LaticMark Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I usually do a Man of the Match poll, but after that piss-poor performance I can't be arsed. 3-5-2 didn't work today, with too many players looking uncomfortable, and FB took too long to revert to 4-4-2. I'd give Miller a mention for at least trying, and scoring a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Can we please just agree that players being paid late is a disgrace and that yes it might have them in the wrong mindset, rather than discussing it and saying the same every week. It's fucking boring. Shouldn't happen. No we wouldn't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunn has tried if before and it didn't work so why try it again when the players are clearly uncomfortable with it. Super class Mansfield played 3 at the back on Tues and it worked v well for them, if they had been even average up front they would have been 3 up before HT In the 2nd half Bunn matched them up and we got a point - I don;t blame him for trying it today.

oafcshuck Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Just rolled in .. Bit bewildered, feel like we're back to square one even though we're top half .. Starting to get the feeling this season will be a 12th-18th season .. Completely outplayed from start to finish .. haven't a clue whose fault that is .. manager? players? chairman? I don't know Didnt sing or speak the Lord's name today .. All I'll say is if John Sheridan was in charge of our club at this moment .... I'd feel so much more confident ..

L1onheartNew Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 What worries me is FBs response to the first question in his post match interview. "I'll probably have to take the blame for that." The interviewer should have replied: "Probably? Fucking Probably???? You played players out of position in a formation that none of them were prepared for against a team whos manager got 10/10 for homework. Fucking probably????"

the_mighty_bosh Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 There's more than one poster on this thread saying that Bunn can go. The impression I get is that we've been decent albeit overly cautious for the first 10 games, followed by an ultra defensive shit performance on Tuesday followed by a shit performance and result yesterday. 12th is a good indicator to me that his tenure has been average so far, by no means great but not awful either. Maybe I'm old school but it absolutely isn't enough to get rid of a manager imo. The formation clearly didn't work yesterday but if we were going to accomodate Baxter (which I hoped we would) then the positions we put the players in pretty much made sense without hindsight. Even Hunt and Taylor did despite obviously being full backs before wing backs. The two odd decisions for me were not playing Hamer ahead of Graham and not including Nepo in the starting XI. I have concerns going forward with Bunn and I hope he's learned from yesterday like he says he has, but as Friday proved he has been far from the least stabilising factor at the club. There's an argument for saying that he's played a large role in it not being a total disaster in spite of the shitshow off the pitch.

The team wearing the light blue stripes had the best player on the pitch in their number 7 - she scored 4 and looked a top player. As for the game itself... as many have already posted on here, 3-5-2 simply did not work. Graham looked poor, Edmundson had his worst game of the season. Baxter just doesn’t look like the player he was during his first spell at the club. From my perspective, three emerged with any credit from yesterday: Miller first half out wide was a real handful and showed some real pace... Gardner worked hard and was my MotM Lang made the goal and should have scored with the header late on Apart from that, it was a failed plan B. Whether the wages fiasco affected the performance I don’t know - but it cannot have helped. Once again the opposition players were quicker to the ball and more skillled when in possession. Wow we are bad to watch this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhamoafc Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I’m not Guna go into detail of the match... however... If anything sums our season up and Frankie Bunn it’s this next sentence. Our best player was a big striker who’s been out of the game for nearly two years, playing out on the right wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have tried to correct this twice now and both times you are wrong-we played 3 at the back for at least first 45 mins despite everybody seeing that Graham was not at the races. How did he not get sent off for that early tackle? Didn't see Hunt near my end/side of the pitch in first half. Poor game management from Bunn.

Maybe I'm old school but it absolutely isn't enough to get rid of a manager imo. I wouldn't be looking to get rid of him yet, but I'd say with perhaps the exception of the Grimsby game, we've had the rub of the green in games where we've picked up points - even against Macclesfield we were hanging on a bit before Miller's goal. Bunn must have reasons for not playing players in their favoured positions. Can't really understand it myself, but I'll bow to his superior knowledge. I think he needs to take it back to 4-4-2 after yesterday's performance and use Baxter off the bench as he has been doing - Baxter clearly has only got, at most, 45 minutes in him and he's best used against a tiring defence rather than from the start. So, everyone fully fit, playing 4-4-2, what is our best starting line-up? Iversen is obviously our best option in goal. Defence - Taylor, Clark and George had been doing alright until yesterday, but not convinced by Graham or Hunt. Could Hamer fit into that back four? Midfield - for all his critics, I think Gardner is our best midfielder. Busy, always wants the ball and is always trying to make things happen, with Nepo on the left, Lang on the right (he's right-footed, so if we're playing him as a winger, surely it makes sense to play him on the right?). Not sure who's partner Gardner in centre midfield - Missilou doesn't seem to do masses wrong, but it's hard to notice his contribution. Based on nothing, maybe the lad from Villa would come in there? Think the big lump/nippy forward combo is the only effective attacking partnership in this division, so Surridge and Miller works, I reckon.

Aye. The player who was most up for it was the one who can probably afford to not get paid. Bit odd him being out wide though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree that he was poor, I’d rather have seen Hamer there. Tell me this then - if he was part of a back 3 in the first half, why was he playing right back and taking the throw ins?
