They'll have too much speed and movement for us.  We'll either have a nervous wreck in nets or a half fit pensioner.

Rog will claim a result because no Wanderers fans can be seen in any pubs in Eccles, Prestwich or Salford.

A thoroughly dispiriting 0-3 defeat.

We're usually shite when on the telly 

How many times have we actually been good in a live on TV game?

Play off final v Preston.

Aston villa League cup semi 1st leg.

Cry at the Reebok v Leeds.

That game against spurs when bale was supposed to tear us a new one.

Think it was a cup game v arsenal , we only won 1-0 but Diouf was on fire.

Annd it took me a good while to think of them 5.

I keep wanting to use the term looking forward to - but it’s not that. Let’s say excitedly anticipating/dreading seeing this game on sky.

Few weekend evening beers, local derby, Reebok under lights and for once a decent picture, no buffering, no circle of death, decent commentators, a wide perspective camera angle(s) so I can get a proper, Dougie Freedman style, view of Baptiste’s work off the ball.

All set for a cracking evening game to a world wide audience 

0-3

I can't see anything other than us getting a beating.

I cant remember when we were last on TV but the season we went up we had the 4-0 v Gillingham and 2-0 at Bury and the promotion game v Peterbro.  I remember the two dire draws at PNE that were 0-0 and also 0-0 at Ewood being on Sky on Friday nights but we were no worse than them (good job the return games v PNE at home weren't on!).  Beat Villa in the snow.  Genuinely can't remember last TV game we lost.

Beat Wigan 3-1 on a Friday night in 2014.

When we beat Wigan 3-1 about six years ago and thought Lennon was the new messiah

And Max Clayton was going to be the next Andy Walker.  Chungy and Mark Davies were going to rip up that division and Craig Davies was going to be a combination of McGinlay and SKD in the air.  And Paddy Kenny was our sub keeper.

I think that's looking wide of the mark judging by all the decent TV games listed above.  I'd be interested to know when we last lost on TV, if anyone knows.

Peterborough 1-0 in the promotion season I think?

 

edit

Leeds beat us 1st game back up but not sure if that was the last time

Lost against WBA, Aston villa, Blackburn, Rotherham, stoke city all on TV since that Leeds game.

 

 

 

 

I can accept some of them games being on TV but who on Earth thought Bolton v Rotherham would entertain people. I have no recollection of a TV game against them.
