Definitely need to get 3pts tomorrow. So relieved to beat Bromley but very unconvincing. Our defending for both goals was shocking and the way we conceded possession to a struggling side after our 3rd would have been punished by a better team. Forward strength on bench is a big worry. As soon as Costelloe/Hogan entered the fray our goal threat died. Some good performances particularly Miller,Saydee,Burns and Burrowes. Think we’ll have to step up for tomorrow as Mansfield will be a tougher nut to crack,and another 3pts will certainly give the players and us a lift.
Agreed. Whilst 3 points against Bromley was critical, tonight is almost as crucial.
One random win won’t help us much, but back to back wins will really make a difference to the table and give everyone a confidence boost ahead of the very real banana skin threat on Saturday.
4 points from last 2 games is not the end of the world. Next two league games are against Barnsley and Blackpool, both of which are winnable, and even 4 points from those two fixtures would see an 8 point haul from 4 games, which would be excellent momentum for a very difficult December.
That last night was garbage by both sides. Nil nil flattered both teams. Scrap the wing backs. Use at least one winger and two strikers. Get back to playing football with two strikers, four at the back and with four in the middle. If that means having to stick with two of the same strikers then stick with them Gary. Don’t be scared of binning off a couple of the weak children and Power. We want our club back, our football back and a consistent side without swapping and changing and playing 4-4-2. That’s the Latics way.
I personally don’t think we played too bad against a bullying side. I think the ref would do well in the WWE because some of the tackles and shirt pulling he let go was a p!ss take.
Borrowes and Walsh worked their sacks off plus we defended well but we just lack that killer instinct in the box.
Saydee, he has the talent but why why why does he shield the ball then lean as far back as he can and pushes his back into defenders? why !!?
Defenders know the script their not soft they simply allowed him to push so hard step back and his arse hits the floor.
There’s no need to lean so far back and not release the ball every time he receives it just stand your friggin ground
Either
1- 2 touch pass or stand your ground, don’t lean back and let the defender push you forward, then you’ll get the foul.
Refs can see what he’s doing so 9 times out of 10 he won’t get the foul.
But although it was a 0-0 it’s an improvement on some of the performances I’ve seen this season.
The young lads are all putting in almighty shifts and learning and improving game by game which is good to see, it’s a breath of fresh air.
Mellish, he came on and sat in the middle in Powers position, bossing running holding passing. For around 20 minutes he looked bang on for that Power role just the job then Caldwell brings on Trevitt and shifts Mellish out left why only god f**kin knows
As for Hogan ? if that was his plagued ankle he went off with then I think that’s the last we’ve seen of him at this club.
He’s contracted till Jan and he “could” be out for a considerable amount of time if its as bad as it looked.
Might be a good time bring back say Moseley or Simms surely we have an emergency clause in their contracts
Or Ladapo a free agent no club. But overall bar is not scoring I saw improvements all round, lots of energy, fitness levels look to have improved so hopefully we can start finding the back of the net.
Let’s not forget that, in our first 14 games we’ve played 4 out the top 6
And 8 out the top half (12) of the table. We’ve a few games coming up against those around us so that will be the litmus test for us
