Wigan manager Ryan Lowe sacked

Maycock is 28 so older than Rudoni this should be the peak of his career but he hasn’t quite fulfilled his obvious potential

CW - I agree about Maycock… I don’t want to get too carried away, but there’s a bit of Jack Rudoni about him I think…

Sam Curran even

England win by 4 runs, brilliant bowling by Surreys Sam urban in the last over

Maycock showed some quality in the build up the winner yesterday too. Would love it if he properly comes good.

Looks like we could be losing to Nepal in the cricket

My team for Tue; Mcdonnell; Asiimwe, Bauer, Lewis, Seddon, Nkeng; Nelson, Reeves, Hippo; Browne, Stewart, Stevens. This assumes Lewis fit, if not then Ogs at CB. Foyo on bench if fit.

For a backward header, the ball has ended up in rather strange place. I'd expect to see that after a screaming volley.

Maycock has the potential to be one of our best players but don’t think JJ sees it that way.As I said to someone at the time if Bugiel or Hackford had had that chance at Port Vale they would have tried to smash it and the game would have been 0-0 but Maycock has such composure he didn’t panic and just passed the ball in which is the mark of a good player IMO

I think what helped yesterday was our midfield three was made of two attacking midfielders and one defensive one. We normally play with two defensive ones. BTW Maycock is better than some think isn't he?

What action is appropriate Laurence, other than the obvious of having a worked out Plan B, in the event Plan A doesn't work? The bond is being reopened, we don't know where we are with shareholdings until 50%+1 is sorted and the various groups of potential investors have stated what they need to invest. Begging bowl has started failing as you would expect with sums in the millions. As you pretty much accepted people participate in rights issue because they expect the company to be making a profit now or before long. So calls to action are good but what are our actions?

REPD - good write up, and you offered: 'One thing that has long irritated me over this whole side of things is that we don’t need to be poor.' Yes agreed, and the rumours engineered last week may have boosted numbers at the meeting, but they were rumours only, not based on fact. Those rumours don't sit well with maturer supporters based on a couple conversations yesterday at Plough Lane and elsewhere online. The younger supporters might lap it up?

Bert - Ah ha!

Not me Laurence, too busy making AI look silly ;)

Bert - are you looking after this Wiki, please? Or someone at the club? [Link]

Anyway, here's SW19 on yesterday - [Link]

CW - true 😬☺️

The alignment of the crowd and the goal looks odd in OTD. They don't look at right angles or opposite each other.

Morning all. Hash - heard it at Port Vale and I remember "We won't go up, we might go down, Peter Winkleman's a fucking clown" but forgot the rest. It's to Vanity Fare's "Hitchin A Ride", I believe

thither

Buxton is lovely. Worth staying a bit longer. Excellent pubs,as has been said- the Cheshire Cheese in Higher Buxton has Titanic. Some marvellous buildings. Proper stalagmitey/stalactitey caves. It's a very hilly town so be prepared for a lot of upping and downing. It is also very cold because of its altitude. The staff at the Prem are really nice but they don't seem to get first dibs on breakfast supplies.

Yeah early goal made a huge difference to the atmosphere but there was definitely something different about the performance yesterday. Even when they equalised it looked like we could score again which was different to the usual 'this game could go on for the next 756 years and we still won't score' feeling. So crowd got behind players.

A4e-actually scoring goals helps with that
