It's in Greater Manchester. There's an IKEA in Ashton.


I forgot about the IKEA. That’s probably why the traffic is as snarled up as Denni.

It's still a reasonable start but we should have won that one .

Still feel like we will draw a lot of games , it's not so bad against Mansfield at home and Walsall away .

But we have already drawn two we should have won really .

Can we continue this steady start against the bigger teams  AND then put all the teams to bed convincingly who we should beat after the difficult start ?

Time will tell  .

Where would we be without eisa - have to say we are very poor going forward other than his absolute piledrivers and vernam looks a passenger. Khan  can't come back soon enough and yet he wasn't a player that nailed down a starting spot last season in a midtable side, concerning.

Most teams will lose more than 1 game from those 5 fixtures we have played.

Getting support closer to Rose clearly needs addressing, as does the left back position unfortunately.

We are improving and we have better players than last year, definitely not all doom and gloom. We are not that far off.......

Sounds like more of the same. Still need a cutting edge, hopefully this week will see some incoming but, again, it’s more hope than expectation.

Is it all that concerning? It was an almost universal observation when the fixtures came out that we had one of the toughest starts possible, and so it has proved; barring Walsall, all of our opponents are in the top 10 and only Wimbledon (currently 4th) weren’t amongst the sides fancied to do well.

Today was frustrating in that we should have seen off a mediocre Walsall side once we got in front, but we’ve ultimately only lost 1 of our opening 5 games. The 21/22 season, when we had that barnstorming start to the season, was a Hurst anomaly - it normally takes his Town sides a little time to get going.

We’ve had a steady if unspectacular start, Eisa’s rockets aside, but Hurst’s CV suggests he will iron out the kinks in due course. I think it’s reasonable to feel mildly frustrated we haven’t taken 3 points today, but “concerned” goes a touch too far for me. We’re ticking over alright, and will get better as time goes on, imho.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.
