Win one, lose one = 3 points Two draws = 2 points 1.5 points a game is playoff form, 1 point a game is relegation form. You need to go for wins, even if sometimes it backfires.

Kewell's approach of course led to a lot more goals, but in the grand scheme of things it didn't have us in that much of a better place. But as with most managerial discussions, it doesn't really matter. There are much bigger reasons for our position and until they change we're always going to be scratching around the bottom few positions in this league.

I agree that Kewell wasn't going to get us anywhere near the playoffs, but 16th is a lot better for our long term future than 24th. Curle needs to throw a bit more caution to the wind, particularly against our fellow strugglers, if we are going to reach safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Kewell would be doing much better with the attacking options we have now to be honest. Dearnley scored a few in the early part of the season. And McAleny hasn't been replaced. Also, by the looks of things we were 22nd with 5 points after 8 matches, so only 2 places and 1 point better off than we are now under Curle. Jesus, this is like trying to decide whether to eat a dog shit sandwich or a cat shit baguette. What a time to be alive! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often criticised for being in the right place to miss decent chances for us, damned with feint praise. Even though I appreciated his effort, running, positional sense, he wasn't effective and by the end, confidence seemed to be in bits. Playing with better players cant hurt.

Magic Mikey Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Very much and that, but I bumped into Tony Bugby near the start of the London marathon today. He was running, I was supporting. Every item of his outfit had a Latics badge on it. I'm running Manchester marathon next weekend. I'm wondering about getting an Abdallah Out t-shirt. Or will the feds make me turn it inside out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Tony ran the London Marathon the day after Latics won at Millwall, he wore his Latics shirt and got pelters south of the river. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
