We'd have certainly won one of the cups. I remember feeling absolutely distraught leaving Bramhall Lane after Sheff Utd had done us on pens. They were such a poor side as well but we were relying on Steve Livingstone up front by then.

Dreadful from Morton. Absolutely shocking piece of play

Wow, Pickering. Different class that pass.

Not seeing much of Pongo Lowe on match days and that can only be a good thing.

He doesn't hide I will give him that. But to be fair I wish he would.

This George Worst is as weak as piss. Totally bullied by the Wigan centre half.

Oh Dacky.....

Some horrendous transfer business with George Worst and Gammy Sammy. Neither are even close to being good enough.

Hopefully it had a shit

Dack is a country mile better than any player in red on that pitch. It's absolutely criminal that he's not being given a chance.

Fcks sake I know I'm mentioning him a lot but wtf is Buckley doing in there? Has he been told just to ball watch? His opposing man is past him every time.

Christ, you'd think Buckley would be chomping at the bit here after being recalled. Totally sleeping there and wrong side of his man, lucky it wasn't a pen he gave away. Backs up all I've ever said about him, the lad hasn't got the mentality to be a top player.

Buckley is dialling a performance in here so far

He's a great lad and sorely missed in my opinion. You could never question his love for the club either.

Or Eddie Van Halen as @bob flemingused to call him

Gotta feel for Oldham fans. To top off a decade of mismanagement they've appointed that gobshite. Their descent down the leagues might not be over just yet.

Clitheroe are in the FA Cup 3rd qualifying round at home to AFC Bury next week after beating the higher ranked Spennymoor in the last round. A win there and they are one win away from the first round proper for the first time in their history. Good luck to them.

And in the 70s it was Alan Gowling

So can we argue about it or not?

Dack is still our best footballer so to be completely ignored in a pitiful performance yesterday is just plain wrong from JDT. There's also the argument that bringing Hirst on in a performance where we were hardly creating is going to do nothing for his confidence either. So I conclude the same as you, he definitely doesn't fancy Dack or Markanday and I'm not sure he fancies Smodiczs either yet one we know is a game changer and the other 2 have hardly played to know either way.

Still no Markanday. Looks like the marquee signing from January is a pile of old pony and a stinking legacy from our old mate Mowbray. Who'd a thunk it?

Just superb Rovers. We look a very very good side here.

Well happy with that. As good as I have seen us play in a long long time.

Get in!!!! The least we deserve we have been excellent from the first whistle.

Really good performance so far. We're first to everything and not giving them a kick. Some great interplay and off the ball running as well, just got to keep this tempo for the rest of the game.
