JOGLER

It looks like at least one of their (little) lot understands what is going on. 🙏 let it be!

Seems like they're beginning to know their place: TRUE BELIEVER said: Why not close the North and South stands and relocate those in the East over to the West allowing us to use the East for away supporters. ( Puts on tin hat and awaits incoming missiles) South stand could be closed to cut costs. North stand will be needed for away fans. No real point putting them in East as there's only Bolton who would easily bring more than 5k (unless Derby are doing well when they visit the DW). Perhaps shut the back 10 rows of the stands instead of the front 10 to get the crowd nearer the pitch and create a noisier atmosphere.

Looks they finished last season at the top of the league after all 🤣 https://www.facebook.com/100067336684744/posts/pfbid02xkDJkcYTC2zQZgDsyH2nDz7HTWvTo4RqChCSLCYVA1GkhrffR8s2xTfczcBBZNX3l/

5 then

Having read all the during and post match comments, nobody has called out how shite Johnstone was, yet again, in defending the cross that came in and lead to the goal. He must be THE worst centre half we have ever had for heading ability. Just in case you missed it, he never even attempted to jump in the air to try and stop the ball reaching the head of the geezer who scored. Anyway, onwards and upwards, we'll be better next season, auto promotion - especially if GJ learns to head a ball!

Shirley, parachute's only apply to teams relegated from the Premier?

Mayhem on their forum 😁 🤣 HudWiganFan said: Bolton were able to skip a game outright against Brentford and faced no penalty a couple of years ago. Still haven't quite got my head around how they got away with that. Because they are Bolton. They did what they wanted and there were no consequences because they are Bolton. Just like the old Rugby League pay cap. Our lodgers cheated for years and because they were Wigan they got away with it. andronicus said: I agree that the current scenario is unacceptable and something has got to change, It seems obvious now that the current regime can't or don't want to finance the club but doing this again will surely incur another points deduction maybe 12 points this time that will make the club even more difficult to sell out of administration, thus lessening their chance of recouping their losses and it just makes no sense. Also why pay us staff today if they were going to pull the plug? Totally bamboozling behaviour Why pay staff? I honestly don’t know. Maybe they are relying on staff turning up to open the ground, sell season tickets etc etc to get a game on who knows. The problem is they won’t/can’t pay players there is effectively no club anyway and we’ll be kicked out of the league so a 12 point is immaterial if we can be saved. As you say it’s bizarre behaviour and quite frankly they are unfit people to run a football club. 🙏

And they're still under investigation for not depositing 125% (?) of their monthly wage bill into a bank account to mitigate future wage bill non-payments; with any penalty (points deduction?) being applied next season 😁🤣🙏

I agree and I'd definitely play Rico (unless he's totally not up to it) as he need's at least an hour to gain some match fitness before the important 3 matches.

I.E. (probably).

I thought the biggest howler was from Johnston - not dealing with the initial ball in towards the box - for a centre-half to not even jump to try and head the ball away (his heals left the ground, but his feet didn't!) was criminal.

Two one-nils and a draw (score or otherwise) in the play-offs would do us just fine 😁.

This 👍
