If we are still playing one up front

If you don’t want to give this mon a chance then fair enough. I’ll start ranting after he’s had a shop window to make an impact, in the meantime feel free to spit your dummies out! :P

I really hope we start playing well and winning games again, so that fans like you will start watching them again.

I’ll let you all know when it happens.

I fekin despair! :angry:[/quote]

Why do you despair jr? You try making so many fundamental mistakes as Joyce is in your job marrer and see how long you last. You cannot blame fans for being mad and upset. No fan of any club will go knowing the chance of seeing your beloved team win is being drastically reduced by the manager playing lads out of position and ignoring your best strike option. Will Grigg has not become a bad player overnight more likely the fact is that this boring anti-football we have adopted simply doesn’t suit the lad. Like Ali, LHL I have watched this club all my life with pride and fulfilment and its been only the last few years that has been really hard to take. Needless as well coz it has just been down to bad managers. Still fed up and upset.[/quote]

I think the last few have been tough to take because 8 years in the Prem has led people to believe we are actually a big club. We probably shouldn’t be in this league really once you take away the parachutes and we rely on what income we actually make.[/quote]
I think the lads complaining on here go a lot further back than the greed league. Thirty or forty years and more. The last four years of that era was garbage anyway bar a few desperate run ins when we reverted back to playing the Latics way.

Can’t speak for them Egg but yes Egg like you I have no delusions of who we are and I am proud of our humble roots and have enjoyed upsetting the applecart and snapping at the heels of the mighty and ones that think they are mighty for all the years I have supported our club.
I am under no disalusionment either about what Dave Whelan has done for our club.
Lostock Hall and Horc have shown even more love for our club and that is just me pointing out how some are getting fed up now of the football they are having dished out to them.

This one up front shit has been going on for years now and fans are getting pissed off with it,I was hoping Joyce would come in and give us some adventurous attacking football to watch.

So far what he has served up aint too clever,not playing Grigg makes him out to be clueless,what is it with modern managers that only revert to attacking football once the game looks lost?

He isn’t doing his best with what he has though is he, our top scorer on the bench every week for no reason, and i can’t get my head around this “limit the damage” malarkey![/quote]

Ok quite simple goal differance will be a key factor come end of season by trying to deffend best we can untill he gets chance to bring in his own players to play the way he wants
By not giving many goals away wil give us a better chance later to stay up simple really

Bickymon, shouldn’t the onus also be on scoring goals as well as not conceding?

Massive risk employing a reserve team manager to take charge of a relegation threatened team .No comparison managing a team of talented youngsters in a meaningless league where results don’t count for anything.Not the time to be experimenting with this no striker crap.Looked better when Grigg on against Derby but setting up for a 0-0 draw and getting nothing is failure.If he continues with this totally negative bollocks then we will be relegated.Posters on here before Derby were hoping for 4pts in next 3….wont get 4pts more all season if he doesn’t stop arsing around and go out to try to WIN games.Christ ,what was Sharpe thinking when giving a managerial no-mark a 3 1/2 year deal ?If that’s what it took to prise him away from Utd then should have looked elsewhere.
