TheBigDog Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 We are playing like a bunch of schoolboys. We cannot defend, we cannot pass, we simply cannot compete with Fleetwood. Whether he inherited a poor squad or not, we have gone backwards under Dino. There is no structure to our play whatsoever. I didn’t think we could get any worse but we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylla poor too. I'm surprised you think the midfield was the main issue, even though they were poor. The back four were an utter embarassment. Stott nearly gifted them another one on one right at the end, with a pass so bad I'm not even sure who it was intended for. No way he should've seen the final whistle tonight.

Apart from the very sad personal impact for the manager and his family, does anyone really think it would make a lot of difference if we tried Pep Guadiola? The club has structural issues that no manager could succeed under, at least until we drop to a league where the players we have can compete....National League top tier would still be tough for this squad I’m afraid This is what a decade of mismanagement, arrogance and owners with agendas that are not in the best long term interests of the club has done to our Oldham Athletic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have all the desire in the world, they also have to be able to find a blue shirt, and have a vague idea which bit of the pitch they're supposed to be in.

The only hope is at least another four loanees with his ability and attitude. If he had been playing for Fleetwood they would have scored 10.

I don't think the issue was as much desire as simply being much, much slower. Massively out of their depth defence, a super slow midfield, and a 15 year old left to make everything happen up front: what the hell was that lineup?

Bristolatic Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The performance at Gateshead (what I saw from the highlights) and tonight (waste of a tenner) simply confirms that we're not even a League 2 team. We're mid National League at best. That was an embarrassment; no heart, no fight, no ability, unable to string more than two passes together, their keeper could have been sat in a deckchair with his pipe and slippers and the rest of the Fleetwood defence won't have many easier nights. One bright spot was Jonny Smith; he's two divisions better than any of this lot. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't got my tickets for Newport. Now that could turn out even more embarrassing than tonight. I'll still go, though. I wonder if Mo still thinks he's doing a good job. He's delusional if he does.

yarddog73 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Remember when some were suggesting Stott was a suitable replacement for Edmondson Watched the Fulham game back the other day, we've sunk into the abyss since that performance, instead of getting rid of another manager this fucking clown of a Sporting Director needs to fuck right off - the clueless cunt, as well as his gimp of a sidekick Shitpeas, fucking useless the pair of them.

It's football suicide. The manager talks a good game, but so far has done nothing to back it up with any improvement on the pitch at all. We are in a desperate situation, and are not even national league standard. Which was proven on Saturday by having rings run round us by a national league North team. We are sliding towards the abyss, and it looks like there is nothing, and nobody to stop us . Very sad times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager can't motivate most of his players to get out of a canter in a must win game its not looking good for him or the clubs future.

You can blame the manager all you want. Get another one in if you think it will help. Personally I don’t think it would change anything because collectively this group of players is simply not good enough. If they lack fight and desire then that is purely and simply down to them! 100% They are supposed to be professional footballers! This is what they’ve always wanted to do isn’t it?? Changing the manager AGAIN won’t make a scrap of difference. Its a change in some of the playing personnel that’s needed here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
