All these critics and tacticians wouldn't it be piss funny if we actually went up!!!

Just a thought but has there been any improvements with the new coach. I can think of set pieces but not much more.

Agree. John Ritson a good example of this. Dependable, solid player, nice guy, you wouldn’t want to let him down.

We are playing better which augers well for the play offs, however remember Wrexham away when the footballing gods were with us. Slightly twitchy about Blackpool though. Ref was a shocker, he didn't pick up the vibe of the game. He made at least a dozen glaring errors. No consistency at all. Congratulations to Portsmouth they have found a way to grind out the results, but will need a big overhaul for next season. Reference Plymouth. Watched on Wanderers TV today, nice to see Toaly and George taking charge of the huddle. Comparisons with Neal are interesting, progress but slower than expectations. Can also compare with Greaves, method was everything but he did finally get us there. Evatt personality wise we don't have to like him, as long as he progresses the team on the field then liking him doesn't really matter. Allardyce was full of himself, but was our best modern day manager by a country mile.

The biggest problem today is that we lacked self belief. Which is worrying when you consider the position we are in.

This game reminded me of a game at Mollinuex in the late 70s where we dominated but lost that game 1-0 too. There was a frosting of snow on the pitch and at half time the Wolves side was green and ours still white. Wolves won promotion that year and we didn’t. Let’s face it their keeper had a blinder and a young talented player left his man and we paid the price, I don’t think he will be doing it again. Ian Greaves’ side has a similar style and philosophy to the current one, for both Managers the method was everything. It took three seasons to gain promotion to the then First division. The board kept faith with Greaves and were rewarded in the end. Taking the emotions out of it I am sure IF we do fail to win promotion the board will do the same.

nervous but strangely confident

They are a bogey team. Will be happy with a point. If we lose we will still have a chance of automatic promotion. Still a lot of points to play for.

Our defence is under pressure as we quite simply do not convert enough chances/half chances. Mcginlay alluded to it at the end of half time, apparently we shouldn't have been 3 up. Their goals, yes the first a keeper error, but wonderful finishes, especially the second.

Ref following the ball, not picking up these snide little digs off the ball, liners and 4th official should do though, Collins playing on his heels needs to be on his toes. We have done well to keep our cool. As with Cambridge we are finding spaces in between their defenders but final ball needs to be better.

Just need to improve our crossing. We are re finding space in between their defence.

We were in the mire financially so a few good ones left including Wilson, most notably Paul Jones also to Huddersfield

Met Chris Thompson when he presented our trophies for winning the Chorley Sunday League. He was a really nice bloke .

Some talented youngsters have melted away over the years. Remember David Hoggan, remember him marrying a mates ex and ended up in the states. Not sure what happened after that.

Vic petulant George reckless Dempsey erratic we miss Rico Their manager needs twatting And yes we can still win this

Are they Swiss or is it a company just registered in Switzerland

Looks a good signing. Someone will be off though, don't think it will be Charles. Bruce Rioch said he wanted four good strikers, Walker, Mcginlay, Coyle and Mixu. Are we getting towards that kind of quality??

agree both replacement strikers hold the ball up better than the starters

Remember the days when we were just happy to have a football club

Jerome is way past his best but has a first touch and an intelligence to his game that Dion and Vic can only dream about

Uriah Rennie what a brilliant ref

chuffed for the lad

Black Sunday (Sorry) matched David Lee for pace in front of the Manny Rd, knew he was a good un then. FWIW played his best attacking football for Forest. Knew someone who (when playing at Forest) gave Birtles some earache in a club in Manchester. Keane was right in there, deffo not someone to mess with. Mad Eyes. Hated him for United but don't mind him as a pundit, not frightened of giving the Rags a dressing down. Don't like Wright though!!!
