NewBlue Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Still no win?? FFS this is a disaster! Can we all finally acknowledge that Dunn has lost the dressing room and doesn't have a clue how to win a football match! DUNN OUT! That better? In fairness, no win in 9 is a slight worry. Obviously considerations have to be taken but we're 14 points behind BURTON ALBION and are level on points with 3rd bottom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshOWTB Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 That 3rd goal was great. Shame we didn't win, we were a different team in the last 30 minutes and should've scored a few times. Stewards were a disgrace though. Hope a few complaints are lodged against them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The new right back had a shocking opening 10 minutes which included letting them get away for the opener. He improved later on but didn't look better than what we've already got. Philliskirk did well to keep possession in their box to tee up Higdon for the deflected equaliser. Offside trap went awry for their second, although Cornell's response to being exposed was pathetic. I think it was Higdon who put Poleon in for the second Latics equaliser. Brilliant pass picking out a great run and Poleon finished. Second half Latics looked the more likely with Poleon absolutely magnificent. Brilliant work from Dom and a great cross finished neatly by Higdon. A really stuffy deflection gave them a third. I've been critical of Poleon since he signed but today's performance was right up there with Morais v Huddersfield at BP a few seasons back. Sort out the :censored: defending, and it was :censored: again, and suddenly we seem to have a season to look forwards too. Completely agree with this.

Yeah I know what you are saying, but to be fair I doubt there are many clubs in the country that are run better than and as efficiently as Burton at the moment. I'd be surprised if Hasselbaink is there at the end of the season too as he clearly understands this management lark.

Goal89 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 From the gills forum... 'Credit to Oldham. Gave it a real go and were well worthy of their point. I thought their front two were the best we've seen this season. Classic combination of a big lump and a quickie playing off him. Very effective. Higson was the difference for me - we just couldn't deal with his aerial threat.' Lets hope this is the start of a decent partnership that can catapult us up that league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshOWTB Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Number 35 - new left back? - was a liability for the first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsalt Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Second game i've been to (first being that forgettable 0-0 at Colchester). Thought the width and focus on counter attacking was the big difference today. The new right back proved a real attacking threat and could really be an asset in the coming weeks (if he also starts to defend), especially when combined with a marauding Poleon and tricky Fulton. Would have liked to see Winchester on for Danny Phil at some point in the second-half. Other than that was a great performance excluding the first awful 10 minutes. I'd like to see less loan players in the squad but overall they have improved the squad massively from the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Our full backs were absolutely lousy at defending but got forward well, especially second half. Cornell was pathetic for their second goal, offside trap went wrong but he completely bottled it and made no attempt to challenge their player, reminded me of Oxley! Polls was immense, never stopped running and even looked up a couple of times, his cross for our second and the finish were sublime. He was loving it out there and deserved to knock in a winner. Overall, turned into a good performance and an entertaining game after a pretty rubbish first 20 mins. Still not convinced Dunn should be manager but looks like we're stuck with him for a while so onwards and upwards. It'd be nice to actually see a win though, 16 games and counting for me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Does anyone else have that feeling that we might have turned a corner? Sheffield Utd aside, I think we may get a couple of wins in the coming weeks plus a draw or two and we're heading into the Top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Goalkeeping can't not be about the saves you make! I don't get what's hard to understand about it. Goalkeeping mistakes are usually costly to the maximum extent, therefore the best goalkeepers are the ones which make the least mistakes. Most goalkeepers at each level have a similar ability to shot-stop, and rarely do goalkeepers make a save that another goalkeeper physically could not make. Therefore goalkeepers are judged on mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Just seen the 2nd & I think some are maybe being a little harsh on Cornell? They broke the offside trap and Cornell came out the striker and star jumped to make himself big. The striker was clever and headed down but he could have just as easily tried to head over him. Cornell had a second to decide which, he choose wrong. Edited October 3, 2015 by palmer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobOAFC Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) You were probably one of those that defended Rachubka, therefore your opinion would be irrelevant... The same Rachubka who kept 14 clean sheets in 39 games and only conceded 37 goals? We also won 15, drew 18 and lost 6 times with him in net aswell.
