cplatics Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The shambolic way the club has been run over the last few years was always going to bite us on the arse at some point. The last 2 transfer windows have been shocking with embargo’s affecting planning. The squad has no balance. To many tippy tappy midfielders and no pace or width. Fane and Gardner once again passengers today. They are crap. No support for Doyle. Seriously worried that there is no fight in the squad and the manager does not know his best team.

I think Gardner cops for some undue flak on here, for my money he has been one of our better players recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many think Gardner was a passenger today? He was the only one who showed a willingness to battle IMO. Byrne and McEleney ducked out of tackles and Fane having been booked was a liability.

After I've calmed down I still don't think this is rash. The least I'd expect is him charging around and tracking back whilst we battled. He did neither. Thought he looked ok first half too. I'd honestly rather have a limited footballer that gives everything.

yarddog73 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Four points minimum from the next two games is a necessity, two or less and I think we will drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Eaves scoring, albeit a penalty, is one of those little twists of fate that the world of football likes to throw into the mix now and again. This point last season, Latics had 45 points in 18th spot and a -15 goal difference, with Gillingham and Port Vale also on 45...and Shrewsbury occupying the last relegation place. Who can really tell the outcome of this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll be very disappointed. Both Dale and Wimbledon seem up for the fight and are winning the type of games we’re drawing/losing. Would take 2 draws.

Oh God.....I don't think I can take it anymore... I'm mad as hell.....I haven't renewed my ST yet, suppose I'm like the rest who haven't and we are waiting to see what division we are in. in my opinion this team are better on paper then previous ones when we have been in a relegation battle..yet I feel no one can step up a gear, show some balls and man up....saw Gerrard yelling a few times. Byrne ducked out on several challenges/ half hearted attempts to get the ball. Game was screaming for a big lump up front went some decent crosses went in, or someone just to hold the ball up with their arse or elbow, Doyle was bullied of the ball most times, should have got a Holloway or Davies on soon. my god if we don't turn up on Tuesday players that is, then I dred to think....there will be a decent following so they best bloody well do..grrrrrrrr Oh yes it's my birthday to boot on Tuesday so they best not piss me off any further...

It's just my opinion but I do not think there will be a massive...if any...difference in average uptake on season tickets and crowds will remain roughly the same, if Latics are in League Two. Play badly in League Two, then that could well be a different matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just drawing both of those would probably be fine. They are against relegation rivals away. It’s our home games we MUST get a win or two from. 10 minutes ago, underdog said: Oh God.....I don't think I can take it anymore...

This hasn't helped your case one bit. I said that ignoring the negative aspects of today’s game and just blindingly praising players for the sake of it is delusional. People on here probably think we’ve got a decent crack at the top half. Strange individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is the main problem and trying to find a formation to include him is going to cost us. He can't have a free role at right mid. Play him as a no.10 ( his only position he can play) and then you don't get the best out of an isolated Doyle. Bench him.

I think Doyle is the match winner for us so drop Byrne and get wingers in the team and crosses into box. Not sure Byrne behind one striker is our best option. Rather have 4 hardworking mids and two strikers than Byrne at moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
