Very surprised Sheehan as signed a new contract? Though he may have wanted out at the end of the season.

Last season we scored 1st 16 times at home and won 14.  Exceptions were Charlton (3-3) and Carlisle (1-3).

Away scored 1st 13 times and won 9, drew 2 and lost 2 (Reading & Blackpool).

Conceded 1st 7 times at home and we only lost 2 which is decent.  Drew 4 and did win 1, helped by the Derby keeper getting sent off.

Conceded 1st 8 times away and only won 1 (Cambridge), drew 3 and lost 4.

This season's stats more straight forward - scored 1st 7 times and won them all, conceded 1st 6 times and lost 5 of them (drew v Shrew).

Thanks Johnny great work.

I had a dream last night that we lose 5-1 on Saturday.

And my dreams are ALWAYS 100% accurate! 

We were playing Derby though.

Charles has 6 in 13 games in the league 2 in 3 for Northern Ireland and 1 in the league cup . Despite him missing the start of the season and a good portion of those 13 league games from the bench.

Forwards are selfish and greedy at any level and need to be consistent. Said this on here weeks ago that Evatt should stick with two and it would be up to them to keep the shirts.

He has tried to play Mcatee as a midfielder/forward to justify a 7 figure signing.

He needs to start Charles every game with either Collins or McAtee with him and the other on the bench. Sorry but Vic offers nothing

crytic clue Bolton v Blackpool is a Derby, but thats a Shite Dream!!!

So looks like thomasson back.    Midfield 3 of him, matete, sheehan?   Seems the lost likely set up,  does that then leave a collins or macatee situation alongside charles ?  

Collins so frustrating this season, same can be said with macatee on a lesser scale but in a game like this would go macatee.  

We,ll see.    Probably be vic and his bandage to reek havoc !!!

Think Dion will be on the bench if that is the case, subtle hint by Evatt and he will say he has had two hard international games while the others have rested.

If he goes Collins and McAtee fair enough but i dont want to see Vic start

Things behind the scenes obviously aren't anywhere near as bad as the bedwetters have been making out for the last fortnight.

He's probably had more starts than any striker in 2024 but he's scored 1 goal in the entire year to date from open play at home.  It may be IE's fault for not playing to his strengths because he looks like a different player in some away games, but he does have a point.  He can look devastating playing on the break eg at Northampton, Stevenage, Crawley but in most home games when he starts he's too easily dispossessed and doesn't get a sniff.  His best game for ages here was coming on last 20 minutes v Posh.

Kinell, not only do his penalties not count, but his away goals are seemingly less relevant than his lack of home goals (from open play of course).

We'd all like him to score more, but it doesn't necessarily matter, if his presence means defenders concentrate on him and others score.

Yes he misses chances, but we're in division three, and at the moment very inconsistent, with bigger issues at the back.

Someone above said he's a one in three striker- well I'll take that. Perhaps other strikers could look to match him, and bag 20 a season.

Evatt is unpopular at the moment, so those comments on Charles are understandably going to be scrutinised and criticised. 

If a manager who isn’t under so much pressure says that, they pretty much pass by without any debate.

As @barrycowdrill said let’s see what  reaction it gets.

What he said is true - so you can’t criticise that part.

But because of our situation there’s a debate as to the timing, the reason he’s not scoring for us and whether he should have even said it in the first place.

Not sure it is true.

Plenty of criticism of our passing, defending, and lack of a midfield at times.

Not sure what he, or others up top can do with regards to those.

He may be playing the man-management game, but that seems risky, and at the moment frankly seems an excuse.

He should just shut the fuck up publicly.

I'm not. Said it previously, no one higher up has made anything significant in moves to sign him.

He's not getting anything better any time soon.

It just confirms what was discussed earlier this week, that it is pointless Sharon ( or IE ) making any statements when there are people just waiting to be tewwibly, tewwibly upset.

IE has to do a certain amount of press work or I doubt he'd bother with it either.

Anybody know what time fanzone opens tomorrow please?

I've got a mate coming to the match who doesn't come very often and he's keen to get there early for a pint first. 

I'm not on any of the socials, so don't know where else they'd say.

This will never catch on. Much better to shout your requirements into the empty bowels of the internet and hope that Sue from Little Lever gives you correct advice

Not getting any younger either so let’s hope that spurs him on to put his all into it this season and get us promoted?

I've said this to him, but he wants to see what the fanzone is like for some reason. 

I don't mind fanzone myself, but in this weather........

Apologies for asking a BWFC related question on a BWFC forum 😁

I've been trying to join the dots up for a while as to whether @Casino has a connection to a mate of mine, but if its Sue from little lever then you've cleared that one up for me 👍

It wasn't directed at you, more of a sarcastic comment to raise a smile on a miserable Friday afternoon. Apologies to you and anyone on here from Little Lever called Sue 🙂
