I vote mcf86 never starts a match thread on this new forum again ?
I also managed to stay until the end.
What a fecking shambles, from start to finish to post match managerial crap-spouting.
I thought we were bad against Doncaster and were lucky to win, by all accounts Rochdale was awful, we were lucky in the rubbish cup - this result is sadly not a real surprise, but the sheer awfulness of the performance was an eye-opener. We gifted them goals as if it was Christmas, with the usual rotten passing along the back to blame (and there were more that weren't punished - so let's not have the 'every time they attacked they scored' excuse), hardly made a tackle, had our first shot after more than an hour and looked as if we were a non-league outfit facing a prem team.
And then for Clotet to spout nonsense about us being a 'young team', to say that we were on the front foot at the start of the game (in the first 10 minutes we conceded three corners before conceding the first goal), to say the team would learn (yeah, right!) and to shrug his shoulders and say 'these things happen' (umm. No. This was a record home defeat. It has NEVER happened before) - is all completely unacceptable.
It is time for Eales to sh!t or get off the pot. If he is going to sell the club - sell it. If he isn't then he needs to decide what to do about the poor squad and drastically underachieving manager. Fast.
I have not seen a worse display from an OUFC team in decades of support, that I had family with me who were coming to see 'what the fuss is all about' - made things even worse. I was embarrassed, ashamed and bloody angry, yet at the same time we in the North stand enjoyed some 'gallows humour' clapping and cheering ferociously when we had a corner!! Rows of people must have thought there was a fire drill and were streaming out at 'only' 3-0!! It really was pathetic, and listening to clot head on Radox didn't help my mood at all, the man's delusional and a fantasist. One thing he's not, a manager. At most clubs in our division he'd be on his bike, instead I wouldn't be surprised if another trip to Spain wasn't in the offing in the new year. Fcking livid.
I think today was an insight into the team which we 'could' have been had Appleton stayed. Hungry, high pressing, physical and quick - Wigan were all of those things today and i believe that we could have been had we retained the core of the team and the spirit which we have had in the last few years as well as the manager. Watching Dunkley fit seamlessly into their side showed that we weren't far off and yet we have gone back a long way in a short space of time. I don't just blame Clotet, the funds have been turned down to a minimum, the recruitment process has altered beyond recognition and the only 'signings' we will be making in January are those returning from injury. Eales has checked out emotionally and financially and it's this which is affecting the club right now. The sooner the club can be sold to a new custodian the better as far as i am concerned. Thanks for the memories DE but it's time to move on.
How many shots did we have on target?
I bet that was Wigans easiest game of the season today and I can deal with losing if I feel our lads gave their all. Yet again today they were gutless in my view and I cannot accept that!
When the first goal went in I noticed a couple of our players kneeled down pretending to be messing with their boots. To me they looked like they had already chucked it which is not acceptable...

Well I'm back in Chester now after a 300 mile round trip and 6 hours in a car today and I still think it was s**t!
