Jacob Murphy was handed his 12th start for Sheffield Wednesday at Wigan this afternoon. The 24-year-old scored his 4th goal of the season in the 32nd minute to put the Owls up 1-0. However, Wigan were able to snatch two second-half goals to get all three points.
BRILLIANT! The ball from Bannan to release Fox, then the ball in from the left back was inch-perfect for Murphy to head home!

Here is a clip of Murphy’s goal and it’s a wonderful header from the winger.

Kelland Watts made his debut in the starting eleven for Mansfield Town as they traveled to face Oldham. However, it was one to forget for the 20-year-old as Mansfield fell 3-1 to the Latics. Watts played the entire game and was used in a defensive midfield role. The loss drops The Stags to 21st in League Two just 2 points above the relegation places.
STAGS' XI: We make one change for tonight's game against @OfficialOAFC – with new man @KellWatts1 making his #Mansfield debut! ?

Comment #41Anyway, went to the match Sat. Was so near the pitch I could have headed the ball. Was Abysmal, hope we do better this week. Need the three points. Might see the 2 new players.

Comment #42Thought Sean was slow and couldn’t pass, mind he wasn’t the only one, yet he played better when Matty came on. The new lad was tidy, being his first game in while he will probably get better.

Comment #49Hey everyone,
I’ve noticed the blog issues as well. On my phone, the first letter of each line is cut in half on the left-hand side. On my laptop, posted links aren’t blue hyper-links. Not sure what is going on. I’m pretty sure Neil or Ed haven’t made any changes to the settings, so it must be some issue with WordPress. I’ll be sure to mention it to Neil in the morning so he can investigate further. In the meantime, bear with us! 🙂

The only issue I have is massive gaps between contributers posts .
Large gaps of nothing but white .
I can live with that , it’s been going on 6 months and the problem is maybe my end ..not too worried about it I still get to read everything.
None of the issues you have here.
Hope your well and always think of Ed at least once a day ..dont have to be here for that thought to cross my mind .

That is really strange (the gaps of white between posts). Maybe try a different browser?
And thank you for keeping Ed in your thoughts. Neil said today wasn’t a good day for his dad and that Ed was feeling poorly. So any positive thoughts/vibes sent our way are certainly appreciated.

Sorry to hear Ed’s not been too clever of late. This takeover saga’s sickening everybody!

Carltoon there is a big box of what you need for Malawi here and the girls don’t know where to take it .
If Neil or the Wife could forward the shop name to my email they will drop it off .
You don’t have to be around , they will leave you a note on the box.
