Purely for the reason that he confidently stuck up for himself and his players. Confidently telling the fans we won't go up automatically. Great stuff.

Flemboy Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Overall a well deserved point but so nearly a loss again. Just glad we have Norwood in our team.Looked more like scoring after Nuttall went off.Wish Reid could get a game start instead. Great away support but the invasion will have consequences and I feel for Frank Rothwell . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called managing expectations (entitlement!). Start blowing your own trumpet you galvanise the opposition. When we have Green, Lundstram, Ward available and Freeman, Dickenson, Norwood up to speed, I honestly don't think we will be a million miles off, despite the slow start.

yarddog73 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) People talking like this was a gameplan expertly worked out by the tactical genius that is Mike Bassett.... I mean David Unsworth, it will be the same at Boring Wood next week, if you are going to start with a 4-3-3 at least have a go, asking players like Nuttall and Willoughby to play as wide men in a defensive 4-5-1 is just embarrassing, bit like playing with 9 or 10 men sitting in like that, what I dont get is when we played a higher press they looked shaky as fuck at the back but we did it just 2 or 3 times throughout the game, still no clean sheet after four attempts and the world beaters Southend turned over at home by Hartlepool who I'm presuming didn't go there for a 0-0 and play 8 at the back. This league is dogshit yet Dale and Hartlepool are both above us despite us being told teams who come down struggle like fuck to adjust. On a positive it's another point for the winning machine and at the current rate 46 should see us safe for another season whilst we allow Chesterfield to piss the league and have another go with Unsworth at the wheel next season.

He can't do it all on his own but I'd rather have Norwood in the team than Grigg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlemoor Lad Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I don't know about you but I'm extremely happy with today's point and with a striker that has what it takes to change the outcome of game's like this one. Norwood could prove to be the difference in so many of our fixtures and he certainly knows what's needed if that interview is anything to go by. On to Boreham and I think we'll be buoyed by this result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Chesterfield fans will be as gutted as we are delighted, our slice of fortune being their misfortune. The set-up and style will not change at Boreham, he says as much in the interview only, he needs to be good on his word and play "expansive at home".

We draw 1-1 at the BOOKIES favourite for the League Arguably our two best midfielders are out injured Shamefully, Frank had to put up with fan anger, the wonderful man who saved our club HATE for the Manager pouring out from the stands and all over Social Media An extract from a post from a Chesterfield supporter: "Thought Oldham looked okay and really well organised at the back and basically stopped us playing most of the game. Although we had most of the possession we didn't really create that many clear chances so a draw was a fair result in the end You finger how many of our fans are proper knobheads till incidents like today. 2 hours ago, Ritchierich said: Just seen the goal and I have to say Norwood is massively out of order and partly responsible for the chaos there. He has 1400 Latics fans right in front of him but elects to run over to the Chesterfield fans and take the piss! If he had just run in to our end and celebrated with our fans it would (probably) have stayed there with only a few on the pitch around him Proper dickhead behaviour tbh Striker winds up fans after 96th minute equaliser.

Actually thought he worked hard for the team, although Green's extra pace would have been useful today. Over a long, hard season the squad depth will be vital and I think Willoughby will play his part, whether from the start or the bench.

If not, stay in shape. The return of Ward, Lundstrum and Green can't come soon enough, even then, there ain't no guarantees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
