oafc1955 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 1 hour ago, LaticMark said: "Keith Curle hopes the situation surrounding Latics' latest transfer restrictions is rectified before January, having already earmarked targets." www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk A couple of Curle’s comments from that article caught my eye…… “We've already started identifying areas within the team that we think we can improve.” What an understatement that is!! “Can I keep this football club up? Yes," he said. That’s nice to know but what happened to the top 10 position he predicted preseason? We’ve had some wofflers managing our club over the years but even having to put up with the present shit show this guy takes some beating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re holding a spot for jan and can’t afford anyone why not just put him in? Vaughan has already started a league game. As has Luamba.

Luamba was also in the starting eleven for the next game home to Barrow but has been injured since then. Vaughan is not starting games because, in my opinion, he is not yet physically up to playing a full ninety minutes in League 2. He is being carefully managed and is having an impact coming off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember Pep doing the same with Foden when many were calling for him to be sent out on loan to gain experience.........that seems to have turned out OK.

latics22 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 We don’t have superstars on the bench, if they are good enough there old enough! Let’s face it we will only have Him a year get him playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Even this early in the season this is a must win game. Not that it really matters but If we lose today should Curle go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a guess that (rumoured to be) City, won't want him exposed too much if they are to shell out £££s in Jan on him.

I don’t think he should go if we do but he literally has to pick something up the week after and be flexible with his formation to get the best out of baha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Vaughan starts today against Carlisle ) Maybe so but I agree with your overall point Vaughan and Luamba need to be eased into the team gradually. They might start today but we shouldn't expect them to start every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix blue and tangerine Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Agree Kev, highlighted by any dead ball situation we had. Curle has a bag of shit to deal with (Hope et al) but whatever his tactics are the players don't get it, and neither do I. Time to go unfortunately, before we disappear in the abyss of non league.

the_mighty_bosh Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 There should be every reason, with the state that the club is in, to want to keep Curle in place for as long as possible to add a modicum of stability to our situation. And yet he's doing so badly that it can't be long before we roll the dice with another manager, and I wouldn't be too sympathetic. So many square pegs in round holes in that side today and he isn't getting the most out of a lot of players, especially the attackers. I'm not expecting the next manager to be particularly good either but I'm not convinced that Curle will change his ways, and his ways aren't working.

I'm not expecting the next manager to be particularly good either but I'm not convinced that Curle will change his ways, and his ways aren't working. This. Even allowing for the poor hand that he has been dealt with (injuries and low standard footballers), Curle is failing on a number of fronts. He persists with a formation that the players simply don’t look comfortable with. He continues to play key players out of position. The balance in midfield, put simply, will never work. He has failed to get so many of the midfield and forwards to put in a tackle or work as a team to close down the opposition. In short he is not getting a shift out of too many of his starting eleven This is all the more evident when the young lads are thrown on. They at least show desire. He is extremely fortunate to still be in charge at the moment. And as for his snippet from his post match interview… ”It is what it is and I’ll deal with it” … we’ve heard this on too many occasions and the problem is that Curle is quite clearly NOT dealing with it I do have some sympathy with him but sadly I don’t think he has much time left to turn this around.
