hopefully LJ will "stumble" across a winning 2nd half team

Unfortunately it is likely to be Wigan.

Our brilliant coach just said that the policy is for the players to retain the shirt, WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is he didn't specify which players and which shirts.

I'm loving the consistency of LJ's inconsistent team selections.

Apparently there are three worse teams than us.

Absolute bollox.

It's true.

The trouble is they are Leyton Orient, Newport and Cheltenham !

Feeling confident of a win today.  If we cant beat bloody Burton, we deserve to go down.

Blackbun playing Wigan and teams around us playing top 6 opposition.  All will look much healthier at 5 pm. 

 

Or not, as the case may be! 

Feel today is last chance saloon for LJ and the team.

While there are plenty of games left, a loss today will leave us with no momentum and I just can't see where we will be able to turn things around. Teams around us all seem to have found some form and importantly results,  and I can easily see them going past us or pulling away.

Im normally pretty positive and optimistic about the team, but since Christmas have found my optimism ebbing away, which Im really sad about. I still think this team is far better than it's current position, but  the disastrous run of losses before Christmas hammered their confidence. The first halves at both Derby and Newcastle showed their potential, but the second halves in those games showed the mental fragility that is now the biggest achilles heel.

Desperately hoping for a win today but fearing a draw at best.

COYR.

Mrs Ivorguy?

Just keep LJ out of the dressing room and let Wilbs do the team talk.

With LJ we are capable of conceding during the half time break.

It must be reiterated what a class act Wilbraham's been for us ever since he arrived. Considering his career before now wasn't stellar, he's been not only a top pro, but always very impressive given his age.

Absolutely, but remember what all the "experts" on OTIB said about him when the signing was announced? 

Just now, JHAGa said:

Ha.

 

I'll feel comfortable when we're 5-0 up.

... and with just a minute of injury time left!!!!!!!

I expect if we are losing 50,000 Geordies will join in a chorus or two of
