I dare say sheridan with a backroom staff like unsworth has been allowed to assemble would be getting more positive results simply down to having the lower league know-how Real possibility of going down imo this was my fear, I’m really not sure DR has a record that gives us any confidence. I am still deeply concerned that Frank has indeed let his eccentricities and wonderfully positive character take him into something where he is completely out of his depth and out of his control. If it really is true that he has spent £13m on getting control of the club and the ground then we are truly fecked. I have always been outspoken about Blitz being the real problem and I maintain that stance…..he has destroyed the club and once again managed to find a well meaning eccentric to part with far too much money and ruin any chance of progress I really don’t think this will end well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 1 hour ago, yarddog73 said: Ultra defensive, not get beat at all costs, one up front, still no midfield, one goal in about 3 months away, tactically out thought again, oppo manager spends 15 minutes with his players they come out and score 2 in 3 minutes, Unsworth bores fuck out of ours and they come out half asleep, most dangerous forward we have starts on the bench, two weeks on the training pitch - really?. Absolutely not acceptable on any level, we don't even have a go anymore it's thoroughly depressing watching us roll over against team struggling to get 1000 home fans, Unsworth is a bullshitter of the highest order, called it from day one as he has no self awareness that most of our problems lie with him, League 1 budget and still can't get a tune out of one of the biggest squads outside the Championship, not surprised the fans are chanting for Shez because the decision to appoint this chancer supersedes anything anyones done previously and I count the likes of Darren Kelly and David Dunn in that, absolutely pathetic performances we are witnessing here and nothing is changing we just get worse. Wonder who he'll blame this week then?, looking like another relegation to me as it's difficult to see when we win next given his run of games have been largely against teams in and around us. Hopefully he does the decent thing and resigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 What a shocking second half No pace, no urgency, no effort, no skill, no idea - we were simply atrocious. I am totally baffled by the performance… the whole team looked lethargic and lacking in both ideas and confidence. Whatever Unsworth is doing, it simply ain’t working!

True Tic Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 The reality is that from taking over us in reasonably safe position after shez, he and his coaching team have managed to drop us in trouble whilst getting the backing of the board and seemingly being given money too.

Midsblue Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 This 4-3-3 isn’t working and whilst us fans aren’t as qualified as DU, anyone can see it! Playing Hope & Tollitt wide in the front 3, isolated Reid. Reid needs a strike partner - a target man who gets the ball & lays off to Reid - he’s said it & his goal scoring Stockport was alongside Bennett. Maynard isn’t a midfielder. He can’t pass, has no vision & when he came on, we lost any forward focus in midfield and sat back despite losing 2-1. Should have played Rooney like we did towards the end. When defending a corner, why do we now don’t leave one of our players near centre spot. We had no players when the ball broke and it soon came back. We desperately need a creative midfielder and revert to 4-4-2 to give us width and stretch the opposition whilst giving us two up front in the middle. Need a RB. Their #2 looked a promising RB who defended well and gave an attacking outlet on the right pushing Kitching back and we struggled to contain them on the right On the pitch needs sorting. Off the pitch has improved dramatically. We stayed at the Village hotel last night and the team stayed there too. Last season we would have driven down and back up same day so there’s no excuses that they weren’t rested ahead of game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m kind of “middle aged” I’ll leave it at that . I meant Unsworth took over as manager with us in a reasonable position in the table. We are now in the shite. He’s been allowed to bring in his players albeit bit by bit but the worst thing is we are still worse than when Shez left regardless of who is brought in. I feel for him because I was hoping for good things but it’s not happening. 1 league victory in 11 or about that is appalling.

How long can he keep hanging on? Yet again we are left chasing 2 goals after another 2 soft goals cheaply given away. Good fightback in the last few minutes and should have done better with a free header right at the end. These players can play but we need 90 minutes not 15.

wiseowl Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Several on here were getting positively giddy after our incredible and exciting 0-0 draw away at the mighty Maidstone. 2 week break, new players in, time to work with his chosen team and formation; today was our pivotal moment and an away win was all but assured. Some on here, however, have been saying it for a while; sadly David Unsworth is not a good manager. No pleasure in saying it; we just want Latics to succeed. It's pointless having "stability" simply for stability's sake. You only had to read what was said about DU at Everton to get initially nervous. You then only have to witness the appalling displays to confirm that what was said was true. He's a dinosaur apparently; isn't that what we were supposed to be getting rid of in John Sheridan? What we all know (but some refuse to accept) is that, with the backing and money DU has had, JS would have got far better results. It's a mess (again) but this needs sorting. I don't think we'll go down (even under DU) but, nonetheless, he is NOT the man to take us forward. Frank - do the right thing please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
