    Judgement of signings

    Chris Dagnall was a decent loannee for SP, as were Robinson and Prutton to start off with. Back to Cole, a lot was expected but putting that aside, his own performance has been in the soso camp not a failure, not his fault that shoehorning him into a winning team upset our balance and...

    Judgement of signings

    Surely Cole can't be described as a total failure? He has kept his head above water better than most. Some fans expected him to tear up the division but that was never fair.

    The 3 teams coming down from the Championship

    Think the top of league one will be weaker next season but the middle and bottom half will be more competitive. I think it'll be a really open season where any of a dozen teams could be competing for playoffs until late on.

    Bottom Half Finish

    I think you are probably right. Lower end Championship at most.

    The 3 teams coming down from the Championship

    Bristol Rovers, Oxford, Plymouth and Portsmouth are all teams who get bigger crowds than many teams in this league, particularly those northern ones where we struggle like Scunn, Bury, Rochdale. Tough away trips up north and more competitive teams in the south.

    The 3 teams coming down from the Championship

    Charlton are a complete mess and probably won't be in a position to dominate. MK are an ok side but hardly likely to be super strong. Bolton have got new owners and if anything they'll be the threat. I wouldn't say the league next season will be stronger than this. As long as it's...

    That's just 4 goals scored in the last 10 matches

    I was going to check this stat myself so you saved me the bother. Really makes you wonder what has gone on.

    Wigan Match Thread

    Plymouth and Bolton away, also probably back to Charlton and MK. And we'll be able to watch cov at sixfields with a clear conscience!

    Wigan Match Thread

    No chance will he leave all of Murphy, Arma and Maddison on the bench for this one! Will be more like: RCC, Phillips, Ricketts, Stephens, Martin, Fleck, Vincelot, Maddison, Jones, Arma, Tuddy. - 442 with Madders and Jones on the wing.

    Calling the ticket office

    The latter part of the sentence is irrelevant. Either there is working ticketline where you can ring up a human, or it's not available. None of this "she was serving a customer", I'm not calling up the village post office, we're supposed to be a serious club. Club shop told me that there was...

    Calling the ticket office

    All true, don't HAVE to...but it should bloody work!

    Contracted players. Is it that bad ?

    I'm not so sure...he's given him a good few chances. I wouldn't drop dead of surprise if he gets a new deal.

    Contracted players. Is it that bad ?

    I agree 100% but pigs may fly - the new signings will mostly be loanees no doubt. TM has said he expects to have maximum loans again nest year.

    Calling the ticket office

    They used to do that. We had an outsourced call centre in London I think. Remember being told by some clueless lad that I could get tickets in the south stand for a home game, asked him how that squared with his knowledge of the Ricoh...he said he'd never been and was a Man U fan! I did used to...

    Calling the ticket office

    Called the club and rang option 1 for the ticket office. On hold for 10 mins. Got bored and rang again, this time press 7 for general enquiries. Disconnected immediately. Tried again, same result. Rang the club shop - was told that there's only one person in the ticket office today and she's...

    Contracted players. Is it that bad ?

    I reckon he will re-sign at least one of Ricketts, Lorentzon or Phillips, for squad continuity reasons - the last few games will be a bit of a shoot-out to see who it'll be, hence AP playing at Gills. Same applies in attack - he'll probably keep one of Tudgay or Fortune (or, less likely...

    Chris Stokes off to the Championship

    Who says I'm angry? I'm not. Just pointing out that those pointing to the "option" meaning he'll definitely stay, overlooks the fact that we might accept a bid..

    Chris Stokes off to the Championship

    Well he may be offered a new deal, but his agent will be doing the rounds across the Champ circuit, pushing him to other clubs. As with Sambou, just cos we made an offer doesn't mean it won't be trumped by another club. I can see Forest for one coming in for him - Burton would be another...
