3-0.

What the hell have I just seen from Baptiste there.

Utterly brainless.

toothless today

That's me done I'm cooking tonight, I might as well start prepping up.

I'm actually paying more attention to the Downing Street briefing than this relentless dross.

Demote IE back to coach

Passing everything awful today. Some good crosses put in but everyone looks below par. No plan b when a fails.

I'm probably better off not bothering with live streams again this season. Saves a few quid and I'm only going to be frustrated for the 2 minutes where I check the score.

Can’t score, can’t defend, a bad combination.

After Cheltenham they didn't come home and prepare properly they stayed down there lapping up the hotel pool and food

They had there stodgy Christmas pudding down there.

they turned into great big puddings today

Cheers Benny I'm going back to bed with a bottle to try and forget today

Looked like Bolton players where ‘on the beech; hopefully there will be more outs come January

About 20!!

The tactics and Covid restrictions are the only constants at the club.
You can bet when the Covid restrictions eventually go the tactics will remain the same and so will our training video

The real problem is Evatt has no idea how to fix this mess. Even with the transfer window looming, I doubt that he will be able to find the players that will be needed to move us onwards and upwards. He would have course have to find clubs who will want to sign our lacklustre players who need to be moved on. I wish him luck with that.

This is what you get when you give a relatively inexperienced manager a three-year contract when it was previously stated that long term contracts were a thing of the past. Let's hope that I'm wrong and that he can do what he needs to do. I won't be holding my breath.

There is a solution but it is extremely unlikely to be actioned, especially after the vote of confidence that Evatt received from FV.

Who is IE's number 2 and what do we know about him we see or hear very little from him I've yet to hear or see any evidence of the two of them deep in conversation on how to change the game we only hear IE' shouting during a match which is normally having a go at somebody.
IE needs a good 2nd in command with a wise head to help and advise him IE needs to listen to others he's too much of a one man band at the moment.

Who is evatts number 2? Found something https://youtu.be/tjXqGjTZu1A

We don't need no wash boards our shirts are whiter than white before during and after the match.

Perhaps that's a big problem for Evatt, he may have a yes man for his assistant that doesn't have any ideas on how to change things and Evatt probably wouldn't listen if he did.

Whatever the situation, we don't have time to sort this mess without someone who knows what needs to happen. I don't think the present team have a clue.

It will be very telling if, after the transfer window, nothing improves.

We have a name https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Atherton_(footballer) Peter Atherton. Aged 50. Born in Wigan. Career from 1988-2008. Coaching career. Assistant manager at Halifax in 2008. 2 years out of the game then 2010 to 2018 coach at Wigan's development squad, July 2018 barrow assistant manager. Left barrow along with evatt July 2020.

That's the fella sits as though in prayer during a match you know the quiet one.
We don't have many coaches at the moment well not since he was promoted to assistant manager there is him with Mark Litherland the academy manager, Gilks coaching himself and Jules is wasted with the U16's. So who is the wisest of them all to advise IE when things are not going to plan and why do I get the impression its a one man band can all my bugging devices have flat batteries at the same time.
That Lostock structure review is still somewhere unwrap your presents carefully on the 25th it may be in there.

"Stig Tøfting" that's who we need to toughen our lot up I thought when I saw a DFDS container in the queue of operation stack.
Then Jeeves served dinner and you'll never guess it was served with a fine Greek salad where upon I starting humming Giannakopoulos like you do.
That's what we need at this club to sort out the players and IE, both of the above come with experience Stig can sort the players out show them how its done toughen up the best of the bad bunch and see off the weak ones while Stelios can talk sense and wise words into IE's shell like.
It's not a posh refined league this one is poor and open to anybody who finds the right combo we need to toughen up and learn how to get stuck in, IE needs to learn to be flexible change plan A into plan B as required and stop any more of this losing at home nonsense.

The last three para's do make you think don't they.
