    Podcast on youtube about our new manager's philosophy and background.

     

    Type "The truth about my management style : Micky Mellon" to see.

     

    Sorry won't let me give link !!    🦖

     

    The first interview part two shows MM is certainly a thinker of out of the box to enhance his football manager capabilities.  Interesting stuff.

    My money is on ST going to the board and asking did he have the job knowing he's identified the players he wants in. Or at least knowing he'd need these extra players in to advance the form. 

     

    One of the scenarios muted on here must be right.....or must it?

     

    Sooner rather than later all will be revealed. It's never dull being a Tic.

    Honestly, we string 3 passes together at Boundary Park and people moan that no every pass has gone forward. 
     

     

     

    Obviously not with a sweeping brush but I feel a lot of this is stemmed from the frustration that for the most part we don't string 2 passes together, get out played and invariably lose.

    You do know that Gateshead have got players who can pass a football and not Sheron, Shelton, Hogan, Reid, Fondop, Nuttall who treat the football like a hot potatoe and couldn’t trap a bag of cement ? 

     

    And according to Reid, gobby lads. Nowt wrong with that on a pitch providing the football played backs it up.

    Wow. 

    Alex Reid said 'DU hated playing backwards'

     

    l said 'you could see that by how people aimlessly whacked it forwards'

     

    all good so far??

     

    you came on here and out if context said 'Alex reid says DU wanted ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK' which is misquoting as proven by the incredulity of the first reply.

     

    lve stepped in to stop that right there.

     

     

     

     

    you did something very similar the other day with Harry Vaughan and in the past with Barry Owen. stop it.

     

    He said DU's pet hate was playing backwards and ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK, his words not mine

     

    Harry Vaughan and BO? are you sure? even if I did are you telling me what I can and can't post. Or is it a case of I'll bring BO up and everyone will lump on. This is about what Reid stated so stick to the subject Monty.

    what was said is that we couldn't play backwards, which was true we all saw we would just aimlessly smack it forwards

     

    Come on Monty, the consensus on this board was that DU was defensive minded. he held the side back with a handbrake.

     

    When it's time to hold our hands up........hold um up!!

    When will people understand that as Head of Recruitment your job is to go find players that the manager wants. 
     

    Unsy wanted very limited footballers who could run. ST’s job is to provide the players to that criteria. 

     

    Doesn't ST state in the interview they know what's needed.  Adding players with 'legs' and take care of the ball.  Sounds pretty much the same to me.

    By always means create an atmosphere,  have a few drinks enjoy yourselves even taunt the locals for well you know living in Rochdale. But it becomes a problem with stuff like the below. The plod are clearly on full alert for this one some of whom will be nore than happy to start wacking people with battons.

     

    Stuff like this

     

    Or this.

     

    Home office figures show during 2022/23 season only 15 oldham fans were arrested out of a total 2264 football fans.

    Again only 8 was for violent disorder. In the grand scheme of things that suggest the AWAYDAYZBOYZ ain't as bad as some would have us believe.

    A big problem with fitness is how much of the ball do we have in a game  ,

    a lot of the teams we play keep possession well but as soon as we win it we huff it up to the front 2 and lose it. Start the tiring treadmill mill again to win it back.

    No team can do 60 mins like that never mind 90.

    We have nobody who is comfortable on the ball in midfield , none of our forwards (maybe Fondop) are good at holding it up.

    their No 9 Effiong held it up really well yesterday that allows their midfield to support the forwards. The other problem is we have nobody in midfield who can break forward into their box and threaten. When our midfielders score it’s usually a 30 yard screamer , they’re sat too deep which then forces Norwood to  come back looking for it. All our problems stem from midfield , we have good strikers for this division and decent defenders in Kitchin, Hogan & Hobson we need a complete overhaul in the middle.

     

    Absolutely 100%. It's the fact we don't have the ball,  chasing it whilst the other side simply pass it around. 

    Green fires in a great goal,  torments his defender one game in ten (well one half). The other nine doesn't retain the ball nor defends his space. Dickenson can't last 90 mins. Sheron huffs and puffs putting in 2 tackles per match mainly standing off his man in a backward motion, then either passing backwards or to the opposition. Shelton stands off, stands off stands off deeper and deeper, why is he even here?.

    That's the starting point.
