    Burton at home match threat

    Since no one started one, i thought i might as well get the ball rolling for tomorrows game. Burton come into this in horrible form with no wins, 1 draw and 6 loses in their last 7 games. Some of those games were 6 pointers too, so they really have been in free fall, but aren't in the drop...

    Fans Fund Consultation Recap

    Hi everyone, i attended the Fans Fund consultation last night it lasted about 2 and a half hours. There were probably about 20 fans there along with a number of people from the club. We had a presentation of the new scheme and were able to ask questions as we went. There was a lot of...

    Team for Stevenage

    What would everyone want to see the line up be for Saturday at Stevenage? It's hard at the moment as it feels like everyone is off form but I think after the last run of games I think we have to focus on competing in the middle of the pitch. The wing backs were probably an attempt to do that...

    Team for Portsmouth

    After the last result i think it's fair to say that the team is going to change for the Portsmouth game. What formation and who do you want to see picked? I think i'd go to wing backs and have Hughes and Rekik given license to overlap and join attacks. Completely change the cente mid pairing...

    Wage bill

    According to the Athletic interview with Maloney our wage bill last season was 18m, last time we were in L1 it was 8m and it is now 4m. 18m for the squad we had last season was ludicrous. We did have a very good squad in L1 last time but 8m was over the odds for what we had. The year we had...

    Player of the month

    Charlie Wyke has won player of the month for L1 in August. I'm sure that is a nice personal award for any player under normal circumstances, but considering the last couple of years he's had it must feel like a massive achievement.

    New captain

    Maloney has confirmed Magennis as the new captain and Lang as vice captain. I was initially suprised but when you look at how young and how many new players there are Magennis is one of the few senior players left. He's also apparently a big character in the dressing room and popular with the...

    Maloney on GMR

    Maloney did a phone in on GMR, it's worth a listen. A few main points he mentioned if you've not got time to listen: The appeal against points deduction has failed. We definitely start on -8. The players who handed in notice did it directly before Danson bought the club. Maloney wished they'd...

    Tranmere Friendly

    I went on Friday night but didn't have a chance to write anything before now, I'd not seen much about the game from anyone else so for anyone interested here's a recap of what i thoughtit was like. The team started 4-2-3-1 like we did against Everton, with 'inverted full backs' with McHugh and...

    Latics and Warriors working together

    Just saw this, Latics and Warriors working together to promote a good service for the community. I heard that Warriors were keen to try and collaborate more with Latics but the previous ownership never responded to anything. Now we've got some shared ownership hopefully they can start to do...

    United we stand, divided we fall

    Caroline Moleneux from the supporters club has been saying she is distraught about the abuse she is getting. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on the SC and their handling of the situation past and present and i think you can be critical of the SC without messaging abuse directly to the...

    Caulker podcast

    For anyone interseted Caulker appeared on the Under the Cosh podcast recently. He talks a little bit about signing for us at around 1h 37m. Link below. I believe this was recorded before the wages were missed. It was interesting, but not surprising to hear that the previous late wages initially...

    Stay or go

    We have 17 contracted players next season and Maloney said he's going to include a large number of academy graduates. So I think it's reasonable to assume we may stick with just that number of senior players. So if we only have 17 spots open who do you want to keep knowing we have to leave...

Hughes 3 Kerr 4. Pearce 5. Robinson 6. Naylor 7. Shinnie 8. McGrath 9. Lang 10. Aasgaard 11. Scully...

    Next seasons budget

    I was thinking about the plan is to only spend 2m more than we have in revenue and had a look at what that means looking at our L1 accounts. I'm no expert at reading accounts and the way different clubs do them are not exactly the same, so happy to be corrected on any of this if i've misread or...
