There are managers of some clubs across L1 and 2 who'd get a pat on the back and green light to crack on next season for winning this trophy. Ours is not and should not be one of them.

If winning this and finishing 10th caused Sharon to have second thoughts about parting ways she'd have completely taken leave of her senses

Mr Evatt doing double yoga today?

Has there been any reason Evatt didn't do the pre match press? Or is he just hiding?

Anyway an interesting comment from whoever that guy is:

“You look at all three goals from the weekend, and they are all from transitions,” he said. “We were in possession, we lost possession and got caught on the transition, so that's disappointing.

“The way we play, we know those situations arise, on counter-attacks. And we're generally pretty good at dealing with that, but on Saturday we weren't, and a lot of that was our own doing.

 

I'm not sure about this, it implies we were dominating the ball high up the pitch and were caught on the counter. If that's how they think we were playing they're even more deluded than thought. We lost those goals because we're making mistakes in defence and/or very deep in our own half.

Exactly so you can see the problem we have, all completely deluded idiots who like to come out with nonsense. All hope is gone I’m afraid until we get rid of these Fylde donkeys.

And I thought they were all master tacticians 🤪

I'd quite like us to go and win the competition. 

League's gone, so why not.

Doubt we'd take as many as before, but a choir of 20 odd thousand singing "backwards and sideways.." would be quite the spectacle. 

my only fear with that is the board would see it as a positive and give him a new 5 year contract 

see what you mean though, who doesn't like a day out at wembley

I was theorising over the weekend and wondering who would take interim charge if IE was booted out on Monday morning... I honestly didn't know who our assistant manager was... it has always been about one ego surrounded by yes men.

Correct 

There’s a bigger picture, here.

PS - i'd go full strength tonight, these fannys need to earn their money and they need a boost from somewhere 

What is full strength though?

No one is ripping up trees.

Only one or two youngsters might be considered, but probably bench only.

Perhaps an old fashioned type forward line, with wingers, inside forwards, and a centre forward is what he's morphing us into gradually. 

3-2-5 formation :)

I’d go 5–1-4 again.  We conceded fewer goals on Saturday when we just had Morley left in midfield.  Hopefully our data analysts picked up on this so IE can further develop his 5-3-2 then 5-2-3 roadmap to oblivion.

Is Julian Darby still around?  Imagine the uplift in mood if Darby was in charge on Saturday (not saying he's a manager, but it would be a breath of fresh air).

If we did get there, be interesting to see how many went compared to the Plymouth game.

Also could be impacted by who we play.  Not sure I could be arsed going down the M6 if we were going to be joined by 60k Brum fans en route, too many bad memories of travelling the same route with Stoke fans. Our last 2 Wembley appearances have been perfect for playing teams we don't mind/day trippers.

Any lunatic going?

At least 2, my brother and nephew.  But they do live there.  £2 for kids, £10 adults.  £2 extra per ticket if paying on the gate apparently.

If we get there we should announce a boycott.

No real reason other than giving us an excuse for shit numbers when no fucker can be arsed going.

Say we do go on and win this, (may as well give it a go as was said fixture pile up isnt a concern as this season has gone) its a trophy , a win at Wembley , more money in the coffers etc.  ... 

It restores some pride , partially rescues a disappointing season , brings back some of that feel good factor, lifts the players etc 

Would anyone begrudgingly give Evatt another season with the idea that it could be a springboard , kind of like the opposite of the Oxford defeat which we still havent recovered from ? 

Unless we all fork out a load of money to go and support them and they choke again! 😁

If we got to Wembley there's not a chance I'll be going
