  1. Superb day out. We also visited the Strawberry Gardens pub before the match, and it's a top boozer. By 2:30 they had ran out of a lot of ale, so they must have been very glad of our custom.

     

    Really enjoyed watching Latics in a "pimped up non league ground". The terrace was bouncing all game, and the sooner we get safe standing the better. Plus the stewards, police and Fleetwood fans all seemed very pleasant, which helped the atmosphere no end. Seeing three sides of an away ground all chanting together at the end was immense.

     

    It was a real shift from the team too, and I'd echo the comments about the front two. Although they didn't carve out many chances, at least they grafted hard and worked the Fleetwood defence.

     

    Connor Brown did a good job standing in at LB, and the midfield terrorized in the second half. Who needs multiple loanees eh?

     

    Journey home was fairly horrid. 40 minutes getting out of Fleetwood. Motorway covered in snow from Bolton, and it took an hour to get from Manchester Road to Moorside. But bollocks to it. EVERYWHERE WE GOOO..
