Just Back

After listening to Jolley's interview on the M67 it's clear that he's either told JT not to question the 'system' or JT is being too delicate. Our wing backs hardly ever take on the last defender, simply playing tippy tappy near the touchline or recycling backwards.
Vernam looks to attack the box but has to start from deep. Supply to front men is dire.
Again, the opposition attack the space behind our wing backs requiring CB's to cover. Even with the right players, this system needs forwards and midfield to move with some fluidity. Movement, control and passing were woeful.
JT is giving Jolley an easy ride but at least probed enough to get MJ to say that he may need to be 'ruthless' in deciding who has done enough to be at the club next season.
77O fans deserved much more leadership and commitment today. A certain degree of feeling sorry for ourselves during and after the game.

Why did they interview Jolley on the M67?😂😎

Have you ever know JT give any manager a hard time?

Yeah, just a really frustrating game to watch. By no means were we awful, but again, by full time we’re dealing with another defeat in which we can’t score.

I guess it’s easy to criticise the system but our strikers are just feeding off scraps. We looked good in possession but lack ideas in the final third.

It’s like we counter or just die a death passing it round while getting nowhere fast.

True enough!

We had a good chance to take the lead before their first

We came pretty close on two occasions to getting the equaliser

The only thing that really disappointed me today was the manner they scored their second goal - it looked way too easy (but that was from the view we had of it from the other end of the ground to where it went in )

All in all I’m not too despondent with what I saw. IF ( maybe that should be a big if ) we’d scored from any of the several chances we had, then the outcome could well have been different

Maybe Jolley is a bit too conservative with this style of play but he can’t be taken to task for the players not putting the ball in the net when the opportunity arises

I've heard him give Hurst and Slade a hard time maybe he's giving Jolley some latitude as the matches are now basically friendlies for town

We are pretty toothless. We try really hard but just lack a bit of star quality throughout our side.
Recently the starting 11 lacks creativity and Vernam should start. I am worried that Ring might not have the quality to be a starting player at this level.

Also I hate Oldham’s keeper, stunning save from Ohman who i had £15 on to score at 40/1  

First 44 minutes we actually looked good and made Oldham look nothing more than ordinary, then for some unknown reason Davis and RHJ swapped sides and they started to destroy down us the right flank!!...
Hate to say it but Ring looks nowhere near quick enough to be a wing back, lacks pace and very seldom puts a decent ball into the box(exception with the whipped ball in that cardwell was unlucky not to get a toe on)..
All in all we've better quality in this squad than last season but needs some serious adjustment in midfield to mount a challenge for promotion next season..
And, dare I say this, macca needs to realise his feet aren't glued to the byeline on crosses!!

I agree especially the highlighted part.

Overall I thought two poor sides and in the second half apart from one flurry in their box we were pretty dreadful.

What worries me about MJ is that he spends far too much time analysing the game and worrying about the opposition rather than letting them worry about us.

Too many players today that need to be replaced for next season, with this current squad I don't think we are anywhere near being play-off contenders.

On our current form we could end up with less points than last season and that would certainly have me questioning whether MJ has got what it takes to manage at this level.
