The attitude should be that the whole 'Cup final mentality' of the opposition should be a compliment to Latics and the club, not a fucking handicap.

Of course they can win, they just have to behave like a team of footballers and not incompetent strangers. It's 50/50 really, isn't it?

Or water off a duck's back, more likely.

That's a testament to your faith in the team.

He might be worth £500M but it doesn't mean he will plough endless cash into the club, it seems he has a stability plan similar to the Rothwells.

Not if he got a better quality of service in the higher leagues, which I suspect he did. We can all speculate about player-targets the club needs, getting them to sign is another thing altogether. Some of the deadwood will still be here next season.

We was their cup final, the tossers. Predicting Halifax 3-4 Chesterfield.

Fucking social media [and I obviously use it] must be one of the most misused technical tools we have at our disposal. Norwood is a professional, will pose with the fans and partake in off-field duties. What more can we ask of him..apart from putting the ball in the opponents net? I couldn't give a fuck about his demeanour on the pitch as it may help to put the fear of god up the opposition. I admit, I reacted negatively to a post regarding Norwood a short while ago but after reading it back, realised I had been taken-in by the very social media shite I hate so much. There we go, we are all susceptible at times. The point is, before the all-consuming media hatred washed over society, a brief paragraph may have been all we got in the 'Chron. No dissection, no insinuations or calling into question someone's character, just a brief mention and possibly the reason why. Then we all forgot about it, rather than being like a fucking dog with bone.

Solihull win and Gateshead v Alty a draw. Latics win at the Dags.

I don't have an issue with people having more than one username, it's when they start talking to themselves that worries me. I didn't watch the game today as I am in the middle of a health issue and a family loss but from what I have read and the gaffer's post-match interview, it sounds like the lads gave a good performance. I called a 2-2 draw earlier on this thread, shame Dallas couldn't convert his chance but that's football for you. Anyone know the attendance by any chance?

Are you surprised?

Emphasising the strange ambiguity of this league, Wealdstone, one place above the relegation zone and having four games in hand on Southend, would be in tenth and above Southend had they played and won them all.

I'm still plumping for a draw, which will frustrate the hell out of Chesterfield, although I'm confident the playing style will give everybody a sore neck.

They won't win.

We've matched them performance wise?

No surprise though. Seventh place probably the most we can hope for or a miraculous run of wins.

Can't be any worse than the stats from Saturday, can it?

Who play teams like Kidderminster, who then make us look bang average. Figure that one out.

I think they offer a good counterbalance to the hysteria [me included] of the forums.

I would certainly give that line-up/formation a try. Pace and experience.

A relief that I don't have the stress of yet another hoof-ball horror show and no confidence that pitch will ever be fit to play football on it. Could be out of the playoff zone by the end of play tomorrow.

I was referring to personnel, as you mentioned Mellon keeps picking the same players. I'm struggling to think who we have which will make a difference.

Go on then, BP, name an alternative line-up [subs included] without any youth team additions.

If true, he needs to think about how much money he chugging in compared to a lot of hard working people and get the fuck on with it.

Yes. https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2024/march/04032024-paul-murray-interview/
