miamiwhite Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I thought we just needed to change the formation Put your fishing rod away. Quote
captainmed Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 3-0 flattered us. Hapless. Body language awful. No talking, no leadership, no game plan, nothing. Need to win one of the next 2 home games. We haven't even been unlucky yet, and it's 2 points from 6 games. Well beaten in all 4 defeats. Quote
Marc505 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 We're playing teams that are interchangeable with at least 10 of the current Premier League. Harsh division this. Quote
Underpants Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Pissed off obviously. But all things considered I'm not as pissed off as I would have been years ago. I'll take 2nd from bottom now. Quote
hughmungus Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 No plan, no idea and at the moment no chance of staying up. Just hope Anderson isn’t another one to hold onto a manager with limited ideas at this level. Was looking for something to give me hope today but even with the help of beer there isn’t any. Swift return to Div One whilst not a bad thing is how the season will pan out folks. Quote
stevieb Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I think this must be the worst 2nd tier side we've ever had, it's certainly worse than the one that got relegated 18 months ago. It was shit today but that is bullshit. That team under Lennon just couldn't be arsed. At least they half tried today. Quote
Guest Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Some strange decisions I thought today from Parky. Our best weapon is Morais' right foot, but he was on the left. The like-for-like sub when we needed 2 upfront. So.............is it the players or the manager? Quote
Ghana White Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Dominated in every department but we still gave them 3 goals and the only won 3 nil. If we could just do the simple things well that would make a big difference. Quote
enzo gambaro Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I can't be arsed trawling through - are we still pretending the club captain isn't an absolute fucking shyster? Quote
kent_white Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Did anybody else notice the anti fracking protesters on the roundabout on their way in today? Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Funny old game probably best second half performance for a while but biggest home defeat so far Felt better having Alnwick and wheater back The Everton lad was woeful Roll on Tuesday Funny how we see things differently. I thought Robinson did pretty well. That lad was as fast as anyone I've seen in a long while, and solid with it. They had free reign to stroke the ball about as our midfield was static. Morais offered nothing on the wrong side in support and it was quite easy for them to pick their way through. Its clear where our problems lie, a midfield that can barely string two passes together and lack dynamism. Noone looked OK at times in the first half, but those three in the middle offered so little. That being said the tactics were clear but it played into their hands. I though Madine did well, did everything that was asked of him but with precious little support. Quote
clown Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 I can't be arsed trawling through - are we still pretending the club captain isn't an absolute fucking shyster? Pratley is indeed a fraud. It does hurt me to say that, as I like the lad's effort and it's not his fault he's captain. No mention of the wonderful Bolton Belles? Met a couple before the match. Yes please. Quote

enzo gambaro Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Robinson's strength is clearly going forward. He was up against a decent player today but he looked like a twelve year old. More worrying was the reluctance on anyone else's part to help him through a difficult game. Quote
DomRepWanderer Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Losing games against the likes of Boro and Derby, Leeds won't relegate us as they'll be too good for around half a dozen teams, it's the mini league at the bottom we have to compete in, still think theres 3 worse than us. Quote
BWFC_LOVE Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Left early for the first time in a good twenty years. Difference in squad value aside, and while I'll admit there's slightly more effort in us this time around, Boro were allowed to casually knock it about 25 yards out with very little pressure throughout. I thought Karacan looked like a real prospect last season. He's been massively ineffective thus far. I don't see what he offers. Not sure if it was the preference of the players, but I can't help but feel Noone and Morais could've offered a lot more if they were playing on opposite flanks. Cullen looked better than Derik; we seemed to get the ball down a bit more when he came on. Would be tempted to give Turner a chance in goal. The third was a howler, from my view 100 yards away at least. Was our plan to grind out a 0-0, as there was no one within 15 yards of Madine all game? Quote

Good pace and will rarely have a tougher ride. He tried to carry the ball a few times, sometimes lost it, but at least he tried. I fear Taylor would have been destroyed because of a lack of pace. Like you said no one seems to take responsibility for helping out and nullifying the threat. Quote
