But it was the manager who played a consistently shite left sided midfielder as a lone striker. Also a right sided midfielder on the left. Started with no strikers on the field. Started with seven midfielders. Played Boycey in central defence where he couldn’t link up or overlap with Callum on the right. Played Maloney somewhere in midfield but not behind the makeshift striker.
However he got the substitutes about right and our shit strikers actually looked a little sharper and got into goal missing positions.
However I think it is time now for Dave Whelan to take a share of the blame for this unfolding disaster BUT the majority of blame should lay on the shoulders of some bone idle, un-professional, lazy, arrogant, overrated, underworked, players.
Malky certainly has his work on with this squad of below average journeymen who are simply not good enough but think they are.Mark H beaning himself telling others to go and get the old bill.
Moonay we got a good kickin off those octopuses that neet.
I geet one int gob at Morecambe in 1973. Serious hooliganism in the seventies. I remember the Rugby post after the second replay at Ewood against The Shrimps reporting the Latics fans being arrested with machetes etc.The Texaco Cup graced the shelves of Gallowgate in 1974. Mighty Toon never quite got over that and the club that probably has the biggest drawing number of fans on their doorstep from both large and small towns alike saw their average crowds drop to 16000 in 1981. That is probably the equivalent of Latics seeing crowds drop to 150.
Big gobbed and Big headed about SFA swarming around in their own arrogance and little Wigan have won more trophies in the last 2 years than the mighty Smash The Posts Up Banana throwing Sack The Board Toon have in 39 years.We were stuck with Leeds fans one side and Newcastle the other. I remember a mass game of football on Wembley car park with dozens of different shirts involved.
I wonder if something could take place like that again with the commercial aspect that has developed since then.Tav was The Millers star man last season so lets see if he can come back to haunt them from the stands or bench.
Dark time??? Just another time. Part of a club evolving. It cant always be amazing times at any club and this is one of those troughs that all clubs will go through when they are evolving. Who knows it might take us lower and at some stage we may be at Wembley and in Europe again. Wembley or Victory park is all part of watching our club and should we be at Victory Park again on a wet Tuesday night ,so be it and some of us will get the same buzz out of that as we did at Old Trafford in the Premier League. Not saying I want to see us again at Chorley but if we were there I would be with my club. Remember most of us daft buggers on here have been around a lot longer than Whelan Martinez Coyle Rosler and McKay and will still be there long after.
Heres to three points against The Millers whatever formation the Manager plays.He must have his reasons. He is employed to do these things. Bloody strange though because Both McClean and Espinoza don’t exactly set the world alight as midfielders never mind strikers! it sounds though that yet again it was sloppy defending that was the main problem.
Good point Fill. By the time our 1 is chasing the ball everywhere we look more like 4 6 0. and not the 4 5 1 we are meant to be playing. Does anyone actually play the dreaded 4 4 2 anymore that we need to set up just to conquer it. If so the 9 times out of 10 certainly doesn’t work with our 4 5 1 or 5 4 1 that we favour. Reality is we just have to work harder and be more positive. A little like what Use promised but didn’t deliver.
The way we play this one striker system 4th bottom will be a massive over achievement this season Makem!
Two strikers and a positive approach may do that. Or let’s just keep it His majesty Griff’s way and play one striker with his back to the goals.
May not even get to be in the squad Saturday.Will need resting after all these reserve games.Question is would he be able to score at Championship level.
