disjointed

Alledgedly a few came with some unusual accents from further down the road.

 

Underdog

Sholver?

Remember when Big Joe switched it to 3 at the back against West Ham and we scored 6.

More memorable was the Everton 2nd replay, fixtures piling up, might be my memory but i seem to remember in that game going 2-3-5

PD was trying to win the game against a team playing 4-1-4-1 with the front man very isolated. We didn't need 2 centre-halfs marking the one forward, if the ref had done his job Donaldson wouldn't have scored as he should have given a FK to us for the foul on Youseff.

 

Whether PD should have taken Mvoto off instead of Byrne is another matter but we'd have lost Mvoto's pace and his threat from corners.

Are they the front post corners which were so effective today. Agreed it was a foul on Changy but the ref wasn't up to much today as usual (that aint sour grapes just a generalisation of the refs in this division). Just think going 3 at the back aint the best way with this set of players. Big Joe could get away with it with the pace of Warhurst, Barrett and Irwin.

As i said in another thread when Byrne went so did any sort of shape, big Jean must have thought who's going to tell me what to do now. Byrne is our best centre half, most consistent. Thought Grounds was excellent today. he gets better every game. Found a gem IMO

What time are majority of you turning up tomorrow morning? Ticket office opens at 10, so what time are tics aiming to queue for?

Wouldn't think it matters if they gave 2000 vouchers today, that would be 5000 max with what has gone to season ticket holders, how many tickets have we got 7000?

Not that im arsed got mine already!

The length of the contract is amazing. Accepting that he's unlikely to stay anywhere near that long but, by signing, he's given Latics, not only the life-belt to avoid the depths of the fourth tier, but also the opportunity to make some money out of him in due course.

 

Well done to all involved in the deal. Thanks Jose for being a shining exampe in these days of greed, and for restoring my faith in professional football.

Well said, don't know if there is any truth in this but I heard about 2.15 this afternoon that it was a 2 year contract and he was going to Bolton for next season, obviously the length of contract was wrong but this would give us a decent compo deal., and I wouldn't blame the lad for going.

Great run. Worked it into his left peg really well. Then buggered it up.

Jose gave him a right bollocking he was in acres of space, to be fair though he then applauded him i should imagine that was for the initial movement.

Clayton Donaldson was the difference great finishing, great movement and great touches. Best player on the park.

I think I see an iceberg captain.

Too late the good ship SS Latics has already hit it. Going down!!!!

Have to say if they are talking 10k against Liverpool i dont know where the extra 5k are gonna sit

to be fair, we went for it at that point by putting an extra attacker on for a defender. it backfired with us conceding but i'd prefer he went for it than we didn't change it and lost to a depressing 1-0

If you are going to go 3 at the back the players need to know their roles, they didn't, it was like watching headless chickens. Im all for attacking intent but you still need shape.

As soon as we went 3 at the back they overran us. Kept possession to easy, we had 5 blokes who didn't know where they should be. They would not have scored again if we had still been 4 at the back. Clueless absof*****glutely clueless.

latics 2- brentford 0

Let's see how many thickies will end up losing them, chucking them or blaming the wifey when she washes them in jeans pockets after they have drowned their sorrows after tomorrows match eh.....

 

Not like I've done that before....

 

Anfield away jeans we found a fossilised pastie in the side pocket the next time they were dug out to be worn. Pastie had been washed with jeans the next day.

 

Never get eh blame when I find the money in them though....hmmm

You forgot to describe what the pastie tasted like after it had been washed. ie did it need more salt or pepper or do scouse pasties withstand said detergents

Looking at it, the 4k a week seems a good shout for keeping it. Great to see us unearth a gem and say he is one of ours. And then sell him on for loads of dosh

Imagine Jose Baxter delivering your Daily Star each morning!

I'd get well brassed off, I take the Guardian

Can't see too many more on the gate, as said take their chance on open sale, if they dont get one there is always the box, very fickle.

What strikes me, apart from the missus, is that people moan when a manager is sacked pretty soon after they start the job,then nowt is said when this one leaves after a couple of months. I know he might not think Blackpool was a good move for him, i've swopped jobs sharpish after realising i'd dropped a ging gang,Don't understand though how Blackburn could be better, they are s**t and only going one way

Some people think this board is a moaning board not a message board.

I agree

Mmmm.. Methinks that quote could open a can of worms.

i get what he means but for that ITV would need to put a camera at the back of the RRE

Sorry it was a poor attempt at humour (celetape and liece). Teach me to be clever

Heres an idea... Why dont they celetape a liece of white and blue card in the chaddy that everyone holds up when the players are coming out?? In the chaddy it could say OAFC? Look great in front of the cameras!

You have lost me .....

We need the same sort of atmosphere as we generated at Forest, it does get through to the players and give them a lift.

Think you should be ok, seems that the masses are gonna gather in the RRE for a good old knees up. Altogether now...... Meat pie sausage..... oh no think thats a bad start

I think that list would be much longer than a list of jobs he could do!

Point taken
