Yesterday I witnessed something I’ve never seen in so many numbers, boo’ing and sing “Your getting sacked in the morning”.
Firstly, yes we’re struggling, yes the managers getting it wrong, yes the players confidence is shattered but is that called for ? me personally no I thought is was disgusting to be honest.
Only a few weeks back some of the same people were singing his name at Preston then that. I’m not sure how mass boo’ing and singing songs about getting rid of your manager will help.
Were all disappointed but for players to be boo’ed what the fcuk has it come to ??.
I’m sorry but if your that pissed off to the point you can’t stand it there’s a simple solution:-
Don’t Go stay at home.
I’ve come out the ground calling the manager, the owner, but never do I sit there boo’ing and calling for heads to roll.
Last thing, I will give you a prime example of Lowe and his management.
There’s a throw in for us just in front of the Lincoln dug out and we’re playing towards the north stand.
Asamoah’s stood waiting 15 yards away and Lowe screams at him to come to the throw in taker
Asamoah runs towards the taker just as the takers taking it and the balls launched over Asamoah’s head and the fans start shouting abuse at Asamoah.
Had Asamoah stood his ground he’d have got it, and that sums up Lowe’s micro managing the team in play and how to make a player look bad.
Moxon ? not good enough, Taylor ? average so bringing these two to the club and playing them is a mistake.
And Weir? the lads no Pele but I’m stick to fcukin death and fans calling him not fit to burn every time he’s on the ball and I mean vocally at pitch side “Wieir your fooking sh*te !” I think it’s disgusting, get off the fcukin lads case he’s a Wigan player plus he works his bollocks off, he worked far harder than Moxon did
What he lacks in skills he makes up in effort. I think some Wigan fans need a real serious head wobble, some are too big for their football boots right now.
If your not happy rather than boo and call for the chop at the game do me a favour stop at home will ya.
Get behind them because if that carries on your simply adding to the problems not helping. These players need support encouraging, they need us behind them all boo’ing and sacking songs does is add to the problem
In the main, I agree.
Lowe has made a lot of mistakes, and at any other club would’ve been sacked weeks ago. But this is Latics, and we never do things normal.
Its not just Lowe, it’s the powers above him. Ive no doubt he has been short changed in the financial backing he has received. Hes trying to paint a Constable painting, with Crayons. Borrowed Crayons at that. For that I do feel sorry for him. Eventually we will hear the truth. The same thing happened to Maloney and unless our next manager is a really strong character, it will likely happen again.
I didnt shout any abuse. And I got behind the team…as much as I could get behind them. But by christ, theyre shite. Its a really shite bunch of players in this squad. More fight in a wet rag. Given we have an owner with wealth, its the worst squad we’ve ever had. .
I DO care. And it is affecting me. Yes, its getting me down. I’m going to Arsenal…with no hope or expectation. Its just a trip out to the current top team in Europe. No more, no less. I am not going to the next 2 home games, just having a break from it. Its the whole atmosphere around yhe club, the negativity, some people revelling in it all a little bit too much. Its as much that as it is how shit we are on the pitch and whatever failings our manager has.
Does our manager set out for us to play shite and lose games? No, he bloody well doesn’t. I can guarantee that. Do the players go out on the pitch to play shit and lose? No chance. Nobody could convince me of that. You go on a pitch to win, its as simple as that. No professional football manager or players go outt to lose. Unless its some dodgy South American thing where there’s match fixing and shite like that going on. (Or Italians)
So to see the players and manager get continuously hammered….its really getting to me. Maybe they are trying their best but just aren’t good enough. I think its a mixture of that and tjem being set up to play a system that doesn’t work with them. So partly the players, partly the manager. But I can guarantee you that NONE of them go out to deliberately lose a game and fail. I mean, even Sunday League players this morning will go out to win their game. Thats football. This bunch of players, or most of them, also failed under Maloney. So thats quite telling in itself. Yes, we have spent a little bit of money. But I think this squad, if it had about 3 million spent on it, would have been top of the league. The standard of the league is largely shocking. If we had spent 3 million on a CB, RWB, LWB, CM and a Striker, I think we would be where Cardiff and Lincoln are. I really do. All season its been a case of Lowe having to use round pegs in square holes, so to speak. I’m not saying he is blameless, but hes been eworking with shit tools to get the job done. Where I think he comes unstuck is his after match comments. Is he TOO open and honest? Maybe. He is getting character assassinated of late though, and its no good.
Rioch getting slaughtered over recruitment, and it turns out he is not the head of recruitment. Joe Riley…whoever he is…is. Well, is out recruitment so poor because of the constraints of the board and owner? Because they are playing a very dangerous gamble with out current predicament. If you buy a club, you are going to have to invest some money. If they had done, we could be looking towards promotion now. And ok, people then say you need to then spend more, but you also get money for going up, and would get more income from bigger attendances. ‘Speculate to Accumulate’, they say. Thats how it works. Yet they’ve gambled on Lowe working absolute miracles with borrowed waifs and strays.
I can’t wait for the fans forum. Give me the mic and whilst I dont want to gwt into a slanging match with the club, I will come prepared and ready to voice what Ive said above. The gamble they have done has failed massively and it could get even worse yet. But I bet the forum gets cancelled or postponed. I think they have used it to buy them some time. Gambling once again, that this bunch of players will suddenly pick up and hit a run of form. I can’t see that happening, can you? No hope at all that we will suddenly hit a winning run.
Can’t add much to the previous posts,just reluctantly had to accept that although Lowe has been the one big reason why this season will go to the relegation wire the other is we have very little if any quality on the playing side. Murray has been a mayor letdown, Asamoah given a chance was shocking. The rest look weak. Their strikers were very energetic and physical…..ours look like Sunday league kids in comparison. Midfield?….Isn’t one. Moxon poor,M Smith wasted as a defensive sweeper. Weir in different role so unfair to criticise but when in middle not good enough. Felt for Joe Taylor….welcome to the strikers graveyard……no service whatsoever. Hungbo did well when on but with no one supporting him always up against an opposition 2 or 3. Saydee jury’s out as it is with Costelloe…..don’t score…..but surely our nil creative and non combative midfield is one big reason for their lack of goals. With loan players returning in June,many out of contract then another ground zero rebuild on the horizon. A worrying thought particularly if we then reside in league 2…..a big possibility. See how that works out Mr Danson…..rebuild on an even smaller budget….and decent players wanting to avoid league 2 like a dose of clap. An investment in the playing side could have had huge benefits as its a weak as piss league . The warning signs been around for months….only nearly gone Port Vale got less wins….is it 3 league goals at home since middle September?….What a stat that is……enough said.
