  1. By the looks of things he might have told them all!
  2. He keeps saying he’s not telling them to play that way so it’s a little puzzling to say the least. They’ve hoofed it in just about every game I’ve seen, both home & away!
  3. Getting a fee is out of the question then?
  4. Why shouldn’t I care?….I Just don’t think a club in the 5th tier should spend money on a DOF.
  5. How on earth do you expect him to bag having to deal with repetitive hoof ball?
  6. That’ll be absolutely perfect for the crap we churn out!
  7. Well that leaves 9 on 7 or 8 elsewhere so should work to our advantage!
  8. That would be another 60k a year minimum…not viable at all and IMO totally unnecessary at this level!
  9. If you’d watched it you would definitely think differently….it brought the meaning of shite to a whole new level!!
  10. Because basically he’s playing the whole of the game in our half….the truth is that like one or two others, he barely looks interested!! I think Mellon has probably upset a few of these players with some home truths and rightly so…. It’s obviously over for a large chunk of this squad and Mellon has a massive job on his hands. There’s going to be yet another mass clear out at the end of the season. IMO, the legacy left by the Lemsagam’s and horrendous recruitment from the Unsworth debacle is going to take way more than a season or two to sort out!!
  11. These are a few comments from impartial Shots fans to put that performance into context……. Oldham were a disgrace and got everything they deserved. Very little attempt to actually play football, constant feigning injury, taking players out off the ball. God help their fans, watching that crap every week! Was expecting a really hard close fought game but shocked at how bad Oldham were, i'd be really pissed off if i'd made that trip down to watch my team not even try to play football, surely they can't usually play like that? they're 5th ffs? Oldham one of the poorest teams at the Rec this season. Goalkeeper superb and their back 3 was resilient but they offered nothing in attack If I was their coach Id be mortified with the goals and how they let us score and played into our hands. The physical stuff didnt work and backfired as they dived in all over the pitch and yet marked space for the goals. If I was them id get over to the Med for an intense sweat camp for a solid few days as they are clearly carrying to much weight and bulk. Oldham were absolutely pathetic today but if you fast forward 7 weeks and we’re playing them at home in a playoff game they would be Bayern Munich in disguise whereas today they would have lost to a team of pissed giraffes! Oldham were very disappointing because 1. They didn't really have a game plan. 2. And even if they did, the Shots never gave them enough time or space to execute it. Can't see Oldham winning at Halifax if they play like they did yesterday, they looked one of the worst teams we've played this season, imagine travelling half the country as an Oldham fan to watch that!
  12. That 2nd half yesterday, it absolutely was….just wow!!! They looked like they’d never played in a proper game before!
  13. I can see why you would but I don’t really care!!
  14. Full turnaround. For the last few seasons all we needed was a top striker to put the ball in the back of the net, now we have one we’ve got fuck all else. He’s not an all round footballer, he’s very simply a finisher, a fox in the box and he’s living off scraps in a totally dysfunctional team! Don’t blame him one bit….If I was him I’d want out too!!
  15. I never said I want him sacked FFS! I actually said….. “I think we have the wrong manager. It’s an opinion, not a statement of fact. He may turn it around, he may not and I could be proved wrong. I’m prepared to give him a bit more time but the signs are not good! I really hope he does turn it around but I’m not convinced with him so far!
  16. I’m sorry but that’s just bollocks. That was a 460 mile round trip and we’ve got another away game at Halifax on Tuesday. The majority of away games are in and around London and the South of England. Finances are tight and this is the National League after all. I’ll also bet that every one of those supporters wished that they hadn’t bothered!!
  17. He’s had nearly 6 months at the club which is no time at all really but the fact that we can quite easily revert to repetitive shite like that time and time again is a massive concern. That was an horrific display that got significantly worse after the half time team talk and several substitutions. I couldn’t believe what I was watching today and it was obvious that several of those players had given up completely towards the end and their second goal was testament to that. Whether we manage to make the playoffs or even win them we are destined for yet another mass player exodus in May. If we are in this division, which is highly likely, I’m not sure we will be able to get a new team together capable of promotion in just one season. A thoroughly depressing situation…..
  18. I didn’t say sack him I said I think we’ve got the wrong manager. That was a totally embarrassing performance today and it’s not for the 1st time either that we’ve looked like a bloody pub team. He’s signed 6 players and in my opinion it’s made no difference whatsoever. Only Garner has had a positive effect and two of them were left out of the squad all together. We may as well have saved the money and persisted with Shelton, Hope, Tollit & Dickenson who are no worse! How much longer is he prepared to play this one dimensional hoof ball? We will be expected to set the pace next season and be challenging for the top spot but I’ve seen absolutely no evidence to suggest we have even the nucleus of a side capable of doing that…..
  19. Am I watching a National League side? This is Sunday league stuff……absolutely shambolic!! Cant wait to hear what Mellon says after this debacle. I’ll say it now and I don’t care about the reaction….despite his promotion record I think we have the wrong manager!
