deyres42 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 If they get out of the pickle they are in then Hill deserves the freedom of the borough and the Wheatsheaf renaming in his honour. Absolute million to stay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be the opposite with players not giving 100% so they don't get injured and miss playing at Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an absolute miracle for them to stay up which I want them to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as it stands I want Bury and Dale to continue to struggle as it means we are that bit more likely to survive. Just being realistic. Nope, it's not going to happen and as you say, the more the teams at that end struggle, bar Latics of course, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like turning very cold over the weekend in to next week and the cold spell may last a couple of weeks. So all teams without undersoil heating may get postponements for frozen pitches.

palmer1 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I don't quite get this admiration that some Oldham fans have for Hill at Dale. They are bottom of the league and have been relegated from lg1 on more than one occasion. If any Oldham manager past or present had his current record they would be baying for his blood.

He's consistently developed and replaced players who have gone on to play at that oft talked about 'higher level'. I'd say a difference between us and them is supporter expectation.

If the difference between us and them is expectation then is he failing or have we been over achieving? We have consistently sold youngsters for £500k without ever kicking a ball in the first team. As consistently as they have produced players at any rate give or take 1 or 2 Our chairman has made poor decisions but our managers cant be blamed for that can they? Hill doesn't dictate income to the club so why give him credit for the money they received in fees?
