opinions4u Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Squad looked thin. Effort looked low. Ref was poor. We won the passing. Colchester were terrible and we got what we deserved. The manager needs to take a long hard look at how he's prepared for this game. Edited December 21, 2013 by opinions4u Quote
Lee Sinnott Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Squad looked thin. Effort looked low. Ref was poor. We won the passing. Colchester were terrible and we got what we deserved. It was poor. We miss Wesolowski, and why can we never ever contain Jabo Ibhere... Quote
the_mighty_bosh Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Wasn't there and had to do some shopping during the 2nd half, but by simply looking at the table this is a really good chance wasted to get 2 wins away from the drop zone and into mid table. Quote
Gaz_Oafc Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 We were dog :censored:. Tarky was awful. Plummer can piss off back to city...worse than awful. The whole defence were :censored: scared of jabo ibhere FFS! Suarez will embarras us! Quote
ChrisA Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) It's probably best if Plummer doesn't play again. We missed Wes. They wanted it more than we did. Started brightly, got their goals and saw it off with a professional display using the usual traits. Edited December 21, 2013 by ChrisA Quote
Uppermill Latics Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Wasn't today (what happened to Kusunga ?) a perfect opportunity to play Lanzoni in the centre with Tarky and try them out as a partnership with Brown on the right and Grounds on the left ? I like Lanzoni but he isn't a right back really and was brought here as a central defender so I thought. Quote
pukka Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Kusunga was at the ground with a kit bag. I saw him when i was paying for sheff u and liverpool Quote
Blu-Blood Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 That was the worst performance i've seen this season. And Plummer is just awful! What a :censored:e day! Quote
oafc1955 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 What was the reason for Kusunga's absence? Quote
super_blue Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Kusanga was in the squad but didn't make the bench. Odd...I am an LJ fan but a little to much tinkering I think! Quote
Handsy Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Very poor today the lad Plummer shouldn't pull on a Latics shirt again midfield was a waste of time today smiths worst game by far .How we miss Wes, Winchester was a passenger as was Millar when he came on Mellor isn't the same lad that was impressive at the end of last season squad is paper thin and a long hard winter is in store if we keep turning in performances like that Quote
Uppermill Latics Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 situation with Schmeltz odd too - has something happened behind the scenes ? Quote
BristolOwl Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Why play Plummer instead of Kasunga? The article announcing the team on the Latics website made a convoluted attempt to explain what was a deafening silence. Why play Plummer when we have players like Brown and Kasunga? We desperately need reinforcements in 2 weeks, in midfield and attack where we lack a poacher, and I don't believe Mac will be fit for more than 10 matches. Quote
rvlatic Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Kusunga was running around on little wembley before the game.. Quote
opinions4u Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 situation with Schmeltz odd too - has something happened behind the scenes ? Sidney's ability to be the cause of goals conceded doesn't seem to impress the manager. Quote
rvlatic Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 And my match report: absolute horse :censored: performance , happy fking christmas latics. I can accept a loss to a better side but ffs we bent over and became colchesters bitch.... Quote
blueatheart Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I thought Smith had a rare poor performance today. Mellor and Brown were good, Rooney isn't getting the service and Philiskirk worked hard again. We're missing that ball-winning play disrupting terrier in midfield that Wes brings and as much as I like Petrasso, we need two first team wingers. We've got rid of Montano and I can see Smeltz following him out of the door. It's such a shame we've just been hit with injuries like this. At least JCH is back for Thursday. Quote
Markspark92 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Think Sidney has had behaviour problems has been fined before was in the chron not long ago as for Kusunga it's a mystery now mention of an injury before the game Quote
BP1960 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Not many positives today; Oxley 6...Not much to do except pick the ball out of the net. Lanzoni 7...Competed well enough. Tarkowski 5..Lethargic display. Grounds 6..Some careless distribution. Plummer 4..Looked out of his depth. Petrasso 6..Ran around in circles getting nowhere. Smith 6..Tried hard enough,but little support around him. Winchester 6..Surprised he was subbed, not the worst by any means. Philliskirk 6..Some good touches,but nothing to feed on today. Rooney 4..Hardly won a ball on the ground or in the air. Mellor 5...Not sharp enough. Subs; Brown 6..A decent return to the team. Millar 4.. No impact at all. Pritchard 6.. Did ok. Poor team selection by the manager IMO starting the left flank with Plummer and Mellor, where were Kunsunga and Schemlz with kids on the bench ? Its obvious now some of the squad aren't good enough and I predict a plunge in the transfer market in January for at least three (not lightweight again I hope) players.

disjointed Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Today we lost to a poor team, the manager must take the blame for the defeat, we gifted them 2 goals, what the eff Plummer started the game for is beyond me. His month loan must be up now please send him back. I can only assume Winchester picked up a knock as he was our best player 1st half. Conor Brown played well and deserves a start on Boxing day. We miss Dayton and today showed that. As said though we now look paper thin as a squad with injuries and suspensions. Quote
BP1960 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Sidney's ability to be the cause of goals conceded doesn't seem to impress the manager. So what impresses him about Plummer ? Edited December 21, 2013 by BP1960 Quote
