BP1960 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Some really poor performances today, apart from Hart who is better than playing with this lot. Hallam Hope was hopeless (forgive the pun) just ran around doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Lose at Sutton next and that will equal our start to 2017/18 in losing the first 5 league games. That season did not end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC_ULTRA Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Bottom of league 2 with no points. An owner who is as popular as a pork chop at a vegan restaurant, a football director who knows as much about football as Donald Trump does about Covid vaccines and A CEO who could give Lord Lucan a run for his money in a game of hide and seek. The whole thing is a farce and one, I am glad to say I dont pay towards. The owners are more bothered about appearance than the club. They need publicly embarrassing. Fans need to join together and show them that their regime is not wanted. Time is running out for Latics and I worry that nothing will happen and the death will be slow and painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the very very few positives from today. it’ll be that old adage of is he too small? Will he get easily bullied etc etc? Don’t necessarily buy in to all that bollocks, plenty of small players turn out to be great players. I do think he’ll need to bulk up a bit as he grows in to a man, but definite positive signs there.

kev1970 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 We missed three very good chances in the first half should have taken one cannot see hope scoring he is crap no wonder he came to us everybody else could see how bad he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Featured Comment LaticsLegend Posted August 21, 2021 Featured Comment Share Posted August 21, 2021 Wow. Where to start with that? I saw things today that I didn't know were possible by professional footballers. Aimless passes out of play, problems with basic positioning, players standing behind their opponents, zero creativity or options for the man with the ball. Totally devoid of ideas. Easiest away fixture in the league. First half was nothing short of embarrassing for a so called professional team. Totally devoid of ideas, zero confidence and all on completely different wave lengths. Formation doesn't work, half of them didn't seem to know how to play their given position and at times I had to double check they didn't have an extra man on the pitch. The major problem is we are not good enough to play out from the back and don't have the striker to win the long balls - I'm not really sure where you go from there, it all becomes a bit become a bit useless and pointless if you cant do at least one of those things. Colchester didn't really need to get out of first gear. Comfortable from the start and the game was won after the second went in. Anyway, I'll have a stab at a brief summary for each of our players. Walker - Fine. Be nice if we could play our proper keeper thought wouldn't it? Adams - Looking his age, thought he was running through treacle at times. Rightfully hooked at the break. In his defence, he wasn't helped by balls being pumped into him about 3ft above his head. Clarke - Looks like he could be OK, athletic and has a go. The other two next to him don't help at all. Piergianni - Have given him some slack in the past but he's not a football league player. Decent in the air but all over the shop when strikers are in and around him. Easy target to get at. Sheehan - Rubbish. Shouldn't really be an option for us but somehow he's found himself as a starter. Hart - Struggled positionally and made some bad decisions. Offside flag saved him a couple of times. Came alive a bit at the end and got stuck in....just 75 mins too late. Cisse - Doesn't really know what to do with the ball, but didn't have many options. Not quite sure what he offers apart from a big of presence. New QPR lad - Must be wondering what on earth he is doing here. Tried to make stuff happen but again, zero options. DKD - Shocking 45 mins. Couldn't get anything right, not good enough to be a regular. Bahamboula - When he's good, he's really good. When we're struggling and haven't got momentum he goes a bit missing. Got the goal and looks our only source of goals. Lost interest at times but still our best player. Hope - Didn't win a header all day. He's not the answer. If he is our starting centre forward all season, I personally think we'll go down. Diarra - What a strange player this guy is. Unconventional style, reckless, useless. Vaughan - Start him next week. Lively, brave, had a go, made things happen. He's raw but i'd rather see him on the pitch than 95% of the others. Luamba - Not fair to depend on him. Again, puts himself about but he's not ready. Final note on the pitch invasion. Good start but 30 kids on a pitch isn't going to have the impact....particularly when they are begging the players they've just called shit for 90 for their shirts! But at least they are willing to start taking some action. The pressure against this ownership needs to step up now. More on the pitch, do it during a game, get people forcing entry inside the club. Whatever we have to do to stop this painful death of our once proud football club.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Alb Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 15 minutes ago, Londonboy said: How did Bettache do? Pretty well I thought. Similar to Vaughan in desire to move the ball forward. Tidy in possession. FWIW I thought Diara did OK when he came on too. Just fed up at giving poor teams a two goal head start. DKD needs to be benched indefinitely and the team need to prevent the soft goals. Absolutely need to pick up some points from somewhere soon.
