MATCH: vs Woking (A) 13/09/22

[AnthonyOAFC]

The squad is shite and the manager is shite.

[doctor evil]

Fondop scores, offside flag goes up....

Do clubs in the National League North have ISDN lines ?.

Asking for an old friend ….

I certainly wouldn’t want a microphone shoved in my face after yet another shit show…..

He will be embarrassed and surely has nothing more to add, I will be amazed if he’s still here on Saturday!

see Barrow winning again

Big Dunc turned down Dundee United last week. Somehow I think we have a better chance of getting Sarah Fergusson.

Stranger things have happened especially with the Royle's involved now.

[Flemboy]

I've supported Shez for all he has done in the past but I feel I can no longer rely on sentiments any more.

We are being run wragged each game .Time now to bow out gracefully.

Certainly still a legend in my eyes, but feel it's time to go.

I think some on here including myself expressed concern at the quality of these footballers in preseason but were mocked. Well we’re stuck with these players but something has to change…..

[deckyd]

Only seen one game this season, Dorking, as it was on BT, thought we didn't play well at all but won anyway.  Reading what's being said on here and listening to the opposition commentary, doesn't seem we have got any better since, if anything worse! 

 

Massive Shez fan but season so far reminds me when he was replaced by Wellens.  Lost so many in a row, played 3 at back, over run in midfield a lot of the games, stubborn etc etc..... we need a change now, lots of games left and a change of philosophy may do wonders....who knows!  Can anyone remember the last time we actually played well for 90 minutes even a half!

 

I've booked plane tickets to come and watch Scunthorpe game which seems like a very wise decision, Considering our recent Tuesday record which has gone to the dogs and the state of performances currently!!!!!

We'll go for a 0-0, when we concede after 14 minutes Shez won't have a clue what to do, we probably won't have a shot on target and lose by two or three. 

Yep........

[Ritchierich]

That was truly one of the most depressing evenings of football I have watched

 

The complete lack of ability, tactics, passion or anything vaguely connected with good football was extraordinary

 

Anyone suggesting we should give Shez more time is delusional and anyone who thinks this squad of losers can challenge for the playoffs needs sectioning!

 

If, and we soon will be, we find ourselves in a relegation fight there is not a chance that this spineless lot will get us out if it

I spoke along with you and was lambasted.  I saw the preparations were totally inadequate and that carried on into the season.

Even with every player fit it wouldn't make the slightest difference under this management  IMO.

The squad is by no means great but it’s ok. We have enough to be mid table/top half- under the right management. . .

I really don’t think that is true

Easy to understand your view- because we look lost, play odd formations, and have no tactical awareness or clear guidance. They’re countless examples in sport where ‘no hope’ teams suddenly look a different side under good leadership.

Was a very strange game tonight. We were on top until appalling defending led to their first. The second was even worse - free header with zero marking. Had Fondop's strike that hit the bar gone in it could have been very different. Again in the second half had a great 15 minute spell before they killed the game off with another appalling goal to concede, I actually think there is something to work with with the current set of players but its obvious there is zero organisation or game plan. We seemed to line up 5-4-1 then quickly revert to 4-4-2 with Sheron playing right back. Really not sure what the plan was with Stobbs and Tollitt on the wrong sides to their natural feet either. Finally McGahey's weight is an utter disgrace for a professional footballer.

[Lee Sinnott]

A decent manager and coach will get this lot in and around the playoffs. The division is absolutely crap apart from 3 or 4 sides. Don't know if Fervid is ITK or what but if he's right about Darren Ferguson, then we might as well book our hotel rooms for the playoff final now...

There were signs tonight. Defence just needs organising. Hogan a massive miss.

All if buts and maybes, but their totally devoid of ideas and certainly not playing for the manager. 
 

Therefore time for Shez to stand aside and enjoy his retirement to a villa in Spain.

Nope just something I heard on the grapevine. 

[Ritchierich]

Thought I’d mark the players out of 10…..

 

Norman; None of the goals were his fault but he has mastered the art of overhitting pointless kicks out of play on both side of the pitch….still, congratulations to Magnus..tonight’s MOM with a superb 4/10

 

Okagbue; ..been trying to work out if his name is an anagram of “er, ok, bye!” It isn’t but we should say ‘bye 1/10

 

McGahey; Looks like a pub player, plays like a pub player but not good enough to get a start in most pub teams so has dropped down to our level 1/10

 

Sheron; Captain not so fantastic, had his defensive line and midfield perfectly drilled in the new Oldham Athletic “sieve” formation 2/10 

 

Wellens; I assume he was adopted because there is no Wellens DNA in there…either that or it has skipped a generation and we should sign his unborn Son 2/10

 

Threlkeld; Looks like a Viking plays like a ….nah, nothing rhymes. He’s just not very good 2/10

 

Stobbs; I felt our fans may have been a tad unfair on him so decided to really watch him during tonight’s match….had to stop though after 15 mins because it was hurting my eyes. 1/10 (should probably be 0 but I gave him one of Fondop’)

 

Roberts; Managed to help create the largest gap between our defence and midfield and our forward line (or Fondop’ head as we call our forward line) 2/10

 

Cooper; I can’t really think of anything to say about him tbh other than the above 2/10

 

Fondop; He is the focal point of all our attacks…well, to the extent that we lump the ball up to him and he flicks it on for Owen Doyle to run in behind and finish…it’s a genius plan, lacking only one thing….Owen Doyle 2/10 (would have got 3 marks for effort but I docked him 1 for nearly getting sent off at the end…he should have been but the Ref was feeling sorry for us)

 

Tollit; He looked lively at Torquay when I first saw him but is so lightweight that he makes DKD look like Sean Gregan 2/10

 

Subs

McGlynn; Almost the dream start, first touch he glides past two defenders and storms forward with only the keeper to beat and the Woking defenders desperately pursuing him, he ignores the Latics player to his right and calmly scuffs the ball at snails pace ten yards wide of the post….after that he fitted in perfectly and did almost nothing…he’s probably checking what day he goes back to Burnley, not long Joe, don’t worry lad. 1/10 that initial touch was worth the 1

 

Clarke; Came on to steady the ship after McGahey was hauled off for giving away the 3rd goal. With Clarke on we looked rock solid at the back…….nah, only kidding, it was worse of-course 1/10

 

Burgess; Not sure if he touched the ball but then again he was only on the pitch for 20 mins 2/10

 

Sheridan; People suggesting he should retire…I think he already has without telling anyone officially 0/10

 

Fans; We went to a league game on a wet Tuesday night in fucking Woking and got battered. Beautifully observed the 1 minutes silence for the Queen and then impressively maintained it for the remaining 90 minutes!
