SavageTheBeast Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Please do not play him again no confidence no composure no attacking threat
Careca9 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 spot on, the guy offers nothing and hasnt done for majority of games ive seen. plays off the striker yet never looks like scoring and his lack of movement is one of the main reasons the center backs never have a pass on. would be glad to see him dropped
blueatheart Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Philiskirk and Murphy were terrible in the first half but they had little to work with, Colchester flooded midfield and that's where latics lost the battle. I think it was a poor formation today and LJ should have changed it sooner. As much as Jones wasn't really in the game in the first half, once we reverted to type in the second we missed his energy. Two of the subs were warranted but I was disappointed with Jones going off.
BP1960 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 What's the coach Dean Holden's role in all this ? I fail to see what he has brought to the team that wasn't there before when it was just LJ and Tommy. Can we really afford an extra wage that appears to add no value?
laticsrblue Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 RE Holden - I wasn't impressed with his Sheridanesque attitude towards Gordon in his LP interview this week.

You probably know more than I do, but from the outside it seems difficult to lay much blame at Holden's door. Our record's been OK since he's been here and things don't seem to have changed drastically.

When you say 'all this', do you mean our recent run that has led us to now be sat in the play off places? Jesus. I'm all for constructive criticism and there were plenty of poor things this afternoon but it's not like the coaching structure is rotten. Edited February 14, 2015 by jsslatic

He's done nothing thats wasn't done before, tell me how he has altered the structure of play from earlier in the season? We saw today the same tip tap backwards sideways passing that was prevalent then. Three qualified coaches in the dugout - more like too many cooks.

Surely being sat in a play off position suggests not a lot needs changing. Are you forgetting where we have been for the last five seasons?
Oldham Nil Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Philly is a passenger and a soft arse. Gone two steps backwards this year.

Are you forgetting where we have been for the last five seasons? It doesn't need 3 first team coaches, why isn't 2 enough? Too many chiefs spring to mind. Edited February 14, 2015 by BP1960
Stainrod Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Wasn't he simply a replacement in effect for Murray? three coaches all season is working for us.
BP1960 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Wasn't he simply a replacement in effect for Murray? three coaches all season is working for us. No, Murray was reserve team coach and when the reserves league was disbanded there was no need for another coach. Too many cooks IMO. Edited February 14, 2015 by BP1960
RobOAFC Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Think we have players who can play better at the tip of the midfield. Stick him up top as part of the front 2 - some of his better performances this season has been as a striker.
oldhamoafc Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Been saying it and getting slated for it for ages. He's crap, just runs about a little bit. And oldham fans love a player who runs. And people said they'd rather have him over Danny Johnson!
PlayItLivo Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Remember how LJ got credit for replacing Baxter with Philliskirk, lol
rudemedic Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Remember how LJ got credit for replacing Baxter with Philliskirk, lolRemember when Jose Baxter scored 13 goals in the league in a season and had loads of assists. Well this season he's scored 5 league goals and has 3 league assists. Philliskirk has 4 league goals and 4 league assists. Neither will count penalties won which end up in goals of which Philliskirk has quite a few. Given the choice of Philliskirk and £300k, or Baxter I'm taking Tony's lad and the cash this season. A straight swap and I might still take Danny due to his defensive qualities and as the stats show fairly even attacking qualities.

rudemedic Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 He has 3 goals and 3 assists in 29 league games this season. Not according to this he hasn't- I did get the number of goals wrong though he only has 3. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/stats/player-stats/
Monty Burns Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 A straight swap and I might still take Danny due to his defensive qualities Errrrrrr, say what now?
Monty Burns Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Actually doesnt matter, you mean DP not DJ dont you silly me.
stewrat Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I cannot understand this anti Phili mentality. He was not the one giving the ball away. Mellis Jones and especially Kelly were, Kelly was the one responsible for their first goal with his lousy clearance path. If you were not looking through blinkers you would see the difference when 2 of those 3 were replaced. Able to get decent ball higher up the pitch meant he suddenly became effective. The front of the diamond player should not be blamed when the three behind pass backward or just hoof it. Mellis in particular had a really lousy match. He consistently failed to find a blue shirt and against a better side would have given away a bag full of goals. Get a grip and watch the match not your prejudice,
Ricardo Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Yesterday Philliskirk offered nothing at all; his shot near the end of the game was awful. I am not anti-Philliskirk but yesterday was a very, very poor performance by him. How he managed to stay on ahead of Jones I will never know. Mind you how Kelly managed to stay on ahead of Jones I will never know as well
JohnnyPimp Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 How he managed to stay on ahead of Jones I will never know. I actually thought that Philiskirk would be one of the players replaced, but to suggest that Jones was better is just wrong. He's been a very consistent performer but yesterday was one of two absolute stinkers I've seen him put out. Bang on the money with Kelly though, very reminiscent of his early season form.
HarryBosch Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 They were all :censored:. Why single out Philliskirk?
