So glad didnt know about peno on soccer special on sky was already having a heart attack when saw so we were pretty much last game to finish Start with that midfield at Walsall and I can see a repeat of March 2009, Marsh-Brown and Morais superb in the first half but we were collectively :censored: (Tarky apart) in the 2nd half. Penalty decision was correct, though i'm glad Alex made up for his 'Brill' moment for their goal….

The loss to chesterfield was a massive kick in the teeth,corney probably is still having nightmares about the revenue that went down the bog after that loss. The team is carrying individuals going thru the motions,the team is containing platers like mvoto who should have a red cross instead of a number,an accident waiting to happen everytime he touches the ball. The manager is tactically disasterous. I could go on,however... We are going to be in a fight for survival this season,that much is obvious. At the end of the season id get rid of PD,sorry,ive seen enough to realise we are going to nowhere under him. His tactics,and substituions a times are shocking.

Glad to hear Tarky did well Cheers Prozac Taylor, too lightweight to play CM imo, strangely enough spent more time out wide than he does when he's playing on the wing. We got away with it tonight but on KMB and Morais' showing Taylor should be (rightly) looking over his shoulder when Furball is fit….

laticdickovarmy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 yep sack pd a manager working on a nothing budget, taken us to anfield earned the club a bumper 6 figure pay packet biggest day out in years, we would all of taking just staying up this season and at current well safe of doing that hey why not spend loads with a new manager who couldnt get players like robbie simpson, marsh brown, cisak here send us into liquidation, play a lack of football hey dave penny not in work is he maybe we should give him a call Rigsby that make you happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 9 points clear of 21st with 4 games in hand. We are 14 points away from 5th with 2 in hand. We have a budget of pretty much nil. Dickov could well turn out to be the best manager since Royle.

steveoafc Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Very scrappy 2nd half, our passing went from bad to worse.Impressed with marsh brown, especially first half. Cisak made up for his error with the goal by saving the pen. Tarkowski MOM by a mile for me.....what a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 We were poor both halves. They were the worst side ever first half. A bit more composed second half. Even then, we had the game easily under control. Two excellent goals scored. I have no idea why their guy shot for their goal. Three players waiting for a simple cross so he shoots and Cisak makes a balls of it. Penalty? I didn't think so, but I'd glazed over by then. The save was quite magnificent. Then we're too busy celebrating the save to be organised for the quick corner. Another 42 points and we're in the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 from the RRE it was never a penalty and the ref was awful. im not normally one to have a go at referees but the he had a word with cisak for timewasting around the hour when he went to pick up the ball, booked simpson for shooting and made decisions in a game that didnt really need any. if the penalty had been scored the referee would have cost us the two points.

I thought it was a pen, blatant shove in the back…however as poor as we were in the 2nd Half, it would have been daylight robbery if they'd nicked a point.

The Cisak timewasting thing was a joke .... although he regularly takes 10+ seconds to drop kick. Simpson's booking was harsh for the challenge that he got the yellow card for, but the referee had already given a couple of other free kicks against him and had a word. Whether a penalty or not, there was a clear lack of ownership / communication by 3 Latics players before the decision was made. Cisak was part of that, as he was against Chesterfield. There is something to sort out between keeper and centre backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 hand on heart,no idea. At present. I reckon Dickov is doing a brilliant job in the circumstances. I also reckon we'll finish mid-table. The idea that he should be sacked is deeply strange in itself, but the lack of an alternative is even more deeply strange.

bigfatjoe1 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What do you think about the on going Stadium issue? yes. lol. I'd like to know what you are supposed to do on 2.500 crowds. Seriously, we have won and people are moaning. PD is actually a really good manager but the people of oldham....:censored:. what a bunch of total arseholes. Still,so long as we remain in the boundaries of the old town...not the one from 1974... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Didnt make the 5.5 hour midweek round trip how they play anyone? So glad didnt know about peno on soccer special on sky was already having a heart attack when saw so we were pretty much last game to finish Defrosted a bit now, had tea and toast so i'll put a bit more meat on the bones as it were…. The early goal came from a quality move, a rampaging run from Marsh-Brown showing skill and pace in equal measure - a ball into Simpson with his back to goal, who laid it into the path of Morais who curled a shot into the top corner. MArsh-Brown was a thorn in Walsall's side all half, and Morais was having similar joy. 2nd goal came from more quality wing-play this time from Morias, who found Simpson who spun and half-volleyed a shot into the corner. Walsall's Smith had a nightmare and Latics looked to get him one on one at every opportunity. Sadly, he was subbed at HT and they looked a bit more solid in the 2nd half. Though Cisak was at fault for the goal, Walsall had 3 on 1 in the box and probably would have scored anyway. Second half we dropped off, and tbh ball watched for most of the game but we looked to have done enough, until an unnecessary shove from JYM saw a penalty awarded. I thought it was a pen tbh, thankfully Cisak redeemed himself after his earlier error and we clung on for the win. I'm concerned though that Chris Taylor was preferred to Mellor or Winchester in CM, and on the two wide men's showing tonight, it seems we are accommodating him in midfield simply to keep him in the team. Adeyemi did ok I thought, broke up a few attacks and made a few good runs, Taylor was ironically found out wide too often for a CM. I think if we play that same team at MK we'll get slaughtered, the wing play was a joy to watch but on that showing neither KMB or FM have the discipline to track back consistently. This coupled with a weak CM partnership of Taylor and Adeyemi is asking for trouble. However, a win's a win and seeing as we have not won away in the league since mid-September, anything at MK or Sheffield will definitely be a bonus. Cisak - Not much to do, flapped a few times, the goal went straight under him - redeems himself with the late penalty save Lee - Steady Tarky - Thought he was excellent and my MOM, got drawn to the ball on occasion but looks better every week JYM - Was solid enough until this late shove nearly cost us two points Black - His best game for a while Morais - Not his biggest fan, but when he's on his game like he was in the first half he's unplayable. Tailed off like his team-mates in the 2nd, but had more of an impact in the 2nd than KMB Taylor - backed off too much to be a CM, a couple of decent challenges and was mostly ok on the ball. Too weak in the challenge and spent too much time wide Adeyemi - Again like Taylor conceded too much space, won his fair share of 50/50s and made some probing runs KMB - Was a revelation in the first-half, his threat diminished in the second-half Kuqi - One good chance, still looks off the pace a bit. Desperately needs one to go in off his arse Simpson - Quality goal and assist, yet again from Robbie. At the heart of everything good we did but his set-pieces were mostly poor tonight Subs: Parker: Not long enough to make an impact A win's a win, and hopefully we can go on a run to secure our third tier status. I'm not expecting anything from MK, Sheffield or Stevenage. But with games coming up against Tranmere, Col U, Scunthorpe, Yeovil and Rochdale - our fate should be a lot clearer by the time we are celebrating St. Paddy's Night…..
