He might have "changed football" at the highest level, but people (not just our fans) watch his team on sky play all the tippy tappy bollocks and expect lower league plodders to be able to do it. I wouldn't disagree with that. Certainly, the sometimes endless sideways/backwards passing indulged in by 100+ charges of FFP regulation breaches Citeh can be mind numbingly boring to watch.

Nah, I don't think that's right. I want us to run at teams, boss midfield and create loads of chances. I don't want to see the opposition knock it round us, while we wait (and wait and wait..) for an opportunity to break. In recent-ish history, I want to see us playing like LJ had us set-up or Wellens (pre-Abdallah nonsense) or Shez (pre-Abdallah nonsense)...

Bristol Rovers did it in one year, as did Grimsby, and it only took Orient two. I think that’s the option we should go for. We need to get the fuck out of this league as soon as possible before we get bogged down it, cos that’s what we do 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summerdeep Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 It's clearly a lot more difficult these days, that's for sure. When automatic relegation from the old 4th Division replaced the re-election system in the late 1980s, it was initially quite common for relegated teams to go straight back up in one season. I'm fairly sure that Lincoln City, Colchester United and Darlington did so in that era, and maybe one or two others as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should start almost exactly as he does it Slight slap. Not a punch. Silly though. If you're going to get sent off you may as well drop him with a clean right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were backed with decent budgets over those periods but didn't go up. I'm just saying it's bloody hard and we have no right to assume just because we are Oldham, and have spent a few quid we will walk the league playing entertaining football....we won't! Wrexham Notts and Chesterfield were mile's better than us last season even though we got a couple of flukey results against them so we have a fair way to go in my humble opinion. I'd settle for a scrambled 6th place finish...playing solid football...and an extra time winner in the playoff final....just like Grimsby did What the hell do you think you are doing !!! You can talk that much sense in one post . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But passing the ball sideways and backwards over and over is still boring. It’s not just Citeh who do it to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
