MATCH: vs Morecambe (A) 17/04/21 (12:30KO)

[TheBigDog]

Game over. Poor defending cost us. From the ‘John Helm school of glass half full’ we did win the second half AND had more corners...

 

Walker should not have started 

Fage should have been subbed at halftime.

Jameson and Clarke were very poor.

DKD contributed very little.

McCalmont contributed even less.

 

Having said that, Morecambe had three hugely influential players in Diagouraga, Mendez-Gomez and Stockton. We could not cope with their movement.

We did well to only lose by the odd goal in seven.

 

And as for the co commentator...

6-4-2 would suit us!

 

Even if we played a 6-4-0 formation we'd still probably lose 6-4.

Really poor. Roll on 9th May. Sick of most of the players. Sick of the manager. Sick of the owner. Sick of the CEO. Sick of the Sporting Director. Sick of Blitz. Sick of people thinking it is acceptable to be 17th in League Two because we score a few goals...

Wanted to give you an upvote and a thanks because that's where I'm at right now, collectively they're no representation of Oldham people, we have more fight in us.

Morecambe have always punched above their weight but it appears they've been taking lessons off tyson fury and at 4-1 down we were spark out

Good luck to them but we were shite to be in the situation we were, I wouldn't care if we forfeit the remaining games especially when you can't be arsed.

I don’t know of anyone and I mean ANYONE who thinks that 17th in League 2 is acceptable. And honestly, do you?

I love being 17th in league two. Having no hope of ever doing anything means you’re never disappointed. Hopefully we’ll just keep existing for many years to come.

Im all for it - it will stop you demanding it on cue everytime we lose a game 

 

take it you were ok with 3-5-2 the two games we won prior to today??

Despite comments to the contrary there is massive potential at this club with the right owner at the helm!!

Our ambition has been eroded year on year by poor decisions, poor recruitment, and poor leadership to such an extent that the bar has now been reset to a ridiculously low level.

 

Cambridge, Cheltenham, Morecambe, Forest Green and Newport have all performed exceedingly well and fully deserve to be challenging for promotion but they are all much smaller clubs than ourselves yet show that with the right management and infrastructure absolutely anything is possible!

 

I am 100% certain as a football club we should be challenging in the division above and still have the potential to reach the Championship.

 

I am also 100% certain that unfortunately under our current ownership we have absolutely no chance of realising that potential.

No, the defence apart from Pidge was poor in both. This will continue.

He does put out some strange posts I’ll grant you that

 

His latest gem: ‘Why not just acknowledge it's been great when we've been scoring, and annoying as hell when we concede?’

 

Er ..yeah.. right

That’s the players who are shit not the system - having 4 shit defenders instead of 3 will still equal shit

One less will certainly be an improvement.

Totally understand your feeling about the owner. I dont care a fxxk about who owns it but it need to be everything that is owned not just the brand.

 

 I also believe that they should take no part in the footballing side of a Club.

 

Pay the bills, keep a Club afloat and bask in any glory that may come there way. Unfortunately under the current regime they are getting involved. I would also love to know what their motives are

Listening to the KC interview he already knows which players won't be retained.

Whether Mo agrees is another matter.

If some are kept against his judgement I can see him walking. If he gets his way on who's in and out I think it will be a good sign.

With Whelan and McCalmont in the centre of midfield, for all their positives, they would offer very little protection for 2 centre backs.  This is why Ntambwe was used even though he's not a good player at this level.  3 centre backs allows the midfield a bit more freedom.

 

Our full/wing backs like to get forward and are a bit suspect when defending, so having extra protection behind them from a back three allows them to play to their strengths.

 

Finally if we played with wingers, who would their crosses be aimed for?  Low crosses would be our only option with DKD and McAleny up front.  It's not perfect but Bahamboula, DKD and McAleny work well as fluid front three.

[Sloshed Joe]

If recruitment is left to Mo we’ll probably sign Tasmedir in the summer on a 3 year contract
