One thing I reckon we all agree on is that Magennis should be nowhere near the starting line up.
I’m sure he is great behind the scenes and working with the young lads. But the sorry truth is that any ability he had has completely gone. I felt embarrassed for him on Saturday.
Can’t really argue with that, still don’t know how he missed the target with that chance in the first half on Saturday.

What about Kelman’s chance?
Yes Kelman’s miss was a shocker as well.
Not fair to dismiss his career tho on the few minutes I’ve seen of him
Makes me wonder if the Manager / Team Meetings are an open forum; but the players aren’t allowed to offer any constructive criticism of strategies & performance.
As a “senior” member of the squad, maybe Callum Lang spoke up in the interests of the Team and got blown away by SM

</noscript> <noscript></noscript>Don’t think we will ever find out about real reason for the Callum Lang transfer but for me there was something very wrong. Whether it was the player himself, the Manager or maybe other players . Looks like he was shown the door with no chance of any reconciliation.
I think that you are missing the point Skeggy.
Orient, like us, have an equally young squad; but they are not constantly bleating about it.
And Mr Phoenix if you get your calculator out to add up the soft points that we have given away / lost, we could actually be chasing a play off spot. I also think that you are understating SM’s objective for the season, because I recall an interview where he stated his objective was to secure safety as quickly as possible and then see where we can take it
<noscript></noscript>We give away soft points because we have a young inexperienced squad who do make
mistakes but they are learning all the time. They are also capable of moments of brilliance and you could say we have given away soft points but we have also got points where nobody expected us to such as Derby, Bolton , Peterborough etc. Overall I don’t think we ever had the strength in depth in the squad to mount a serious promotion challenge especially with the eight point deduction and everything we went through in the close season. Roll on next season where I fully expect us to be right up there !I think that you are missing the point Skeggy.

The turning point for me was the Humphreys punishment for turning up late for a meeting. He was a player in form and that completely rocked him and the rest of the squad. Make him sing a whitney houston song to the squad after training or fine him a few bob but don’t punish the team.
After that we saw a constant barrage of players being played out of position, 4 or 5 changes every game,no consistency or cohesion with the team. Playing 3 centre halves,forcing the players to play the slow passing game at the back, it got painful to watch and even the poor teams have found it easy to play against us.
We have seen several players going backwards including, Hughes, Humphreys, Adeeko, Godo and Clare.
The introduction of the “experienced” Goode has has a negative impact at the back, what the hell has Maloney done with Morrison.??? Him and Charlie were looking to forge a great partnership and he completely severed it.
As for playing JM,he should be nowhere near the match day squad, he contributes fek aw.
I did something on Saturday that I have never done in my 50 years of watching the Latics. I was having a drink in Robin Park sports centre with my mate when the team was announced. When my mate said there were 5 changes and read out the names Charlie Goode and Josh Magennis, I put my coat on and told him I was going home. I walked the 2.5 miles stretch along the canal back to my house.
We are half way up the league despite Maloney being in charge not because he is. This squad is far better than people give credit for. In my opinion we have underachieved.
We have witnessed Maloneys style of football how he wants to play. He has gleaned all the bad traits from Martinez and I really don’t think it will change even with better players. I hope I’m wrong and agree he should be given at least one window to get some experienced and better quality players in.
To do what I did Saturday when I’ve been round Springfield Park with bucket collecting money to pay the players wages, shows you how pissed off I am with the whole shebang.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Orient may have an equally young squad but have actually earned one less point than us this season. Does that mean their manager is deluded as well because he absolutely goes on about the age of his squad in his post match interview.
Also, Maloneys objectives pre season were to stay in this division this season and to target top 6 next season. Part one completed successfully I would suggest

What about Kelman’s chance?
Kelman needs to get match sharp and to do that he needs games. That poor excuse of a forward has had a long run of games despite bringing fuck all to our team. Give Kelman the same and let him get to his sharpest. If he misses chances or doesn’t contribute put him on the same scrap heap as our irish international.

What a journey!
