I know this is only a small incident but he took a free kick just inside our half with forward players around the opponents area. He played a simple pass across to the left flank and it was about 10ft behind the player which resulted in the receiving player being closed down and he had to pass back to Travers. A stationary ball and he couldn't make an accurate relatively basic short pass. Quite shocking for a player at this level.

Just out of interest because I didn't hear the commentary, how did he handle quite an iconic moment for the season so far, last minute winner by a rookie to possibly save the manager's job? Over the years Nige has produced some amazing, memorable radio moments, was saturday one of them?

It will be mostly Shit fans buying the tickets so what's not to like. In fact every club should charge shit fans £500 per ticket.

2 weeks for the manager to get into the players and the players 'get to know each other'(prime excuse) and we get that. Very poor - insipid, no plan, no cutting edge, no organisation, they just amble about while AN scratches his bald heed. He needs to do much much much better as do the players we've signed. Aye sack him yesterday, let's get flavour of the week in quick time. Michael Carrick wasn't it this time last year, unbelievable coup for Middlesbrough, why can't stoke show that ambition, I mean, he owns a comb Youhave done a decent job up to now as AN's PR/fanboy but it seems you are now having a bit of a meltdown. Interested to know how you see the future under AN...'give him time, let the team gel or he needs at least another 2 windows?'

0 - Relegated us. 0 - Wasted millions and mugged off supporters. Tosser. 1 - for being an absolute nutjob. 6 - Rescued us from oblivion 0 - Done nothing except spend anther fortune. Ask me again at the end of the season. Lambert... the board on full throttle incompetence here. Poor timing of the sacking of Hughes which should have been done earlier not as a knee jerk reaction to a cup defeat. Then to scrape the barrel at such a crucial time with the appointment of Lambert was shockingly poor. People gave Lambert credit for tightening us up defensively. But to think you can draw yourself to safety in a relegation scrap is pretty dumb. 13% yes 13% win ratio is kamaraesque. Zero Rowett....An obvious pick for Coates with his almost naive due diligence. Turned out he was a snidey arsehole, dissed a fan's hero and the fans alike. How can anyone give him anything but zero for spunking a fortune on shite and condemned the club to be imprisoned by FFP until now.Zero Jones.... a lesson for all here don't act on advice given by a drunk in a bar as Johnboy did. A man struggling with self esteem always trying to justify himself does not have the character for a high pressured job and so it proved at Southampton. Very nearly got us relegated and credit to Johnboy for seeing how wrong he got this appointment. zero for shelling out 9m on sam Vokes O'Neil....Hallelujah the board got this one right. A sensible calm head to steer us away from relegation and manage us through tricky times with FFP and Covid. and the board got rid at the right time. 6 Neil....I am sure the board love him and he won't be going anywhere anytime soon unless the very unlikely scenario of relegation looms.He loves to talk tactics which is why many amateur tacticians on here love him. But so far his supposed tactical nouse has delivered very little. But I do get excited by the new arrivals and I will be forever grateful that he has dragged the board away from their archaic recruitment strategy of the manager's contacts and whims together with the out of contracts list, onto a proper modern scanning of all markets and using proper due diligence with a professional team in place. 4 The investment in a top recruitment team should have been done when we were awash with money in the premier league. Instead we relied on Hughes's contacts which eventually dried up and Carto's rolodex. What a missed opportunity from a board which had become very complacent and lacked any forward thinking.

I might be imagining this but this season's results and performances eerily mirror last season, win the occasional game in style then get beat by an average coach and an average team. So the backroom staff have all been fired and replaced including the first team coach (gallagher) and recruitment. The players are different only 3 remain starters from last season, but it feels like dejavu, all over again so what HASN'T changed and is the one constant from last season? Sorry no prizes for the correct answer

Pretty joyless in my view. Mostly poor football. Often out coached by pretty average coaches.Players he inherited all performed better under the previous manager. Many on here like his talk which to be fair is detailed tactical plays which some poster no doubt love, but players have rarely responded to his tactics. It's a points business and his win ratio is still less than the much derided MON. Last season it 'wasn't his team'. Now it's need time to bed in new players. Lets hope this process doesn't take too long.

Burnley had better players and a better manager than us. So makes the opening comment a bit irrelevant

Big days coming up for non league as the FA Cup resumes on friday and saturday. Local interest aplenty with the following hoping to progress Nantwich Leek Congleton Hanley Kidsgrove and of course Whitchurch Alport If they progress they earn a paltry £1,500, hardly enough to pay the utility bill. It's time the FA took a look at the prize money allocation....£2m to the eventual winners which will be a rich top 6 club who won't even notice the money hitting their bank account, whereas increasing earlier round payments could have a significant impact on clubs like the above. Anyhow good luck to them all...dream of the next round and maybe a TV appearance.

living overseas i am not able to listen to live commentary so cant comment on this guy. But it seems a strange choice and clearly from reading this thread pretty unpopular. Would like to hear him is there any footage around of past match commentary i can hear?

I thought the thread was going to reveal that he had joined the Saudi mercenaries. Surely that would have been another dream money move for a player and agent who always follow the lucre.

Good to see the two shithouses asking the ref to book their opponents getting booked themselves It was great to see. I didn't know they had introduced this rule, but its very welcome. Clearly the two players waving the imaginery card didn't know the rules either or maybe they did (surely this rule would have beentold to players) and are just thick as pigshit? Also a yellow for taking too much tme over a throw was good to see. Well done the ref, let's hope this consistency continues and becomes the norm.

Glad he got a good reception. I thought we treated him badly and never really replaced him. We did shove him out of the door. I heard it directly from him (was on same flight as him and his wife from Manchester) that he didn't want a move. Genuinely decent guy, glad he is still playing first team at this level.

It's great that this kidiee is progressing and getting an opportunity to perform at this level. It's a major reason why the naysayers against the Carabao cup competition are wrong in wanting the competition binned. A few years back both Souttar and Collins got their first team careers up and running thanks to a decent cup run. Hopefully Sidibe and maybe Tezgal and Lowe might get more game time. In the past it was Bayern suggesting the competition was a complete waste of time and should be binned this season it's the 'Badger Bloke' spouting shite maybe they can have second thoughts. Looking forward to the next round and not just progressing in the competition but progressing the careers of our talented kids.
