Lags

Who?

In the old days we could always console ourselves we were robbed without VTR evidence to dispel it, which was great. Now we just get evidence the decision is open to subjective decisions.......so what was better?

No relation at all, I was his Dad's best man. Matts older brother was also a good footballer. Matty was at oldham prior to joining City. I believe we got a drop for his development.

Gorton was some keeper for sure. I wonder what he did with his life? This signing of Dan seems an odd one to me given what we are crying out for.

Predicting the score is a complete lottery. So providing Alty miss their chances (cos every side we play get plenty) I am going 2 1 Latics.

You are quite right

We may well have more talented players (off performances we don't know that for sure), what we can certainly say is, we have a squad unwilling or uncapable of leaving it all out there on the pitch. The other possibility is they are leaving it all out there on the pitch it what they perceive is their own position, hence not for the team.

What's it got to do with Barry Owen? It wasn't even a thread he was mentioned in. It was regarding Ian Moore celebrating his goal!!!! Sealioning I don't even know what that is. Some on this board defo have that Mandela thing ( and yes I even had to look up what that meant ) And I talk shite!!! EDIT: No one is your enemy, least of all me. You choose to reply to one of my posts, I didn't understand it. If I had, I'd have a chance to reply back.

I actually understood that one. Pity Monty didn't reply the other day when I completely didn't.

The dust has settled and I've read all the comments. First, the match. We got thumped by Fylde who simply out ran, out muscled and just wanted it far more. Our players are too weak, too small and too slow without the required heart to over come their ability shortfall. I think Shelton needs the door but he wasn't anywhere near the worst last night. Hogan needs calling into the office today and being told in no uncertain terms as captain he has responsibilities. First to be the gaffers leader on the pitch getting into the players ears when required, geeing up when heads go down and leading by example. The example getting the second yellow after whinging (again) to the officials due to being bullied is not leading. If he can't do it hand in the armband. Green needs telling if he doesn't up his effort, he's out. Scoring a goal is not his only role and will not save him the chop. He's weak and a poser. Sheron I think does try and maybe he's excelling above his ability in which case needs replacing with a better standard player. Will Sutton is being done week in week out, get him out the firing line and certainly away from RB, he too slow for that. Both keepers are not good enough. Nothing more to add on them. Kitching has been our most effective crosser of the ball or our out ball. he wasn't great last night and if he's to keep getting forward to cross then midfield need to cover or one of Hobson and Hogan need to shuffle across and fill the void for the ball over the top in the space he's left. Tollitt lost the ball on each occasion he touched after coming on last night and the odd worldy he produces is not enough to save him the chop due to his poor work rate as team member. Once the forwards are provided some quality service creating chances or half chances we can dissect their performances on the jobs they are primarily employed for. However I'll say it now Nuttall will not cut it. We are too slow, too small to compete in the National League. Even during the 8 game run that was still evident. Like I posted pre last night we rely on the opposition missing their chances every game. Not the place to be. Over to MM and the board to manage the ship outs and capable players in, because that's what is required. Who agree's with that lot?

I'd get Will Sutton out for now. Gets done every time even against moderate pace. Where as Kitching goes missing after marauding forward usually.

I thought Ribby Hall too, never heard of Newton Hall.

Sounds like a plan

Definitely, small steps before leaps. Lots of issues to iron out.

TBH had there been no pitch incursion or Roccy lads wading in to the young lad I would have quite liked the liberal stewardship. Everyone partying and having good time in a stand where chances are there would have been no arguments happening. Let's not forget no one was sitting down either or that rule being enforced which helped the party atmosphere. Just a shame football fans aren't treated this way anymore, if they were perhaps more would be content to not go further. I've always said beat a dog enough and it will believe its a bad un.

For sure aisles, against the advertising boards, on the pitch and drinking beer. Anyone would think it were the scousers or Millwall in town. Poor steward and policing.

I did think that

I was referring to Ian Moore.

I can't blame anyone celebrating scoring a goal, full stop. Burden Park back in the day was an hostile place for sure, there were always more Notlob on the embankment than Latics fans.

Loads near me the whole game

Plenty seats unused....

I would hope for Will Suttons sake and the side he's rested for this one. That's not to say he was to blame for the goals on Saturday he just needs taking out of the firing line for now. Green gets a pass due to scoring a goal and laying it back for Sheron to fire home however, his defensive duties need improvement. We all know even though on paper we are in good form with the undefeated run that we still allow good chances to the opposition so we rely on them missing the chances whilst we take ours. Once we address this then we become contenders. So I am going 2 1 Latics Tuesday. Will MM go for the same line up?

I am going 2 1 latics on the basis Fylde will miss their chances bar one.

All jobs are good. Some are paid better than others. Some jobs aren't paid there worth. Not everyone can drive rockets to Mars, however most take pride in what they do. That's OK in my book. I know this much, I don't call anyone a c*** on here, never have, don't need to and I very much doubt you do in real life. I don't know you from Adam but I'd wager you're better than that.

Then you'll know some of the stuff being posted here yesterday and todayis so OTT.
