BP1960 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 LJ must address the lack of goals, plenty of possession means nothing if there's no end product. I have aired my thoughts many times, but been derided, so will let others come up with some ideas....fire away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 A goal difference of -6 looks terrific on paper. We don't get thrashed , we don't let lots of goals in .....but we score so very few that one is often enough and two is plenty to beat us. Watched our guys in pre match warm up and they all bury shot after shot giving the keeper no chance ......yet composure and calmness vanishes come kick off.

Latics_Fanatic Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Saw it coming, I suspect we all did, same tactics Saturday same result IMO. Sounded like we were unlucky not to get a point. Came within a post and a saved penalty of scoring. That said, all we're lacking is that striker with the cutting edge, who can pounce on chances. The Rooney miss late on (from 6 yards out) was a shocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Em undecided on Rooney he is defiantly a decent player for this level, he has proven it elsewhere but if he is our highest earner and is sitting on the bench and when coming on misses 2 clear cut chances to grab us a point it is not good enough. This has been going on for a while now. A club of our size cannot have its highest earner as an ineffective fringe player it is just not an option. Best for both parties if we move on in my opinion.

OneSizeFitz Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yes, it wasn't from open play, if you are happy with odd goal keep on clapping. I'd have been distinctly happy with a last-minute equaliser, and a very good point away at Walsall. Seemingly, you wouldn't have been.

The Rooney miss late on (from 6 yards out) was a shocker. i'm sorry i don't buy this talk from many posters that 'all we lack is that poacher' Why it the answer always to get in ANOTHER striker? We have 4 good strikers who will all (and have) scored goals, C Mac tonight nipped in but was/wasnt offside....poaching For me as has been the issue in recent years we do too much arty farty build up play with the odd goal and not enough on pass-edge of box-shot-goal like Mantom tonight Rest of the team need to be far more aggressive and forward thinking, on set pieces as well Not enough being done all round to score goals and get on the end of things and make it a goal - where is the surging ala Gary Mac runs from Korey backing up the front players?? Come on LJ, its in there somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Rooney...get rid.....Warren Feeney in disguiseNah he's not warren feeney bad He's in the same league as Carlo corrazin clearly a trier but isn't putting the thing in the back of the net consistently enough I think we all thought he would be Luke Beckett Lee Hughes good.

Hands on Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 The one thing Rooney has done well is to take the odd penalty. As other clubs are interested in him, the failure to convert this penalty suggests that he needs a fresh start and we all know we need more goals. Simply could not take the pressure - it was an immense moment for him and he bottled it, confidence will be shot now. LJ can keep him but why would he? Port Vale and Peterborough to come...........
