Somebody once said when we made it into the big time that the story would have made a far fetched Hollywood film.
What has happened since is beyond even that remark and some but one thing gives me hope and it’s that backs to the wall underdogs tag that we have always had and still have about our club.
It’s arguably what makes the club so likeable up and down the country and has done for decades.
Nobody with any sense of mind would spend half a million quid defending a points deduction I’d there wasn’t any hope of winning the case especially at a club in administration.
Reading the Barnsley twitter feeds over the past few days suggests that the euphoria from last week is now swiftly turning to apprehension.
Believe!!

If ever there was heavy rubble before we hit the mountain summit that was it last night.
Our eternal bogey sides very cynical Dulham and their aerobics and acrobatic show fooled the inept officials at crucial moments and the bad luck of the past month was summed up in one game.
Let’s hope justice is done next week and a precedent set for any future corrupt owners and also the EFL to check them more stringently.
Just have to believe and hope the case goes our way next week.

We played like we did earlier in the season today with the customary late goal against but it could have been even worse especially with the ref keeping the clock ticking far longer than he should have done in my view.

If we go down but survive as a club at least we start with a clean slate next year.
I just hope that Barnsley can pull a rabbit out of the hat today as I dearly hope Luton fail.
That said I am a always glass half full and just have a very string feeling that we will survive on Wednesday.

Arguably the greatest ever Latics performance since we entered the football league.
So much pressure and such a brilliant display that took the breath away.
Could well be safe come Sunday afternoon if we win at Charlton and other results go our way.

i totally agree with all the sentiments , that was a performance from the heart and i doubt any team in the division will be relishing playing this wonderful bunch of players at the moment.
All busted their guts to get that victory and Moore carrying on with hsi injury said it all to me as well as Joffy already ready to get on the pitch before he had been properly treated.
Every game a cup final now , no more to be said!

If this story is true then all integrity of the game is finished in my opinion if the EFL deduct those points as it sets a very dangerous precedent going forward throughout professional football.
Has to be a NO POINTS deduction if we can survive the season and beyond given these alleged exeptional ‘Force Majeure’ circumstances, the most crucial month in our history is now upon us for sure!
One thing is cetain is that no team talk will be needed tomorrow by Paul Cook or the coaching staff.

Well done Cooky on your successful battle against Promotion !!
Without a doubt the best performance of the season so far and such a pity this form didn’t commence a month earlier as we could well have been getting very excited now.
Ten out of ten performance against a very strong (on paper )Stoke side.
Shades of Paul Jewell era with this present bunch now and the first proper upward curve by a Latics team since the premier league era.
