Also Sheffield United sacked Billy Mcewan after the 5-0 , Grimsby sacked Alan Buckley after the 6-0 and Sunderland sacked Lawrie Mc. There a long list of them As disjointed says losing to Latics is the final disgrace. Was at Bramall Lane for the 5-0 all the more remarkable given our terrible record there.

I nearly didnt go as I'm sure it was news year day and I was still hammered and not feeling well. We'd just started to turn the corner that season. I think Mcewen was sacked before we got home.

Still think he needs to change system at home, a better team than Bradford would've beat us comfortably today I think. Edit: probably a bit harsh actually. But it was all a bit disjointed It doesn't matter what system they play if they can't string passes together. That was an awful football match. The difference between the two sides was that we are capable of scoring goals. Donaldson has gone completely. He's a fraction of the player he used to be.

SweeperKeeper Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Funniest thing is that Bradford gave McCall an 18 month extension just two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 As always with Latics I'm never relaxed unless 2 up with 2 minutes left. Thought Bradford kept going and had their chances. Just pleased how we are scoring lots of goals but not happy leaking too many soft self inflicted goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It’s makes a refreshing change to be scoring goals after the barren years of shite we’ve endured! Conceding soft goals looks like something we’ll probably have to put up with until at least January. It’s not ideal, but for now, as long as we consistently manage to score at least one more than the opposition I’m more than happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it’s something that Kewell and Maybury will work on in training as giving the ball away just invites pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Garrity especially was guilty of just flicking the ball aimlessly 10 or 15 yards when, with a little composure, a team mate could have been found to set up a counter attack. I've no problem with any player clearing the ball out of harm's way but moving it a few yards is just transferring the problem. Garrity is a bit of an enigma. He gets about the pitch well and on Saturday put in a few saving defensive covering tackles as well as popping up in the opposition box but his passing most of the time is woeful. Same applies to Keillor-Dunn. He's energetic and showed against Bradford his forte for running with the ball at the opposition but his distribution is abysmal. To get the best out of these two they must concentrate on the things they do adequately, even though passing to your own players is quite a big part of the game.

penrhyn Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Funny that Bradford took off the biggest guy on the pitch after less than 30 minutes. We looked like we had run out of a bit of steam for the last 10 minutes, Bradford hadn't played in midweek which must have been a factor. Just happy to see us win at home . Tuesday will be tough against Well TALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobledgersheart Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Wasn't injured, just didn't tackle Bamboozler or mark Piergianni 3 times from corners so McCall "pulled him off ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced him with who ? I thought he did his job pretty well. His storming runs forward ( without much positive consequence admittedly ) and tackles got the crowd going at least and relieved pressure when things weren't going our way.
