Wouldn't mind seeing Fondop start. People can say he's better as a sub all they want, but he does more in the time he comes on than Nuttall does all game. I'm guessing DU will start Sambou and Nuttall though. Come on Latics. 

The standard of football in this league is absolutely awful. A good win that. Wasn't pretty though. What a goal by Reid. That's what happens when you run at defenders with intent.

I don't know how people are saying this isn't a must win/important game. I think it is. We drew the game against Gateshead. That felt like a loss to me, considering we were 2-0 up. Also take into consideration our position in the league. Take into considering the opposition we're playing today. We need to win this one.

Have we not got enough players?

We have a huge squad….he’d better be damn well good enough to go straight in tomorrow otherwise it’s a completely pointless signing!!

We've got a lot, yeah. However, we're lacking wingers. I'm not complaining about this one. For all we know, this lad could come into the team and perform well. I'm not excited by it, but I'm not going to complain about it. It is what it is. Lets just see what happens. 

A loss or draw isn't acceptable, in my opinion. Not after the draw against Gateshead. That game felt like a loss. Anything other than a win and I will be majorly pissed off lol. 

Why am I not surprised people are spreading "Unsworth has gone" rumours on the #oafc Twitter feed. Some proper egotistical folk on there. 

Listen, earlier this season, I know Sheridan was absolutely awful and it was time for him to step aside. Have we got better since then though? I don't understand what kind of football Unsworth wants us to play, but today was just lump it up to Nuttall and Fondop and hope for the best. We don't win the second balls and we have nobody to hold and distribute it in midfield. We've got no flair behind the strikers or on the flanks.  I haven't been impressed with Tollitt for most of the season either. I still think we need a Right Back, a Midfielder who can hold and distribute, and a flair winger. Now Fondop is out for three games, let's see Reid/Abraham. 

I'm sick of turning up before games with that depressing feeling knowing that we're more than likely going to be shit. There's no signs or indication that we're heading in the right direction. Get someone else in and let's try some new ideas to get us out of another relegation battle. 

Get him out. He can take Nuttall too. 

I think York should have had a penalty. It looked like handball from the RRE. We looked alright last night. Not brilliant though. York looked very poor and offered nothing going forward. Felt good coming out of the ground last night. You could feel the positive vibes. Long may it continue. Keep winning and the attendance will creep back up a bit. 

Reid must be fuming. Jordan Clarke... Are you having a laugh?

And he missed a good chance of making it two shortly after

I can't believe how much we've gone backwards since Sheridan. Hope was looking decent for us earlier this season. 

Throwback to the reverse fixture at their place.

I wonder if Vaughan is in the team/squad tonight.

At our home games this season, it has only got a bit toxic after the games. The Barnet game comes to mind. Through the game, we're always trying to sing positively. However, there's definitely a sense of deflation around the Athleticos block. Fair play to Ryan and Cameron for doing their best to keep it going.

Which was strange, because that was one game where Unsworth got his tactics right. 

You getting Boxing Day confused with New Years Day?

I'm not going to lie, I'm absolutely dreading it. The reason being is that we've been awful for the majority of the season and I can't understand how Unsworth wants us to play. 

Nothing else to do on a Tuesday night though. Let's get 3 points.

We've stolen enough shite songs off prem clubs

Lol! There's a couple we've got at the moment that I'm not into, I must admit. 

A song for David Unsworth (If we ever take to him and he becomes a Football Genius)

We've got genius/super David Unsworth

He knows exactly what we need

Clarkey at the back

Fondop in attack

Latics gonna win the National League

Have you not seen the squad Anthony? We are a long way away from anybody being justified in having expectations.

You do realise he has signed a fair few players within that squad? He hasn't kept the squad Sheridan had. We got rid of Sheridan because he wasn't meeting expectations. You don't bring someone else in to do as badly/worse as the previous manager.

We are a few months into what is a presumably a medium to long term plan, nobody should be demanding results at this stage.

Is he having a laugh? Are you having a laugh?

We are definitely into 'can't do right for doing wrong' terriority. Owner must be shaking his head wondering what he's got himself into...

Probably wondering why the f*ck Unsworth was appointed.
