Shambles

Anyone happy with that needs to give their head a wobble, it was average at best against a poor Ipswich side down to ten men, yes it was a good point in the end but we are poor in the last third, don’t look like scoring and its the first time I’ve been worried about staying up

And you are a class A wanker, who moans when we lose or draw and go missing when we win. You will be able to pull yourself off watching the highlights later on with your cup of horrlicks and lighty buttered crumpets. Call yourself a Latics fan yer nothing but a moaning old fart with Dave from Skem as a good side kick. He will be off on a melt down any time now saying he isn’t going again. Its happened so many times before. You make a good two some you two, just like the 2 old geezers on the muppet show. You couldn’t make it up! tee hee. Propper fans are here for life, moaning twats come and go. So please go![/quote]

Fuck off John, yer boring old goat.

You cant honestly be happy with that? Deary me, its shite. Ever decreasing attendances…its no surprise. People keep saying about us being clear of bottom 3…wont be soon. 3 away games on the trot coming up soon.

Believe me, I dont come home and fret about Latics, I bet Cook and the players dont. I only comment on what I’ve seen, and tell it like it is. Stevie Wonder could’ve seen that was poor today. Too slow, tepid, just not good enough. If you are satisfied with that, bloody hell. If the chairman and board are happy with that, we have real problems.

Thats me done with todays game. Shite.[/quote]

You never fail do you Dave, be honest. At least for the last few melt downs you’ve kept the same user name so progress being made. For the record, no I’ll not fuck off, I’ll do what I’ve always done and you should have done, stayed behind my team whether winning, losing or drawing. If that means in the wankers words “I’m a fluffy fan”, so be it, I’m fluffier than a fluffed filled cuddley teddy, called fluffly fuff.
I’m also proud to be a Latics fan and can hold my head up high on this board or any other, win, lose, draw, play shyte, can’t break 10 men down, give the bottom club 4 points in 2 games, whatever. You and brownarse must cringe when you look at the drivel posted over the years including most of this season after the injuries kicked in.

Difference of opinion? Read your opening post. If you gave it people to analyze they would say a 5 year old had wrote it, not a 60 odd year old. Dementia must be a horrible illness though, so I do feel a tad sorry for you.
Do you fancy them to get 3 points week or have you already composed your 5 O’clock moanalogue?

Been a while since I went to a game ‘fancying’ us to get 3 points. I’ve come to expect the same old tedious shite, concede a daft goal, and then be scratting away for an equalizer.

And thats home games. Aways are not an option…no thanks. Homes are bad enough.

What the gaffer had to say, fair honest account,IMHO..

“We didn’t play well that’s for certain,” Cook began.

“We were lacklustre and slow with what we did. It’s always more difficult than you would think when teams get set behind the ball, even with ten men it’s very hard to break down.

“We had to wait and wait and wait. Reece James provided the quality on the right for Joe Garner and we finally had our moment.

“It was a tough afternoon for us and great credit to Ipswich because they defended to a
man.

“Whilst it was a disappointing game for us, it’s another point and we move on.

“We had to work the ball wide, puts balls into the box and take chances because it can’t be worked through teams when they crowd the middle areas of the pitch.

“It was a case of trying to make the subs in the right way. I’m delighted with Joe Garner. We were going to bring him on earlier, but I thought Callum McManaman would add quality in wide areas for us at the time.

“I’m pleased we got the point in the end because to lose to a team around us would have been very disappointing. It’s not the end of the world I must add because the games continue and there are points out there for us all.

“It would have been great to grab a winner at the end, but I do feel it might have been harsh on Ipswich as they deserve a lot of credit.

“The sending off put us in the ascendancy and then we conceded a penalty straight away. In my world that shouldn’t happen, we should be clinical in the way that we defend.

“There’s a points tally our there that is achievable and one we need to get. I was pleased today because there looked a good crowd. They were right to be disappointed with the way we played and I’ve got no problem with that, so at least we had that little bit at the end when they could feel the relief from the tension.”

If you expect us to be in top half of this league with our budget and crowds I would fuck it off and watch another side as you’re only gonna be disappointed. We are miles behind the majority in terms of infrastructure and size and avoiding relegation will be a decent achievement in a league we have struggled to get to grips with the last two seasons we have been in it.

To call it a shambles is very harsh. It was certainly frustrating as we put ourselves under needless pressure thanks to one Mr dunkley giving away an absolute stupid penalty. Cue Ipswich putting 10 men behind the ball – no surprises there for the rest of the game & trying to catch us on the break. It also didn’t help when every Ipswich player who was “caught” went down as if he had been shot.

We upped the tempo in the 2nd half & had Clarke took his chances, we are possibly looking at a 2 or a 3 – 1 win. There was also one chance which springs to mind where windass was nailed on to score, only for Clarke to take it off his head. As it was, we scraped out a draw. Frustrating – absolutely! But as I said earlier, to call it a shambles is harsh.
