No böðvarsson or toal involved in the b team. I wonder if a touch of regret as it was played at our old training ground euxton.

Evatt says he isn't looking to sign players to beef up the team; he sticking to his way of playing which signals to me that we will lose games that we need to be winning.

he doesn't see the benefit of bringing in muscle because often those players don't have the technical qualities that he wants. All I will say about that is when Sam brought in enforcers like El Hadji Diouf, Bruno Ngotti, and others into his team, they didn't do too badly.

It seems that Evatt wants perfect football but he will never get that without some muscle to bully other teams when necessary. You could say that a lack of that type of player cost us promotion last season.

The worst thing is, he isn't learning from his mistakes. and to say that the game wasn't a 4-0 game is ridiculous. We were well and truly beaten by a side that knew our weaknesses.

What are your thoughts? Maybe I have got it wrong.

Our B team is again a funny one.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what's left of it, after half of them have gone out on loan.

Pasty, would you please send me the APP that you use, I had problems with the commentary on Saturday. Regards, SWIE.

Go through WanderersTV on the club site.
I think the away games take the iFollow feed from whoever we are playing.
It's a bit of a mess at times who launched it half cocked.

Thanks, that is what happened on Saturday, we had two Wigan commentators and as if the result wasn't bad enough the two commentators made the whole experience worse.

And yes, you would have thought that this great new service would have been completed and near perfect for the start of the season.

I can forgive them for not being totally ready for the pre-season games, they were presumably used, or should have been to iron out any minor faults and make the system user friendly.

When I complained to the club regarding not being able to access the content, they thanked me for my suggestions on how to improve the accessibility for users and said they would be looking very closely at the problem and fixing it. They also refunded my payment.

There's a lot of changes that have got sorted late. The screens and new ad hordings are going to be up and running for the Derby game and I don't expect a proper Wanderers TV till at least January.

No injury concerns.

We've got Burton away tomorrow.
They sit bottom of the table, played 4 drawn 1 lost 3 what could possibly go wrong besides the streaming!!

You are probably right with your thoughts on that, but haven't we used a company that has already been used by other clubs?

It might be that our specifications for the set-up was different to what they have already achieved for other clubs but they are supposed to be the experts.

I suppose that it's better to get everything right even if it takes time, It's just a bit frustrating waiting for the finished product.

And according to their manager, getting players back on the field that have been out of the team for one reason or another.

Nothing short of a good win will be acceptable tomorrow, otherwise, the bells of doom and gloom will be chiming loudly.

Hope he does well for them. He's the next cab off the youth rank according to a few.

Another b teamer goes out on loan. Hutchinson to Hyde. Quite low that level 7 of the football pyramid.

posted on 25/8/23

Probably not that low from where we are to where we are and his experience.

Also nice to see Nicky Spooner has the Hyde job.

That's me all set for later today.

Time for a 2nd cold shower of the day and back to bed for a few hours.

This guy Liam Hatton must have been looking at my comments on this thread as he has stated the same as me on needing an enforcer in midfield and injecting some steel into the team.

I might sue him for plagiarism.

Personally I think it's all about the players doing their jobs properly and working as a team. That didn't happen against Wigan and an enforcer as such wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever the way Bolton didn't handle Wigan on the day. If any incoming business it needs to be a striker who scores goals as I don't see Nlundulu or Jerome doing either so if one of those go. Jerome move out with sadlier and John and or Nlundulu on loan to a league 2 club for a season as i do don't think he's quite up to league one at the moment. Forget Wigan now, getting my head round the Burton thread now.
