Don't how Tony is getting the blame here, everyone seemed pretty happy with team. Getting out fought, and we are so slow with possession. Dack was been poor

2 weeks ago TM said in an interview, the players know exactly what is required of them now and he hardly needs to tell them, motivate them before the start of a game! Make of that what u want. 

Im a strong believer u still HAVE to motivate the players before each game!

sub warming up but can't see who

Travis 

[Exiled in Toronto]

Who was geeing up the others after the second went in? Where are the leaders in this shower? Where’s our Hawkins, Heaton or Hickman? Our two promotion teams from this div would hammer this team

[Gogger]

Armstrong and Travis coming on, at least its not Samuel

[Roboftherovers82]

watch shrewsbury  get  outplayed again and nick a  2-1 win

Oldham have lost their last 5 away games and only won once away all season. Incredible 

I don't blame mowbray. It's the @#/?ing players. 

Nobody can explain this performance.

[Gogger]

Smallwood off, and we still have Bell on the left ving.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Travis is on for Smallwood and Armstrong for Downing 

So what formation does that leave us with?

[dinglebasher]

This is similar to the beginning of the season - bring new players in, play them in the wrong positions and the team, as a result, looks shambolic. 

We’ve just got to hope that history repeats itself and they quickly get back to winning ways. 

[Tom]

Travis has gone to right back and Nyambe in the middle surely the logic was Williams central and bell left back with Travis in midfield 

edit maybe it's 3 at the back with Nyambe Mulgrew and Williams

I noticed Plymouth had a couple of decent looking players last week - I wasn't sure if they were ones they'd just signed on loan during the transfer window or not.

I see this guy that's scored twice today was signed on loan from Wolves.

It seems other teams have bolstered their ranks, but I'm not sure what we did exactly . . . We didn't even replace Chapman. I look at our bench and don't see anyone that could potentially come on and change the game either.

We went (for) short (players) in the market and when that goes wrong you pay heavily.

Not really, they've caught us twice on the break and seem happy to sit back for the most part.

They are constantly stringing a series of passes together, they'll sit back now

Looking like Travis playing as a wing back?

Might as well test another formation change today.

Just hope he doesn’t ‘blame himself’ after the game.

[rhodie]

Well that run has well and truly finished.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Can we see some fight now?

It sounds like mowbray is over complicating things.

What's going on with smallwood. A few weeks ago he was the last player you would have seen been taken off

Kevin Gallagher just tweeted that our "defensive counter attacking system" isn't working

Let that sink in. 

 

Exactly that.  Worst performance by a country mile and expected as soon as 5 defenders in line up. Garbage

 

And don't try and tell me Bell is a winger

[Tugay's Right Foot]

That was almost 3-0

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Meh. Lack of height options are killing us at both ends. Been obvious all season.

From Oldham? Yes.

[K-Hod]

Looks like Chaddy will be getting his wish for 3 at the back with Travis and Bell as wing backs...

I couldn’t care less about formations at this point, more not being as hideous as we were in that first half this half....

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

We are trying to attack with full backs as wingers... And it shows.   We've been sussed.  Keep Dack quiet, we offer nothing.

Somebody told Balaji that when the magnetic North and South Poles reverse there will be a short time in-between when players with a lower centre of gravity will be worth a fortune

[Tugay's Right Foot]

In the few short minutes, Travis already looks a player.

This was tried at the start of the season and did not work!!!
