Plucky losers, gallant in defeat and all that but.............2018, 2021, 2022 - as soon as we play a team of genuine quality in the knock-out stages we lose.

2 weeks away in the sunshine with your mates and no missus in sight. Sounds like torture 🤣

I think your last line answers your question. He probably didn't 'appoint' him, but he certainly recommended him. No coincidence JDT joined soon after GB....which was after quite a few weeks of Waggott struggling to appoint anyone. If you remember the plan was to appoint the manager first and then the DoF. That went out of the window, we appointed Gb and then JDT quickly followed.

Come on Morocco, send the 'winker' home.

Buck stops with Broughton, he's the DoF. He chose JDT.

Another Danish Pastry Pasting.

Aye, not his fault.

Let's be honest, we're a really poor team to watch. The football is so sterile, and lacks imagination. We are incapable of building from the back, and it's embarrassing watching us even try. What's worse is that it inevitably leads to us giving away goals. This all comes from the manager.

PNE Online. You'll enjoy it there.

Indeed it was. He doesn't like it when he gets it back.

And you're on about Shiteman. Jog on back to PNE lad.

Has our great leader spoken yet? Who did he throw under the bus and blame for our latest capitulation?

Warrington Town 🤣 I could get a game for Warrington Town🤣 They're in the same league as Bamber Bridge!. 🤣

Warrington Town🤣

Spot on. We've been awaful all season, we've just managed to hold out at home against some very average teams. That was never going to continue. We were either going to improve and keep getting results, or keep playing shite and start getting battered. Sadly it's the latter that has happened.

Fairs fair, he did say that after the WC break that we would look a much better team. Oh, hang on.... I'm old enough to remember when he said he was going to entertain the fans and play fast, attacking football. 🤣 The guy is full of shite.

He's not adding value or getting results. I'll await to hear what Gregg Broughton has to say about the manager he appointed. After all, he is Director of Football so he must be as embarrassed by this as anyone.

Weird mancrush alert. Can we have free rein to also mention Stefan Mols plays for Warrington Town?

I'm sure John Dull said we would improve after the World Cup break, and that a bit of time on the training ground was all we needed. The guy's a bit of a BS merchant.

Look chaps, we're going to be inconsistent for a while until the JDT masterplan fully embeds. Sometimes we concede 3, sometimes we may concede 4 or 5. Keep the faith! TLDR: Tomasson Out

Where's Gregg?

Tomasson out? He got sacked in his first job for getting Roda relegated. You can see why.

I wasn't particularly interested in today's match until now. Looking forward to seeing how this manifests itself...

BwD - 150k Burnley and Pendle - 180k

It hasn't though. You're using the historical meaning, not the current use of the word. However, our squad wasn't decimated. We lost 5 first teamers and a few who couldn't even make the match day squad. Those numbers happen every summer to almost every club in the league.
