Dave_Og Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I've been to one game this season, Ipswich. Within two minutes of kick off the song was 'How shit must you be, you haven't scored yet'. It's not booing the shirt but it's not resounding support. I thought it was amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Bolton vs Gillingham earlier in the season good match finished 2-2 Bolton played the ball out from the back their fans were disgruntled and were moaning about this including my friend sat next to me. I did reason with him here that they had Eoin Doyle up the middle against 2 CBs who were both 6"2 and would want to head it. If they went long the ball would just come back at them so they had to try abd pass their way through Gillingham which they did reasonably well and Boltons equaliser came from am attack which started out with them passing the ball out from the back and passing the ball through the 3rds. It's not just us in Lancashire who have a problem with this. I saw recently a story by Robbie him off Arsenal fan TV. Who had his lad down at Arsenals academy as you can imagine their the coaches are trying to teach them to pass the ball out from the back however over enthusiastic parents from the side were telling them to get rid of it. One of the coaches had to have a word with said parents to try and stop them from telling the kids to do that from the sidelines as they are trying teach them how to play out from the back under pressure. It's something that football fans will probably have to get used I think it should overall be encouraged overall. I mean if you are going to go long from Goal kicks with our forward line then you may aswell just kick it out for a throw in and have done with it because they won't win an aerial duel.

Agree with all that except for our lot can’t pass 2 yards any better than they can 100 yards and I’d rather we lost it in their half than our own 6 yard box - playing out of the back is fine if you can do it we can’t and the routine I witnessed on Sunday was embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor evil Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I have no problem with us playing (or at least trying) out from the back. I don't think we do it right though. Usually you see the 2 cbs split to each side of the box, the full backs are pushed high and wide and you have a cm drop deep. That gives you enough options if the opposition press high. We have a cb effectively stood next to the gk and the other on the edge of the box. It effectively cramps us for space and we either lose the ball or have to hoof it under pressure. I think the reason most get annoyed with it is they can see it puts us under pressure far too often at the back and this team doesn't cope with that particularly well.

south east latic Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 As above, no problem from me whatsoever with playing out from the back as a principle. But we have to have both the players and the know-how to do it and we have neither. Hence it doesn’t work and we just end up either losing the ball in our third or hoofing it anyway. If that makes me backwards then fair enough, I’d call it pragmatism. Of course, the major problem we have, and the main failing of our recruitment, is that there is no target to aim for upfront so whatever happens the ball doesn’t stick. This has to be number one priority in Jan if we are to have any chance whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 7 hours ago, GlossopLatic said: 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. Vaughan and Couto are as good if not better than most in Premiership Academy teams, so that's a good yardstick to go by. Bahamboula is a confidence player and what you see is what you get. At somewhere like Forest Green he'd be far more effective. Only seen him a couple of times, but Modi in the Latics youth team shows promise. You can't always predict with kids though as some with bags of talent can go off the rails. As for recommendations unfortunately there won't be much quality available, although if Missilou was anything like he was when last here then I'd take him. The striker at Whitby Jacob Hazel is still scoring plenty of goals, but it's a big gamble taking a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? Not a bad idea, I remember the tea lady at Droylsden taking over for the Manchester Senior cup and they won it. Mind you with the likes of Dale Stephens, Matt Smith, Danny Rowe, Sean Whalley and even Dan Gardner around they were a miles better team than this Latics outfit.

I can’t forgive a lack of effort and time wasting, in a match we had to win. fait point Worcester I have just never booed my shirt and walk at Away games before it starts Achieves nothing and I suspect it puts many players further in their shell Bad enough for them to be in a fight for survival without knowing if they put a foot wrong there is a pile in on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
