Hopefully SM has learn’t and realized from the second half, last week, what sort of football will win him games & support from the crowd. Or will we resort to tippy tappy protect the point from the kick off
Anything can happen tomorrow, unlike other fans from other clubs we have no idea what we are going to get, there could be multiple changes to the starting eleven depending what the Tombola churns out, five subs in the second half.
The key question is the game plan, is it slow tippy tappy settle for a point football boring the tits off everyone or will it be like second half in the Fulham game in their faces attacking and actually looking like we want to score?It’s anybody’s guess what will happen with this fella at the helm, Maloney probably has no idea what he’s going to do I think he makes it up as he goes along!
Fuck the EFL
Don’t need to guess !!!!…Selection, performance……normal w### service resumed. Is time up for him ??….Can we put up with some of the worst fare ever served up in our colours???. Said before we have to score 1st or else it’s a draw best. Sibbick,Asamoah,Adeeko,Weird to name 4 we’re worse than dreadful.Shall I repeat it yet again…..no f####### recognised striker !!!! again adds up to no goal threat no matter how many wingers we burn money on.The players that gave Fulham a 2nd half fright sitting it out again. Stockport another bang average side found it extremely easy. Let’s go back to Stockport away …alarms ringing loudly for me then.His 2nd half subs that day were the epitome of negative…….4 months on……nothings changed. Really beginning to think I don’t want to start next season with him in charge.
Enough is enough.
I’ve swerved most of this season but now done the last 3 home games. People near me asking me when I’ll go again…and I honestly don’t know.
I don’t like our manager.
I don’t like our players. With any manager, or any club WORTH THEIR SALT, Smith and Adeeko wouldn’t get near a starting place in midfield. Both are not good enough. And Sibbick? Jesus tonight. Awful. Shocking player.
Then there’s the lack of a goalscorer. We all saw it ages ago, we all knew it. This manager, he’s worse than Warren Joyce and Kolo The Clown. He’s had extra leeway because of his history with us. Enough is enough.I don’t know when I will bother going again. You’d think Bolton maybe? But if we are playing like that…nah I’ll give it a miss.
Maloney HAS to go. Clubs bloody dying with this shite.
He has to go it’s not happening for him because at this rate we’ll be back to the famous 2000 within the blink of an eye
Lose on Tuesday and we’re really in the dogfight with Wycombe and Uddersfield next.
Anyone who doesn’t think we’re in real trouble hasn’t been paying attention.
Reminds me of that old Three Lions 1996 anthem with Dame Trevor Brooking voicing (about England) “we’re not creative enough, we’re not positive enough”
Next home game on a Tuesday night V Huddersfield, can see it being a very poor crowd. Can’t blame anybody for giving it a swerve.
How long will they let it drag on for before we get the corner flag photo and ‘Club Statement’?.
That said, they’ll probably do it and when you click on it’ll tell is that “listen, this f***** is going nowhere so like it or lump it.”I’ve just looked up at a huge list of out of work managers. A lot were foreign and likely out of our reach. Ones I did see and thought they might be within our reach…
Ryan Lowe
Paul Warne
Neil Harris
Duncan FergusonBut…and this is the thing. If we are going to ever make that change, there’s going to have to be some more backing of the new man from our owner and board. This running the club on buttons has got us in the state we are. By all means, yes, we need to be careful and sensible, but then again to make any progress as a club, I think we do need some financial investment for stronger signings. It’s imperative we get the scouting section set up at the club, to get out there and maybe find some gems in places like the Vanarama League and the League Of Ireland. Grimsby, for example, signed Cameron McJannett, captain of Derry City last summer. Bolton signed Eoin Toal as well, after we were linked with him.
So much at the club needs to be picked up and improved.The buck stops with the manager. I watched his post match interview and if he talks to the players with that twitching edgy nervousness I’m sure his points won’t be taken on.
He a has a coach and backroom team that deal with training and he gives them an outline as to what to work on and their left to their own devices.
Maloney’s job? to instill a belief and confidence into the players and to me he comes across the exact opposite way.
Now the other thing:
He has a grade of player set by our owners budget and to me he cannot get them working as a unit. The chopping and changing, his style which is mish mash and no doubt leaves the squad with no identity.
5 subs a game coupled with who what when were & why leaves us fans confused, players confused and hopefully this registers with the owner.
Sad as it may seem he needs to go. Will he go?, no it’s as simple as that because it’s the “Discount Danson” way.Hopefully the players can get something Tuesday at Crawley but the longer picture is like pulling the duvet over the head on a wet and windy Monday morning after a heavy weekend
That’s how Latics feels right nowIf I were a manager, I’d want to keep to a fairly rigid ‘settled first 11’, barring injuries or suspensions. My changes would be minimal and done out of necessity rather than choice. Maloney just makes changes for changes sake it seems.
For me, and golden rule would be not to change a settled back 4 unless it was forced upon you. When he’s pulling a centre back off the field and moving full backs about, it’s disruption you don’t need.Some of his selections and choices absolutely has me baffled. And you can say “he’s been in football years, he knows more than you.” Really? I’m not convinced. There is not a cat in hells chance I wouldn’t have brought an experienced striker in either at the start of the season, or the January window. Everyone could see it. We were crying out. But stubborn bollocks knew best….
At any other club, he would’ve been sacked well before Christmas, probably around October time. But we aren’t a normal club. We’re a charade of a club. Just ticking along for as long as they can have us ticking along. But make no mistake, tbe attendances are falling drastically. I saw a photo of the east stand from the away end earlier and I was shocked how empty it was. I didn’t realise. It’ll be even worse at the Huddersfield game. They might announce 8000 on or something like that, but that’s including the season tickets…and there’s 3 here, plus myself who won’t be going. There’s a lot more besides.
Wait til they have the cheek to start putting renewal dates and deadlines out, they’re in for a shock because I can see ST take up being the lowest it’s been in years. The 6k they said we had last season I can see it being more like 4k. You can’t blame people one bit.People, and especially Wiganers, will only turn out of there’s something worth turning out for. In the days of Swain, we were shite. But we still scored some goals and still created some entertainment. It was better than this what we have now. A lot better. Our owners then, Gage and Bitel, didn’t have a pot to piss in, but they didn’t lie to us either. They steadied the ship and kept us going until Whelan came on board.
Being told that the aim is to get back up to the Championship and then ultimately the Premier League, and then being ran how we are, and seeing us actually going in the other direction is insulting. We aren’t stupid. We are miles away from getting anywhere near the Championship. And yet when you look at the overall quality of this League One, apart from Birningham and Wrexham, the money clubs, there’s nothing in the rest of the league. Our biggest obstacles is actually ourselves.Is there actual genuine ambition in the club? I can’t see it myself. Genuine ambition would, or will see a change of manager and that manager backed properly in the summer to get us making progress and going as a club.
But I won’t hold my breath. I don’t know when I will go a game again at the moment. Unless things change, it could be a while.
Well said Vat69.
At the half way point of the season I thought “well there’s 23 fixtures left for SM to sell his brand of football to me, and 4 or 5 months for the Invisible Man (Danson) to prize my hard earned cash out of my pocket and sign up for another season. With 17 to go it’s not looking good. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s fait accompli before the last quarter of the season.
It will be a tough decision; but one that is made for me and not by me
A Crawley away win is vital, if we win we go 9 clear of them 4th from bottom and a game in hand.
Maloney must go into this game all guns blazing but I’m sure he’ll be thinking a points a point,And that my friends will be his undoing
