Can’t get out of our own half against the mighty Boreham Wood.

Watched the last 20 minutes of their game against Maidenhead on Saturday, they got battered. Maidenhead played it on the floor and passed it round them with ease. When they went long boreham woods three defenders easy won the ball.

 

if we go long we are in trouble. 

Sad thing is we will go long and probably only scrape a draw at best. When on earth was our last goal from open play?

We will be the favourites due to our size (weird that!!) and support.

 

The set of players we have can't deal with being favourites. 

They will seize up and falter if we have a big playoff game at home.

4th

8th.

I’d be very surprised to see anything beyond 9-9.5k.

Good idea. Can't go and even if I could, I wouldn't really relish watching this team. They will absolutely shit the bed in front of a big crowd. 

Will donate what I would spend on a day out watching Latics to Frank's cause. What a man, btw.

Does he play in midfield?

A trombone sound? Yeah I hope so.

Fuck me you're right mate. I've been thinking we're heading towards the Premier League as well. I feel a bit silly now.

Womp womp.

Nothing worse than a negative Nancy saying I told you so.

 

You say we are shit every week… sometimes you are right, but you’ve been mostly wrong. 
 

 

I’ve been right for over 5 years. 
 

Thing is, I thought we would make the play offs only to inevitably fail.

However, I can’t even see us making them now.

I have been panned, constantly on here for saying we’re at this level for a while. 
 

Have you all woken up now?

With the money that has been spent this is an absolute disgrace. They should walk home.

If we fail to make the playoffs he should be dismissed.

Rumour, guesswork, assumption I reckon… 

I have heard on extremely good authority that he’s on 3.5k

If we’re committed to paying him £2.5k+ a week we might as well accept £800 per week wouldn’t you think?…..especially if as expected, there is no intention of playing him anytime over the next 17 months!

He's on more...

I think I was properly blown away once by us... Portsmouth away in September 2017. It was an absolutely fantastic performance. I've just checked back on my messages on a football group with my mates (they're mostly donny rovers sadly)...

 

"Really good half that. Better team, good football, entertaining open game. Normally I'm filled with bitter regret by this point"

"Sexy stuff this"

 

Then the messages post game are more about nearly getting hit in the head by a coin and a flying packet of polos.

 

Unfortunately, that didn't lead to consistency or success . Cheers Abdallah.

 

However success comes now, I'll be happy with it. If it's not freeflowing entertaining football that doesn't matter. And it doesn't mean we can't see lots of goals and wins.

Blackburn at home and Bradford away during that run were also very good.

If only the wheels didn't fall off...

With the money a certain Mr Nuttall is on, I can't see him leaving anytime soon...

Don't need to stay near the ground. Jubilee line to Wembley Park and you're all good.

I admire the forward planning but I don't think this is our year.

What is your overall position ? You seem to just think everything’s fine and everyone is over reacting ?

 

We are unbelievably inconsistent (consistently inconsistent). So how / why are you down playing everything? 

He always has done.

The team, on paper, wouldn’t look out of place in League 2.

So, why is it when a Dog and Duck XI turn up to BP, and play like it’s a cup final, do they turn into shrinking violets?

If the club hasn’t explored bringing in a psychologist or therapist then they are foolish. It is clear to see it is a mental issue. 

They have the talent, but in front of a big and expectant crowd at BP they can’t do it. Like, physically can’t do it. It looks like they’re running through quick sand.

It’s not right for a side that hasn’t won in god knows how long to look *that* much better than us.

A play off game at Boundary Park and we are absolutely toast.

Had chances, didn’t take them. Struggling team complete a smash and grab. A tale as old as time and not an Oldham exclusive. 
 

Thought we looked better football wise when Fondop went off as players didn’t just look to hit it long. 
 

As Mellon says even after a good win “there’s still work to do”.

 

Other results very favourable. 

That was definitely not a 'smash-and-grab.' Once again, it's another lower-ranked side outclassing us in every department. They were first to every ball, moved it more effectively, and showed a greater desire for the result - they thoroughly deserved the win.
 

There is a noticeable mental problem within the team that, for one reason or another, just can't get going when a supposed underdog rocks up at our ground.

Disgraceful performance by a team that is simply not good enough to be promoted, which is embarrassing considering the amount of money that has now been spent.

Another team coming to BP and playing out their skins. When are we going to figure out how to fucking deal with it?

Mark Kitching dropping a solid 2/10.

You don’t mean consistently do you? You mean in every game. 

Reinforces my belief they can't do it when expectations rise.

They just can't do it consistently, can they?
