It doesn't seem very long ago that everyone was so optimistic that the devil (aka Corney) had been banished back to hell and the saviour had arrived from the east. Since when, we've been relegated, had a poor first season in the basement division and are now constantly floundering around at the bottom end of the football league. Marvellous.... simply marvellous. How does the saying go again? ............. Be careful what you wish for?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still better than the other centre back options for now (doesn't say much) and I think him and Piergianni will be a good enough partnership to keep us away from the relegation spot, but when safety is all but assured I'd have no problem if he didn't play for us again. Same with most of our permanent players to be honest. I liked Piergianni at Morecambe, won the majority of high balls , his positional play got better as the game went on, he is a commumicator, i think him and Wheater could strike up a decent partnership, and this guy who hasnt played much at Salford..

nzlatic Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Despite the total dominance and best display of the season in the 2nd half that Dino talks about in his interview, just watched the highlights and other than the goal and a self made chance from Smith where he hit the post it doesn’t show one other decent chance being created. Macclesfield on the other hand could and probably should have scored 3 or 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 A fair result with each team dominating a half. The inability of either team to convert chances explains why both are basement sides. In the end both goalkeepers culpable. Referee appears to have had a virtual VAR moment. When viewed from touchline I'm told by a Macclesfield supporter that it did look like handball and he thought the 4th official in front of him gave the penalty. In the cold wind the 8 minutes of injury time was painful. On the plus side I thought Carl P the Salford CB was our man of the match with a much better performance than the hapless disinterested Wheater. Lets hope he does as well at Stevenage. I couldn't tell how good Mani D was and looked forward to seeing him do his stuff in the second half but he went off injured. Chris N'G looked like a player who needs time to settle - his lack of first team football was obvious. As a team we seemed to think that as we had someone over six foot up front that every ball should just be lumped up the field. Didn't work. Poor league 2 football in a biting wind. The beer was the highlight of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south east latic Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Another poor performance all truth be told. Dino is taking the p*** in his post match conference suggesting us fans are happy with a bit of running around and chasing. It would also be good to see a bit of football and some chances. Aside from a decent 15 minute spell at the start of the second half, we never looked likely. Macclesfield, whilst not great, could have been 2 or 3 up before half time but for a couple of decent stops from Woods (who later had a massive brain fart for their goal). Part of me has sympathy with him given the absolute tripe he has to work with but he doesn’t help himself with his comments - we’re not stupid. Scenes for our goal were great - reminded me of how it should be following Latics. The away attendance on the other hand shows just how damaging this regime has been.

oafc1955 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Just watched the highlights, just how did Macc not manage to score in the 1st half when 3 on 1? I’ve also watched the Wheater handball over and over and for me and I don’t think it’s hand ball, how the Lino could call it from his vantage point is beyond me WTF was Woods doing anyway, he could have easily caught the hoof or at least punched it clear!!! Listening to the match, Macc had all the chances and really should have won the game with ease. I still maintain that a big striker will not make any difference to our results, this an awful Oldham side, probably the worst I have ever witnessed!! ************ABDALLAH OUT************ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 *Puts tin hat on* I think Wheater handball's it. I know the ref doesn't see it, so I can only presume the 4th official gives the penalty. This is compounded by the players' reactions. Their players surround the referee and when the ref gives the penalty, none of our players protest, especially Wheater. If it wasn't handball our players protest should as much as theirs did before it was given, especially in the circumstances. That being said, I don't think it's a penalty. As their player makes Woods drop the cross by using his arm. It is my understanding that under the new laws for handball it should be our free-kick. Having said that I think a draw might be the fair result. While we created more chances until our goal they had the better chances. We were saved by their pitch in the first half when someone squared it to their striker who was through on goal but the pitch caused him to miscontrol it and affect his shot. I was suitably impressed with Piergianni, who I thought played well and didn't need coaching through the games. I'm less sure on Mani, while he did win more headers than Desire or Wilson would have done, he didn't seem to use his height to its fullest. Finally something on Macclesfield, the club, they seemed even more dysfunctional than Oldham. I'm aware loads of Latics fans were left outside at kick-off because they had to buy tickets first, something that always seems daft, especially for an open terrace. Furthermore, at HT in the bar queue, they had 2 people serving, but actually this was only 1, as they had 1 person serving and 1 person taking the money. So despite getting in the queue a few minutes before the HT whistle and being a quick drinker, I still missed the 2nd half kick off. I wouldn't be surprised if those people late to the queue missed the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half. For a club that needs the money for one of their biggest games of the season they made it stupidly hard to collect money from away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th official shouldn't have a view on it. He is simply their to take the flak from the managers, not help the ref. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Fair play to those fans that made the effort to go on Saturday. 872 hardy souls apparently....but less than half of the quoted 1,826 last season and we know that there were quite a few more in amongst the home fans. To me this should be the clearest sign yet to the clowns in charge, that many fans are just about done with the club until they fuck off. My guess is less than 100 will be at Stevenage tomorrow, even with me and a Rotherham supporting mate, and think we will be lucky to get 2,500 at home on Saturday with the protest etc. #ReclaimTheFaith gathering momentum I hope!
