OneSizeFitz Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Shez clearly trying to make a point by playing Hunt in central midfield - there really can't be any other explanation. A bizarre decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laticfanatic1 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Sheridan has got to go. I'm not arsed. Something has gone on. That team today weren't interested one little bit. No fight or passion, looked like they've just been dragged off Clayton 5 mins before kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From listening to wigans commentary and snippets of radio manc fane was what we missed. Wigan comms said banks was the reason our midfield was working as we needed a grafter. He was missed out of desperation more than anything. However, him and Fawns or Gardner, or them as a three, looks to me our most promising midfield combination out of the available options. Let's not be funny though, Powell and co would've still run rings around him, he would've just give us the slim satisfaction of seeing a player who tries.

oafc1955 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Gardner a big positive but would serve us better further up the pitch. The young winger did OK. Other than that we were shocking. This team playing that formation and those tactics will score even less than last season! We need a couple of quality players because this team will not stay up!

Fruitygoo Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Said last week fane did his job and it was the playmaking midfielders that were causing the problem... It showed in first 15 mins that nobody else is capable of putting a foot in. At 2 0 they dropped into 1st gear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) We have to ignore today's game as Wigan will be at the top come May and their budget dwarves ours significantly. However, questions need to be asked regarding Corney's comments around two or three surprises incoming AFTER we had signed the current squad apart from Wilson on loan. Also, what is the board's position regarding Shez's request that 5-6 new players needed. We've got 11 days in this window and I do expect comings and goings but it's obvious that some seriously injection is needed in the middle of the park, between the sticks, one at the back and another up front. If we have to be choosy then I think our midfield needs overhauling - two creative at least - so we stick with our strikers as is. Baxter would be cheap and despite his issues would improve the middle immediately. However I think we need a central defender though. Corney can't magic the funds obviously but the first three games is showing that it'll be one long and painful season fighting safety without strengthening. Does he want that or progress in the league to maintain and build on attendances?! Edited August 19, 2017 by Midsblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The sadist in me actually thinks we were a slight improvement from our last home game...I know...slight. i was expecting us to get thumped and a 2-0 down I thought we were as they beat Bury 4-1 last week. They were bloody tall weren't they yet seem to fall on the floor a lot, think they took their foot off the gas in the second half As we had little to offer. was our only shot on target in the last 5 mins?.... bloody tanoy in the RRE was not working again, so lots of people were unsure when to clap at the 56th minute. I believe, yes believe the scoreboard part of the perimeter wasn't on today as allegedly the only person who can reset it/work it was on holiday and there does not seem to be any instructions/handover for anyone else. And the officials? I am at a loss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always seem to find ourselves back in this position but corney always tends to be able to give a shot of morphine to enough fans just as the end seems near. But every season it goes on, a few more fans can't stay the course and fall by the wayside. We cant and won't sustain anything other than a bottom of the table fight under his ownership. I have come to accept that and that's way I don't invest much of my money into the club along with many others. My fear is he has also now made the club unsaleable through the years of asset stripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardner was a big positive, doesn't suprise me that you missed that! Find someone with a bit of nouce/ guile who can organise alongside him and we'll be ok. Unfortunately no such person exists at the club and we have no cash. I think well have someone in before the window but at the moment there is a huge disconnect between the midfield and the rest of the team! Other than that it was shite! Now as much as I'd love to tell you and all the Wigan fans abusing me in Twitter how wrong you all are. I'm off out with the wife for her birthday! We move on to Blackpool where we WILL be better! p.s Ollie Banks can fuck the fuck off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
