Rothwell was also very quiet, the half seemed to pass him by. Regarding wingers of which we had three real wingers playing plus Buckley out on the left - we need to learn how to get them into the game more. That means getting the ball to them quicker and the full backs not getting into their space and cluttering up play.

" Relaxing " ? Get Mowbray to talk to them. He sends me to sleep.

Even at that level I'd be surprised if he has more than 45 minutes in him on a regular basis.

I can't see this lad is coming here to sit on the bench. I think we can forget Westwood.

I thought he called K--n" A germ ". Not far wrong there.

I'll bet Gigg Lane doesn't look like that and nobody's playing there at the moment !

He should have shoved a paint brush and a tin of paint in their hands and told them to earn their keep for a month.

A knee in the groin is just what a few of them need.

Exactly what happened with my next door neighbours block paving.

Can he play in goal ?

" If you'll pay their wages out of your salary of course you can give them another month ".

It looks to be the sort of line up you'd send to play in a pre-season friendly at a non league team. One or two first team regulars and the rest mostly reserves.

I was reading a quote in today's paper from Ronald Koeman - " We're Dutch, we don't fear putting kids in, we're used to doing that. I always say that when I have one player who is 30 and another who's 22 playing at the same level, I will play the 22-year-old because he's the future ". Our guy seems to work the other way around.

I'm sick of hearing it all Stuart. How long would he have got under Jack Walker ? Not this long, that's for sure.

We shouldn't have a problem getting a ball playing centre half on a free transfer, the leagues are awash with them.

He's spent the £12 million and it's not even like we could cash in and get our money back is it ?

Bobby Bell. What a good deal that was.

It's the deals for the likes of Gladwin and Hart that had me scratching my head.

I can't see anybody buying Dack until they've seen him play a few games. If they do it'll be a bit down now and the rest after so many games.

I think we're pissing on our shoes at the moment.

Games are only easy if you make them easy. You always treat your opponents with respect, if you don't perform on the day it's not going to end well. We all know the script. However when does he ever talk our guys up ? He's more concerned with stopping our opponents than he his giving them something to worry about.

Obviously not.

I would have thought the " Platt money " would have bought the lads a round of drinks.

I'm sick of hearing this sort of stuff. I never went into a game thinking we couldn't win. Lots of time I was wrong ( including a 16-2 defeat as a kid ) but I didn't start the game thinking like that.

Jesus, no wonder we lost !
