Their taking the hand out of the fans who spend their hard earned cash every week following that shower up and down the country. ps for a second division team trying to play out from the back and getting caught out 99% of the time they deserve the abuse alone ffs.

Fingers crossed but not hopeful as these will be direct and ugly. 1-2 loss my prediction. Do we have a best team ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players and coaches are the only club representatives who fans get access to so it wouldn’t surprise me if some of the anger at the way the club is run spills over onto the terraces. It’s a shame the decision makers at the club are all utter cowards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if some are already fixed up with other clubs in January and others told they will be released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support during the game was mostly great, particularly first half. Second half was a lot quieter as we retreated into our shell and barrow got a grip on the game, coupled with the bizarre subs, the stupid playing out from the back from goal kicks (until the fan reaction forced them to start going long) then the ridiculous time wasting. The boos at the end were pure frustration - not just for the players being shit (which they mostly were) but for the general tactics and approach to the match. At least the chippy near where I parked was outstanding to make the trip not a total write off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting your scouting hat on BP if you were a scout who would you be recommending I can only think Vaughan and Piergianni will be getting any interest. Bahamboula has shown no form this season Couto probably still has some development to do so I can't see them getting any interest either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of things are forgiveable due to the state of the club and yes they are poor players with low skill levels and tactical nowse, but that goes for Barrow too, we desperately needed 3 points and really could have put the effort and passion into getting them. They need to fight and give 100% because if they cant do that then whats the point in playing. I played football all my life and always gave 100% and more at times, and I paid subs to play. No excuses, man up and do your fecking jobs, politics etc put aside and play for the shirt and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 There is not a single one of these players play for the shirt! Oldham Athletic means absolutely Jack Shit to any of them,their only interest is picking up their pay packet every month and maybe having some crazy dream that they will one day play at a higher level. Every last one of them, barring youngsters Cuoto,Vaughan et al are absolutely crap. They have ended up with us because nobody else will have them,so don't be thinking there will be any form of mass exodus. Unless the gruesome twosome pay this bunch off they won't be going anywhere. Even then, we have to rid ourselves of loads of these dummies to be able to bring in just a couple of new recruits ( please correct me if i am wrong on this point) Which brings us onto any potential new arrivals, we can only hope that the tea lady has been promoted to head of recruitment. 2022 going to be a cracker eh ?

When we KO’d Liverpool we should have been well beaten, on any rational basis. The win was due in no small part to a fantastic determination to have a go, backed up by great crowd support. The two fed off each other. I can forgive the lack of quality, for all the reasons that you rightly point out. I can’t forgive a lack of effort and time wasting, in a match we had to win.

Dickie Down Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Like any workforce who work in an unstable environment with poor leadership and management, unhappy customers and with an uncertain future, our players will inevitably have poor morale. Their lack of confidence and resilience is apparent in most games. They give it a go, but when they face a setback, they lose any direction and cohesion and fall apart. Any of them with anything about them will be desperate to get away from what must be an awful environment. I fear that January will see a fire sale of anyone who can command a fee and those on higher wages plus any who can organise a move for themselves. They will be replaced by cheap fixture fulfillers and our owners, who know the game is up, will then take any of the money realised out that they can prior to ending the funding of the club after the outcome of the court case. After that, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
