slothdude Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Seriously, no goals in open play in 3 games is shocking. Yeovil away and we can't even get 1! He needs to go now. One of the smallest squads in the league, his own doing, and now Furman is out (sounds like the season) we're in deep trouble and it's only 2 league games gone! For all of you about to reply it'll come good just need time, he's had plenty of time to get it right and I'm still not seeing it. Can I also predict the post match interview, Dickov blames the team for not keeping shape and not doing the basic things right. He says it every time we lose. I'm sick of his excuses and always blaming the players for his complete lack of managerial nouse, get rid now before it's too late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low budget = low standard of player = FACT - NOT Dickov's choosing - of course for his budget he is looking for the best quality that is what anyone would do. All in all not too bad a squad, but we need 2-3 creative types on loans from prem clubs and I am sure we will get them.

slothdude Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 so you suggest sacking a young manager after 2 league games and who do we get in? where does the money come from sacking him? we've lost, but come on, do you really support oldham? It's not just 2 league games for him, he had all last season as well and we finished a lot lower than we should have done. If you say it was due to injuries, he's then decided this season to get quote 'a smaller squad with better quality'. In other words the average wage is probably higher than last year and the players aren't even better! How can you say that is good management?

opinions4u Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Can't believe anyobdy's taking the OP on. That said, if you have limited resources you need your selections to fight for everything. No idea if that happened today, but I didn't see it against Sheffield Utd or Carlisle. That's something the manager needs to change - attitude, spirit, commitment to the cause, battling qualities. Add striker to that and some overlapping full backs and we're dangerous again.

IM afraid the problems at this club lie higher up than PD. Theres no dosh and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know where the VAST majority of the lump offered up by OMBC for lanaster is going to go,does it? the fact is there is no invesment on offer from the owner(s) and there is simply no-one out there prepared to invest in this club.

So where are these coming from then? 2 or 3, who's coming out of the starting line up to accomodate them? Smith, Morais, Taylor, Wes? You might as well say the team's not god enough. Taylor and Morais should be more than good enough to create chances in this league, a manager who had tactical know how would be able to get it from them.

oldhamandy1 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Oh ffs I'm worried about relegation and I really fear for the season, but anyone with any sense can see that PD is trying to build something. One thing I'm glad about, though, is I read idiot poster like you and mainstandmoaner on Twitter and I instantly feel better. I feel better because as much as I fear relegation, I know that I am nowhere as thick as some when it comes to some 'football fans'. Chances are my fear and worries will lessen slightly over the next few days, but unless come November we are still where we are now we have the right man, now support the team instead of trolling.

To be honest, I don't blame Dickov for our current plight. He is a good manager at a badly runned club. He has been given no money to invest in the team. He has had to cut his cloth accordingly.

bluehobbit Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 bit hard to judge after 3 gamees. Is cisak better than Brill - on what ive seen probably is Dimond better Hazell - probably. Is Black better than evina - probably not (just because he cant go forward and doesnt have Evinas turn of pace) but he can do a job at this level. Is lund better than stephens - too early to tell he might come good it took stephens awhile We lack squad depth but im sure we will be able to pull ourselves up to mid table by seasons end. This start is worrying but there is a hell of a lot of football to be played before the seasons end. Lets lay of the sack dickov posts get behind the team and see if they cant pull a few wins out. Far to early for anyone to be sacked - if we are bottom or near bottom by xmas then look at things not 2 games in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor and Morais should be more than good enough to create chances in this league, a manager who had tactical know how would be able to get it from them. Black can come out, so can Lund and Taylor for me. A solid left back, tougher passer to slot with Wes/Furman and an end-product left winger - interchnage Taylor and Morais on the RW. The poor strikers are feeding on scraps and need feeding with through balls and whipped crosses - we are SOOOOO predictable: pass to lee, back to diamond, back to lee, to morais, back to lee, to lund, back to black, to taylor....taylor loses the ball, back to...and so on - never any forward umph or threat about us; tippy tappy but not getting anywhere or being a threat. PD is the right man for me no question - we are THAT close ( a couple or 3 additions) from having a faily decent overall 16 and the kids as back up - i am sure in the remaining 2 and a bit weeks PD will get loans in; no way is he naive enough to think we are OK - if we're not i doubt he is Edited August 13, 2011 by shefflatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
