We’ve not won in 12 attempts I think it’s up to now. Probably the favourites in the vast majority of those games as well, they properly have the Indian sign over us. With this squad I can’t see anything other than that trend continuing. Ps. Re the pie eaters it’s something to do with striking miners in Wigan losing and forced to go back to work therefore, having into to eat humble pie or something like that.

Never forgive never forget.

To be honest we had Diaz for about 4 months the rest of it has been pure Brereton.

These loan with option to buy are fine by me as far as loans go. I highly doubt a guy with 13 career goals in division 3 will be worth anything close to m £5 million but if he bangs them in then might be value.

When things are going well he’s vaguely tolerable. When things are spiralling out of control, in the new year, he’s a very different animal. He needs sacking before he gets too comfortable and he’s insinuating that you’re lucky he’s prepared to do the 30 mins up the A19 and that fans need to challenge fans being negative towards him.

Turned around some perilous positions in this tournament. Defo a day out in Nottingham now. Just hope don’t fall at the final hurdle again. Hope the hundred boys don’t expect to rock up and play the final.

This ticked me:

Hopefully a left back, an old fashioned box to box centre mid preferably an absolute shithouse that teams will hate and a couple of strikers. Very unlikely.

I know. It was ironic.

Ha. It was the change of thread title that put the song in my head.

Must be that one trophy they’ve won.

Well if this hyam didn’t want to leave Coventry. There’s an obvious chant : Hyam the one and only, No place he’d rather be, Hyam the one and only…

Ha. I was thinking he’s defo a Radiohead man.

Yeah. Christ alive put that man on suicide watch. You’d think we’d press ganged him into coming.

Hirst and the Greek greyhounds son. Fuck me. I’ll dust my boots off if that’s the level.

It’s been a sorry story at left back. Bell was atrocious, Douglas was also atrocious albeit a marginal improvement, Pickering is atrocious and a very marginal improvement on Douglas.

I won’t give him any reaction. I won’t applaud him nor boo him.

I don’t think being a boro fan will be a problem there. Boro aren’t Sunderland’s rivals it’s probably like an ex Bolton manager coming here. We’ve got bigger fish to fry for rivals.

When watching Lancs/England I’ve always preferred stand A (under the hotel). Today we went in stand d (scaffold party stand). I’ve always said Lancs can’t handle a crowd whether it’s a roses game or international and today proved it in spades. The toilet situation that side of the ground was a farce. Queues of 30 mins plus.

I agree but they did buy in to Mowbray’s 5 year journey shite. At any other professional club he wouldn’t have lasted as long as he did but they infuriatingly kept him on.

Well the bowlers have done the business. So far so good. Crawley predictions? I’m going for caught behind 2nd or 3rd slip off Rabada trying a wafty drive for 9. 49 mins. Looks back in astonishment.

Lancashire’s awkward squad ready to battle for county cricket’s future https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/aug/24/lancashires-awkward-squad-ready-to-battle-for-county-crickets-future?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other It doesn’t happen often but on this issue Lancs do seem to be listening to the members. Should go without saying as a members club

It’s alright there’ll be no such international selection issues created by players not playing proper cricket because from 2023-2027 there will be no international cricket played in August in order to create a window for the 16.4. If it wasn’t so detrimental to real cricket it would be funny the lengths they’re prepared to go to make it a success.

For what it’s worth I think all 3 are to blame. Mowbray left behind a piss poor squad, the owners/management structure allowed decent championship players to walk for gratis without replacing, the manager made tactical errors.

Sometimes there’s championship quality players playing in league one and sometimes there’s just division 3 plodders like Szmodics and Pickering.
