Can’t believe Sinclair didn’t get a sniff again today. The game well and truley dead and buried he could have given the boy 30 mins. I really thing Chelski have hinted that they are going to recall him back in january due to the African Nations cup thinggy.

What a journey!I wouldn’t say Martinez out, but a result like this has been on the cards for a few weeks now, maybe not 9-1, but a big scoreline. I think this is the game that people will finally realise…1. Martinez will see that alot of the players he has brought in are rubbish. Fact. And the some of the players that were already here are rubbish too, and we’ve failed to get rid of them and move on. Scotland, useless (As I said all along) Gomez, poor again, Edman too old, Melchiot terrible (As I said a few weeks back but everyone slated me for it) Boyce not up to scratch either. Kirkland’s overrated too.
2. Martinez will see that playing players out of position will not work. Rodallega MUST go upfront, N’Zogbia MUST be on the left wing, Scotland and Gomez MUST be on the bench at best.
3. Everyone will see (If they haven’t already) that we need to invest some of the money gained from the sales of Palacios and Valencia (not a cheap shot at Whelan by the way) into the current squad. A no nonsense defender is evidently needed, a right winger is needed as we nothing going forward today, and most of all a striker. These 3 positions must be a priority come January.
So positives can come out of the game, not in terms of performance, but the reaction to the result will be key. We must address the problems, and the players need to show some fight. I don’t care who you are, or who you’re against you cannot lose 9-1 to anybody. Fact, and we need to make changes to improve performances. We need a clearout in the summer, regardless of how we do this season.
So come on Latics, lets show some of the stuff that beat Villa 2-0, some of the stuff that beat Chelsea 3-1. Because on our day we can be decent, we just need to tighten up. Do the basics right. As evidently we aren’t at the minute.
Keep the Faith!
Can’t believe you didn’t mention bramble in that rant. Watch MOTD tonight and count the number of goals that went in due to Bramble not picking up his man in the box.

What a journey!From were I was sat bramble had a mare. Remember the pass across his goal straight to one of their men who shot wide.
5/10 at best and I have to totally agree with the Charlie move. To put your best attacking option at left back with the game for the taking, was nothing short of lunacy from bobby. :xFrom Matlock to ManU
What a journey!You forgot the decimal point before Scotland’s 6 :lol:he looked OK to me when someone had the decency to pass a friggin ball to his feet. :roll:

1, what does the bit behind the man in the hoist say? West?
2, do you live in the attic of the old Kudos? :?
Yes Griff it does say West and my office is upstairs in Robin Park Indoor Sports Centre from which the said photo was taken.[/quote]
Just like at school, I jumped in without reading properly. I just read ‘window’ and assumed you meant home, not office. No wonder I only got 10 o levels, 5 a levels and a honours degree :roll: [/quote]

What a journey!Yes we beat Chelsea, but did you see the shocking defeats to Wolves, Hull and Portsmouth? 3 of the worst teams in the league, and we lost to all 3 of them. Something may be wrong me thinks.Just get it in your head there are NO easy games in the prem. If you think we have the right to beat teams like the 3 you’ve mentioned, your a bigger fool than the chubster wind up mercnants who come on here.
Its not about the teams you beat, its about the points you get.
If I was to say to you would you be happy with 6 points from Villa away, chelsea at Home, Wolves at home and Hull away? Me thinks you would. Don’t get like the John Deehans and John Bensons of the world and get wrapped up on who the oposition are, what tactics they play etc. etc.
13 points from 11 games, is potentially 26 points from 22 games, 39 points from 33 games and 46 points from 38 games.Fek me why did I not get voted best poster on here?

What a journey!Sorry that this thread is a bit late considering the game was on Saturday. I would have posted it earlier but my internet’s been down.Anyway back to the point. 4-0?!
Against Portsmouth, who poses possibly the 2 worst strikers in the Premier League. Yet BOTH scored against us. Dindane even scored a hattrick. And Piquionne!! He is by far the worst striker i have seen this season besides Jason Scotland. Yet our defence made him look like Pele. Poor show really poor. We have too many average players in our team. Fact. Let’s run through the 11 and I’ll share any problems I have with them.
Chris Kirkland – Is good I’ll give him that. Always liked him, but England standard? Not for me, anyway that’s besides the point. He sometimes, not always, sometimes lets in some silly goals that could have been avoided. Although on Saturdday there wasn’t much he could have done to save us.
Mario – I have said in the past what I think of him. I think he is over rated and should definetly not be the captain of the team. There are far better candidates in the squad. And I think he doesn’t lead by example and is poor in defence and attack and isn’t of the standard we should be looking at.
Titus – was brilliant last season, and good so far this. But had a real off day on Saturday, compared to usual standards. For Piquionnes goal him and Boyce were too far apart. Leaving a huge gap for him to run into. Boyce stepped up to play him off, but Bramble played him on. Poor play for me. But I’m definitely not anti-Bramble. I think he is one of our best players.
Emmerson Boyce – Used to be good enough, not anymore I’m afraid. Poor again on Saturday, at fault for the goals. and he has let his standards drop. In his first season with us he was a rock. But has declined sinse, and now I think he has reached the point where he is a Championship player. A new centre back is needed, for the time being I think Scharner is the best option. But then we a lacking drive in the midfield…
Charles N’Zogbia – He is brilliant, but why Roberto play him left back? As seen n the second half with that brilliant run, is our biggest attacking threat. So play him on the left wing. Not the right, not left back. The left wing, on the right he is so less effective and can go missing in games. On the left he can take people on, and cause real problems. Never ever a left back. But I love him on the left wing. Our biggest attacking threat.
Diame and Thomas – I am big fans of both. Both are tough tackling, good passer, and composed on the ball. They are great cover for our (at times) shaky defence and I have criticism of them atall.
Scharner – I am a fan of Scharner, I think he has energy and threat from midfield that Diame and Thomas, and certaintly Gomez don’t give us. But I think we may need him at the back as we seem alot more solid with him. Personally I think he should be captain, but I know others will disagree.
Rodallega – As a striker, I love Hugo. But he is a STRIKER! NOT A WINGER!! We lose so much goal threat when he is on the wing and not up front. He is undoubtedly our best striker, and the only one we can rely on for goals. So play him up front and we’ll get our rewards. He is a waste on the wing.
Sinclair – For me the best person for the right wing job. He is fast, direct and scares defenders. I really like him and think he should be playing every week. was unlucky for their first goal, as I think was fouled on the half way line in the build up.
Scotland – No goal threat atall. To say the least I’m not a fan, and he’s a huge waste of money. That mishit shot in the second half summed him up. Strong, but no end product. Please replace him with Hugo.
I am not being negative, or just in a stress because we lost. I have had these concerns since the start of the season, and so far I have been proved right. Please say what you feel, but these are my opinions and if you don’t agree then fine. I’m not going to make you agree with me.
Was your cumputer also down when we beat Chelsea 3-1? :roll:
