Used to be a manager for a major high street retail sales company. Had this dopey lad from Wigan working for me. One of his customers came in to do a deal he had arranged with her. It was his day off, so phoned him for his password in order to process the deal in such a way that he would get the commission for deal. He didn't want to give me his password because he knew we would take the piss out of him. Eventually he said "well, you know how the system makes you change your password randomly out of the blue? I was taken by surprise one morning and couldn't think of anything. The woman I was serving had a large hat on so I set my new password as 'largehat'."

When I went to register for Twitter a few years ago, I couldn't think of a username, And I remembered the dopey lad from Wigan and chose 'largehat'. Then just kind of stuck with it when I registered for JA606.

I know.. I always have a bit of sympathy for Wiganers. It's like living in a parallel universe.

Exactly, he was a real muppet but a lovely lad.

He introduced some wonderful words into the team vocabulary, most memorably 'lobby' (a type of stew he brought in for his lunch one day in a butty box.. "what's that Tim?" "It's me lobby") and 'pea-wet' (when you go to the chippy and ask them to pour some mushy pea juice onto your chips free of charge). He was a funny lad.

I was on a caravan holiday and a family from Wigan were in the caravan next to us. The father was sunning himself on the patio when his wife came out and brought him a cup of tea. She asked him if he wanted a sandwich to eat and he replied, ' No thanks Luv, I'll just have a sticky bun'.

Always called sticky buns "sticky buns" in Bolton as I recall - or is the point that he doesn't eat proper?

2. Before this season is out we may well see a forward 6 of

Lee Mavies Holden Wylde

N'Gog Sordell

This I want to see.

3. There is an outside chance that somehow, someway the defence will sort itself out. With those 6 going forward, opposing teams may be less inclined to push forward.

This, I don't believe but would like to.

4. A new manager would spoil my chances of ever seeing this happen.

I had you down as one of the sensible posters, it seems I was wrong. In fact, I think you could be Phil Gartside.

Firstly, you claim he wants to play attacking, entertaining football? Then why does he pick Kevin Davies every week and lump the ball towards him? We haven't seen any decent football from BWFC since Holden got injured. Tactics come from the top, I doubt Bogdan is telling the plyers to play hoofball.

Your midfield four of Lee, Mavies, Holden & Wylde is laughable. You couldn't have picked a more lightweight midfield if you'd had the pick of the local anorexic 14 year olds. Please explain why Mavies will suddenly become a good player after 18 months of anonymity. Why will Lee suddenly be the player he was three years ago? Why will Holden play again this season? And why will Wylde be any good, someone who was hardly a star in the 3rd rate SPL?

Ngog and Sordell upfront? He's had ample opportunity to pair these two, but he prefers Kevin Davies. Why will this change? But even if they do play together, one is injury prone and can't play three games in a row and the other looks unfit and lazy.

If these are your true feelings you have your head in the sand. You seem to think Coyle will wake up one morning and change everything he knows. He won't.

Oh dear Natasha!

I had you down as getting at least a B in comprehension and with some discernible critical reasoning skills, but I've clearly overestimated your talents.

So I write down a wishlist and you analyse it as if it was a) what I think should happen and b) what I expect to happen. Wrong on both counts, but never mind.

I was speculating on what OCs vision for BWFC might be, and if it's anywhere close, I like some bits of it, others not so much. A nice vision - probably the vision the Board bought into (especially as it involved spending less and cutting wages!) - but it's irrelevant as it the "low-cost but competitive" team may never actually compete as a team.
