at the time, yes it was an upset to beat Man City but hardly a huge shock. I'd also add you only had to beat one EPL team in reaching the final...

1365 is the figure that Fleetwood put on their own scoreboard, but feel free to accuse us of overstating (by a massive 12 people). I just had to check - our game there was on September 12th, taken your time to complain, haven't you?

Don't think any of us have been suggesting we've been anything but off it recently in terms of team performances. 'Dire' is perhaps a bit harsh though. Yes, you brought 160 less - in August, when you were unbeaten and if I remember rightly your fans suggesting at the time you were playing great...

Sorry, what? (i) Home v away % is one way (albeit flawed) of looking at attendances, but I don't see you giving Sheff Utd shit about it - yet their % is only a small amount above ours. That's not having a go at Blades BTW. I'd suggest a c1500 average away support to date in this league is good...

Coventry away is on a Tuesday night this season as well (19th April). Accepting we're not playing scintillating football on the whole at the moment, we're 3 points off 6th with 2 games in hand. Surely we're in with a decent shout?

If we're doing well (i.e. well into PO positions) in the second half of the season our followings for those longer away trips will likely go well above what we'd take in say our current position or lower. As Walkley says, we also have still to go to Bury (believe we're coming close to selling...

Surprised at that - it's usually Lawn who comes up with anything like this, with Rhodes tending to stay quiet. Either way, what a pointless soundbite. I know Firthy has suggested 3k will travel but I'd be a bit surprised if we bring that many.

Fair enough, but I suppose what I'm getting at is that you were 13k down on your average nonetheless for a 3pm Saturday game - and it was that sort of drop we were getting stick for, with ours being 1st round, midweek and on TV (weren't the viewing public lucky with that one) to boot! Like I...

I think that's a reasonable-ish crowd for an early round FA Cup game vs a fellow L1 club. However, for the sake of balance I'm waiting for Darren Gregory and a few others to come on and give you absolute pelters for the massive drop in yesterday's attendance vs. your league average. I won't...

If by missed we mean didn't actually attend, then for me it's Wolves v City 1998/99 when we won 3-2 to get promoted to the PL on the last day. I'd been to most games that season home and away but missed the announcement of when tickets went on sale for the Wolves match and they sold out in no...

I'll agree that today's was under par (not sure why it was) but that aside, bit harsh?

I do think you have a chance with the appeal - watching the highlights it's right out towards the corner of the box and the striker's touch didn't take him directly towards goal, with at least one defender back covering in the middle. One of those I think where some refs would have chosen a...

Have we not played him as a striker in a number of those games? Don't get me wrong, I like Clarke and he did a good job last season but it's a bit of a misnomer to suggest he's got that record purely from midfield.

Do you have to pass some sort of test to be a 'true' fan? We get it, our home attendances are inflated by the cheap season tickets and clearly they don't travel. That said, per my last post re our numbers being largely dictated by form, if we were in your position (or higher) we'd be taking a...

This is the one that people like to beat us with. I don't always agree with Firthy's views but when he says it doesn't really mean much I think he's right. I said in a different post that we're equally capable of both excellent and poor away followings, for various reasons. We're certainly not...

I've just checked back through the 'October' thread started on the Claret & Banter board back in September (by 'wiganladd123'), where in one of the posts that 'person' states they've created a profile on this site under the very name you're posting under here. If that's not you who was on our...
