Just seen their disallowed goal on Sky.
Their number 10 wipes out Trafford just as the other guy shoots.
Trafford may well have saved the shot but for being taken out.

Disallowed goal is routinely offside. The pass was delayed by which time the man was off. Yes also sevond offside active as impeded Trafford.
Dapo's goal an obvious foul though. Sending off ok if a tad harsh- the earlier one when Dapo was cleaned out from behind was if anything more of a red?

Funnily enough, I said at the time I'd love Burnley to come in for Evatt to see whether
a) He would be humble enough to say that at this time the job was above him
b) He would decline the offer because he wants to see through the "magnificent" journey he, Sharon and the board are on
c) He would jump at the chance, because he's arrogant enough to think he could do it
Which one would I prefer?
Well a) or b) under the proviso that he realises next season is going to be tougher than this and he needs to change the way we play (at least sometimes) to take into account the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents.....and not to use the pitch or weather conditions as an excuse....because both teams are having to deal with those. That he stops the ridiculous routine at goal kicks, when we just invite pressure onto ourselves from the outset. Mix it up a bit, we are too predictable and slow in the build up.
Maybe I'd be happy with c) to see him fall on his face big style and gain a bit of humility.
He's not going to be able to buy himself out of trouble in transfer windows as easily as he has, the longer we stay in Div 1 unless some of Sharon's buddies start stumping up the cash, because next season is not going to be a pushover.

Good points RTF
Burnley will be in the championship in any case I’d guess so perhaps Ian’s level would be the likes of Reading, Swansea etc and he’s probably jump at the chance to better himself, just as he did with Barrow

Can’t see that happening but I think I’d take a chance on a swop with IE for Dyche, I’ve always rated him and I actually think he’d get more out of this squad than IE does. On the other hand, you can’t underestimate the good job Evatt’s done since he came in. With a few additions we really should be pushing for promotion next season which would be quite an achievement over 3 seasons if he pulled it off. Actually I’m fairly happy with the football, although I do agree this passing on your 6 yard box is frustrating to say the least and just invites trouble. It’s so fixed that it prevents Trafford from starting moves to hit teams on the break and just allows the opposition to get men back behind the ball. To be fair both Evatt and the team are still learning so one step at a time. If Evatt was offered the job though, he’d be mad to turn it down. Even if Zburnley do go down, he’s still at a level higher up than us and with a squad that could take him straight back up to the PL. there is no place for sentiment in football and there’d be no criticism from me if it did happen.

Is it me or has the BN sport page gone crap?
Even the new format looks rubbish And I’m not subscribing just so that I can read the full article and the rest of the drivel spouted
I’m also probably sulking as I’ve somehow been kicked off!!! Think it’s more of an account issue as I’ve deffo not posted anything to warrant an eviction 😞😞😫😫

Quite agree RFTR. They seem to be experimenting with new typefaces and layouts, but these are making it much more difficult to read and to pick out headlines, which were previously much more logically formulated. It is unfortunate that our local paper is now in some very inexperienced hands. They write up big stories about the deaths of relatively unknown people, but fail to cover the lives of well known people who have been captains of industry in our town. The undertakers get me with their "husband to", "son to", in their hatches, matches and despatches columns. No-one at the paper seems to have heard of the word "OF". There was a big fire on Bradshawgate but they were unable to specify the exact location. None of their hacks seem to know anything about the town. I have to leave out Marc Iles from this criticism. He works really hard and successfully for us BWFC supporters and is far and away the best thing on the paper. To think the old BEN used to go into almost every home and sold over 90,000 copies a day in its heyday.

I thought the same but ive always seen Derby as the team that coming knocking first, if Rooney goes. Evatt lives in Derbyshire and if they got the backing then he would do a similar task there. Providing they keep players and arent docked they should walk L1 as competative as it is. Wigan lost most of their players and did if with ease. On results Derby are a championship squad. If we're honest we should have won L2 at a canter. Think most managers we were linked with would have got promoted. Would I be gutted to see him go? No but will accept that when the odds for the next manager come in and the usual candidates are there it may feel like we'd be better keeping Evatt. A promotion and a top 10 finish? On paper looks amazing (i'd rate it a B+ and a B) and both those seasons weve had to rip it up and change dramatically in Jan. If Sharon refused to back him in either Jan windows would Evatt be able to coach a team out of relegation fight, which is where we were looking at in both seasons. Would other chairman agree to lose Captain and Vice captain after a disagreement? Hes been good for us but he'd had it all his own way here too. Wouldnt expect that from most other places.

The way I see it, apart from writing the cheques out and arranging family fun days on match days, I think Ians stock is so high and is solely in charge and as long as SB is the licencee, Ian will always pull the pints until he decides to leave

I think that’s more than a bit harsh OM, to win L2 at a canter we would have had to have had a good team from the start, which we didn’t and Evatt could only change it from August after Phoenix had gone and a good job he made of it. Derby could be a good shout if Rooney goes and what a good job it would be for him. Like you though, if he did would we get anyone half as good to replace him and if clubs like Derby rate him that much why would we want to lose him. Are we underestimating what he’s done, after all he’s still learning too?

Maybe Whites. But the squad that started the season had the likes of Santos, Baptiste, Gethin Jones, Isgrove, Darcy, Thomason, Sarcevic, Miller, Ghanoua, Doyle, Tutte and Delfouenso. Perfect? No but no way should we have been near bottom in January.
I dont know many of the Cheltenham, Cambridge or Morecambe team that came up but I doubt they could match that.

There’s been quite a bit of optimism from SB and IE recently
Stuff about a positive future and good times ahead sort of thing
I do wonder if anything is about to come from that BooHoo chap that SB was seen with, with the caption of something like ‘watch this space’ or am I dreaming it that??
Don't think I’d want our shirts emblazoned with their logo, not in my lifetime

No but no way should we have been near bottom in January. I dont know many of the Cheltenham, Cambridge or Morecambe team that came up but I doubt they could match that. I actually think the players you’ve named illustrate perfectly why we weren’t challenging OM. Whatever else you have in your team, if you don’t have goals you won’t win points and we didn’t have goals in those you mentioned. Evatt made a huge mistake maintaining we had enough with basically just Doyle and Dapo, who you left out but who only scored once the previous season. Neither Miller nor Arthur were likely regular scorers so to most of us it was obvious we were light. Had he signed Stockley as many suspected he might, I think we might have done much better but he didn’t and is probably regretting it now. Hindsight’s a wonderful thing but we are certainly better prepared for next season with the right additions in defence and midfield. I’d still go for another striker but much depends on whether Dapo and Rico stay. I believe they will so let’s be positive for our hopes next year.

Well, at least we know who’s coming into our league in Peterborough, Derby and Barnsley, probably alongside FGR and Exeter. I guess it’s time I tipped my hat to Evatt (reluctantly) as he has us placed the highest in this league of the sides promoted from L2 last season, so that’s a positive, I just hope he is backed in the tfr market
