And thanks to theo for reminding me of what real snowfalls used be like in the (good?) old days.
Not only that there snow ritchie. They don't have a Grand Slam of Darts on the tellybox over there. Nay, it's a Grand Slam of Curling. Well what else could it be?
You don't get "Hhhhhaaaarrrdddd!!!!" yelled at you in the pub playing darts now do you?

Well as far as dull 1-0 games against Wigan go, that one wasn't too bad. Great to see Ollie Turton getting his first Town goal and a deserved man of the match award.
Didn't go tonight. Wasn't in the mood.
Seven consecutive home wins, in all competitions. That must be a stadium record.

Didn't go tonight. Wasn't in the country until yesterday. Then again I don't do many midweek games anyway. A few are compulsory - play-offs, L666s, Sheffield Anybody, you get the drift.

I went tonight, wish I’d done what most of the announced 17k had done and stayed at home/pub.
2 teams desperately lacking a cutting edge.
Town desperately need a striker that improves on Ward,Marshall,Koroma, Ladapo and mr Bojangles.
Whilst it’s good to win it feels like we are limping towards January in terms of performances, just think how much better it’d be with a threat up front.

If only we'd got the Alfie May deal over the line. I think we're just a good striker away from completing a good League One winning side.

I was very glad you won ugly in a pretty moderate game for any neutral. Luckily I wanted you to win!
Wigan were efficient at tying you up, but they didn't really threaten much. Despite the pundit's kindness to Turton, Kasumu was your best player by a mile because he entirely prevented one the division's best players getting involved in the game. That won it for you, AND he assisted on the goal.
You have Koroma who is genuinely a player, but surely your best path is to get something out of Freddie Ladapo. He's got goals and promotions in several different teams in recent seasons. If you leave him on the bench, you'll only make him a bench bunny. The rest of your attacking options just aren't good enough to justify his watching brief. You need a goal threat, and both a physical and awkwardness threat. You're too powder-puff. It gives your defenders no option but to rescue you with goals from dead-ball situations.
The other thing you need to be genuine promotion hopefuls is your goalie coming back. I said this about Chesterfield's Fitzsimmons a couple of seasons ago, Chapman will let you down big-time in an important game. It's one of the few things I've ever been right on ...... and similarly Chapman in goal is the equivalent of painting by numbers.
To me you look quite close to having a good Division One side. On paper you appear to have forward options, but Wakey's right, you need another, also a genuine keeper, and perhaps another defender to ensure you maintain the defensive stability you showed against Wigan. (I wish my team looked as fixable.)
