oafc1955 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 We should be safe now but God we’ve tried so very hard to blow it! Two totally unexpected wins at Chesterfield & Barnet are the results that will probably have saved our skins. In my opinion we have been extremely fortunate to have avoided the drop and looking at the remaining fixtures I’m glad we don’t need a few more points!! In a proper dogfight like last season this side would have been nowhere near good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helped by the ref with the silly free kicks all the time but still not defending set pieces properly. According to Unsworth pre Wrexham were top of the league at defending set pieces didn’t you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev1970 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 That was just typical Unsworth to defend a 2.0 against 10 men.Why oh why do you bring the striker back for the corner keep on half way and the first goal does not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Bossed them for 80 mins. A good positive performance. their first shot , Magnus a bit slow, and it’s 2-1. But we didn’t sit back - lazy to jump to that conclusion. Their second goal from a corner l looked like poor marking but ther forwards had had nothing all afternoon Reid was never going to last 90 mins but looked sharp, and good game from Nuttall till he picked up a knock I know it won’t suit the narrative of some people but that wasn’t bad today by any stretch of the imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about bloody Altrincham here. An absolute nothing of a team - and yet they have taken 4 points off "Unsworth teams" this season; with our performance at their place being an absolute disgrace. Today, we throw away a 2 goal lead with minutes to go. Shocking and just another illustration of Unsworth being a poor manager. I cannot understand anyone backing him anymore in the face of substantial evidence that he's just not what is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 One for the statto’s. How many times have we dropped points from winning positions this season ? Today feels like a lot of games where we have been winning and thrown points away- but I’m not sure If that is backed up by the stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayfield Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Altrincham away was the worst Latics performance I had ever witnessed to date (since 1980). Today was significantly better, I quite enjoyed the afternoon till the last ten minutes, then we frustratingly reverted to type. Devarn Green was lively and effective in the first half, we didn't have any creativity on the left. The forward line worked hard today, Joe Nuttall seems more relaxed and confident, while Alex Reid is clearly our best striker, promising goals if he gets decent service. The manager picked our strongest eleven, of the players available in my opinion, I was pleased to see Magnus Norman back in and Ben Tollitt at least on the bench. Failure to take three points is fuelling the Twitter tirade against the manager but the players need to feel responsible today. I believe David Unsworth will request replacements for six or seven positions, possibly more, testing the support and resolve of the board to sponsor his vision. One thing I did notice and would call out as progress is the communication between players, clearly more vocal and demanding of each other. Leave aside what they said and how effective it was ... this is something Shez found exasperating, no characters, no leaders. Seem to have a handful of players trying to take responsibility. Joe Nuttall was very animated and vocal, didn't seem arrogant, just pointing and challenging the midfield to find the right pass. Good to see, but I still left the ground frustrated, accepting that I need to endure this 'process' for a good while yet. Summer transfers in and out will do for David Unsworth, a poor start next season will bring almighty pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought the terribly rusty Hope on (albeit after they'd pulled it back to 2-1). Though Tollitt might have been the better option, as Nuttall was struggling with cramp.

LightDN123 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Embarrassing yet again. Nuttall haters out. Unsworth can’t manage. Another day as an Oldham fan. Enjoyed the game up until the 80th minute. They had two shots all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
