A nightmare consortium of DC, the cast of Rainbow, Liz Truss, Orange Donald & Jack Nicholson from the The Shining. Our Leighton can only look on in stunned disbelief.

We've no-one else available thanks to Elephant Man so he either starts or comes on as a sub. Anywhere else or under normal circumstances here, he would have been bombed out completely or sent on loan to somewhere like Newport. He needs one to go in off his nose, backside or anything just to give him some confidence back, but it may be beyond that now. When you're a striker in that sort of run, you go back to basically goal-hanging to play your way back into some sort of form & confidence. That would be in a normal team/squad though. Not the patched up, threadbare team that we have at the moment.

Lowest point was the Middlesbrough game & the days leading up to it. We were in a dark tunnel then & couldn't see any light. Now we are still in that tunnel, but can see some light & it will get steadily brighter. Can you imagine what today would have been like if Elephant Man was still clinging on here? It doesn't bear thinking about.

I was surprised he said it, but doubt he would if we'd have got a point or more from that game.

He has been dealt the crappest hand in our history thanks to Elephant Man.

The result & the score were not a shock, but the lack of fight was. Blades would never have had a better chance to run up a cricket score against us & for whatever reason they didn't go for it. What surprised me most was Wilders comments after the game - he acknowledged that we are a sh*tshow thanks to DC and spoke very highly of Baz & Liam Palmer - whether he would have done that if the outcome was different is another matter. Not a game to look back with any fondness. Harry A was ok, the keeper bailed us out a couple of times & Cooper looked decent if rusty when he came on. But otherwise, - meh

Jewell was basically lied to about how bad things actually were, just to get a manager in the door.

Yes. The kids in the lower Lepp used go mental when it came on.

Nolan Sisters? Beethoven? Demis Roussos? The Jam? Wham? Sabrina Carpenter? Manual & His Music Of The Mountains? What? Who? What?

I can't decide whether Brighton 83 or Everton 86 upsets me more. Brighton were on the way down & were there for the taking. Everton had beat us twice in the league but had Lineker out injured - surely 3rd time lucky? Erm...no On balance 86. But there was the compensation of being 17 & at college and having found a nice girlfriend who helped me take my mind off the defeat that weekend.

Post Chansiri? Great idea. Pizza oven or wood chipper?

He would squirrel it away in an old tree. Where it would be shredded and turned into a nest by a family of squirrels. Succesful Businessman strikes again.

Just watch him start scoring now. Nurse? What have you done with my tablets?

Forget Xmas. We still need a party just to celebrate Elephant Man being stuffed into a cannon and fired in general direction of Bangkok.

Remember Billy The Fish in Viz? The Fulchester Utd team manager either resigned or was sacked every other week. Only to be reappointed for the next game. Wilder is like that manager. He has turned them into a comic strip, only they don't have Billy The Fish in goal - but they do have Syddie The Sloth in midfield.

Possibly. But they would only replace him 3 days later with.....Chris Wilder.

"I blame West Ham. And Carlos Tevez".

Another we missed out on was when Wilko was told by the board : 'We're not spending quarter of a million quid on some unproven centre-half from Middlesbrough' That was Gary Pallister who signed for Man Utd a couple of years later

I think there is something weird going on with emails for some people... I bought a ticket for Charlton. No problem there, it arrived by post but they usually email a receipt which never arrived. Didn't think anything of it at the time. Bought one for West Brom. Now this is were it starts getting weird - rather than post a physical ticket, they email you one of those print at home ones - it never arrived, nor did a receipt. So early last week I spoke to the ticket office & they said they would email it again. Still didn't arrive so I spoke to them again next day (went in the store). They suggested trying another email address which I gave them, but it didn't come thru to that either. The lad I spoke to couldn't have been more helpful & as I final try he said he would email it to himself & forward it to me. He said it wasn't sending to him either. The workaround was that he put a note on the my account & if I went in the ticket office at West Brom & gave them my name, they would print me one off. This is what happened - quick check of my details & they made a quick phone call to SWFC ticket office to confirm. In & out with a printed ticket in less than 5 mins - hats off to the West Brom ticket office ladies who again were most helpful. I can log into my ticket account no problem, but it's the emails from SWFC that aren't getting through. I'm sorry to those who are experiencing problems with emails & hope it can get resolved. I thought it was just me. I wonder if in all the recent excitement the IT side has been a bit overwhelmed? Or DC neglected it when he was here like a lot of other things? I was certainly not going to have a go at the staff, not after recent events & all the other stuff they've had to put up with.

Think he lives here :

Too much of a project for him I would suggest. Not my first choice either, though he's still be a 250% upgrade on DC. But I doubt it will be him, he's just kicking the tyres.

The annoying thing is that he looked really good when he was here on loan - but then he had the likes of Windass, Gassama & Musaba creating chances. When he came back, he was only half fit & never really picked up. Now he's in a team that struggles to create chances. To say he's not been great is an understatement, but his confidence must be through the floor - you can see that in the way he plays, He just needs a effort to go in - deflection, off his knee, backside whatever, just to give him a boost & bit of belief back.

"The boycott had 0% impact".....apart from New Avenue pulling the plug on DC. Stick to waving your size 6 trotter-booties in the car park, Mr Well Known Member.

Well, the Crab and The Goose agreed with him anyway, so that's ok. Sadly, I think the Crab must have been playing in midfield for them today, based on the result...too many sideways passes & giving the ball away. And the Goose will be stuffed and gone by Xmas.
