Manager more clueless than his predecessor

 

Can't defend

Can't pass

Can't control a football

Can't take a free kick

Can't attack with tempo

From someone who normally is quite restrained with his posts that is quite alarming, although it worked out well in the end

We're playing a team who've lost 8 on the bounce next week, want rid of their manager - who will receive a very hostile reception - and we've played out of our skin second half.

 

Send them out with some attacking spirit, Dunn. Just get at them. We lost all momentum of Swindon by setting up negatively at Spotland. Never a better time to have an atmosphere at BP than next Saturday.

I know it will upset some people but we scored both goals after Winney was substituted on 70 minutes. Now of course you could withdraw your 'best' player in a wonderful tactical ploy but I rather doubt it! Seems Rasulo who replaced Higdon made the difference - Poleon and that much maligned striker who often gets to play midfield did it again.

 

Wonderful unexpected result - more points than games played!

 

Bring on Mansfield.....

The key to it was taking that lump Higdon off, Rasulo's first two touches got us the equaliser and allowed us to win the game.

Rasulo replacing Higdon was the difference.

 

I thought Philly should have been replaced before he scored, second half he was supposed to be right wing yet was consistently inside rather than providing an option out wide. Whether that was because of Dunn's instructions or not, I don't know. However it gave us no option to strech the play down that wing until Wilson overlapped and several moves lost momentum through it.

 

Fair play to him for the goal though, it became clear that Lee struggled in the conditions with shots that were low and bouncing abit.

 

Hopefully the fan taken ill is ok.

That last goal was absolutely :censored:e but we'll take it.

 

7th best away record, 23rd best away record.

 

What is so wrong with BP?

 

Its the way teams set up against us, as well as our formations, Barnsley however now play 4-4-2, this should be ideal for Rasulo (if he starts) to exploit, I'm backing him to score a goal or two in this one. Mansfield I'm not sure about.

What a roller-coaster of emotions experienced this afternoon!

 

First we had a minute’s silence before kick-off in solidarity with the people of France.

Then a fellow Latics supporter was taken seriously ill, to the extent of paramedics being involved and Latics fan Kenny administering CPR, with all supporters moved out of that section of the crowd and a sheet being used to screen him.

 

While this was going on, the chanting amongst Latics supporters became subdued understandably, only to be broken by a minute’s applause for the late Marton Fulop. Football was put into perspective!

 

The goal conceded was another defensive howler, and as the performance of the players got worse, the dark atmosphere amongst Latics fans boiled over with a scuffle over a difference of opinion.

 

After what I’m told was four minutes of CPR, it worked – well done Kenny!

 

On the pitch Latics continued to perform like an under 12s’ team and they left the field to boos at half-time.

 

The second half continued with nothing for the fans to get excited about, and when eventually Latics produced a shot, the fans celebrated it as if it was a goal. Then we had “let’s pretend we’ve scored” and the black humour was successful in raising smiles out of the desperation experienced so far. In response to a question, Tommy Lee pointed to where he keeps his caravan, as Latics fans continued to make their own amusement.

 

Then the pitch was lit up with the arrival of Giorgio Rasulo. In no time he had produced a bit of magic and a shot, which Tommy Lee could only push to the side of the goal, where Poleon snapped it up for the equaliser. Suddenly the black cloud was lifted over our part of the ground and the fans raised the roof.

 

Then it happened, with Poleon ordered to leave the field to repair a boot malfunction, Latics got that long-awaited slice of luck. Philliskirk shot from distance at Tommy Lee only for Tommy to prove he is human after all, as he pushed the ball onto the post for it to rebound off him into the net.

 

The faithful traveling support’s prayers were answered and the jubilation was complete with a rendition of ‘Jingle Bells’.

 

It’s rare for the depths of despair and the heights of exhilaration to be experienced so close together, but it can happen supporting Latics. It’s happened before and today was one of those days again.

 

I hope the supporter makes a full recovery and is able to continue his support – we need all we can get.
