Tin Hats on for the Non Moaners brigade

[tuffers#1]

Dig in & Batten down the hatches

There going to be on fire & loving the 3-0 defeat
Im off & hope its all quietened down by tueday afternoon.

INCOMING

Not loving my side losing but does prove a few of the realistic concerns some of us had with the (lack of) recruitment over summer, along with the naive view that NL = L2 in terms of quality of opposition.

Hope it's just a blip today but not confident in that. Next home game will be a marker of how things might go I reckon. Seems Sol Campbell sussed out us completely today, hope we have a plan B.

Lack of recruitment???
4 players have been signed. Last season just 2 were signed & the league was won.
The window is still open, so I trust that 1 or 2 more will come in, in the required positions.
One terrible result isn't the end of the world. Like last season a big factor in the success under JE was how the team reacted from poor performances.

Yes, lack of recruitment.

That's not creating a stronger, deeper squad than last season. It's barely replacing those we've sold off. CM was a problem last season and that's why we had to sacrifice attacking threat for an extra defender just to get over the line.

Still haven't addressed it and trying to play the same negative formation from the start of the season. As soon as a goal goes in against us we're in trouble as the attacking threat isn't there as per today.

Bare minimum one quality, battling CM needs to come in before the window shuts (ideally two as Jobi won't be recovered and fully fit for months yet) and preferably another striker with Alabi heading out on loan somewhere as he looks as ineffective as ever.

That assumes no player sales as well, far from a given so just have to keep fingers crossed there.

One game is "proof" of something?

Make sure you change your pants before you go out tonight.

[DonaldRocks]

Gorman had a decent pre season. He needs game time. Judd should start ahead of Ling. I think Widdowson will come back into this team. JMD is not as good as some people were thinking. Marvin and Happe are not the finished articles. Ross needs a few months to sort things out. Remember, We played hoof ball football for the last few months of last season and we need to have a plan B.

A good reply and bang on the nail.

Not really. I don't think anyone has said that the squad is set in stone and that's what we have for the remainder of the season. From listening to Gsahw you'd think that was the case. And the usual dig about player sales. What's that about?

There is no harm in seeing what the current squad could achieve as long as recruitment or and tactical decisions are made at the appropriate times. So for me the issue is less that the squad is not as deep as last season and more about what decisions we will make before the transfer window closes.

Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring

I’m 33 in a few months and I just hope that the Os sign a decent central midfielder before my time on this earth is up.

The sooner we get an experienced manager who's the stand out number one in authority the better, in my opinion, instead of an inexperienced interim manager closely followed by two others in the pecking order.
No matter how you look at it, this was a dreadful result today.

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

On the bright side, we seem to have something in common with those on the Macclesfield fans forum. Rethinking expectations for the season.

Walking back to the station, a bloke behind me went...”did we win 3-0 or 4-0? 3-0? f*cking hell, we won a game 3-0, it’s a miracle!”

The dig is we're happy to sell but not at bringing in the numbers or quality to compete at a higher level than last season. That's not a dig at the new signings but rather the Alabi situation, lack of CM reinforcements and so on.

3 weeks until the window closes then the squad is set until January. Tick tock Mr Ling, don't screw up the CM signing like you did last summer...

On their forum someone was trying to remember when they last won 3-0 at home. Embarrassing or what.

One goal scored in the last 5 competitive matches ( e.g, one cup final and 4 league games ) using the present formation.

I’m willing to bet we field the same formation next league game too.

Gorman doesn't address a need in the team though, i.e. he isn't a quality mobile defensive midfielder. He is more of a complementary player.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

From what ive seen, he’s barley a player.
