I see Anthony Cole-Johnson is off already. #wafc

Caldwell looks a broken man in his post match interview. Devastated by the loss of his mate, and the impact of the loss on Kevin Miller’s family. Tuesday just doesn’t matter. Give them all a week off and just forfeit the match. It just doesn’t matter. #wafc

It’s hard, isn’t it? On the other app it’s toxic to say ‘at least we’ve got a club’. But it’s true, and without Danson that probably wouldn’t be the case. And he also has #wafc up for sale. I don’t feel as if the lights will be switched off on his watch. But… and it is a big but…

We’re not going to get anywhere near survival this season. We just can’t compete in L1 as things are #wafc

Not the greatest 45 mins from #wafc but I guess there are mitigating circumstances

Caldwell repeatedly calling Reggie Walsh ‘Reggie WATSON’ in his post match. He’s definitely got Ben’s lad in his head. #wafc

I also think that was Mellish’s best game in a #wafc shirt

To gain a point at the league leaders and free scorers with this team is an absolute tactical masterclass by Gary Caldwell. Brilliant! #wafc

Am I being completely wishful in my thinking/misremembering in my belief that Saydee will add a bit to this team? #wafc

How on earth haven’t we scored????? #wafc

Well, so far so good. The team are competing, giving their maximum, and that’s all we can reasonably ask of them #wafc

Survival doesn’t rest on today’s result. But we look so desperately short #wafc

I’m 46. Nearly 47. I was the first in my family to support #wafc. In 92-93 season, we played Ipswich in the league cup. I went to my first match. We drew. My dad took me. Then on Saturday we played WBA at home. Dad came too. I think we won. I never missed a match. We got relegated that season.

He’s hooked those two lads because the game’s probably gone and he doesn’t want to risk injuries #wafc

Feels like those days in the PL when we just couldn’t compete with the opposition. Stockport aren’t Chelsea/Man Utd, but we aren’t the same club as back then, either #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
They are good but we have nothing up front and our defence are all over the place. I just don’t think we can compete with clubs resourced like Stockport any more #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
It was a cracking strike from them but injuries to four attackers have left #wafc really short at the top end of the pitch

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I don’t want to be downbeat after a win, but it’s not a great sign that after four league games #wafc now have three players out with hamstring injuries that will take ‘months’ to heal. Hypothetically, clubs can reduce the risk of players gaining soft tissue injuries. Not great

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I thoroughly enjoyed that win and (most of) the performance #wafc

We say this a lot, but this referee has has a stinker #wafc

Great 45 mins. Only complaint is the usual one… if our finishing was better the game would be put to bed. But it’s only 1-0. The performance has been great so far… and what a hit from Jensen Weir #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I’m definitely not condoning #wafc’s abject failure yesterday but: 1. Humps is ‘only’ a 10 goal a season forward. He doesn’t lead the line. On the other app there are reports he would have cost £350k. In our situation we can’t pay that for him. It’s what we got for Lang, almost half what we (cont)

I think this summer saw Danson’s equivalent of Au Yeung putting the club into administration or Al Jasmi not paying the players. The good news is his loss of any interest didn’t give #wafc the nuclear shock of the other two. I still think he’ll keep the lights on. But we’ve been cut right back.

I just don’t think this #wafc has enough in it. I’m pleased we upgraded the goalkeeper today. But I just fear we won’t run survival even close. It’s done now, I guess. Not the fault of the team. We just have to get behind them. But it’s undeniably disappointing, and troubling for the ongoing future

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
We need a couple of old warhorses. Paul Cook talked about Hunt, Roberts and Dave Perkins as ‘exceptional pros’ who wouldn’t let team mates daily standards drop. I know little about Hogan but on those grounds understand his appeal. It’s just none of the forwards would be goalscorers. #wafc

I remember the Swain days very well. Keith Gillespie cheered me up on a couple of months loan, and there was a great home game vs Chester. But it wasnt fun. Pat Gavin, Neil Morton and Phil Daley just couldn’t score. The goalie, Farnworth, he was decent though. Do we have an Andy Lyons? #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
We just aren’t good enough in either box. This will be the fourth relegation rival we’ll have lost to. If we don’t improve in both boxes, it looks a challenge to be able to compete at this level. #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
If Murray is unavailable (injured? Off somewhere else?) I’d have started Archie Harris or K’Mari Miller at left wing back. Both look suited to the role #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
First half we were poor in both boxes. Second half we were poor all over the pitch. #wafc have some very skilful players. But we need a goalkeeper and a bit more competitive edge. Football talent alone doesnt usually win matches

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
There was lots of that half to like. In many ways we played pretty well. But we have to be better in both boxes #wafc

Goalkeeper making Rich O’Donnell and Adam Bogdan’s #wafc starts look ‘solid’

Absolute garbage, that. Higgins gets a pass but #wafc absolutely woeful

If Perkins scores were on the pitch 🎵 🎶. Thought he was somehow going to miss but glad he got it in. Good play from Higgins #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Fox, Mellish, Miller and Harris all on the pitch. All almost certainly left backs as their first position. We are not playing anyone at left back #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
3-0 down on 50 mins on the first day of the season with reshuffles forcing a centre midfielder to play centre back and a left back to play centre midfield. Damming #wafc

Chapman struggling here. Oh. 2-0. This is garbage from #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
We need more from the wing backs. Tough job, but we currently have very little width #wafc

I see Matt Smith has moved on from Lincoln. With Baba and possibly Brennan moving on, I wonder… probably not, in reality, but I expect we’ll see him in L1 #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
Think we’d have probably won that in 94th min with VAR in operation. Just saying… #wafc

Pete Millward @petemillward79.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
Loads of positives. You wouldn’t need a data analyst to point out why #wafc didn’t win. All directions point to the need for a striker who can stick away three quarters of the ‘3/4’ chances. Good money raised. Little reinvested. Maybe we can’t, maybe we just don’t generate enough. But that’s it.

If this was on Twitter I’d get some goon hashtagging this story as ‘never happened’ but it did, so I’ll share. I live in Liverpool. Yesterday, I was in the city centre with my kids. By raw chance we saw Ryan Lowe in town. He was sat outside a coffee shop on Paradise St with another man. #wafc 1/2

Absolutely battering them. The game should be over. It isn’t. Lots to be happier about though #wafc

We looked extremely well coached in that half 👏 #wafc

I just hope that goal gets Costelloe up and running. I think there might be a player in there… somewhere #wafc

Could and should be 4-0 up. Wow! There’s a positive and a warning sign in that. Absolutely battering these bad grasses. But it’s still 0-0. Wow #wafc

Saydee’s squad number drop to 38…🥶 Darcy and Adeeko haven’t got one (at least not today). 5 and 10 left available might suggest anticipated incomings in the positions that relate to those numbers will be instant starters #wafc
