    Points Needed for Safety

    As a rule in a 24 team league 50 points is the point where you tend to be safe. 4 more wins will effectively get us there. Plus, remember our position. 11 teams are below us, for any one of those to overtake us by the end of the season they need to take points off others below us, pushing us...

    Yorky Bars v The Mintballs

    According to the York fans their pitch covers are good to -5 and the temp is bottoming out at -3 at the moment. Snow might make life interesting though

    Generally it's around 50 points to stay up, 60 to stay out of the relegation fight.

    Bolton

    Worth noting Morrisons full professional debut was on the opening day. He hadn't played a senior men's game before that. Managing fitness will be key. I'm also wondering if Charlie Hughes may be in line for an u21 call up at some point, we could see a scenario where we are short of both...

    Bolton

    The mental gymnastics on show in the match thread over there are extraordinary. Talking about getting any kind of win, hating Wigan town, ya de ya... But definitely NOT their rivals... Then this masterpiece

    Bolton

    Hands up, honestly who was expecting that today?! Genuinely had expected a close game with home advantage to shade it!

    Cumbrians v Lancastrians

    Humphrys needs to be kept as a striker. He doesn't track back enough out wide. Arguably his man that scored Vs Derby and his man that missed the open goal on Saturday

    LOAD OF COBBLERS

    I think they targeted 8 points from 6 games. That doesn't mean they expected it, or set expectations for results against X, Y and Z. I imagine they were looking to have the deficit cleared by the first international break. As it stands we're one of only 5 teams with a 100% record and we've...

    Cumbrians v Lancastrians

    Remember that, he came on and within 5 minutes had gone flying in to a tackle and got himself injured. Jon Routledge, a centre mid who was arguably the better player, also made his debut in that game. His career went downhill after he got homesick on loan at Ostersunds and, allegedly, came home...

    Wrexham v Latics on Sky

    There are, I think, but they are virtually impossible to enforce in the early part of the season. If I recall there are all sorts of adjustments for new signings, academy graduates and so on.

    Promotion Favourites v Relegation Favourites ( allegedly)

    Had completely written today's game off, pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I get the feeling we're going to be one of those horrible unpredictable teams this season. We've got a top half starting XI and a bottom half second XI. So we'll cause problems for the top teams some days and...

    Tickle #1 is good to see

    Summer Transfer Thread

    Looking forward to seeing Hughes, Kerr and Watts hitting some raking crossfield diagonals for pacy wingers. We're blessed with some defenders with exceptional passing range, problem was we had no one to exploit them last season.

    Summer Transfer Thread

    Don't need another striker, Wyke, Magennis, Humphrys, Lang, Stones and Sze can all play up front in different ways. Unlikely that we'll be in a position where the first three are unavailable that we rely on the young lads or playing Lang out of position. Right back depends on how good Maloney...

    I thought Le Fondre was well past it when he was here, that he's still playing and at a comparatively high level is staggering.
