Latics_Fanatic Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I think it will get better. In fact, I think we're not that far away, just a couple more players (in and out) to freshen it up and we should be able to push on. However, I have also been thinking about the similarities of the last 4/5 seasons - maybe that's a worrying correlation. I think we'll be okay though.

Sick and tired of hearing this from most of the fans on here, week after week, problem is LJ has now come to a halt as what to do, every team knows how we play, no back up plans or nothing, sick of getting beat 1-0 and hearing ' we were the better team ' blah blah blah, needs to sort it out ASAP or it's league 2, slate me all you want but most of you need a reality check and get your noses out of LJ's backside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitygoo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 if we were getting hammered....i'd be worried Any games we've lost this season with the exception of 2 or 3 have been by the odd goal. We're a couple of players off turning those narrow defeats into 1 and 3 points..... I actually think the strikers we have are good enough and that its the spark and creativity of decent chances which will turn us around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were a decent striker away from being a decent side. Maybe a third of our takings from the Liverpool go on a striker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinevillawill Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I think the biggest problem is that the players we can afford can't play the way Johnson wants us to play.

RoyleArmy1994 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The problem is we aren't scoring enough. 5th worst scorers in league 1 show this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Over the last few games , and indeed many games this season we have created as many if not more chances than the opposition. Today for instance neither of the 2 goalies really had any decent saves to make, Obviously the penalty save apart. The difference is that we are just not getting our chances on target and making their keeper at least work. Today McDonald and Philli between them had at least 6 decent enough chances to at least hit the target and make their keeper work.Not one did and they were all over the bar or wide. Looking back over the last few games the opposition have scored at least one goal from the few chances they have created. In league one very very few teams keep a clean sheet on a regular basis so you have to go out and score at least 2 every game to have a shout of winning. Obviously we are not doing that but overall we are having as many chances as the other teams. Under PD during the bad spell we had last season we weren't even creating the chances which is far worse. We don't seem to be pushing as many players into their box as we did at the start of the season and i think we have to start taking far greater risks going forward and not worry about conceding as much. The opposition only need to score one these days and we lose 1-0. At least let us get back to the early season bravado of , you score one we will score 2 attitude which is sadly lacking at the moment. A team can concede 2 goals and still win if they score 3. A team that doesn't score has absolutely zero chance of winning and little chance of a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petelatics Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It makes you wonder where we'd be in the league if we had a striker who scores goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitygoo Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Which striker do you see scoring 8-10 goals in these last 20 games? Philliskirk quite easily if we stop playing him out wide.... Macdonald if he stays fit.... JCH could easily get 5-6 Once one starts to score, the others might follow....I think we're hesitating due to a lack of confidence caused by a lack of goals...couple of players need one to hit them on the backside and just go in.... We're definatley no more than 3 players of a top 10 side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their is a chance to get out of this yet but where does this end! I pray to god we stay up but next season it will be a battle & so on until we either go up or much more likely go down Is the dreaded R word that bad if we see the team playing with confidence & winning games albeit against lesser opposition & taking that into the following season when you go up? Of course no one wants it but no one can equally surely want 20 more years of relegation battles in league 1 just staying up as their are 4 worse teams etc etc Add some creative, some battling quailities to the side & some more pride from more than just 2 or 3 players Edited January 19, 2014 by laticdickovarmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsmarra Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Same old thing for 10 seasons now. It goes beyond Manager,tactics and transfers. We have second division crowds,second division investment at most and are punching above our weight. We can't afford a fee for the striker we all crave,anyone in form at or above conference level will demand a fee so we have to make do or take a chance on a young inexperienced loanee who presumably won't have been on fire in the Development League, but needs to go out for experience. We can criticise tactics yesterday etc etc but we have a young manager having to deal with the perennial underlying problems,lets back him and the players that we have.
