He has probably found some ‘freshness’ !

Pleased to hear Neil say he is going to play his strongest team for the remainder of the season to see how many points we can get, pity he hasn’t done it earlier, but then again he said we would play attacking entertaining football at the start of the season so hope he doesn’t back track this time.
I was talking to him after yourself Mick, and he told me that after a management meeting with Mussa, he had changed his mind about picking his best team because both Oldham and Tuesdays teams are both on losingn runs and are well overdue wins, so they are to continue playing at least five players that have done nothing during marches, in order to assess if they can be given another two year contracts in June. Cox says that some of his players must have a lot of football in them, because none as come from yjem this season!!!
Come on, MKI – get serious!

0-2 to Oldham. 7 shots for us and Neil to say we didn’t pass the ball well enough.

Match ended with Scunny scoring a 93td min equalizwer to make it 1-1. This being a fair result, after Scunny shading the first half, then not turning iop for the first 35 mins of the second half.
HOWARD—5–Not a lot to do, no real saves of note, should have done better with their goal.
ROWE—6—Looked safe enough, a few good crosses.
BEDEAU—7—I thought he played well today, better than normal.
CLARKE—8—My MOM today, got through a lot of work, and better in midfield than full back.
BROWN—5—Far to many back passes, a few miss placed passes, prefer O’Malley.
GILLIEAD—7–Some very good quick runs by him, a slow starter today.
KARACAN—6—Played ok until a first half injury, hope he is fit soon.
SPENCE—7—Played well.
GREEN—7—Fast, but lacks finnishing touch, needs to practice finishing runs.
KVV—7—After a poor start, put in many very good set piece crosses, subbed instead of LOFT.
LOFT—6—Tried hard without much impact but got very little support up front.McAtee looked lively, and maybe time for a start.
BEESTIN—6—Played ok when brought on.
Hammil–6–Not on long, scored a goal and then injured, looks a ad one possibly.REF—7—Was ok, but must swat up on the advantagerule, he played advantage many times, and then the team kept possession he blew up, why, why, why.
COX—5—Where was the attacking that he was going to order, maybe just the last 10 mins, Oldham are a poor team, and one win in nine matches backs up that statement, but only one point from the home game, and a last min one at that, this guy will never manage a team that plays attacking football, season ticket sales will not top 200 next season with this management team in charge
Another easy match on Saturduy with another very poor team in Southend, I hope that Cox plays attacking football against them, I am very sure that he will!!!!!

Law of averages kicking in with these recent draws against teams we should have probably beaten, yeah we can moan about Cox and his tactics etc etc etc but we were due a few draws and these things invariably even themselves out over a season. Main thing is we probably won’t need 50 points now to be 100% safe ( I think most of us know we already are ) but just feast your eyes a few miles eastbound along the M180 and imagine how our fishy friends are feeling, in fact don’t imagine just nip on their forum and read. Most of them are on the verge of cutting their own throats ( or gills ) tonight, so let’s be grateful for what we have at GP now after such a poor run up till Xmas. Cox has struggled at times that is true but his playing squad is mainly inexperienced and his senior players have been mainly injured or not fully fit. Cox himself is learning as he goes along in his first job so it’s probably time we cut him a bit more slack and chopping and changing managers hasn’t worked out too well for us in recent years so let’s give this lad a fair crack and hopefully next season won’t feel so traumatic. I’ll put my tin hat on and wait for BS to pass his sever judgement on this post but in truth I don’t give a shit what he says anyway, it’s just an opinion.

On reflection after reading IA’s post I was probably a little harsh on Cox in another thread, he has done enough to keep us up and we are in a better position than the cods, but he does need to try to play more attacking football now the injury situation has improved and stop worrying too much about the opposition. Let’s hope we see some exciting football as he gets more experienced.
