Re: Coyle's Army
I think we were under an embargo as well? We were, for missing installments on Eagles and possibly Paterson, I believe. We would have been absolutely knackered without that promotion and we'd have lost some key players. Sheffield United and Preston, who both lost in those 2009 play offs, were playi...

Re: On this day
25 years ago today since we beat Macclesfield at home 4-3. Little, Cowan (overhead), Payton and Davis (last minute).
We'd been 2-0 down and this game was probably the start of Stan's team finally taking shape. I'm not sure we lost for the rest of the season?

Nothing to do with Coyle at all, we were in a state. We had to take Mee & Trippier on loans and then got them cheap with huge sell ons because we had no money.
