Not convinced by Unsworth but glad for him that he picked up a win tonight. Win at Aldershot and we may be putting some semblance of a good run of form together. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've moved on pal, seems like there's many that can't. 10 points from 15 is already a semblance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trophy is clearly not as important as the league, but it was such a bad defeat that it caused an uproar from fans demanding Unsworth's sacking, so it definitely counts. 47 minutes ago, deyres42 said: I've moved on pal, seems like there's many that can't. you clearly haven't. 48 minutes ago, deyres42 said: 10 points from 15 is already a semblance. With two poor Trophy performances after the last two wins, it's patchy form at best. This happy-clapping mindset is what keeps our club in the such a bad place, the fanbase needs to raise our expectations of what "good" is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every competition should really be treated with importance, if only to maintain a winning mentality and the satisfaction of the fanbase. I thought the game was more frustrating than boring and really enjoyed watching Norman earn his wages by making two cracking saves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Made a rod for his own back with the interviews hasnt he. If we’d lost he would have had to face the camera. Because we won he couldn’t. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old codger Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Well now 4 4 2 and the long ball reaps dividends. Unsworth now with us for the rest of the season. Main stand moaners rather quiet. I suppose it is worth mentioning that recent the signings have improved the squad. Everton would love the run we are on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Martin Samuel's quote re Everton in The Times this morning: Everton's strategy is so inconsistent that if they queued for hours for a seat at the latest hot sushi bar they'd give up when they were two minutes from the front and nip off for a steak and kidney pie.

Boyyou Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Find this business of the interviews amusing. DU is called a shithouse by some numpty fans, responds with a bit of shithousery and is still called a shithouse. Can't win with some people.

Personally I think he's over thinking it a bit and I'm not really sure what point he's trying to make by sending Ebbrell out again, everyone knows he spat his dummy out and looked like a twat for fucking off post match against Gateshead, he doesn't have to drag it out any longer than necessary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a thread on Unsworth Dave. . there is another thread to celebrate Tuesday. I’m not overly arsed he stormed off, (still don’t think it’s great leadership) but shit happens. But just own it- and don’t gaslight the fans and make out it’s them overreacting when is was an issue of his own making. He’s compounded something fairly trivial, by making it more than it was. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which must mean you believe every word he says, the press are always made to wait- Despite this never happening before. People looking though the window and seeing his car had gone is perfectly normal. The shocked look on Ebrel’s face and inability to construct a coherent sentence when asked - where’s the gaffer, was because he was suppressing a fart. I’m also enjoying yourself and others commenting on it- and when challenged on your view, saying move on. I’ve got same thing to say on this thread. Really? I disagree. Whatever - move on. Great chat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
