Not sure what has happened to Caldwell. I know first time around he was fired because we were pretty dire in the Championship under him and a bore to watch.
I understood him being brought back after gaining lower league experience. Experience only but no success mind.
It was a nice change last season for us to go out to try and win games under him playing two up top.
Why the hell though has he reverted back to the awful one up top bilge and trying to emulate his old buddy Maloney in the boredom stakes. True he hasn’t had support from above but really he should be getting a lot more out of this bunch but as they say ‘Shit always rolls downhill’ and that is what he is playing his part in making us.
Hi Bicky, I’m sure you asked for help getting back on Latics Speyk a while ago I messaged the moderator and he said he’d cleared the self ban and to log in with your details, try it if that doesn’t work ping him a message.
jonathan@vitalfootball.co.uk You will get even more aggravated these days.
Definitely a step in the right direction yesterday and will be a massive confidence booster for the squad. Next up Wycombe. They also had a massive confidence booster yesterday after losses to Sheffield Wednesday and Stockport and a draw against MK. However we are at home and if the crowd get behind the players like they did yesterday then we will be out of the bottom 4 by the international break and can spend a fortnight on the training ground making sure it stays that way.
Re Hulk Hogan. He finally signed yes. Twenty minutes before kick off it was announced. WTF was that about in that timescale. The reason he did eventually arrive was because Darcy was gone and it was one out and one in. It’s that tight for Caldwell.
A back three yesterday had Mellish who is a midfielder but the problem like last season is playing with makeshift wing backs. Murray is primarily a right wing man not a left wing back. Weir is just Weir a midfielder who gives us nothing even in midfield. Costello needs a strike partner so let’s get him one and drop the one up top nonsense now and forever. Never has there been a more appropriate time to switch to a traditional Latics formation for goals, entertainment and success of 4-4-2. Bollocks to all the fancy formations but even more bollocks to playing players out of position. Square pegs in round holes never works so pull your socks up Caldwell youve had months to sort a squad and bring in players to fit your system so why the piss farting about? We have dawdled around in the close season so much it feels like we are in pre season still but minus Sam, Kerr, Wright and Taylor.
Danson won’t turn up for a Latics game but I could imagine him there with Nandy and Andy the fraud discussing shite whilst sipping champagne.

Thats why SG has gone and the new CEO appointed. Met him at the memories session yesterday and he came across very well. His enthusiasm is infectious and was quite witty. He will definitely improve on sponsorship and investigate other revenue streams. As usual GC spoke very well, you can tell he knows exactly what he wants and will find a way to get it. He indicated that there had been 2 new signings yesterday with another very imminent. He was confident that there would be 4 or 5 new recruits before the window closes. I feel the most positive I’ve been for many years just before the new season starts. The whole mood of the club has been lifted. UTFT!! 💙🤍
Doesn’t matter one little bit to me if the stadium has a sponsor or not. Danson saw fit to take the ownership off WAFC and form a stadium company.
<!–more–>Yes but we gave Grimsby a game and held them to two nil, got an honourable draw at Southport, beat mighty Fylde and only lost one nil to Port Vale. Some pre season that.
What an absolute travesty of a preparation. It bloody stinks.
A very good post indeed. Maybe cheap and better beer. Much better and cheaper catering and put an end to all that shite on the p.a. system. Fanfares crescendos and shouting. Let the fans build an atmosphere up. Cut off the music ten minutes before kick off but of course get some improvement in the football and the owner too could give some hope and lift the gloom by actually communicating rather than leaving it to his puppets who mustn’t have a clue either wtf is going on.
Sums it up well. Plus our preparation in terms of game time in pre season has been awful. Just not enough game time for players to gel together.
Whenever I complained about Latics sitting back after taking the lead I tended to get shouted down and told it would leave us wide open at the back. Now these same experts are all saying England were wrong to defend so deep and should have been more cavalier. However we lost and there would have been a hell of a different reaction if England had held on.
Well a few unproven youngsters have arrived but still no sign of any use of the Sam money that we were told would be used.
We keep hearing about a takeover. Probably rumours but one of the potential buyers wants Latics and the DW Stadium. Tickle is the last of the assets this owner has sold following Hughes, Langy and Thelo out of the door. Obvious he has no interest in our club and hasn’t even got the decency to communicate with fans, just leaving that to his puppet board and senior employees to pull the wool over our eyes. A bloody shambolic mess. Why can’t he just sell the ground and our club to whoever wants it if he isn’t interested.
He has had his annual glory hunting trip to Wembley with his priority club. We are a second thought. On friendlies though they are pretty shit for fans and the friendlies are always glorified training sessions but my opinion is we while have a massively reshaped squad which will need to gel together and the best way to do this and for Caldwell to chose a starting eleven for this season’s relegation struggle is to get them playing matches together so with a new squad and junior players we need far more games to be arranged. Should have been arranged weeks ago. I have noticed no jollies to Spain this season so there’s another cut back by Scrooge this season.
A two goal one match Wonderboy but the current owners who run us like we are a non league club with not enough investment to progress are to blame and nobody else. Another that was quickly pushed out was Josh Stones just as soon as a tempting offer came in. Just watch his value increase as a league player at a club with ambition and investment to see them progress.
