Terrible, gutless football. Been getting worse all March, but by God, this is the lowest.

Garner's movement for his goal, when the cross came in over him, was what got him the space. The defender didn't move with him. Good goal. Fondop's finish and workrate was very good.

Would actually substitue Shelton, despite him coming on as a sub. As others have said, he can't pass, doesn't tackle, has no positional awareness.

Really inept management performance. There was pure desperation throwing players on with no shape or structure and hoping a hoofed ball with stick and result in a goal. Dorking had our measure. Pure, pure desperation......

Tollitt should never play again. He is a dreadful player. All else I agree with.

Raglan has been fantastic in defence. Hasn't missed a header.

Great listen. Really positive and upbeat and a lot of questions covered. Hopefully, sets the tone for the season!

We'd need to recruit them first. We're at y and z currently.

Solution to our goalscoring would seem to be as simple as hanging a towel in the side net of the opposition goal! Must be something they are practising in training!

I know John Sheridan may not be the messiah (but hopefully will be!), but Lee Johnson despite how well he is doing in Barnsley (fair do) is not mentioned in a thread subject title on the first page of OWTB! And rightly so, because what epitomises Oldham for me, has returned! I know I'm stating the obvious for many who are on this site, and repeating sentiments......but I just wanted to add my positivity!! :-)

Hows about Billy Joel song, keeping the faith??

He is prone to the odd mistake - which unfortunately due to his position, means they are more costly and noticeable than other people's mistakes. But he is more prone to putting in a strong defensive performance and is an asset. Does need to be more vocal and commanding verbally - possibly his english is not great?

Ross 2509 - what the hell!?!?!?! What game were you watching, I can't believe the statement you made. I too was very concerned about the selection of Tarkowski and Brown! I don't know where to begin - Mvoto had a mare.........what was he doing for both goals - Tarkowski looked like the senior central defender and was brilliant throughout. Connor Brown was about 2 leagues above Wabara - he can defend AND attack! This is his third game since Wabara left and he is a serious prospect. Jonathan Grounds, is and has been the best and most consistent player all year long. Lee Croft was brilliant tonight and defended as well as he attacked. Up front we were ok, but when Matt Smith came on, it was a total different game. TP played a blinder making the changes when they needed to be made and was unlucky not to get the win. Paul Dickov was immense and epitomised the feverish support shown by true Oldham fans, whatever their relationship to the club!! Oldham were a team tonight and justice was served!!
