Sloshed Joe Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Our home form has been a mystery all season. Barely played well in any one match. But equally frustrating is the downturn in away form. That looked like being the difference maker under Mellon. We looked like we had that sussed and have been dangerous away for a large part of the season. It does seem to coincide with Norwood returning but then he was part of many good away wins prior to his injury. Really frustrating last quarter of the season.

I'm not for booing myself, I've normally fucked off by fulltime this season .... I find myself in agreement. Football SHOULD arouse passion amongst the fans. If not, you end up with the "prawn sandwich" brigade that Mr Keane referred to. I have noticed since attending BP again that there is a larger % of "sterile" fans than there used to be. I was berated at a game for screaming at the ref. I didn't use abusive language but he'd got something blatantly wrong. I was told that he was "only trying to make a living" by a sandwich eater behind me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 FFS it's 0-0 and we are playing bottom of the league....who are already relegated.....who have only 32 points....who have a -37 GD....who have won 2/17 since Xmas....and who have conceded 40 goals in these 17 games. What the fuck are the management team doing with these wasters in training!! More pressure on Mellon if the score stays like this.....or gets worse. Not doing himself any favours at all at the moment and he seems like he's about as bothered as the players are based on recent pre and post match pressers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 If we don’t score in the first 15 minutes it feels like the players and fans lose the pre match optimism and things get worse from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 If this match plays out the same way in the second half then it will be the sort of performance that can (should?) get a manager sacked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 What an embarrassment this team has become, careful though they are all husbands and fathers. They gave up weeks ago and this performance just reaffirms that. Mellon and anyone out of contract can go for me because regardless of what backing he gets the mindset is all wrong and that starts at the top. They are actually worse than under Unsworth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishfly Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Although I don't particularly rate us I thought we would trounce these today. They have conceded 90 goals so far this season (!) and should be like lambs to the slaughter really. We might just sneak one yet but if we don't... it's a very poor result indeed.

stargazer Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Frank and the long suffering fans deserve so much more. No wins since Feb , very few goals , even fewer at the end of matches.

kowenicki Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Insipid. We have stolen a draw against a team of already relegated part timers. NLTV Oxford based commentator (82nd minute): “These Oldham players just don’t look very interested…. Not much effort”. That is damming! We have collapsed in slow motion this season. Abysmal form in the first and fourth 1/4’s of the season have killed us. 2 wins from the last 13. Only the two teams that will be relegated have won fewer games in that time. Does Mellon deserve another year? Not for me. Looks clueless and spent. The decision makers (DR) need to look in the mirror too and do we trust them to make a decent move with the next appointment? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
