A good work out today though. I’ve no idea how good Curzon are but it’s another game in the payers legs and they’re looking sharper, which is all pre season is about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Tic Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Good sharp first half, really like the look of Ward and Lundstram. Energy there between them. Fondop put himself about . Nuttall waits far too long to let go of a shot. We should have scored a fair few more but over happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldham_till_i_die Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 @Monty Burns ’The main man’ Nuttall came on, missed a 2 yard header, put a ball on the moon and prevented us from scoring more goals. Mike fondop is our 20+ goals a season man with Kurt, Reidy & green chipping in often. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpotTheBall85 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Got to be fondop with either Reid or Willoughby at the start of the season. Nuttall way off the pace. Hopefully get a right back before the season starts and then it's the headache of Raglan, Hogan & Hobson for the 2 centre back spots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millibob Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Hope was OK - he just need more time on the pitch. For me Nuttall didn't appear to be interested and was quite happy to amble around the park. (personal opinion Monty - like you I have been wrong in the past and I admit my mistakes!). Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone performed at a minimum of 7/10 and there was consistent quality throughout the squad. Nuttall was subbed on at half time and performed at about a 4 (arguably generous). Slowed us down and missed clear cut chances. Edited July 22, 2023 by Oldham_till_i_die 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Sutton, Couto did okay of the subs, rest did little. Fondop has to start for me and you can't play him and Nuttall together as we are too easy to play against with them two up there, only when Willoughby come on did we give Curzon something to think about, you can see Unsworth on the bench willing Nuttall to do something but he's a donk and doesn't have it him in. He's going to have to swallow his pride with him and for the good of the team admit he got it wrong. He's right down the pecking order for me and doesn't look like he's got a goal in him. Hobson did okay but he looks lost out on the touchline, he wasn't tested defensively today at all but he does look comfortable on the ball, still think he is our best centre half and hope we ain't going to ruin the lad playing him out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuttall and Unsworth are the 2 people that will hold us back, that's just my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) 2 games 2 wins and 8 goals it's been a good week. We are nicely building upto the season. Nice combination play between Reid and Fondop for the 2nd goal too Things are looking good. Even if a section of our fanbase is suffering from Cherophobia.

hollandspies Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 My take on things so far having watched the first four friendlies…. Up top, any 2 of Fondop, Reid and Willoughby to start. Whoever misses out is on the bench, with 3 other outfield players covering the other positions. Nuttall to eventually provide cover for injuries and / or loss of form but for now, he doesn’t make the match day squad. We are more than adequately covered elsewhere, just a nagging doubt over whether we need a specialist right back who will also be effective going forward. We currently have a competitive squad of 20/21 - so quality over quantity is the right way way to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
