Be great if you could give Unsworth some credit when it's due BP and start to get behind him a bit more. Tip for you.....if your still doing a bit of scouting for the club, maybe don't criticise the manager at every opportunity on a message board I'm sure he is aware of...you may get a better response If he's aware of me he's never been in touch and if he did I'd tell him I'd never recommend players he's signed like Chapman, Shelton and Nuttall and his team formations are dysfunctional. As I've mentioned I know the 2 lads at Manchester City were available and I sent in glowing reports, but no response. Albeit the Head of Recruitment has not been well, but it seems to me DU doesn't listen to others readily and in a cocoon with his two coaches. Another one I'd be signing next season is Brunt we saw play for Boreham Wood today. We signed Peck though on loan from the same club instead. TBH I get the impression I'm wasting my time with this manager. Edited March 4, 2023 by BP1960 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many City players have been loaded to non league in recent times but would imagine it is a pretty short list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have told you before both were available on loan at the time to us and that's why I was sent on a scouting mission to give my opinion - which was both are far better than we have signed. If they aren't acted upon its down the powers that be. They certainly won't be available to any club at this level next season I can assure you of that. The may of course not be what the manager wants and that's his prerogative. Maybe if you spent your time suggesting better players instead if knocking others it would shed some light on your prowess.

Flemboy Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Another post match interview with Unsworth not blaming himself for anything and simply saying it was one of those games and then smiling.At least he didn't say it was a nil niller. This team performs in fits and starts but with the money invested and players in the large squad we should be getting far better fayre.Woking will be a tough game for sure 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woking will be a tough game for sure I’m not asking him to blame himself, just to be honest about what we all see on the pitch. Either he genuinely does not see how mind numbingly ineffective our second half display was or he is being disingenuous and taking us fans for fools Call it like it is David - you’d get far more respect if you did. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I could name a dozen Latics fans who'd be willing to do a free taxi service for him there and back every day for the first six months, if that's any kind of deal breaker.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
