daniel Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Terrible terrible game of football. Should be a 1-0 win with a disgusting linesman's decision costing us, who will be back on the line at another game next week no doubt, absolutely no accountability for poor decisions. How Hope gets a game is beyond me, absolutely terrible player. Bahamboula was a disgrace today at times, walking around not interested at all. I know he’s a crowd favourite, but there is no excuse for that performance from him. Defensively looking unspectacular but solid. We won’t go down, simply because there are worse sides than us, but no mistaking that this is the worst group of players in my 33 years alive.

oafc1955 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Totally inept, no quality or composure throughout from back to front. No goals once again and why the hell did we recruit Hallam Hope and where is he supposed to fit in…. he’s absolute dog shit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperKeeper Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 He was played out of position today, but Hope is one of the worst football players ever to wear the shirt. Plays with his head down, terrible decision maker (the 3 v 3 he destroyed single handedly was cringe worthy), can't pass, can't beat a man, and a worse strike rate than Urko Vera. And it's not lack of service. The number of times he has been played in this season, and he hasn't got to a single ball. Just no pace or anticipation. I'd rather see Fage start up front than Hope. Or Danielewicz. Or Curle. Anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help me out here … we didn’t concede a goal today and restricted Carlisle to 1 shot on target. That back line (since McGahey was allowed to play) has kept 5 clean sheets in the last 7 league games. I’d suggest that that’s not the problem… the problem lies at the other end of the pitch no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is midfield and attack, midfield are so slow when we could break and the attack, well we all know if Bahamboula has a bad day, which he has just shown, then we have nothing, DKD can be a threat but 90% of his play is soft and careless, just like the rest of the midfield and attack, if we can call them attackers. Very poor, that carlisle team would have been batteted by last seasons team sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liner just took a wild guess because Bowden followed it in. Shocking decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperKeeper Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 With McAleny playing, we probably win that match. Midfield wasn't great today but they still created enough. There's just nobody to finish the chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperKeeper Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 By the way, credit to Da Silva when he came on. He hassled their tiring defenders into a couple of mistakes we should've taken advantage of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curle really is going to stick with 3 at the back and wing backs, even when he has to go out of his way to do it, isn't he? I can't say that Hope has been good up front, but in the team short on strikers and following on from him finally breaking his duck for the season, why is he being used as a wing-back? Good to hear that Da Silva was a nuisance when he came on. With our severe lack of forward options it looks like we are going to need to get creative in order to find a goalscoring formula. As it stands I'm more than happy to have us give youngsters a chance to prove themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 We’ve failed to score in 7 of our 14 league games. We are almost a third the way through the season and have just 12 points. We are on course for about 40 which I fear will not be enough. We created a couple of chances today and could have won the game but our reduced attacking threat has been further sacrificed for the pursuit of clean sheets. Hope as a replacement for Conor Mac…..Do me a favour!!!!! This is without doubt the most inept and impotent Latics squad I have ever seen…absolutely abysmal!! If we don’t address the embargo situation which would allow a signing or two in the January window our hopes of survival in this division will almost certainly go down to the wire.
