Simpo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I haven't been going much at all lately, in part because more often than not, going to Latics meant watching a team that wasn't worth getting behind, not worth supporting. But these last two games have been enjoyable, not because there's lots of talent on display (although there's flashes, McCann, love watching Smith), but they play like they give a shit, and really want to win. That should be the bare minimum, but at the moment, they're a team worth getting behind, a team worth supporting. I'm not trying to make a deep comment or an important point really, but I know there will be plenty like me who are in two minds about whether to go to games, and thought I would offer my thoughts. And it was quite exciting at 1-1 when both teams were going for it, made me realise it's all too rare now you see both teams trying to win.

Well done Dino. I just looked it up. Our last win in a Christmas fixture was 2008 when we beat Crewe away on Boxing Day 3-0. Last time we won both was the season I mentioned (2006) There were a couple of seasons we didn't play over Christmas due to weather - in 2010 we didn't play a game in December at all. But even so, that's an awful record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think there a lot that would hate to see the team do well, because they feel it’s vindicating the ownership. It isn’t. Nothing would stop me getting behind a promotion push. .

Dino the man wont stand laziness and knows this league well. 2 strikers in and a left back we could easy get the last playoff spot will need luck along the way though as all teams do. I notice lacovitti is getting forward well, but in defence is often caught out ahead of the unmarked opposing wide player. Something which I think needs rectifying.

I think we’ve lost about 1 in 8 now. We can’t. Can we? Jesus! Read everyone's thoughts, I'm hardly ultra negative or ultra positive! But any talk of the play offs is absolute cuckoo land. We have breathing space and thats it! I hope it's enough to keep us up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need players who will throw themselves at the cause. Wilson is a great finisher, and hes quick. But he doesn't fly about. Everytime a clearance or long ball is made, wherever it goes, segbe is there or not far away. I would like both of them to start, so I half agree with u, but we need all the running and fearlessness we can. Causes mistakes and 90% of goals in league two come from mistakes as did today's goal for Segbe... Made up for him worked his arse off all game.. He seems to get subbed by Dino, to me says alot about Segbe.. i would rather have him starting than wilson . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careca9 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 pleased for everyone as think we can all see we starting to look ok on pitch and the threat of relegation is passing. however, talk of playoffs must be too much xmas booze. we are in the 3 worst run clubs in the country, and despite both managers getting things going on the pitch after slow starts nothing will make up for our poor ownership. no chance of top 7, in fact i wouldn't be surprised if there's no business in jan done by the club. lets just all be greatful we aren't bottom and heading out of the year and prey someone wins some money and takes us over. oh and top win today, azankpo isn't the best but he tries his heart out, and i think worthy of a squad place at min because of that effort. wasn't long ago we had a similar player in warne who everyone liked and his goal for game ratio wasn't much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant win today at what potentially could have been a banana skin of a game.. This squad of players are certainly playing for the current management team., what with new players due to be coming in in jan, and 1 coming back from loan, it all makes for an exciting run of games.. Everyone of them players put a shift in today, i also would do what i could to keep McCann , i do believe a contract has been offered him just a matter of time.. He has made a massive difference to our team. Credit to Dino and board for bringing him in.. Also our link up play today was first class,we kept switching Morias and Smith that worked a treat also.. roll on Salford another winnable game !

astottie Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I know where you're coming from and I agree with your analysis. Isnt the point though that it's the cloud cuckoo land that keeps us interested? If it wasnt for cloud cuckoo land I wouldn't have gone to the last 3 games of the season that we had to win to have a chance of staying up having not won 3 on the bounce all that season. Then again it is the hope that kills you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Segbe thoroughly deserved his goal today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDHAMADE Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Having seen off crawley, we backed that up with another great away win, if we manage to get 6 points from our up and coming home games and who knows where we could end up. I was told today that a striker is incoming, that in itself is proof we're taking it seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
