Ray Gooding hasn't been with us for years.

Well, opinions may have softened since with the benefit of hindsight, but he was routinely abused by our own supporters during his time here.

Stern John was one of our best players since relegation from the Premier League.

Wouldn't go quite as far as shit but he definitely wasn't particularly good & massively overrated due to his silly song & kamikaze runs which always came to nothing anyway.

Yeah, knew about Johnson coming in after the window but assumed he was to be Chief Scout & Austin as Head of Recruitment; not sure about the DoF thing tbh. https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/transfer-shouts.142303/post-2676173

It's all the same source who has been wrong hundreds of times over isn't it?

The stats sites are great for stats, not great for player ratings. Simple as that.

Classic deflection. None of their fans are even buying it though. He also said "It was a very even game.” 🤣

Didn't really show it too much yesterday but he's better on the ball too imo.

Their fans did applaud him off when subbed tbf. He was popular there.

Very good & I expect he'll get even better with games too. He played within himself a little imo, choosing the safe option with his passing etc. He has a lot more in his locker which I'm sure we'll get to see as he gets fitter & used to the way we play.

Someone ought to tell their manager then, that's his quote from this morning.

Oh no he isn't... Is it still panto season?

In fairness, I can't imagine we were ever in the race for Gelhardt. He's on £25k p/w at Leeds who were demanding the majority of that to be covered. As good as he is I'm not sure that's something we were ever likely to be in for considering our position.

If you were somehow expecting a prolific Championship goalscorer in the January window on a free transfer then yes, I can see why you'd feel disappointed but you might want to check your expectations a little. Maguire isn't that sort of player, he's a hard working, link play forward who could...

Yep. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/next-wigan-manager-kolo-toure-28528053

Not mutually exclusive.

The barmiest thing about it all is they actually wanted Yaya but he wasn't interested so they just went "Oh well, we'll just have his brother then". Absolute basket case club.

It didn't. It hit Armstrong's own knee after his arm. Can see it pretty clearly from this angle. It's the correct decision.
