oafc1955 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I’m still in the Unsworth in camp but the way in which the team are playing is difficult to defend. 5 of his signings started today but it made no difference to the shape of the team. It may have been 442 or even 433 but we continue to invite the opposition into our half and give them the freedom of the middle third. He says he’s not asking them to play that way but we are 17 games into the season and they are still doing it! We are still hoofing the ball up to Abraham or Fondop and absolutely nothing has changed! It would be OK if there was a little improvement week on week but there isn’t any, absolutely none at all!! We are now in the relegation places and make no mistake, we deserve to be there. I honestly can’t see where a win is coming from and it’s a massive worry!

It's not the football I fell in love with as a kid and he can stick it. Defenders always make for negative managers, think Gareth Southgate. World Cup semi and euros final. Give over haha.

BP1960 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 19 minutes ago, Lukers1 said: I’m still in the Unsworth in camp as he is a rookie at this level and it’s showing. Currently, he needs an experienced head next to him who knows this league. Micky Mellon would have been a good addition but he’s back at Tranmere. Jim Gannon got Stockport out of the National League North and would be useful. We are in trouble, I can’t work out how we set up but this formation isn’t working. Set up awful, sitting deep, no closing down, poor distribution, Sheron at right back, Maynard in midfield, Abrahams on his own up front. Add what he said was a future Premier league player who looked slow and totally lost, a couple of centre backs done for pace and you have an idea why it didn't work. Shez used to say he wanted at least 7 out of 10 from his players, you'd be lucky to get 5 out of 10 from any of this squad. Although he may not be perfect Burgess scored 2 in midweek for the B team yet didn't even make the bench today, so much for picking the players in form and building their confidence. To sum up...a complete shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's more important than the backroom staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been given the backroom staff to do the job he's been backed with signings. It's now on him now he's got to deliver. Barnets squad list on the back of the programme today said they have 12 players less in their squad than we do and they played mid-week. Yet they out performed us and outworked us that's not good enough. We need some improvement doesn't have to be promotion form just an improvement will do but it's upto the manager (and the players aswell they need to take responsibility too) to start bringing in some results.

Unsworth already has a coaching staff, that was backed by the board to assemble at a significant cost- and you think he’s going to move them aside for someone who ‘knows the league’ Hope this clears it up for you.

Lags Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 DU has to get these players up the park and pressing division 5 teams in their half. Or he's finished. Teams are coming to BP and on their own patch having the freedom of the pitch. Within 10 minutes of every match the opposition have their confidence through the roof knowing they are on the front foot and have the measure of us. Get up the fucking pitch!!!! The world and it's dog are telling you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I was absolutely over the moon with the takeover and ended my lengthy attendance boycott immediately it was announced. I`ve watched football for a long time and it's clear Unsworth is not up to managing. I accept Shez was not for the medium/long term but we have subsequently appointed the wrong man for the job. Mr Rothwell, nobody likes a manager merry-go-round but you're going to have to ruffle a few feathers and dispense with Unsworth ASAP. Peter Clarke's here now - negotiate with him/his club and let him cut his teeth in management. Unsworth is a disaster and it's so plain to see. We need action sooner rather than later, otherwise the unthinkable may become reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyOAFC Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It's amazing how many teams come to BP and quickly realise they can quite happily keep possession without any pressure. It also doesn't take them long to realise they can take a few steps forward and enter our half with absolute ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyp65 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I don't like berating the manager as the players in the club are terrible but with ten minutes to go and1-0 down we take Abrahams off and leave a clearly hobbling Fondop on and hoof the ball up to him .This is unforgivable. A couple of seasons ago York City kept saying we are too good to go down and did nothing to halt the slide .A couple of seasons in the national league north followed .We are in for a culture shock next season going to places like Farsley Celtic and Bradford park avenue.
