Dougie: All hands to the pump.

Dougie Freedman plans to send his strongest Wanderers team out against Derby County tonight to get the elusive win everyone at the club is craving.

The Reebok clash is the second of three Championship games in eight days for the Whites with a tough trip to Brighton up next on Saturday.

Freedman said: “My thought process is always to plan for three games in a week. But where we are right now, we have to pretty much pick players on form.

“You cannot say we will wait for Brighton and pick a team for that.

“In our situation it is all hands to the pumps.''

“I have pointed out to them their performances are not too far away from winning games of football."

If he really believes that then he's an idiot IMO.

They're actually not that far away.

Which would tell you a lot.

despite how poorly we've played we have had the chances to collect a lot more points than we have.

sadly individual mistakes and really poor finishing have put paid to it.

The problem is Freedman doesn't even know his strongest team.

Just about to turn the corner he says.

It worries me that he thinks he does - as it pretty much guarantees that no young prospects are going to get a game.

Coyle was just the same.

They are a considerable distance off beating teams of an average quality.

Thin ice Douglas, thin ice.

If he turns any more corners, he'll disappear up his own arse.

If memory serves we were heading in the right direction at the end of last season .... so turning corners has put us on the wrong track then?

OC must be the happiest man in Lancashire at this point.
