I think he's poor, but then again I'm not won over by Reid. I appreciate Reid may be finding his way back after injury and that the service he receives is crap, but I want to see him falling over a bit less and showing some more intent.

Sambou won headers and held it up well at times today. Never stopped. Won a penalty and scored. Sounds poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he lacks in ability he makes up for in effort .Any of our other forwards wouldn't have won that penalty because they wouldn't have chased the long ball .

Scunny fans must be devastated and it won't be easy for them to bounce back. Wrexham and County could both probably sail through League Two, as Stockport appear to be doing this season. It would be quite the turnaround, Stockport in league One and Latics in the NL. "It could be worse, at least we're not..."

phoenix blue and tangerine Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Just back. 2-0 looks good on paper but in reality very poor performance, even the happy clappy unsworth fans can surely see he is clueless. letting him recruit through the summer and giving him 10 games into next season is suicide in my opinion..

Sounds poor Sambou did well, he took his penalty well. Reid also did well, and put in a shift, with little service. Shelton is poor and not the midfielder we need, he spends a lot of time falling over and looking for a foul. Chapman, I don't see what he offers, I don't want him here next season. Rooney can only play with his right foot, as our playmaker, doesn't offer much, most of his dead ball kicks come to nothing and due to his inability to play with both feet, he can't switch from left to right and can be closed down easily. There are a few more in that team where an upgrade would be needed if we are to progress, Scuntorpe were poor and we weren't much better, even the commentators sounded bored.

LightDN123 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Sambou playing well is a reflection on how shit Scunthorpe are, he’s a terrible terrible footballer. I’m more worried Unsworth has given him this extended “trial” period. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thought Sambou did well. Shame he’s been written off already by many! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peak Latic Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Brief glimpses of basic footballing ability does not mean Sambou played well. The bar must be that low it's on the floor if we think Sambou played well. He should be nowhere near an Oldham side aiming for promotion next season.

Not sure how that's even up for debate. Whether he's going to be an improvement on what we have or be good enough to play regularly i agree is up for debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Whats Unsworth talking about regards threats at the game today, and that the police were spoken too etc, I haven’t heard anything. Did seem to be very excessive with number of police and stewards, like they were expecting something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably had more to do with the fact that the home team have been relegated in successive seasons and it's going to take at least as many to get back in the FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the only one that looks like a footballer that can control the ball in our team. Side note, Shelton was garbage again against Scunthorpe.

philwhite Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Scunthorpe were a very poor team and were there for the taking. IMO we played a lot better against Altrincham. Most of the football we’ve played this season has been shocking.Hopefully next season can only get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Shelton is obviously carrying a knock or two, he's better than he's showing and was brought back to help us secure our position in this League, I suspect one or two others have been turning out when normally they wouldn't, Shelton hasn't even trained for a week or two.

TheBigDog Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Yesterday was a nothing game for me. It was obviously good that we won but it was a very poor game with a dearth of quality on show. Scunthorpe’s performance showed why they have been relegated. Oldham’ performance showed why we need to bring in better players. I watched the game on NTV but cannot recall many chances created by either team - frankly speaking, it was an extremely boring contest punctuated with two or three decent moments that elevated the game above mediocre: The first goal - route one but a very good flick on by Reid and a tidy finish by Green. The second goal - a cool finish from the spot by Sambou. One very good save by Norman. And that’s about it. It played out very much like an end of season game. Only Yarney, Reid and Green stood out for me with a neat cameo from Clarke late on. Very few of the starting eleven last night should be starting next season - perhaps Norman, Yarney, Rooney, Green and Nuttall. Squad players: Hudson, Hogan, Kitching, Reid and Sutton. The summer and preseason rebuild is going to be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note, Shelton was garbage again against Scunthorpe. That's kinda my point. If he's our best player next season (which he could well be at the moment), we'll be nowhere near going up. Keep him in the side by all means, but we need better players than him to be successful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
