Can’t believe people were calling for Sutton. The lad is a nightmare, at fault for goals time and time again. At Rochdale Norwood had to go over and show him how to play there. Where is sandchev.

He is utter shite. I also think raglan is poor and don’t rate hobson. 
 

It’s a real mess

He did,but he's not been the worst player by far, Hope, Dallas and Norwood look like they aren't interested.

agree and this is the worst thing in footy, we stayed up in league 1 with a horrendous team that literally ran through walls for shez. The relegation season was when we had people on big money who couldn’t be arsed. I sense the same here, all good to have people like that to sprinkle the finishing touches but when u need them to dig in they aren’t worth having around. Been disappointed in norwoods attitude from what I can tell watching him

[Handsy]

Absolute shambles for the goal this lot on the beach already they don’t care. Nothing has changed under Mellon   He needs to get rid of the lot of these but then do we have faith he will get it right in the summer I’m beginning to doubt it

I am not having that 11 players of different combinations can all be so poor at the same time. They are not shit players. 
 

Teams reflect their manager. 

 

Give over.... they cross the line,  the  manager can't run or close down for them.  They are simply not good enough

[IanMarshall's Mullet]

It’s a crap game here. To say there’s a few of us there’s no atmosphere at all….

[nzlatic]

We have too many players on the pitch who do a better job of slowing down our play than they do contributing something quick or positive. It’s too easy to defend against. 
 

We don’t really have much in reserve either. Other than the call for Atherton who would we like to see on the pitch making chances?

We had characters didn’t we. This team are a bunch of pampered snow flakes. I really dislike Conlon and his hair 

[GKing521]

We have absolutely no width. Why is there no one available out wide on the right whenever we slowly start some sort of attacking movement?

Are they so bereft of intellect?

You’re very quick to dig him out whenever he plays, but he’s the only one who was bothered to try and close-down the opposition and show the slightest bit of quality on the ball.

Yes, very strange to keep singling him out.

Careful, his fanclub will be along any moment to tell you he's well above us and will be playing in the champions league in a couple of years.

Give over . . . a lot of them were coups at the time of signing. Or the fans were very pleased with their pedigree. 
 

Has every single player suddenly become shit since signing for Oldham?  
 

I think not.

‘They are not shit players’ is the best line I have heard all season. Yes they are.

Was the same at York. I know fans feed off the performance sometimes but the self-proclaimed best fans in the league status is starting to look like bollocks...

[Lags]

I've always said Sutton is limited. He'll have a career at the likes of Ashton United.  Not a chance championship that some believe. He's not consistent for this level.

They are incapable of doing the basics and unwilling to work hard. That makes them shit in my view. Performances tend to reflect my opinion on this point. 

[Gaz_Oafc]

There's not one single player in this squad that I'd be upset to lose in the summer.

I do think he needs the summer to try and rebuild again on his own terms . This squad as a whole haven’t got a playoff campaign in them anyway. No edge to them or bottle.

Was going to say I've not heard a peep from the away end on tv it sounds flat it's hard to blame them.

 

Their is no way the manager is telling them to play like that they have to take responsibility. Someone show us something a forward run a few tackles a shot. christ someone smash Chris Conn Clarke and get a booking he's making you look like a bunch of twats.

Probably, what I'm saying is the two can't work together. These players have effectively downed tools since Frank came back from rowing the Atlantic, not sure why but for me we need to rip it up and start again. 

 

It's been extremely disappointing that Mellon has seen us dropping out of the playoffs in such a limp manner and he should take some of the blame.

 

But it really looks a case of salvaging the small amount of players who have the right attitude to mount a proper promotion charge. 

 

Mellon and Brabin have previous in building promotion teams over the summer, I've not been impressed by what they've overseen but I'd trust them a lot more than the bulk of these players.

 They ????

 

2 maybe 3 would stand out at this level with a team around them that are this level of player. 

 

Explain to me why virtually ever game we are out played and made to look garbage 

[AndyB2]

Their players look like hard bastards. Ours look like they spend a lot on their hair
