Second half has been even worse than the first... -

Micky Mellon Sack Watch
OneSizeFitz replied to GKing521's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Let's say we'd brought someone in that immediately tried to transform this lot into a progressive, passing team midway through the season. How long do we reckon it would have been before the main stand were yelling at them to "stop that tippy tappy rubbish" and "gerrit forward"... and for posters on here to call for us to play 4-4-2 and "hit the big man". Mellon's improved our form considerably, to the extent that we're near the top of the form table, and should be on course to make the playoffs. To slag him off for not having us play like Barcelona whilst doing it feels a little bit unfair to me. -
Ex players and that

Let's be honest, he was pretty rubbish whenever he played for us... Good luck to the lad - hope he does well. But not many of us were shedding a tear when he left. -
MATCH: Boreham Wood (H) 13/02/24

Isn't it obvious? He's saying that if we exclude the 4 wins in 17 period last season after Unsworth took charge, and we exclude the period this season where he only won 1 game in 9, and we only include the period where he got results, and we include all of Mellon's games, then he basically did as well as Mellon. -

Needs to switch to three at the back at half-time... -
MATCH: Ebbsfleet (A) 03/02/24
OneSizeFitz replied to Bender's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Jack Byrne was always a great example of what players should look to do. His first touch wasn't just to control the ball - it was progressive. Our lot seem to have to concentrate to bring the ball under control, by which point the opportunity is gone. -

So you're saying that he's got a history of delivering success at this level with teams with big budgets and high expectations? -
MATCH: Ebbsfleet (A) 03/02/24

Today was disappointing. Not sure what the plan was supposed to be, and the lack of intent to try to win the game was frustrating. Ebbsfleet were better than us, but only very slightly. 0-0 was probably fair. Hudson was great, and Hobson and Raglan were solid. Wing-backs were fine but nothing more. The rest of them were all pretty hopeless... Some strange substitutions from MM today, too. No idea where Dallas was supposed to be playing, but I don't think I've ever seen a player have such little influence on a game. He was on for 40 minutes and I genuinely don't remember him touching the ball. Garner showed one or two nice touches, but nothing more. We had no control at all in the middle of the park, but that's partly because we persisted with aimlessly hoofing it over the midfield for pretty much the whole game. Still, a point away from home... -

I think it might have something to do with him scoring 16 goals for us this season, when nobody else has got more than 5... -
Latics Youth updates
OneSizeFitz replied to BP1960's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Far better than the most expensive 17 year-old in history (at the time). Must be something special. Hope to see him in action for the first team soon - particularly if he can play on the wing... -
MATCH: Woking (H) 27/01/24
OneSizeFitz replied to Bender's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
It amazes me how people seem to think it's a reasonable expectation of MM to have turned this bunch of non-league cloggers into Barcelona in the space of three months. He's come in, improved our form, got us into the playoff places, and made several well-received signings. Many of those haven't played much football recently so will take time to get up to speed - and need managing accordingly. Am I pleased with yesterday's performance and result? No. Does it surprise me that we're a bit inconsistent and throw in a few howlers of a performance at this point? No. Do I think he's doing a decent job so far? Yes.

A reminder that this is the first time in three months that we've failed to score at home under our most negative manager ever. -

I think it's probably because McGahey is better at football than Sutton. -

Harkins had real flair. He'd glide around the pitch almost Gascoigne-esque. The kind of player who justified your entrance fee. -

MATCH: Hendon (H) 13/01/24
OneSizeFitz replied to Bender's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Tarkowski wasn't playing at home against Hendon, to be fair to him... Sutton might make it to League 1 or 2 level eventually, but I'd be surprised if he plays consistently any higher than that.
