Just Back

Good Post Croxton
Come on MJ learn from this today and believe in what we can and the players in the right positions can do

I mean they could just not act like a bunch of dickheads. It's always somebody else's fault and "Town fans never cause trouble" etc etc.

They certainly were dickheads and no excuse implied by my comment. You, however, appear to be a straw man kinda guy.

Had 2 town fans scrapping with each other behind me today.

Not good at all but very common in grounds all around the country

Nearly kicked off near me when a Ronnie Kray impersonator tried to goad a guy who simply asked him politely to walk on instead of blocking his view. Credit to the seated guy who maintained his cool throughout.

For two seasons, Cambridge have tried a similar compaction tactic by sheeting down whole sections causing even small groups or families to separate in search of seats.. On the first occasion I asked a rather nervous young female steward to trot down to the front and ask her boss to allow her to uncover another section. He obliged so we could watch a shocking performance in relative comfort.

One or two of our prominent 'lads' were being spoken to by the Police as we left. Hopefully they will give Salford a miss.

Well.....that was dog poo for most of the match....when i saw the team with Hewitt in the centre i had concerns, absolutely in no way does he bring anything to that position at all, proven it on a couple of occassions already so why Jolley went that way again i dont know.
Gibson, Whitehouse, Hewitt all pretty much kneecapped by the formation and it took Jolley far too long to react and when he did an already floundering Hewitt was almost immediately mugged at full back allowing their winger all the time in the world to fire in a perfect cross for their second.

Just as we were turning our thoughts to the M62 traffic and a mardy journey home Cook ( a little cameo bright spot of the afternoon) pounces on Hansons air shot and fires home....consolation but still mardy....holy sh!t ... Ludwig gets on a long punted free kick ....jeeeez ...how have we got back in this ???  Ogbu very sneakily ( well blatantly ) blocking off Wheater givng Ludwig the freedom.

Whilst trying to take positives....the team kept fighting til the very end, Jolley eventually saw the problem and rectified it, whilst playing very poorly we still had a few good chances to score in the game other than the goals we did...good vocal support.

Thought Oldham had some very bright players on the ball, several players capable of breaking through the lines and advancing the ball quickly which we really didnt have until Cook came on. Without some cynical defending and taking yellows we could have been dead and buried.

On paper a game we should of won, in reality a game we should have lost....so shouldnt grumble about a point away.

If you're gonna scrap behind anyone, behind Hagrid's back is a good place to do it though. He's booked to stand ringside at Caesar's Palace facing the crowd.

Can’t believe how bad that first 80 minutes was. Oldham were robbed. Good to come back again. This team certainly never give up, but it would be nice to score first for once!

Not a good game but did well to get something from it.
Real lack of legs in the middle. Hess is fine but Whitehouse and Hewitt really struggle to get up and down. They both should’ve been off at half time. Whitehouse hasn’t really impressed for me so far, he’s very one paced and doesn’t appear to have the ability to knit the play together in that attacking midfield role. The one thing he does do well is get himself in goalscoring positions.

I’d have Hess, Clifton and Cook as my 3.

Word for the stewarding, it was awful, aggressive and pointless. Not opening the bottom seats was just a recipe for disorder. It meant that those who’d been late in from the pub where stood up on the stairs and it caused friction between the Town fans.
