Having said that these players know there's few options he can choose from so can drift through games without any concern. Won't put up with it? Its his fault that they didn't play well. Apart from mccalmont because he played like he always plays. Crap. You can't play dkd, bahamboula, mcaleny, hilsner in a defensive minded team woth zero intent on going forward and expect them to play well. Its like playing 9 defensive players and asking them to go all out attack. Itd be a shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were lucky but did defend well. 44 minutes ago, mcfluff1985 said: We really didn't. They hit about 8 straight at Lawlor. Defending was shocking. They just couldn't finish That was the lucky part.

Stainrod Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I kept pleading for us to stop passing short from goal kicks, we are hopeless at it.when Lawlor did go long he put it out of play!!! whilst overall this has been a more entertaining season than we are used to it has also provided too many performances which are amongst the dullest I have seen in nearly 50 years of supporting Latics. Too many players have only the occasional good game (McCalmont, DKD, Mceleney, Bahamboula) some are consistently not good enough (Diarra, Badan,, Ntambwe) and we just don’t have enough height. Curle has a big job ahead, I wouldn’t keep many of this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of ability I don't think a lot of this squad will fit in with his style, including Bahamboula and McAleny (who probably won't be here anyway). Luckily most of the squad are out of contract in the summer so he'll have some chance to make his mark if he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Curle being here next season - it'll be Butler as Head Coach under our esteemed (useless) Sporting Director. We just have to hope that ALMO do one and someone better picks up the pieces.

LightDN123 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If Adams did big the team maybe he should just leave it to the manager and focus on his game as he was poor tonight in his favoured position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCalmont's sporadically shown this season that he's got something about him, but there's been way too many poor performances here to be certain that he'll make it at a higher level. I don't think he'll be comfortable with Curle's strategy, but it might be the making of him if he works hard to adapt to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsy Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Morning after the night before and I still can’t believe how inept a performance that was last night three players come out of that ok Piagianni Lawlor and Fage had good games rest no better than a 5 out of ten performances Hope things improve for weekend when he’s had more time to work with them in training anyway onto Saturday see if we can improve our dismal home record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Can we all just agree, for sanity's sake, that Keith Curle was the last person who was at fault last night?

deyres42 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The pitch looked like the fairway at Carnoustie and we haven't got the personnel to play hoofball. Think it could be a bumpy period as a lot of the lads know they won't be around next season but Curle has no choice but to play them whilst trying to get positive results to give the place a lift.

Did he have his eyes shut for 48 hours ? Has he not seen or heard about us this year ? He set us up to be that defensive. He played Hillsner at left wing back. He played Badan at centre back. He played Ntambwe. Of course he takes part of the blame, he’s the manager and we got absolutely battered. I would be more concerned about the fans who think we defended well because we kept a clean sheet. No let’s get this right, we got battered by Port Vale, they should have scored about 8.

Lee Sinnott2 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Not read through all the comments so apologies if it has all been mentioned before. That was a dreadful performance. I'm going to give Curle a reprieve on the game because he was only in the role for 36 hours, but Hilsnner at LWB might just go down as the worst selection I have ever seen in my time watching Latics. We lose so much of Bahamboula's quality when we play him down the middle. Yes, I know it is another clean sheet but that is solely down to Port Vale being impotent, as were Southend on Saturday. I have also read a stat on Twitter this morning (so might not be fully accurate) that we have failed to score in 11 of our 33 league games this season. Listened to Curle's interview on GMR last night and can't help but feel he is not going to be here at the start of next season. If we were appointing an outside candidate like Curle, it should have been an 18 month deal. If we were just going to offer a deal until the end of the season, we would have been much better given it Murray or Butler in a caretaker role. Apologies for the doom and gloom...

No let’s get this right, we got battered by Port Vale, they should have scored about 8. Our main problem is squad quality and balance. We don't have enough players in certain areas to play most formations so we'll always have to have players out of position. We were rubbish, not for the first time. We had a big gap between the lone striker and the rest of the team, not for the first time. We were on the back foot for most of the game, not for the first time. And the rot had already set in when it comes to scoring. That was our 3rd blank in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what we saw last night it's hard to disagree (bar the hyperbole) but he's generally referred to everywhere as a winger so I'd assume he's played in that position even if he's been doing a different job for us. Thinking a winger might be able to do a job at wing back doesn't strike me as being completely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
