Agree on the patterns of play. Nothing at all going forward, nor has there ever been. He’s clearly a defensive manager but his sides are so easy to play against, not solid, rarely press, invite pressure and can’t keep clean sheets. When ur defensive the min should be ur good at shutting sides out and his can’t do that from what we seen whether it’s back 5 or 4.

A poor result, tough one on Unsy as the red has killed it but again we don’t look solid and I do t think it’s asking too much for us to shut them out even a player light at home. Overall I could cope with us being where we are with the results if we looked like a good side and had been unlucky, but we haven’t. We don’t score that many, we can’t keep clean sheets, the footy is rank and there is very little improvement. Hopefully the board act this week

Glad to see Reid given a game although feel his pace would be better used when we away. Resting/dropping Norwood a big call and playing Willoughby wide left not really where I want tos see him. Anyway team always good enough to win in this league so let’s hope they put on a performance. I’m going for 1-1

I thought he’d been media trained. We are meant to be challengers! Jesus. What a comment. Can’t get behind the guy, don’t trust him, don’t like him nor his footy. Can’t wait for him to go tbh

They are so deep usually with one of the strikers back as chesterfield are coming down the wings that when we win it there is nothing forward and it’s too far to carry. Long ball only option usually naff delivery and tbh the hold up play from strikers has been poor today. Rank tactics and still no change

not like us to. Concede from a set play. Can’t wait for that one again in the post match interviews

Not a great half although had the best chance. Willoughby a passenger, wide left doesn’t look like his role. don’t mind being defensive but this retreat to 25 years a from goal and stand there is horrible to watch.

Whatever the formation the tactics remain the same. Sat off and even when ball is in our half they don’t press well. When we have it just give it away immediately. We just look a poor side

It’s hard to trust or believe DU, said on a thread only last week. Nothing he says adds up and when u generally look in more depth like on goals conceded he’s wrong. It def like us so far this year to concede from set plays and he should know that!

I’m not his biggest fan because generally I think he can contribute more but when look at goals only and remove his pens his return is terrible. He never really threatens. I can’t see him scoring regularly and we need 2 up top to bag plenty

Hobson was a player of year so clearly has something and I agree I think he should be playing. defence shouldn’t be a prob with the personnel but we have never looked solid during the full reign. We never nullify anyone, even aldershot had chances at 0-0 and again at 3-1. If we play bad we don’t get 0-0 draws.

What a goal, best I’ve seen from us in ages. Giving a few chances away, still not really solid but way way way better today.

finally watched that after seeing the comments. Agree, the credibility and respect dips further when u see that. How can u get behind him when he can’t even come out and give an honest review.

he says it will take time to gel and if they aren’t near the top after a few games it isn’t end of world. U will struggle to find a champion team coming out with rhetoric like that is what I was trying to point to

ha had just watched that IV before logging on here and was about to put same. I get what he’s trying to say but have to say any real arrogant driven winner who’s expecting to be up there would be saying everything that people are mentioning on here. Bad performance, needs to improve immediately, we can’t lose 2 on trot and be playing catch up, standard last week way below what we expect and need. Sounds like he’s just happy to be here

agree. Teams that win leagues will dominate spells of games and force teams back or put them under sustained pressure. Unsy likes his teams to get back in shape when we don’t have the ball. It’ll be even worse to watch that next week when we are at home playing that style against aldershot who will be a mid table team. There’s nothing to suggest he’ll employ a front foot style that gives us a chance to dominate games

0-3 v Mansfield pre season in first proper game against decent oppo. 0-4 today. The optimism is coming from the signings not anything on the pitch. Even the run last season was lucky at times. My worst nightmare is a lucky win at home next week that keeps the pressure off Unsy.

he obv likes them to get back In shape when they not on ball but over and over again it invites pressure. He isn’t going to change, the good thing is though is that the owner won’t accept anything less than a title challenge now. He either gets it to work or him and ebrell will be gone soon

Agree. Results aside and purely performance there hasn’t been any dominant all round performances like Southend have just produced against us, where we have tons of shots and oppo next to none in his full reign. Perhaps dorking away but that is literally it and looks a fluke result now. Not close to looking like a top team in any area

Tactics again horrible. At 1-0 the front two close and midfield retreat to half way. Just make it easy for them. Then kick off at 2-0, anyone see that, pass it back they close we look half hearted lose it nearly lose 3rd. From second goal head went down no fight. Management aren’t instilling a lot from today. Second best all day, never got in behind, never got to byline, looked all over place. Midfield sat off and couldn’t pass. Couldn’t look any further off a team u think will challenge

Totally agree on balls into box. Feel a bit for Sutton who clearly isn’t a wing back. With him there we aren’t going to offer anything right flank going forward

Good save Norman. Second coming here, can’t get any grip on game. Look a long way off here atm. These should tire though second half

1-0 could be a couple already. Terrible start. 2 pre season games these had

We will be aiming quite high in regards to player signings. Reliably informed they are going to try and benefit from the contract changes that are incoming over wages when injured. The general rule will be 3 months injured and I think it’s like statutory sick pay. Latics will honour full payment even if injured in new contracts. If majority of clubs don’t do that it could leave us in a stronger position to sign. The turnover will be substantial though and when that happens it’s never easy to start well so big job for Unsy to get us off to a good start next year
