Fruitygoo Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 According to Dickov, our season starts tommorow... considering we've played 40% of our home games this season, does this mean we get a refund on the games that appear to have been nothing more than 'pre-season'. Our season started in August....badly.....and a run of 4-5 games does not make up for the garbage that we have witnessed over the past 18 months or so. It's time to go i'm afraid Paul....as much as I like you, you just do not have the tactical basics to push this football team forward. Thanks for all your efforts but i believe in another 25 hours, your time will be up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keep_the_faith Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yawn dickov. Getting tiresome now. And if we lose, the fa cup game will be the "season defining must win game" yawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Seen this comment on this thread and others tonight. What could he have said that wouldn't have had the knives out? The difficulty he has is substance. He has for a long time talked the talk and carried it off quite successfully. But there is no substance behind it. I don't usually bother to read pre-match comment. It's banal at best. And I accept that "the season starts here" is a mere sound bite in the publicity machine that other fans enjoy and a football club needs. But on reading the comment my instant reaction was "have I been watching an extended run of pre-season friendlies?". Maybe that thought had a smirk with it. I do understand that any other football cliché would have got a similarly meaningless reaction from me. But if I felt that there was substance behind the man's words that regularly manifests itself on the football pitch I doubt that anybody would have reacted. You reap what you sew.

bigfatjoe1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Does this mean we're entitled to a refund? I mean, you pay for games thinking the season has started only to find out it starts in late November. Rip-off! I demand a refund for all previous games!

brad Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Can't believe dickov has just said this by setting sights on survival with this squad we should be higher up. We have finished 16th 17th under him and we are going to finish lower time to go dickov and get someone in who will get the team higher.

Ernie For England Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It's just a cliche!! People are jumping on anything and everything that Dickov says/does. Maybe it's you lot that are the boring ones and not Dickov... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) It's a strange phrase to use. It's the sort of phrase you can accept 3 games in if you've travelled to Sheff Utd and MK Dons away for your first two. But in the middle of November. Think Paulie's feeling the pressure a wee bit.

beag_teeets Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Too right he's feeling the pressure, He's the manager of a :censored: going nowhere club and everytime sodding chaddy farts some armchair general calls for him to be sacked. Please can I place on record now that Dickov's replacement has lost the plot and needs to be sacked now before he gets us relegated. He's tactically naive, we've now gone the whole of October 2014 without putting in a decent performance, I go to <insert naming rights stadium name> to be entertained and this clown isn't doing that.

razza699 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Target is to survive with in his own words "the best squad he's had" .. Something is seriously wrong here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Dickov is literally in a 'no-win' situation! Even if we get six points from the next two games, the underlying lack of confidence that the fans have will still be there, we will be waiting for, and dreading, the next dip of form. Of course Dickov has to say the right things but the cracks are starting to show in his optimism. The guy must be as bewildered as the rest of us as to why this squad is performing so abysmally and he doesn't have the depth of experience to put it right. I honestly do not know where the club goes from here but to be in this position with, arguably, the strongest squad for some time...and especially in relatively poor League One...it is not acceptable for Latics, as it wouldn't be for any other club in the same situation. We have the players, we just don't have a leadership with any strength or substance, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Tell a team that the target is to survive is an awful mentality, even if you think it dont say it in front of the fans. That gives the players an excuse straight away that we can afford to lose games as long as we just do enough to stay up If they beat us tonight we are only 8pts above a team who would have only won twice all season, totally unacceptable.# It isnt just about tonight, if we win tonight and lose saturday all the hard work of tonight will have gone out of the window Wardie is spot on no leadership, hence why we concede so bloody many from set-peices!
