rudemedic Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 1 hour ago, Londonboy said: Totally different scenario. If the players can come over for a quick acknowledgment then so can Unsworth. He'd be over if we'd won no doubt ... Take it you enjoyed yesterday.? I didn't. We were crap! Again! No it is not a different scenario. Fans cannot be on his back and then demand he comes over and clap them. Life doesn't work like that. If we had won yesterday I doubt the fans would have been on his back as much. So he may well have come over. I thought we were professional yesterday against a side well fancied to do well this season having done well last season. I think the last Oldham I enjoyed was the 5-1 win at Dorking, or the 3-2 wins against Eastleigh and Dorking last season. I don't expect to enjoy Oldham games, but I do expect to see reasoning in the tactics and the like. I saw that yesterday. You can sometimes have both, but I'd rather have the second one if it's a choice of one or the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood has 3 in 5 which is pretty fair return considering we have no midfield, think Haaland missed a penalty today, I presume he's shit in your book.

Despite the video being shot in stop-motion, it makes a mockery of Unsworth's appraisal of the Boreham chances. Commentator quite good, though.

Monty type anecdote warning. when l was about four l was on a bus and somebody threw up. my gran explained it away as 'travel sickness'. in those days we werent allowed to ask questions (at least not in public) and l could never find answers to my questions and decided it was made up until an 'experiment' when l was about five made me understand the practicalities (but not the theory) of it. l was twelve when l grasped the theory (big school had a library) not long afterwards l understood adults tell white lies to kids (the guy was an unkempt piss can) and it was also around this age l realised not all kids underwent such regular official themed tests and experiment type things as children. still, loadsa kids got bummed so at least l got away from that stuff Edited August 27, 2023 by Monty Burns grammar. which is ironic really bc its littered. but.

Playing for a 0-0 isn’t popular but it can be effective. I saw us with a game plan yesterday and we did the job that game plan had in mind, just because you think it is wrong doesn’t mean it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I was upbeat yesterday when walking out. Which is different to how I would have felt in previous seasons. The reason being I’m now looking at results in the context of a promotion season. So a point in those circumstances is a good one as far as I’m concerned. When the result of the game had little or no impact on the season (which is most games I’ve seen over the last 20 years) I was more bothered about the win or the quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah indeed and I think winning 5-1 at home was presumably very entertaining. I'd rather play for a 0-0 draw away against 2 decent sides at this level and be bored silly. Than be entertaining and lose 5-4. I don't expect us to play for a 0-0 every game away either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the 5-1, holidays take a preference, I am hoping that Solihull will be a true test of where we are, Gateshead away is just my excuse to have a good time in the Toon.
