Winning 2-0 at ht, makes it better as its on LFC TV. Impressed with big lad Obi and Olly Crankshaw.
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!The truth is he was injured so contributing fek aw to our plight. Who knows how much longer he will be out for. I very much doubt he would hoist Niasmith out the team, Kipre looks has though he’s been reborn, so can’t get too worked up over this. I also don’t feel any need to have a go at our club etc over his “decision” to leave, for the very reasons I have said above. How embarrassing it must be for him to be not wanted by his parent club and then to be a potential spectator at his loan club.

What a journey!I suspect people are reading that NewsNow shyte, its run by agents and speculative journalists.
Unless its on the official club websites, Sky Sports or BBC Sports formal websites I wouldn’t read much into any other rumour mongering sites.

What a journey!We are all wrong its been confirmed that Blackburn have recalled him back due to injuries to their defenders.

What a journey!You are all jumping to the wrong conclusion, he wants to force a permanent move whether it be us or somewhere else.
He now cannot be loaned to any other club so its forcing Blackburn to sell or put up with him. Clever move by the lad.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Those two should be in the first team squad every week and given some decent game time not 10 mins here and there. I would also include a couple more, Joseph being one of them. Roberts has been great for us saying how old he is, top pro with plenty of respect from everyone. However, I don’t feel that he can change a game both offensively or defensively. Some of these youngsters could microwave their development being part of the first team set up. Leyton Baines wouldn’t have got his chance if sick note Macmillan had not “twisted his sock” has PJ once said.
Gelhardt hit that rasper over the bar within minutes of coming on against Bristol. I didn’t see any other raspers from the starting 11 all 90 mins. That would be enough for me if I was Cook. When the ironic cheer went up when Joe got ready to come on satdy, it was met with “you’ll have to do well now” from Cook. Being profoundly deaf I could lip read him, what a great confidence booster that must have been for the lad.
Cook needs to put age to one side and stop being obstinate. If the rumours are right regarding Henderson from Rochdale and Rooney from Salford being of interest then we might as well scrap that academy.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Still quite local for those who want to go. Its at the Lancashire FA County Ground in Leyland. Free entry with season ticket.

What a journey!Cook should have played Windass or Lowe alongside him early doors to set up a partnership. Its probably still not too late for that, but we all know Cooky won’t do it.

What a journey!I agree about service but I think he’s a lot better than what we’ve seen. If he does leave then be interesting to see how he fares. One thing for sure if we drop he’s going cos won’t want to jeopardise his international career dolloping around league 1.Is he really better than what we’ve seen? On what facts have you come to that conclusion.?? He’s had one good season with Barnsley, scored a few in the lower leagues with Rotherham / Torquay and previous to that a good season in non league.
Its not like he is a teenager or even in his early 20’s. The lad is not a prolific goalscorer and has wasted several chances this season, including at least 4-5 one on ones. Fair enough he’s not been swamped in chances but a semi decent striker makes the most of the chances they get,he clearly hasn’t, don’t blame the other players for that.
How many strikers playing against us have not had a kick in the game but notched. The Bristol City forward and Waghorn to name two recent examples.
If he is expecting us to create a ponful of chances for him every game in order for him to take the odd one, he’s probably better signing for Barcelona.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Think you may find that 8000 severely reduced next season if Cooks still here.I think we will get better crowds next year if we are relegated. This board is living proof that a winning team is easy to support. One thing that shines on PC’s CV is his ability to get his team out of league one.

What a journey!I lost count of the number of balls whipped into the box only to see a red shirt on the end of um to hoof it away. Bristol City clearly came for a point and plundered 3.
It all seems to go pear shaped when Cook makes his subs. Its no reflection on the subs, it just keeps on happening week in week out.
We need to follow Gelhardt’s lead and start having a few punts at goal. We spend an eternity passing the ball sideways 30 yards from goal, nobody wants to have a pop yet we have players who can strike the ball well.
As we keep saying its time for a change but it won’t happen.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Yes McGurk was a revelation. When the teams came out they had a 6’6″ centre forward and we had the 5’2″ winger. There was only one stand out player amongst those two and our man looked 3 leagues above the Spurs mon. Consider the catchment area and pick of the crop Spurs have, our lads looked far the better prospects. There wasn’t one player on our team that played bad. Talk about a well drilled all know their responsibilities bunch of kids. I hope Cook and Richardson took note of their work ethic and battle till the end mentality. If he doesn’t bleed some of these lads into the first team squad, not just Gelardt, he is a bigger fool than we all think.
Forget they are only U18’s blah, blah, blah, 7 or 8 of those Spurs lads will make the grade, they are no slouchers having beaten a fantastic Liverpool team in the previous round.
Our club is in good hands if Cook and gang do what they should and test some of these lads at championship level sooner rather than later.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Don’t agree with your last comment took their right back to pieces for the second goal.
Wasn’t the star man though, that for me was little McGurk closely followed by Joseph and Wier. Also like the left back Robinson. That team performance was the best all round display from a Wigan Athletic team I’ve seen in ages. Definitely 3 or 4 of them lads should be nurtured into the first team squad.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!
