RoyleArmy1994 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Dross from start to finish. Utter awful! I think today (especially with shrewsbury winning), pretty much confides us to an impossible challenge! Only decent shout out is for that Palmer, looked great!

Markspark92 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Let's hope Shez pulls a few rabbits out of the hat ie Palmer he needs a miracle to save us think the damage has already been Dunn Edited January 23, 2016 by Markspark92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluear Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We created some great chances, attacked them, played more direct, looked dangerous for about 80 of the 90. Big improvements. Missed some easy chances. Play like that every week the wins will start coming. Aren't coming up against 2 strikers that big and strong each week. One new CB and we will not be a bad side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I really think we're down now. A losing mentality has well and truly set in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) We lost because of another stupid defensive mistake, I had already resigned myself to the fact we are going down, my biggest gripe about today was the 2 footed challenge off the ground by the Bury player in the 2nd half, only a yellow?

Gaz_Oafc Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We were the better side but that means :censored: all. We need 10 performances like Bury's today. We also need a Peter Clarke, Tom Pope & Leon Clarke. Was really impressed with Palmer...the bloke infront of me couldn't get his head round the fact that our "best player was a loanee from :censored:in Burton" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1laticsfan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Bloody hell, we just bossed the whole game pretty much!! We could of played for a month and not scored. One mistake cost us, granted there was a few that luckily didn't cost us but on the whole a much better performance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I really think we're down now. A losing mentality has well and truly set in. This. Play well and we lose, which we arguably have done for the past few home games. That's when you know you're doomed. If Shez gets this gutless bunch out of it we should name the stand after him.

If you're saying that was dross and utter awful what have you been watching all season? Finally we've attacked a team for the majority of the game.

Magister Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Had we scored they would have scored again as easily as they did after 9 minutes. They set up 2 banks of 4 and were happy to sit as long as it was 1-0...... Even then they had the 2 best chances of the second half ....and this lot have lost their last 4 league games and their last 7 away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvlatic Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Shame we couldn't at least score to wipe that smug smile from 'Mr touchy-feely' flitcrofts face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Big mistake not to start with Murphy, he would have worked well with Palmer, he gets into the right areas, Poleon or Forte up front don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Much better today, we showed attacking intent from the off. Nothing between the teams really apart from yet another massive defensive clanger!! Plenty off effort but no question we need some quality injecting into that side. As has been posted earlier, I think the losing mentality has set in now and it's hard to see how we can change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky_Latic Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just glad Shez isn't scared of going for games No pressure on him to keep us up for me. It's a rebuilding job now ready for a stint in league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been posted earlier, I think the losing mentality has set in now and it's hard to see how we can change that. Have to agree with that. The only other thing I would add is that whilst the effort is improving, there seems to be a distinct lack of passion for the 'shirt' - whether that's part of the losing mentality or the short-term contract aspect for some of the players I don't know. Either way I never feel that I'm watching an Oldham team but rather a collection of footballers who just happen to be wearing an Oldham shirt.

Lee Sinnott Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've always said we won't. But when you're 8 points from safety, you have to accept that there's a very strong probability that we're going down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 2 players in the mould of Lockwood and Higdon would have seen a different score today. No physical presence at each end of the pitch. Bury were just like a lot of clubs in this league, big , strong and Well organised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wouldn't call today a massive improvement we are still 3-4 players away from staying up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen an Oldham team that has played for the shirt in the 6ish years I've been arsed. They don't exist any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rebuilding job now ready for a stint in league 2 I still thought we'd stay up before today (mainly because we always seem to get out of it). After that and after having a more in depth look at the table, it would appear we're :censored:ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Why isn't Vassell given a chance, can't be as weak at these two centre backs can he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thought today was a decent effort. Too little, too late to save this season, though. Should have had a penalty, their 'keeper played a blinder....thought we could have moved the ball a bit quicker at times, taking two or three touches when one would have got us into a better position faster. Palmer looked good and Dieng was solid. All irrelevant though, probably and we might need to start thinking about building for next season in League Two sooner rather than later.

BP1960 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 16 shots and 10 corners today, yet no goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pretty poor following from Bury with only 1237. I know they've never travelled well to BP, but I thought with all the money they've spent, and with a decent start to the season they might have brought a decent following.
