The atmosphere inside Bloomfield Road was positively funereal today - rows of empty seats, no real songs, apart from a bizarre outbreak of the Kyle Joseph ditty which resulted in him coming on and having another absolute stinker. Virtue was arguably our best player last week, so he was dropped...

Poland qualify by knocking out the Welsh, and thousands of refugees and expats from Ukraine celebrate sticking it to Russia by knocking out Iceland 👍

How are you using it?

Two last night 🤔 ;) They've clearly done a bit of work on loading the box properly. Could this be the edge that carries us to Wembley?

I'm going to stick my neck out and say yes. The fans, players and club 100 percent united. The FA and EFL don't like us but we don't care. With Oxford away at Bolton and Stevenage away at Posh next week our fate could be moving towards being in our hands. We simply have to win at the Cobblers...

Well not quite, I stopped off for a celebratory Chinese takeaway on the way back to Wirral, but that has now gone south. First half we were pretty dire apart from some great defending from Marv and Dembele absolutely threading a needle with that strike for the goal. Way too much backwards and...

Now is the time. Beat Orient and we close that gap as well as effectively knocking them out of the running. Beat the Shrews too and we're on a roll. They still owe us for Stan McEwan's disallowed 40 yard piledriver all those years ago. Should be a great following too. Other teams have to...

Well, following last night's dismal effort we now face one of the league's most enterprising teams - twice. Taking on Posh's first and second choice players is going to be revealing. Is this our watershed, or the moment everyone accepts it's time for a change?

Amazing turn of events in the Nigeria South Africa semi. Nigeria thought they had gone 2 nil with minutes to go, but play was brought back via var with South Africa being given a penalty. Which they've just scored!

Kicks off 4.00 tomorrow morning. Can we do it? A good start is essential IMO. At least we have Foakes behind the stumps.

Problem now sorted see posts just below 👍

Good to see and a welcome boost for the run in. Securing Jordan Rhodes feels almost like a new signing as there must have been a good chance they would drag him back. Looks like Kenny is back in the frame for now at least. Hayden Coulson looks a good addition. Jensen Weir was never going to...

We've made it to the halfway point in this up and down and mostly underwhelming season. I'm sat watching the football related misery andtidote that is the great Carry on Cleo ("Sic transit Gloria" "Fakir - off!" etc 👍 ), so I thought I'd give this a whirl. See if you agree - or more likely...

I felt for Lyons struggling against a good opponent today. The same goes for Dale, who is a better attacker but a less good defender. The fact is though, that we need a pacy left footed wingback if we are to persist with this formation. Trouble is, if we signed one, Critchley would probably play...

What do you think? Looking back and despite the disappointment, I'm still glad I was there. It was a pretty incredible sight to see more than 4000 of us making the trip yesterday. A statement if anybody needed it, is that this club is right back in business and has all the potential to...

A pound to a penny Barnsley will look to peg back our wing backs from the start and pressurise our back three on the ball. That will be where it gets interesting. Will we go unchanged (I hope so). If Dale plays, how will he cope with that? Will we go over the top for CJ to run? I just hope...

Just listening to him on Now TV explaining how Brentford only employ a back five against the top sides. Otherwise its 433 every time. What a class act.

Having shipped five in that debacle tonight I'd guess his first thought will be to shore up the defence for Saturday. Hope springs that he'll do the opposite and just go for it, but this is Critchley of course. What's it going to look like? Another back five where we perm any random five from...

I know we were pretty awful for a lot of that but really? Second home game?

Watching this on playback. All pretty dull tbf. Give it Tuesday night vs Port Vale for me every time.
