That said, 6th in the league and back-to-back clean sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Upto 6th in the table sound like we stole it but if you want promotion you have to go and steal wins particularly away from home. I reckon we still need to see an improvement and Mellon will be more than aware of that but in the meantime I will take seeing us dig out wins.

Gaz_Oafc Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 My IPTV had the Dorking commentary. At the final whistle they said they can see why we've now won 5 away on the bounce, cos we were very resilient. We're right near the top of the form table and we've won 5 away games in a row... But we didn't play like Brazil or some 1970's cloggers so I expect plenty of moaning. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Very happy to have those 3 points in the bag. Maybe this run of results will mean the MM doubters will have a couple of weeks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what he is there for, to prevent the ball going into the net as the last line of defence. How many times have Latics been on the end of a defeat to a team playing badly and a 'keeper playing out of his skin? I've seen it quite a few times in my many years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I imagine these "Leisure centres" are tricky places to go to. Small crowds, cramped environment and the potential to get shafted being very high. The Dorking commentators praising the resilience of Latics is a compliment of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think he knows that. He said we have irons in the fire and if they're anything like Stones we will be alright.I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP, you say "only the 'keeper" like it's a bad thing. Would you rather he didn't make the saves? He's as important a player as any other, maybe even more so. A striker scores goals, a 'keeper makes saves and I think ours is a huge asset. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyyou Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The only away win in our division today, our fifth away win in a row, our third win on the bounce, the second clean sheet, into the play-off spots, the chance that more players will shortly be joining, according to MM. What's not to like? Be nice to play better, but it's all about results 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 That was a tough watch. We couldn't string two passes together second half. Our team being 50% centre halves and great goalkeeping kept our clean sheet but we won't get away with playing like that very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll make the playoffs but this team without a few quality additions will not win them. That 2nd half was as bad as I’ve seen in recent times…awful!

McGahey was the step too far, the back 3 (or 5) is solid, Sheron has it in him to sit in and Lundstram, despite being poor in possession, has the energy to get around. A further sitting midfielder who was poor in possession put us under unnecessary pressure. I hope Ward or Hope takes his place next week against Hendon.
