We’ve played 10 games.

We’ve played 5 of the top 8.

We’ve played 5 of the bottom 9.

 those We’ve not had an easy start, but it’s not been as difficult as many imagine. 

Two of those bottom nine are Wycombe and MKD, who most would've anticipated being in or around top six when the fixtures came out, so we entered the season thinking we had a tough(ish) start.

Mr Opti back in his rightful place 🙂

Oh aye, overall leader right now, it's like winning the Papa John's Trophy.

I think I'd say England are my 'second team'.

Hope it doesn’t mean Mighten is playing 

That was my first thought too.

I wouldn't mind him coming on as a 2nd half sub to change things up a bit if needed, or just to get more game time if we're looking comfortable.

So the international kits are breaking cover ahead of the World Cup....

Here are a few of them.

Holland (H&A)

If he shaved his head for the first photo he wouldn't look out of place on a Hari Krishna retreat wearing that shirt.

Just done it, but as others have said it's too long and gets very boring.

New signing Scarlett scored a brace to give me a 2-1 victory (I think)

Hate to break this to you mate, but Hardie is £2m, not £1.5m (unless I've missed an updated list)

Actually, going on the 'born in 1993' it must be Will Vaulks surely.

If I wanted to change my defence to SWFC in the next transfer window, would I need to transfer one of my two SWFC players first?

Well, that was out of the blue. I've not seen Wilks mentioned over the last few weeks.

Might have missed it i suppose

Just beat me to it 😁

Well that's another transfer that's come out of the blue. Love the way we keep these things under the radar 😏

Seriously, I think he could prove to be a great addition, so long as he's happy to play his part in a rotated front line rather than expecting to play every game. We seem to have a VERY strong squad for this level, so should look to utilise it.

Fleetwood H Aug 27th - WIN

Barnsley H Sept 3rd - WIN

I saw in a newspaper (or it could be The Star) that we were being linked with a young Shrewsbury striker, Maybe for one of the youth teams?

Apparently, Nixon has said we're giving a trial to Lewis Lloyd (never heard of him) an 18 year-old. Hopefully one for the future, but not really newsworthy I'd have thought.

Oh yeah and the ref again was completely anti Wednesday. Not sure what we’ve done to deserve it/ 

I know what you mean, we've picked up so many cards already and I'm sure our opponents in both games so far haven't had one (could be wrong)

However, having watched the highlights, I think we need to to thank the ref for the penalty. It looked to be clearly outside the box. Lovely forward dive from Windass though to cause some doubt.

Is anyone still playing this? If so, the season starts again this week and selections need to be in by 14.45 on Saturday.

No prize money again unfortunately.

'Owlsonline B' didn't have enough players again to compete as a team last season, though I did reasonably well in the individual league finishing around 10th (3rd the season before)

If there are enough regular players, could we reassign them to make a competitive team or two?

1-1 draw
