No, but anyone could do a better job then this bloke!!

You are so full of **** steve. I’m annoyed at myself that I keep biting, but Jesus

 

[Danshrimper]

Zzzzzz

No, but anyone could do a better job then this bloke!!

You do need to prove this.

 

[in the know]

Think I'd agree
2 points lost there against a really bad team

 

[NZamba Legend]

Should have won that.

 

[Shrimper95]

We just look like we’re not gonna score again this season.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

We need to sign Simpson!

 

[stopwhispering]

Really disappointed we didn’t win that but surely even MM’s biggest critic has to give credit about how hard we are to beat. Just need to get the balance right and get some goals!

 

[Strykr]

Really sad that. Truly feels like we never ever try to win a game.

 

[ms brush]

Good we picked up a point, substitutions baffling and 2 points dropped.

 

[GrumpyBlue]

We won't stay up by keeping trying to draw every game!

Correct

 

[Strykr]

Stop the presses - a manager supports his players when speaking publicly!

I'm sure we'd be a lot better off if he went "nah we're crap, never going to score", would have done the players a lot of good.

Actions speak louder than words and it's very obvious from his actions that he wanted to bring in a target man up top, and for whatever reason a deal never happened.

See post 596

 

[Russ.K]

Oldham were there for the taking. Decent chances to win the game, not taken. Strange subs, long throws with no target man or striker on the pitch!

 

[GNH]

Martin has dropped this club to this standard, unable to sign better players. I don't blame MM for that, but his usage of the tools available today is questionable.

This 100%.

What a strange coincidence that over the past 4-5 seasons we have had a load of crap managers, all of whom have not had the abilitiy to sign any decent players or build a team between them.

It's almost as if there was some overeaching reason for this and making us be seen as the last place you would want to end up as a player.

Can't think of anything off the top of my head.......

 

[amsemp]

If we’d kept Humphrys and Kelman I reckon we’d be way, way up the league by now. Not having a proper goal scorer this season has killed us

 

[ESG]

Spirited display and better than a defeat but some of those final deliveries into the box were appalling to say the least.

Nothing less than 6 points from the two home games or we are screwed it think.

 

[in the know]

Dullest commentator I've heard.
wheres the shadow from the sun!

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Any clown praising that needs to go down the glue factory .... incidentally Oldham’s first clean sheet at home all season ... I hate MM he is taking this team down ... the embargo and poor squad was months ago games and games ago .... this system and set up will not keep this club in the football league

 

[Southend schoolboy]

Why on Earth did he take Emile off, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

 

[Danshrimper]

moan moan moan - we got a point. Is that not worth having then?

We’ve gone to a poor side who had loads of injuries and suspensions and drew 0-0 whilst Barrow won to drop us into the relegation zone. I think people are entitled to be frustrated.
