When you thought it can’t get any worse we pop up with what I can only describe as, a wet flannel wtf performance.
Seriously that has to be the worse I’ve seen in 3-4 years. Thats 1 shot on target in 180minutes of football.Blame who you want bug those players need to look in the mirror because that’s stealing living.
Forget that players are not good enough or injuries new manager etc etc etc I’m on a out effort desire will to win.
What I saw was a broken football side. You know what, I don’t know if any football in the 4 leagues who do not have more than 1 forward.I want a manager to say
We need to improve, be more assertive up front more intensity but I know what I’ll hear
A good defending performance against a tricky in form sideI’m struggling to see this season out
5 April 2025 at 5:48 pm #205526Please sort the message board out, it’s doing the old cover up can’t see what your typing
6 April 2025 at 9:09 am #205529Getting nervous now , still could get relegated looking at the table and current form.
It’s early days with the new coach I know but I’m starting to get very worried that this season could end in disaster.
This is the worst Latics team since the 1992-93 one in my opinion and anyone who thinks the team is safe is deluded.
6 points needed I think but where are they going to come from given the awful form ?6 April 2025 at 10:30 am #205532A win away at Exeter could put the toilet paper away till next season. A win will put us 9 clear of Burton with 6 to go and 12 and 13 points in front of Crawley and Cambridge and a game in hand on the pair. Then, don’t lose at Burton I honestly think we’ll then be safe.
The Exeter game could be the defining turning point in our dour season. I just hope the manager points this out to the players how important it is because “Take it game by game” is utter utter bollox because at this stage of the season it’s about targeting particular winnable games.
We stand a far better chance beating an Exeter than a Wrexham who only need a couple of wins to go up.
theres one huge problem, we don’t have a fit forward.i cannot believe that a football club has no fit forwards not even a kid from youth.
This has to be the worse squad I’ve seen in 25 years bar none.
Lose at Exeter and Burton then it puts Burton within 3. I just hope Lowe can pull the rabbit out the hat because I was lost as to what his tactics were against Orient, totally lost
6 April 2025 at 11:56 am #205533Get to 50 points we’ll be reet. Burton would need 51 really given goal difference. They won’t get 12 points from 6 games.
Crawley/Cambridge/Shrews won’t catch us anytime.
Trouble is, where are the points coming from? Shrews away is the only remaining fixture I would be more than 50% confident of a win.
Why are we virtually the only club in history that never gets a “new manager” bounce?
6 April 2025 at 5:39 pm #205534The rot was well and truly set in before Lowe arrived. We all knew months ago that this unbelievable situation of 1 striker(Goodwin) in a squad of 30 was going to be a serious hindrance. The recruitment balloon heads obviously thought differently so we offloaded Stones when keeping him at least gave us an option albeit inexperienced. ….only inexperienced because Maloney gave him no game time to continue his development. I personally dont think Taylor will sign for us…..too many other Efl teams with more ambitions will have been impressed with him. Arguing on Tues with some Maloney cult followers who were staggeringly criticising Lowe. Give me a break !!!!…..This whole squad is a totally unbalanced, a cheap and cheerful, quality less ensemble. I have no confidence that Lowe will be given license to do a full overhaul in the summer…….if not then next season will be a carbon copy of this…….Maloney, Recruitment team,Danson will be totally to blame…….NOT Lowe !!! .
7 April 2025 at 4:37 pm #205535The first thing I noticed with Lowe is a difference of opinion. Take Sibbick, he was one of the first on the team sheet along with Mellish but Lowe seems to have frozen the pair out.
Now I’m not slating Lowe I just saying that both managers see or prefer a different style/type of player.
Lowe has zero chance with this current set of players. I’m pretty much sure most weren’t even Maloney’s choices.
My gripe is this season after the mass exodus of the season before that we should have been the building season but it’s more like a builder who demolishes a property then sits on the land.
This season gone was all about spending nothing, on the cheap, and the club picking the players. I mean come on, seriously, how the fook could Maloney scout or know anything about his signings when a fair few were kids with little league experience.
For me last season was a wasted season, we’ve built fook all bar we dumped a manager who got no support.
Yes Maloney had his faults I never truly thought he is managerial tackle but that doesn’t mean I didn’t want him to succeed he a Latics legend for Christ sake.
Maloney’s gone now so it’s down to Lowe to make it work but all’s I can say is, if Danson decides to spend nothing then we’ll be going through managers as fast as a pack of 24 Senokot after a madras.
Lowe needs backing or this season will mirror itself on to next season were Lowe survives like Maloney on kids on loan and players playing out their depth.
8 April 2025 at 8:01 am #205537The difference is Lowe won’t stick around to be pissed about like Maloney did, any broken promises with financial backing, people overruling who he wants to sign and he’ll be off, Lowe won’t be short of offers if he leaves, whereas Maloney took all the shit because deep down he knows he won’t get a managerial job elsewhere.
Fuck the EFL
8 April 2025 at 2:18 pm #205538Tonight is super important, a win will make it very hard for others to pin us back.
Let’s not say “Take it game by game” we don’t need that sh*t, what we need is to target games like the Exeter, Burton & Shrewsbury all be it away which I personally think is better for us1 win 1 draw will see us right and let’s face it, we’re playing 21st & 24th in the league so . . . but tonight is huge
8 April 2025 at 2:41 pm #205539Tonight is super important, I’d go as far as saying it could define the season outcome.
A win will make it very hard for other sides to claw us back.
Let’s not say to the players “Take it game by game”, right now we don’t need that sh*t, whats needed to be said is tonight is a must win game.We also have Burton & Shrewsbury all be it away which I personally think is better actually better for us
1 win 1 draw will see us right and let’s face it, we are playing 21st & 24th in the league so.
Lowe has probably the hardest task since Martinez took over and was told to clear the decks but Lowes success won’t be determined by his ability it will be defined by the colour of Danson’s money.
We need better players, players with prospects to sell on and a few older decent players to gel it.I don’t think Lowes thought this one out. Now he’s had a few weeks to assess the task at hand I bet his first words were
W.T.F?
