yarddog73 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Got to say that's probably the worst home performance I've seen in many a year all things considered, it was a fucking horror show from minute one with effectively two holding midfielders and a bag of cement upfront. As a pundit Scholes ripped Mourinho to shreds for playing the same negative formation he himself saw fit to play against the mighty Shrimpers tonight who let's face it are shite but had heart and desire of warriors unlike our wet farts who went down without a whimper. Season probably over now and that is a huge disappointment given we'd seen an upturn on the gate for the last three games. Final point - where the fuck are these loanees - farcical situation signing players who can't even play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It’s still not over! But we prob pretty much sit where we did at this point in the first half of the season results need to improve ! And improve fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Shocking result and a shocking manner of defeat. Conceding an early goal is bad enough but to equalise and then let it slip again is unforgivable. I can understand the selections with Lang injured and Dearnley and Maouche not being 100% fit, but it's a huge disappointment that some of those backup players had the chance to step up and couldn't. Obviously we'll still have a go at the playoffs but now should be (and probably will be) who we want to retain and who can we bring in for a promotion push next season. The rest of the season should give Scholes the chance to understand what is needed. The league isn't great at all so if the recruitment and retention is right there should be nothing stopping us from challenging at the top.

mickjagger Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Think people are getting carried away we were never going to reach the play off's, i wanted an experienced manager but let's get behind him he now has time to assess the squad and hopefully investment will follow in the summer KTF Edited February 19, 2019 by mickjagger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) we got what we deserved again. Total absence of a midfield. What's happening with Fane? route one would be nice, like George did first half run at defenders, get a shot off, get lucky with e rebound. grrr..no one runs through to the D. I like the look of their no 26 and 27 and I don;t know who weaved past two of our defenders on our goal line to set up their win I know Scholes is a week in but on the balance, Pete Wild seems to be better.

yarddog73 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Honestly think we'd be no worse off with Frankie Dull and he'd of probably of brought in two or three in the window who could of made us better and actually been able to play.

Gaz_Oafc Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Absolutely awful. Our keepers just got MOM at home to fucking Morecambe... Kevin Ellison is about 58 years old and took the piss, out sprinting our players time and time again... We had two defensive midfielders and their right back strolled through the centre of the pitch whenever he fancied it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archiecat Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Only thing to do is put all these Frenchlads on a boat,set off from Dover and sink the bloody thing. Absolute shite from the lot of them,that doesn't by any means let the other dummies escape criticism,they were almost as bad and Scholes too had a shocker. Fourth division and dreadful, Rock bottom has been reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morecambe_Red Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Kevin is 40 years old on Saturday ! 27 is Liam Mandeville and 26 I think is Jordan Cranston. As a Shrimps fan I wasn't expecting that tonight. I suspect our wage bill is probably the lowest in League 2 and our manager works wonders.

Hunt Stott Sylla Missalou O'Grady Branger Any of these players would be lucky to make Saturdays squad in my opinion. I'd rather we played some youth players who would at least show some desire to be a footballer. Some performance that for a manager only a week into the job, only really Iverson, Nepo and Baxter come out of the game with any real credit, rest of them were shite. Thanks for the info, Bury is a big match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Poor recruitment in January hurting us, to not find adequate replacement for Surridge and another centre back to let Clarke take a breather was ridiculous really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your positivity and hope the last part of your post comes to pass. I agree with you regarding the back up players, they are poor to be brutally honest and Scholes needs to offload a good number in my opinion when the time comes. Tonight should have been three points for us, no excuses, I don't care if Morecambes tails were up from their Port Vale result, that game should have been won and convincingly so. The exact opposite happened and that worries me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must struggle with how United have turned it round with a manager who never moves on the touchline. Just because he's a big name doesn't mean he can inspire players. That's what showed tonight to me and on Saturday. His team selection was totally unbalanced and he never changed anything after going a goal down when it was obvious the formation wasn't working. Two holding midfielders getting in each others way all the time was a prime example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
