Smiler13 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 After today's performance we need a new Manager, goalkeeper a must, and a mobile centre back. That was the most embarrassing display of football from an Oldham team in years. The French guys are out of their depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The cold hard facts are becoming difficult to defend. It sounds as though we are playing some good attacking football but we've now conceded more than half the goals we conceded in the whole of last season. That's in 9 games compared to 46! After today, no matter how good the attack is, we need to do what we can to sort out our crisis in defence. I'd always give Shez the time to sort things out and him leaving wouldn't even come close to solving all our problems. However in any other club the knives would be out and he would be in serious danger of losing his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckyd Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 If Shez goes (think that he will and should go if he himself says he wont change tactics, even though we ship goals and have lost all but two games) i think we need someone who knows the English game and lower divisions. Concerned at the names that have been touted on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) He's a dead man walking it's just a matter of time now it's a shame it's come to this but it's just a case of when we can get a new man in place before Corney or Lemsgram pulls the trigger.

Stagger Lee Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I would still give Shez until November but he needs to change tactics, and change Edmundson / Ruddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler13 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I would think that is days are numbered. Once Corney goes then Sheridan will go. We desperately need a defensive coach to sort this mess out. Pity Stott is not match fit. Gerrard and Clark is not working. Last year they hardly played together due to Gerrard being injured. It was Stott that helped keep us up with exceptional goalkeeping from Ripley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Future? He hasn’t got one. Does he deserve one? Not sure he does any more. Shocking performances coupled with sulky and stubborn management. Doesn’t look pretty. Edited September 23, 2017 by kowenicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Rotherhams expected huff and puff for the first 5-10 mins of the second half, we were in control without really threatening. I always thought we could and should have stepped up a gear. But we slipped one, conceded a second and crumbled. We actually played some neat non panicky football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OL9erlatic Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Think that's him done now, didnt go today myself but same old same old from the lads who went. We have gone from a boring, gritty, goalless, clean sheet machine of last season to a gung-ho style team, missing out a huge area of transition in the middle, 3 oil tankers as defenders wont work if you are pushing further up the field especially if there isnt a tackle in any of your midfield. Gerrard & Clarke worked last season because we sat deep and had no space in-behind and even though they had 2 very limited midfielders infront of them at least they put a foot in and broke play up. Even Iniesta and Xavi had to have a stable base to play from in Busquets. Be very suprised if he hasnt got a pile of removal boxes outside his door on Monday, sad as it is but nowhere to go from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler13 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) You forget Gerrard and Clarke hardly played together last season. Gerrard was out injured for the biggest part of the last 20 games. The defence was Wilson , Clarke and Stott Edited September 23, 2017 by Smiler13 Missed a sentence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler13 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Well I think that's what he's doing trying to get sacked knowing the new owners have a bob or two. I know he saved us the last two seasons but he had just been sacked and needed a job. He's not had any loyalty to the club ever since he got the sack after the Dogs incident.

blueatheart Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Shez goes. Abdullah's man gets parachuted in. Abdullah plays puppet master and picks the team. Definitely the better of the two scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they hardly played together due to Gerrard being injured. It was Stott that helped keep us up with exceptional goalkeeping from Ripley Some fact checking needed here, I'm afraid. Gerrard re-joined last season with 21 games to go. He and Clarke played together 14 times, during which time we won 7, drew 3 and lost 4, conceding 14 goals. Also, 4 of the 7 when they didn't play together were the last 4 games of the season, by which time we weren't quite safe but were in 17th and had most of the hard work had been done. Stott played in the last four games of the season, two of which were when we were already safe. Having said that, I don't dispute that Stott has a promising future (although he also isn't the quickest so there's no guarantee he wouldn't also suffer in this system) and that Clarke and Gerrard are being more exposed this season (although a lot of that is down to the system, the poor goalkeeping behind them and the lack of protection they get from the midfield).

Smiler13 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 If Shez has said that Ruddy did nothing wrong in today's game he needs sacking quickly. Ruddy is a liability. He must have been watching a different game to me. We need to bring in a defensive coach quickly someone like Peter Shirtlif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
