I certainly hope he will be playing the Wildschut role Sam. Apparently he has the pace and can pass too. Just hope it is in time, but will Bogle be any better as a lone striker than Grigg? If he has the support Grigg as had all season from midfield, he won’t be.
Yes. Grigg has been poor all season and there’s no reason to think he will get any better. There have been enough quality crosses into the box this season and Grigg has either failed to get on the end of or messed up. Stop making excuses for him.
What is baffling is that Grigg is getting a start before him. Obertan must be very, very, very unfit.
What position is Grigg actually meant to be playing in anyway? It’s definitely not as a striker in the box. Obertan isn’t a striker anyway. The whole farce is a shambles. How about trying Obertan as a Teale Grigg as an Ellington and Bogle as a Roberts. Things couldn’t get any worse. May be worth a try sometime.[/quote]

Doesn’t matter what position he’s supposed to playing, he’s been a passenger this season and not worth his place in the team. If and when Obertan is fit I think Joyce will revert back to Bogle up front with Obertan doing the Wildshut role.

In my experience the resentment and vitriol is noticeably more potent coming from the rugby fraternity. I really don’t understand why this should be so given the rugby’s history of patronising Wigan Athletic at every opportunity. If anything, it’s the football lot that should be the ones doling out the spite. It can only be jealousy therefore that drives this hatred, based on what appears to be them having their noses push out from domination of the town’s bragging rights and monopolisation of the media coverage.
I suggest the fact that rugby biased comments are tolerated on this board whilst similar posts on the rugby forums defending the football are not, tends to support my argument.
Tales from the older chaps about the trip to Newcastle and the replay at Springy.My father went to the Newcastle away game on a coach organised by Triangle Valve; it took about six hours to get there (and back). Said the Newcastle fans were very gracious and some were offering him back to theirs for tea and bevvies after the game.
I have thought of one. After being promoted from div 3 there was a pitch invasion and everyone in the stadium pretty much gathered around the players tunnel. The pundit of the time for the North West was Elton Welsby and i believe he had been non too complimentary about the Latics and he appeared out of the tunnel whilst the joyous crowd was chanting for the players etc and this mon Welsby popped up arm aloft with a grin on his face like he was the Queen or something expecting some kind of heroes welcome i presume only to be greeted by thousands chanting ‘Welsby is a wanker’ his face soon dropped and he was never seen again.He felt it necessary to apologise for having our promotion clinching game against Mansfield on ITVs Kick Off program. He said people had complained that they were showing a 4th division match as their featured game.
A ginger head rising to deflect the ball into the top corner of the net at a famous London stadium one day in May 2013.
Heres one for all the really oldies, were there seats of some kind at the back of the pop side at Springy many moons ago?
Yes, in the left hand corner as you viewed the pop side from the Phoenix Stand side.
Didn’t they end up being the bogs?[/quote]What year was it removed, I’m sure I can remember it, but I was very young so I could be imagining it.[/quote]
Sometime in the sixties I think.
Chatting with Harry Lyon in the supporters club bar on Woodhouse Lane and telling him he was my boyhood hero.

Didn’t they end up being the bogs?Fathers sitting their kids on the perimeter wall around Springfield Park and being told to take them off by a passing policeman in case the ball hit them.
My first away game without a minder: Tranmere Rovers v Wigan Athletic, FA Cup 1st Round Proper, 1966 and being lifted bodily off the ground in the crush coming out of the ground. To say I sh1t myself would be an understatement.
The replay when it snowed and Alfie Craig’s disallowed goal that would have been the equaliser. The game hadn’t gone the full 90 minutes and it was reported afterwards that the ref didn’t fancy extra time in the snow and the cold that only Springy Park could muster.
Shipped 5 goals in 2 games, time for a change at the back me thinks!Correct. Buxton and Burn nowhere near good enough at Championship level.
I read an interesting article today a Grimsby fans view of Omar Bogle and they reckon he’s a better forward when he’s playing along side the smaller type forward. They mention Padraig Amond and his partnership with Bogle were Amond hit 30 goals from 40 games.
I wonder if this is Joyces next move, Grigg & Bogle ? will be interesting to see considering both players seem to need another forward by their side.
How do you know Grigg needs another player by his side?[/quote]
Hope you’ve got your tin hat at the ready Jonny?
