Careca9 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thought we were in control most of game as Kelly bossed centre mid. We have very little cutting edge, higdon holds up ball and nothing else. He needs two wingers who can cross to be effective. Dunn made a good change and the two subs and poleons running up front won us the game although rasulo shooting got us the break. Dieng and Wilson solid but Coleman and other Wilson poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 What a roller-coaster of emotions experienced this afternoon! First we had a minutes 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 minutes 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 Im 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 lets pretend weve 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 supports prayers were answered and the jubilation was complete with a rendition of Jingle Bells. Its rare for the depths of despair and the heights of exhilaration to be experienced so close together, but it can happen supporting Latics. Its 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. Nicely put Diego that's how I felt throughout the match. One of the strangest atmospheres I've been in at a football ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) 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. Well said, beat Mansfield and Barnsley would give us real momentum and a healthy dose of self belief.

Great report Diego glad that you and a few others got to see us gain the 3 points, presumably in a rather fortunate manner. As all will do, sending best wishes to the fan who was poorly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Unbeaten away in the league this season - the football may be dire but that is a very positive stat. Like they say, draw your away games and win your home games. We'd be doing very well if we accomplished the other half of that. New tactics needed.

NewBlue Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Having seen the highlights, their goal shows the virtues of having a settled side. Kelly and Wilson in a right mess, but that's to be expected when neither knows the other's job. Rasulo has the quality you'd expect. Him and Poleon both clearly forward-thinking, which we lack from certain others at times. Poleon ain't going to finish them all but he'll make enough chances for himself if we have the creative players behind him. Think I'd bin Yeates and Higdon to try to get Winchester, Philly and Rasulo in the same midfield with Poleon up top. Would lack width, but with Dummigan and Mills back - both handy attacking - and hopefully Jones too to cover with Kelly, you'd think it might work. Philly deserves praise for the goal too, even if it was :censored:e. Bounce it in front of the keeper on a slippery surface and you've always got a chance - he's not daft...

No matter who is behind will not work & it hasn't all season. He can't hold the ball up & his first touch is :censored:e. He has pace but to be effective he needs to have some up alongside him.

NewBlue Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 If you can retain the ball relatively high up the pitch you don't need somebody who can hold the ball up. With Philly, Winchester and Rasulo's ability on the ball + Jones, they must be able to do that reasonably well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
