If that were to hapoen we would cement our position at the bottom of the EFL Human Relations league. ....and good luck to anyone developing a vaccine for that!

If he carries on scoring regularly that’ll do me. To hell with this modern day coaching bollocks that strikers must track back, put a shift in, blah blah. Two words to that. Gerd Muller.

No idea why people are pining for him, I would take any other manager we've had under the current regime over him. You've a lot to choose from....

Spot on. Exactly the reason England have struggled to score goals lately, given Southgate’s obsession with playing two holding midfielders.

What's ridiculous is that their people who still believe that managers tactics have had anything to do with our abject failure over the last 3 years, and inevitable slide into non-league in the next 2 years. This squad is well short of quality and experience and is getting worse every year, no tactical formula is going to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think plenty of managers could have had us playing better football than the ultra-negative shite dished up, and ended up finishing higher than 19th. Wild and Bunn were never setting us up for a point at home to Stevenage, when the squad was capable of three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football experts talk about confidence a great deal. I dont see we have much, a string of poor results in proper games (not pre season practice stuff) wont help. I listen to HK waxing on about big changes which will need 3 years to bed in .... come on Harry. I agree with you that PW or FB had a natural enthusiasm and positive demeanour, which is surely infectious? While I was for giving Dino a chance with his players (never had that chance really), his outlook was to avoid defeat to any side. This is so one dimensional, we all saw how it could be wasteful against weaker sides or pointless against a Salford at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Apparently, this is what the Vale coach had to say after the game......, Port vale coach speaking after the game on BBC stoke on how vale planned to expose 2 weak Oldham full backs and lack of muscle in midfield & lack of height at CB . He quoted watching videos of previous Oldham games this season how easy it is to get behind our full backs . We’ve all alluded to this since the season’s opener and it’s so obvious........how is it everyone can see it except our coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can’t honestly say selection so far has been either consistent or that we are making progress as players get used to each other. He has to take a small portion of blame for where we are as we keep conceding loads of goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stopped blaming managers for pretty much anything the minute lifelong Latics fan and aspiring coach Pete Wild turned down his dream job of managing the club to manage Halifax town.

Formations don't always matter at our level, but I'm surprised we didn't keep with the back three that we had in the previous two games. Granted we weren't particularly good against Carlisle, but the back three offered much needed protection for the wing-backs. One of the minor positives is that we have a bit of quality in attack with our front three, so we can afford to put an extra player as part of the defensive unit. It is badly needed.

leeflorida Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I would show the first half of that game in the dressing room as a lesson on how not to defend. It was unreal how bad we were at the back. Could have been 3 or 4 down in the first 20 mins! There are goals at the other end with Dearnley, Mcaleny and Rowe but got to stop shipping goals. Piergianni needs another decent CB along side him. I am worried we could be Southends first win on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
