Hope Fondop is given a contract. Not sure about Green as he has had a lot of time out injured. Same with Gardner but he was one of the players putting effort in in last few games. Of those still on contract I cannot see Garner wanting to leave as at his age it is probable last season he will get anywhere. Would lke to see Norwood stay but he he will probably leave with other offers. Interesting article i paper today about Mulin at Wrexham who said Mellon had no time for him when at Tranmere. MM says he knows a what godd is

What a shambles. How are Halifax going to have their pitch playable for Saturday as well as two more midweek games prior to final day of the season. If thay are unable to play at home this Saturday what happens their games? Point deduction surely with points given to their oppononets. Additionally if we are going to play them on the Thursday Halifax need a plan B well in advance so all the ucertaintity is at least dealt with. Puts us at a disadvantage too as we may play only two days prior to final game which has an early kick off

Halifax at home postponed today. They will be having a build of games in the run in

Hopefully the illness in the squad has now gone, as it may allow a better team selection. Lundstram had a very good game against Chesterfield and it would be good to see him play against his former team. Dallas has improved, offering more than in in his first few games. Perhaps a Norwood/Dallas pairing up front. A must win game so we can keep in touch in the run in.

It is a very poor return from our defenders indeed. Peter Clarke was always at the end of corners and scored quite a few. In earlier years players like Richard Jobson always added to the goal tally.

That was such a poor game and a poor performance from our team overall What pissed me off most was the complete lack of urgency especially going into last 15 minutes. Long delays taking throw ins and kick outs etc. Even near the end when it was almost a penalty for them and we were given a free kick, Hudson just stood there instead of going to get the ball which was behind the end line. Very disappointing and hard to see where we can get enough points now to scrape into 7th

Winning five out of seven is a big ask considering our recent form. It is going to be a nail biting end of season with every game being so important. If we play like we did against Chesterfield for the rest of the season then we should be well in the mix. But can we? Hopefully yes.

That was a great team performance on Saturday. When team was announced I felt Dallas and Norwood up front was not the right selection. But I was glad to be proved wrong. The way we kept the ball on the floor more with a good passing made a huge difference to the dominance we showed for most of the game and feel we could have nicked the 3 points. Lundstram was a different player on Saturday and had a really good game. Hopefully we can play like this for the rest of the season. It is going to be a very tight finish for the last few play-off of places. Every match is now a huge test for us. Lets hope Chesterfield beat Halifax on Wednesday night. Regarding the Norwood debate I certainly hope he stays with the club for next season. If we play more of the style of football we played on Saturday he should be netting a few more goals in the coming games. Yes he is an unusual character but he is always looking for the ball and gets frustrated when he is in a position to receive the ball but it is not played to him. He is also good in the air and seems to be able to predict where the ball will end up even when it is hoofed up the field. In my view he is a class player who we need to keep.

Yeah MM's pre-match is not very inspiring sadly. Hopefully the team picked for tomorrow will go all out to win and show some pride in playing for Oldham which is not what we have seen a lot of recently. If we had a better return on home games we would be a lot more secure in the play off positions. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Regarding Big Dog's selection I cannot see what Dallas has to offer and would not have him in the starting line up. I think Fondop would be a better foil to play alongside either Norwood or Gardner to start. Fondop and Gardner formed a good partnership while Norwood was not available.

not been able to attend games recently due to sudden illness and still quite week. Missed the last 2 home games and could see the floodlights from the corridor of Oldham Royal Hospital!! If I am not strong enough to go to the Chesterfield game at least I can now watch it on National League stream

Good to see promoting positive thoughts!! I cannot see what Dallas has offered in any game where he has come on as a sub.

What a difference tonight. Initially it looked to be set up to be a real defensive team but played some flowing football. Good first half with 11 v 11. Second half also good with a bit of nerves at the end. Overall a good team performance Do this please on Saturday

Not going to be an easy one tonight. Eastleigh have won their last two games, including a 2-0 win over Bromley. Just watched the highlights of that and McCallum is a handful and leading score in the NL.

Certainly not for sacking as many have said here. But the football style is terrible as highlighted yesterday. Teams like Kidderminster can pass the ball effectively in their build up play and we are totally incapable of that. Being gritty is not the answer and the hoofball and head tennis must somehow be changed. Interesting yesterday that just before they scored their second I could see we were preparing a substitution. Lundstram was going to be taken off on the fourth official's board but then it was changed to Hammond after they scored. Dallas offered nothing and Fondop would have been more of a threat if he had been kept on the pitch. Yes, he was on a yellow but MM should have bitten the bullet and kept him on.

What a poor performance. Kidderminster played a good passing game which we are not capable of. Our "gritty" team played hopeful balls forward without looking at where they were trying to pass to. Too much hoofball again and many on here have said it like it is. I was amazed to see that we are still in top seven. We have some tough games coming up and judging on our home performances we are possibly going to drop more points than our play off rivals so another season in this league is a distinct possibility-more than likely a definite possibility. Despite all the big name signings we are not a cohesive unit like Kidderminster today who have been playing together for a while with some coming through the youth teams together.

A hard game last night. After going one up pity we could not hold the lead. Their goal certainly looked off side. Just watched again on the highlights and it appears a definite off side. However late in the game they could have nicked it after Hudson dropped the ball after a cross and here was a scramble which was poked wide. Regarding Reid I respect Mellon's reasons for not playing him. It is frustrating to have only two strikers to choose from at the moment but Dallas and Norwood will be available very soon again. Fondop is certainly doing well and always full of commitment.

Classic "I have not finished yet"!!!!!

Great man and what an achievement

Last night first half did not work which MM sorted at half time. Hobson and Green did well second half. Our football style for now will not be the same as free flowing style of late 80's and early 90's which we have to accept. But we are now Division 5!! I did not rate Hammond last night and feel Sheron would have done better for the whole game. I like Fondop and he never stops working and really can hassle defenders. Also he seems to have learned not to react and seems more in control by not getting yellow carded. I was unsure about Garner but as others have said he kept harassing defenders and got his goal. I was too far away to see if it was offside or not. Game was an improvement on previous two which would not be difficult. Good to be back in play off position and hope we now put in two good away performances.

A win tonight will make us all feel more positive and give us some momentum heading into two away games.

Atmosphere was flat

I think Jack Byrne is enjoying himself in Dublin playing for Shamrock Rovers Just watched the "highlights". I did watch game on Saturday in Fanzone Bar. Perhaps highlights now need to be renamed lowlights

Very disappointing again yesterday. We are struggling against teams with few resources. Ebbsfleet passed the ball well and are hoofing it forward practically all the time. It is a very hard watch. I feel sorry for the fans who travelled down to the match. Watching it on TV in the Fanzone Bar was frustrating but at least we got home in a half hour. At this rate we will struggle to make the play offs. We play Kidderminster in a few weeks who seem to be improving to get out of the relegation zone. Wil we struggle again? By the time we play again most teams will have had two more games with points on the board. Where will that leave us in the table? It was a positive feeling to see us in fifth just over a week ago. It is going to be a tough run in now.

Nuttall and Willoughby both on the bench at their new clubs
