We really do need a convincing win in this one to consolidate our right to be considered a true automatic contender. These are exactly the games we do need to win against serious opposition and I’m confident we will. COYWM. 🥳 We did manage to recover after Wigan and Carlisle so not too concerned about restoring confidence Would rather lose this and win away at Oxford and Portsmouth Then again, I'd rather win them all But a convincing win here would really help with our momentum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then New Years Day Wigan home, after playing them Boxing Day both 83 and 84. Zero chance of those festive fixtures getting repeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won 4, drawn 3 and lost 7. Isn't the achilles heal how many away fans there are? Over 20k v Lincoln but a comfortable day - small away following. There are probably others that I can't recall, but its the away fans that make it uncomfortable for the team more than a big home crowd. Unless its Sunderland.

Possibly, though we have had some poorer results against team without. Cambridge? Should have won, but drew. I suppose away, we may have had a decent following too. Possibly just one of those stats that can be over analysed, and it's nowt to worry about. Just a bit frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-OK not done it. Vic is doing his bit in the over all play and the team is doing well. Madine had his strengths, but I don't reckon being a team player was one of them. Twatting folk on the other hand seems to be. Edited November 10, 2023 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stig Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Proper nervous about this one tomorrow given last 2 derbies (yes I'm saying Wigan and Carlisle are our current derbies) and I hope the players are more up for it than they were those games, as they were pathetic and made me question the heart of the team. Last few results have been perfect though so hoping we've toughened up. While not part of the end result, I don't understand fans who aren't up for these derby matches because they aren't the traditional "derby matches". I grew up in the 90s and the derbies for me were Man U, Blackburn and rivals in our division who were semi-close, hence Wolves fitting the bill. Blackpool were nowhere on my radar but them, Carlisle and (especially) Wigan all fit the bill for modern derby matches. Really hoping the fans are well up for this like the Barnsley home leg play off match last season. Atmosphere was great that dat with the fans almost willing that equaliser in.

Lostock Whites Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Anyways like I said earlier in the thread, we've done it on the biggest stage in front of 80,000, emphatically against a now Championship team, no excuses tomorrow or going forward. Fucking turn up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 In terms of derby matches, Carlisle is 104 miles from Horwich. Wigan 5 miles, Blackpool 36m, Port Vale 54, Fleetwood 41m, Barnsley 56m, Burton 86m, even Shrewsbury 95m. Not that any of it matters I guess.

How "up for it" were Carlisle? We're their closest away day (edit: ok, bar the 2x donkey lashers on Fylde), and we can house 5000 of them. No matter what we think, because we played Bayern away once - they're a rival. It's on our coaching and playing staff - and fanbase, to treat it as such.

About 70 of those miles are through farm land though with no rivals to speak of, and they certainly saw it as a derby match. We all need to be on it tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) They didn’t see it as a derby they saw it more as an occasion and one of the benefits of getting promoted. An away day at a big boy, former premiership team, new ground, somewhere they hadn’t been before. Yes geographically it’s one of their closer games but still 2hrs away Just under 50% of their home attendance turned out not because of any history or hatred but because they wanted to watch their little old club play at somewhere like ours. It’s all relative but it’s like Luton going to city or Liverpool this season. Won 1 of the previous 13, and won 1 in 5 since. The players responded to the following which is the fundamental issue at our place. Their lot rise to it ours generally don’t. Carlisle fans see that trip as one of their top 3 ever.

Rizlar Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I don’t agree with this losing because it’s a Derby game and because of away fans numbers it’s about turning up and being up for it from the kick off both games against Wigan they had a game plan and it worked same with Carlisle .

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 11, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2023 While it is a Derby geographically and I know the older boys and Gonzo see things differently, they aren't and never will be a rival to me. Blackburn, Burnley and Preston are rivals as far as I'm concerned but that has more to do with being Blackburn born and bred I suppose (though with Bolton DNA so the correct number of toes and fingers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
