From the highlights that's encouraging

 

And the most encouraging bit? Maher's sending off.

 

Young lad, committed to the his team wanting to win the ball.

 

Moxey, Madine, Davies et al would have shit out of that challenge. That's the sort of commitment we're going to need next season.

Maher showed he cared, stupid challenge but prepared to forgive him for the passion he has shown, if these lads stick together and show the love and passion they showed today it might be a way back, Clough and Holding are the leaders we need both to stay and build a team around them.

In fairness to Mark Davies, he's been available this season more than any other I can remember in his time with us.

 

It's also fair to say he's been a worse player this season than any other I can remember in his time with us.

Best not to play him again this season, otherwise he'll do his knee ligaments and we'll be lumbered with his 18K a week wages for another 12 months!

In all my time following the Wanderers. I don't think I've been less interested in one of our matches than I have been today.

 

The thing is, besides the FA Cup semi, I don't know any result from any other game in the country today. Cricket and rugby union has overrun my football interest.

Aye and anyone a bit older can remember Jones P. Jones G. McCallister. Siddall. Waldron and Whatmore in a similar situation. They seemed to do all right!!

Not forgetting Big Sam and Peter Reid, if any of our kids get anywhere near the levels of these players we will be right.

The current crop of kids show much more promise than the 80's crop. Already there's talk of higher level clubs looking at Clough/Holding. Nobody wanted our 80's kids.

 

We might be skint and in league 1 but I honestly don't see us sinking any lower

Agree with Rudge and Oghani. Steve Thompson and Warren Joyce were pretty capable midfielders and I really rated Steve Thompson in particular.

Used to play against Rudge in Warrington Sunday League mid 90s, he was dreadful in that.
