nzlatic Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I said a while ago with this squad we didn’t need wholesale changes, we needed to play 3 at the back and we needed to sign a proper attacking right full/wing back and a creative centre midfielder. After watching that today I still think exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just delusional. Sheron had a good half a game of football last week. Back to being over run by Callum Fucking Whelan this week, so well done for supporting him. The other two were just as shit. But McGahey is a centre back. Yes but come on, this comment wasn’t your finest: “You must be annoyed Norwood scored and waved his arms a bit today.” Seriously? To a fellow Latic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s your point, caller? Did anybody actually say any of that? Or do you just take some perverse delight in trying to wind people up when we lose? Your posts can be as desperate as they are fake.

After watching that today I still think exactly the same. I know what you mean, and I agree to an extent but two players aren’t going to change the fact we start games appallingly, and it isn’t one or two- it’s every single one of them. We look lethargic and passive, we sit off and literally watch them play in front of us. It’s dreadful. Some games we pick up and grow into it, some games- like today it’s largely flat as fuck for the whole ninety minutes. That isn’t about picking apart individuals, it’s asking why is the collective mindset so poor and inconsistent. They’ve proved they can perform, but one game on one game off is nowhere near good enough to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s piss poor. 3 months since a home win (not counting pens v Mickleover). I’ve been to 11 home games this season and seen us win 1.

If just looking at how we do when Gardner plays our PPG is even higher (but we’d still be 4th). My point is that we can do better than both Gardner and Freeman. If we were to make signings in those positions I think it would make a huge difference to the level of control we have in games. Imagine having a midfielder who can dictate play and pop up to score goals in the box. Imagine having a right wingback who overlaps and is someone a defence has to be concerned about. They couldn’t triple up on Kitching and a rwb too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying that two players won’t make the difference when we’re having an off day- because every single player looks miles off it. That’s a collective mentality that we can’t seem to get past at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But instead we've signed Langley and Stones... arguably the two positions we least need to strengthen in (centre-half excepted, perhaps).

I don’t think it’s as wholesale as others do though. I don’t believe that the teams above us have squads full of the mentally stronger. I think with a more settled and balanced team the bulk of this squad are capable of getting us top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something wrong with a team when they throw in Jekyll and Hyde performances, what are we doing pre match at home because something clearly needs to change. No urgency and I've not seen a decent first 30 at home from us all season. Mellon going on about fucking defending at home to Gateshead yet keeps picking the same donkies every week and I include Hudson in that.

We definitely need at least 3 or 4 players. Especially in midfield We're still only 3 points off the playoff places, somehow. But this current lot aren't capable of the consistency needed to get up there and stay there. No manager could get consistent results with a midfield as piss weak as ours Edited December 23, 2023 by Guy Branston Pickle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
