20th Jan, trains now on sale. Must be some work somewhere down the route as everything from both Manchester and Wigan are taking 3 hours rather than the usual 2 hours.

£48.80 return with a Railcard which isn’t bad going at all I reckon

On another day we’re 3 up here.

We’ve created chances but our main striker has just fluffed his lines.

Time yet

Are they feeling sorry for themselves after Tuesday?

Should have taken inspiration from it.

That said, I'm not greatly surprised.

I don’t think so.

Orient have been half decent and spoiled where they can.

We’ve had 2 chances that on another day we’d score at least 1

Our mistake gifted them their goal

We’ve been the better team since they went ahead and I still expect us to at least get an equaliser in the remaining 25 mins.

Luton was a real workout.

Orient have clearly made this physical as well.

there’s another game in 3 days

Yes they’re paid to do it, but it’s bound to have an effect mentally as well as physically.

On a separate note, there’s little more frustrating than Pratley going through his repertoire of the dark arts when you’re chasing the game.

Derby aren’t even beating Lincoln the shit bastards.

The performance is worrying given we've got to go Tuesday-Saturday until the end of the season.

A few more performances like this and the meltdown on here will be akin to a volcano erupting

Of course, but remember they only played 30 mins a week ago.

I'd be surprised if fatigue was a factor today.

Perhaps mentally I could understand, not physically.

The fixture build up is the enemy, not Evatt or the players.

 

I'll definitely cut them some slack for their extra workload but I'll make an exception for Williams rolling the ball into touch instead of finding a player from 5 yards, he hasn't played for about 2 weeks!  Poor player.

Effects of fixture pile up started today no doubt, that isn't us out there surely.

Why have we just completely forgotten to play football?

Scratching my head here You call out Williams for a wayward pass after just coming on but say jack shit about the 2 sitters missed 

Odious little man, is Wellens. 

To be fair, he's got his side to do a job on us today, they've looked decent while we've been poor.

Quite. 

Doesn't seem like any of them have been great.

I don’t get him. He looks like he can’t be arsed, they were in behind on his side just then and he just jogged back towards the winger.

Ref is a bellend

No we've been very poor today

Not one player can say they played well

He's been bobbins.

Williams has kicked the ball out of play 3 times, put a cross in the car park and just dribbled the ball out of play 

That's enough for today 

When we throw a bad performance in it's usually really bad 

On to Tuesday

When you need to dig deep and graft your balls off Williams is not the man. Utter shite since he’s been on

Charles just wants to make sure nobody buys him then he can pump another 20 BOLTON GIRLS

Eh he's been on 15 minutes for Christ sake what about the fucking rest of them

Really poor today Orient done a job on us pressed us high and we have no answer to it again!

If that's becoming an issue for us, then Evatt needs to sort it quickly.

I can hardly sit here and say Charles shouldn't be in the team, if he missed 5 open goals today he'd still be one of the 1st on the teamsheet for the next game, he's proven at L1 level.  And he plays every game so the fatigue thing can be partly an excuse in his case.  Williams was a mystery signing the first time I saw him play and nothing's changed IMO, not sure what he brings except an occasional long throw.
