We beat them 6-0 in the semi final of the same competition in 1990. Mad.

Always been partial to this one...

Because we press a lot, we'll force just about every team to play direct, they'll find it difficult to play through us with our high energy. Stupid that today, fun to get those late goals though. Super Sammy Surridge, 7 goals in 7 games, what a lad.

Biggest L2 away win since Lincoln 0-6 Rotherham in March 2011! Wow!

Such a weird one that. Surely it's either a red card offence or it isn't? I can't remember a 2 match ban becoming a 3 match ban like that before.

It's something to do with the Trophy no longer being classed as a first team competition since the Prem B teams were introduced. So Jones is banned from all football until 3 real first team matches have been played.

Nice one. Yeah, I quite like how BP looks these days, a good old hodgepodge of a football stadium. The weather has picked up, should be a good day for it. Enjoy your day!

Yeah, Pringle's legs have gone after a bad injury he had. Still has decent footballing intelligence, but no pace or agility to his game at all. I'd say League Two is his level now, from what I saw. Jack Byrne has been let go after being ostracised from the first team since early in pre-season...

Aye, just referencing the song we sing to the tune of Joy Division whenever we take any decent amount away.

The timing of our sacking of Wellens seemed slightly odd, but looks like the correct decision was made. The new man has given us some steel and turned round the losing mentality. We've not played great yet, but I don't think a Wellens side would have us on 8 points so far. Fingers crossed for yous.

Shrimps fans must be absolutely gutted after that. We couldn't have complained if we hadn't won. BUT it's about putting the ball in the back of the net, and that's something Morecambe are struggling to do this season. And we showed a lot of desire to keep a clean sheet with some of the defending...

Not sure if what I'm saying is accurate, but as well as behind one goal, and a section of the main stand, I think we might have a bit of the side terrace? Either way, it'll be a nice boost to the new players especially to see such strong support. I'm looking forward to it, first league meeting...

Mills was genuinely fantastic for us in a loan spell, then we signed him, and he was... not. So he certainly has the potential to be a top L1 player I'd say!

Already sold 1600 as of yesterday, I reckon the last 150 will go today! If we're going to do any good this season, we'll win this game. Shrimps are missing their goalie Barry Roche after his sending off, hopefully we give his understudy a severe test.

Baxter still not fit enough to start, but 3 return after injury, including Peter Clarke's first appearance of the season and a debut for Andy Taylor! New loan signing Callum Lang has to make do with a place on the bench. :bravo:

Yes, very true, risks looking foolish if financial troubles rear their head again. But knowing what we do about Simon Corney's latter years at Latics, including dodgy looking loans and not paying creditors whenever possible (Wigan didn't want to loan us Callum Lang due to our tarnished...

I agree we'll still be 4-4-2, but if Baxter is available, it opens up the avenue of a diamond with Jose Baxter at the head of it. He could of course play as one of the two strikers, but he never stays at the top of the pitch, and would result in more of a 4-4-1-1, which would be disappointing...

This week Abdallah put out a statement, readable here essentially blaming previous owner Simon Corney for payment problems, and saying we're now on a firm footing to build for the long-term future. He has also dismissed Craig Davies' comments made after leaving, and while I'm not absolving...

To satisfy EFL stadium requirements. Accrington installed an odd amount of seats a few years ago for the same reason. Oldham fans have gone doolally after yesterday. Getting that familiar depressing feeling that drove me away from liking football over the past two years.
