  • What a tough Championship next season, only Lincoln will look out of place.
    We really do need to strengthen quite a bit.......
    Yep!

    No Sheff Wed depleted / points deducted
    No Oxford
    No Stockport
    Hull up instead of Boro/Soton
    West Ham/Spurs

    Good to see Bolton back in the championship
    Yes and no. I think Stockport would have struggled. Bolton look like they’ll be fine. 
    I might change my opinion when we play them but for now it's good to see them after the horrible years their fans have had to put up with

    Probably just me but football seems to be discrimateray. Have dreadlocks & you get a penalty. Have short hair and you don't. And seeing as white players dont have the type of hair that can be made into dreadlocks then   ????

    Is there anything saying a player can't wear hair extensions to give him that advantage??


    Clutching at straws a bit here
    Clutching at dreadlocks indeed?

    It’s looks like a pretty sparse crowd for the Bolton v Stockport game. 45,000 max? Bolton sold 28,000 and Stockport 13,000 the last time I looked 
    Looking at the crowds both today and yesterday - I have to say that much maligned phrase.

    We are a big club. With Massive potential.

    Genuinely - we were a monster of a club at league one level. The support of the four clubs up to now shows this. We have to continue to build this summer 
    And nothing to do with the final being in London?
    Bolton got bigger crowds than us in L1.

    Official attendance announced as 48,268, almost 28,000 fewer than the 2024/2025 final.

    It’s a three hour drive not a flight round the world.

    It wasn’t just a bit quiet - almost the entire upper tier was unsold

    Am I being woodshed here? Defenders don't have to pull dreads and white players can grow their hair long if they want.

    So if we were a monster of a club Birmingham must be massive monster, Bolton must be super monster & Huddersfield a monster of a L1 club as well.

  • League Two final today, at 3pm.

    Lucas Ness likely to start for Notts County. Couldn't spot any recent Charlton players in the Salford ranks but Udoh likely to start for them - he started both semi finals against us last season. Karl Robinson the Salford manager.

    And another blistering day at Wembley!

    All these bog standard average play off finals -  nothing since has come even remotely close.

    Can't believe people liked Karl Robinson as our manager. His false 'worra club' bullshit that he does absolutely everywhere he goes is so transparent. It's a bad combination having a manager I would gladly never hear another word from again that just never stops talking

    The interviewer only had to ask Karl Robinson one question - he just spoke for his five minute allocation - she may as well have gone home.

    Cole Stockton on the bench for Salford. I remember when the solution to all our problems was signing him. I'm beginning to think maybe that wasn't the case

    I started today not being too bothered who wins this.
    But Sky have spent so long fellating Salford’s Man Utd owners that I now really want Notts County to win.

    Proper club Notts County, would be good for them to at least be back in league one

    I see County are playing 3-4-2-1. Have we ever tried that? I dont recall.

    Kelman/ANO/Fullah and TC behind Leaburn/ANO/Kelman may be the way to go.

    It’s how we ended the season. Also played it away to Wrexham and a handful of other times usually with Knibbs and Carey as the 2
