He just couldn't help it could he..

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Not a dig but only putting what we all thinking..

We only got a draw once he stopped playing our defensive midfielder on the wing and actually playing the players in there positions whether some like it or not.

Im not arsed who ticks crosses or whatever tbf..

Have a good night all.  

Not all, SausageBoy! When you have a player injured then you have to make a change. If you feel that the opposing team has a player or set-up then you may have to change to nullify that. MJ is learning all the team and the fact that he changed when the system wasn't working demonstrates that. As much as some posters don't like it , some combinations can only be tried in real match conditions. It's ok trying something on the training pitch but when an attacker trains and plays against a defender all week long then he pretty well knows what's coming. The opposition are, to a degree, an unknown quantity. You try something , it doesn't work, you learn and try something else. This is how a team evolves and a manager gains experience.

Well that's TOTW sorted  

Exactly! Now where is that bratwurst.

Love it how the usual 6 year old comments come out by the same old bores.

Whoever doesn't admit jolley starting whitehouse left wing on saturday was bizarre is a liar, listen we got our goals and  90th minute equaliser AFTER changing it and taking whitehouse off the wing and playing him in the middle.

I couldn't care less who has a go at me with ancient material as there brain cant engage properly, i honestly couldn't give a toss.

I stand by it that we started all wrong with players in whitehouse and Hewitt playing in there wrong positions and our performance showed it whether some like it or not and we would never have got a point if we carried on, we changed it playing players in there best position and we got a draw.

Anyone who was at the game with a brain cell or watched it will say we were shite until we changed it.

Red Cross this or have cheap childish digs or whatever turns you on i couldn't care less but i only put what anyone at that game was thinking.

Jolley has been praised recently and rightly so but yesterday until he changed it ge got it massively wrong.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

lets not make him into another Hurst and drive him away.

Let's not fall for the Fenty propoganda machines party line that it all the toxic fans fault (the same illegitimates who put there hard earned into keeping the club afloat week on week).

From the horses mouth Hurst was promised more staff to make us a more professional outfit and said promises were broken and all he got was a sh!tty probably renovated porta cabin. I'd call that primary evidence and hence the truth.

A dishonourable action breaking the bond of trust and ahorrendous intercourse up when we finally on an upward trajectory. From a surprising outsider for a playoff spot in early stages of first season back to, aided by further disastrous decision making, us almost nosediving back into the abyss and possible extinction.

But yeah it could only be the nasty ungrateful fans fault. The current custodians done nothing short of a grand job if they do say themselves.

Or perhaps Hurst thought the packed out section of 4 and a half thousand supporters roaring on his side and chanting they his black and white army over and over made him think, 'you know what, balderdash to them cretins I'm off' 🤔

Playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday (Wednesday 😎) some rotation is going to be required - certain players had knocks as well which ties hands some more. Jolley has said he has no set formation and may change it to suit from time to time (or maybe even the suit the personell available) but clearly shoehorning players into the team and square pegs in round holes was a bit of a gaffe.

Playing Whitehouse on the wing when we've finally got an actual left winger in the squad in Max Wright a strange one, then of course the Hewitt/Hendrie/Gibson conundrum.

Hopefully lessons have been learned like it appears they have been for errors last season, still a rookie manager learning his way. At least he did change and fix things, albeit belatedly, and we just got out of jail.

Think Robson will be quiet useful once he all greased up and firing on all cylinders.

But then I didn't attend to have the anger from being thoroughly un-entertained for 80 minutes...

You keep saying you don't care but then keep responding to those who respond to your rants.  

To be honest I think there's some merit in what you say, although I'm not sure to the extent that you were upset about it.  Jolley did tinker a little bit too much for my liking and has done since he arrived.  Injuries/knocks to Green and Cook are accepted, you have to work with what you've got on the day.  But the persistence with trying Hewitt in midfield is an idea that needs knocking on the head.  Far more suited at right-back as an individual but also with the balance it offers, not to mention his ability to deliver crosses from deep.

Jolley, to his credit, did get it right when he brought Cook on but even then he put Hewitt at left-back, the same flank where Oldham's second goal came from (numerous other errors and lapses of concentration involved in that goal too).

The Hewitt issue aside, Jolley made a change which got a point.  We showed character and guts, despite not playing well.  I don't think anyone had a good game on Saturday.  Even the usual suspects of Hessenthaler, Hanson....all seemed to struggle, it doesn't matter what system or set-up you go with if most of your team aren't at the races.  But give me a side that can pull a draw out of the bag like that any day of the week.  They're the type of sides that succeed in the long run.  Let's focus on that as a positive.

Some of your comments might have been fair if you'd tempered the rest of it and waited until 90 minutes to verbally spaff all over the forum.

Unfortunately, you didn't and the rest is history.

All I'll say is that having seen Oldham take us apart at home last season, I'll take a point away any day of the week. And so would most.

I don't understand the comment: "A league 2 manager trying to be a premier league manager."

Don't all League Two Manager have aspirations to manage at the highest level possible?

Is it referring to the changes to the line-up? Is it only premier league managers that are allowed to make changes to a team?
