Lee Sinnott Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Best player so far? Probably Ben Tollitt Biggest disappointment so far? The long drive home from Bromley after being bummed 3-0.

TheBigDog Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Best player so far? It speaks volumes about the general poor individual performances that there is only in player in contention - Ben Tollit Biggest disappointment so far? Looking second best in the majority of games - constantly outplayed by some average teams. Which formation works best for us? With the current squad 4-3-3 I reckon. How many players will be at the club before the last game of the season? Nah. Where will we finish? Top half Will Unsworth still be in charge in the summer? Probably.

JoeP Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Tolitt, possibly Norman but it's a low bar. Hope we can hang on to Timmy, because I think he has the potential to offer a lot and become a fans favourite. Unsworth. We've yet to discover it, but it definitely isn't one up front. More than the club would like. Lower mid-table, hopefully.. I fear so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Best player so far? Seems we are all in agreement Tollit has been our best performer credit to him he's been good in a struggling team and with better players around him hopefully those performances will continue. Biggest disappointment so far? Mmmm playerswise you could probably say we could have expected more from Dan Gardner but he's been injured. Results have been dissapointing but this was the transitional season we've done this debate right? Which formation works best for us? Think 4-3-3 is being muted as the preferred choice. But even at this level you have to play multiple formations successfully to get out of it Plan A,B,C etc. Alot of people seem to want 4-4-2 or 2 upfront. Where I think this is an option it's not the silver bullet that some people think it is. How many players will be at the club before the last game of the season? Over 30 we will get rid of a few but getting players out the door when they are under contract isn't always easy, players will have families and bills to pay but at the same time I don't think any want to rot away kicking their heels on a saturday. Expect to see a few go out on loan. Ideally you want to start next season with a good group of players between about 22-25 in number. Where will we finish? 14th results will get better its inevitable. Will Unsworth still be in charge in the summer? Yes he will ride out this storm pressure will ease on him as results pick up. Those calling for his head now many will maintain doubts, but what they really want is wins for Oldham Athletic so as they come their views on Unsworth will soften. It doesn't make them fickle.

wiseowl Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 20 hours ago, League one forever said: Biggest disappointment so far? Let's be brutally honest. When DU was appointed and there was all the hullabaloo about the quality of the backroom staff, the experience on the board etc. did anyone expect us to be in the league position we now find ourselves in? Certainly not me - the generally dire performances on the pitch have surprised (and worried) me. So, without a doubt, biggest disappointment has to be DU. For some bizarre reason, he gets an easy ride from a lot of people. Witness, for example, the optimism after the brilliant 0-0 draw at Maidstone. Long break followed for DU to gather the troops and gel new players - and then we get beat by Solihull Moors and Boreham Wood. If Shez had been in charge, some would have wanted him hung, drawn and quartered in Royton precinct after those losses. I do not think he's the man for the job and will hold us back for a long time if we allow him to continue long-term. We won't be relegated this season because he's being backed with lots of cash. A genuinely good manager, with the same financial backing, would have us shooting up the table and have us in the play-offs before the end of the season. Unsworth won't - because he's proving to be a poor manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom of all of this is likely to come at some point during those 2 games with Notts County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel latic Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Best player so far? Ben Tollitt for me too, a bright spark in the gloom. Positive, driving runs and not afraid to shoot. Well deserved contract extension. Honourable mention for Mikey Fondop. Biggest disappointment so far? Bromley was awful but has to be Unsworth for me. I couldn't believe how bad we were in his first game in charge (Bromley) and playing Junior up front on his own against a massive, experienced back line was doomed to fail. The negativity he showed towards the squad he Inherited was disrespectful and showed a major misunderstanding of human motivation. I expected our players to improve when he became manager but some got worse. Things have improved and perhaps with his own squad he can show more positivity and build on the Torquay result. Which formation works best for us? I don't mind his 4-2-3-1 but would like to see 4-4-2 and we have to do something different away from home. How many players will be at the club before the last game of the season? Don't know. Where will we finish? 14th. Will Unsworth still be in charge in the summer? Probably. But if we lose to Peterborough Sports and get embarrassed by Notts County, for me it would be time to pull yhe plug despite the obvious investment.

League one forever Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 What staggers me in replies so far, is the ease in which people think we’ll be fine with final league position. (Some even saying top half) I’d say the average so far is about lower mid table- let’s say 12-16th for argument sake. To even do that we have to have a massive upturn in results. IE win at least double the games we have. Even then - that only gives us another 24 points- putting us on 44. You then hope we draw a few. Giving us close to 50 points. . . Gulp. My point is- even if we click, (which is massively debatable under Unsy) and we start winning more, it’s still going to take a big effort just to stay up. I’d take 5th bottom right now.
