Gerrard was no near it! It didn't touch anybody.

I think I'll have 2!

Great win yesterday & very heartening to see the players are definitely up for the battle. In regard to their goal I pointed out quite a number of weeks ago that Placide may not be the greatest keeper weve ever had & as usual took the flak on here & other social media platforms for my view. We all still happy with his performances of we still talking about that assist vs Bury? His kicking was also shit yesterday ?

Changed the goal post!? You're not even looking at them! You asked me a direct question which I replied to again your are ignoring it all. Like many Oldham fans it seems you've made you mind up & that won't change. Sack another manager like the last 10. Let's see how it works out this time … repeat.

Nazon only arrived last week though. Duffus has been inured nearly all season and he's mentioned Holloway is the main player who can only play one 90 a week. Tope is fair enough but general consensus is he's ain't good enough anyway ? You can always play 2 up top but sometimes it would be square pegs round holes which we know is another issue with fans.

I think he comes across as frustrated! He's at club that couldnt do business for 3 weeks of a 4 transfer window! Which couldnt register players when they'd signed. He has a goal keeper who doesn't stop shots, a defence that makes individual errors constantly and has been criticised for playing one up front despite all other options being not able to play 90 minutes more than once a week. A team that creates a tonne of chances most games but misses the target and then drop points to sides that hit the target once ot twice and always score. I think if you are aware and don't ignore all the attributing factors including his fucking assistant quitting and the training ground being flooded this last month plus he's come across unbelievably well! Or you could ignore all that and look at, ignore his actual words and the facts and try to read his body language instead. ? Edit; please dont tell me he knew what he was letting himself in for when he took the job because I'm sick of hearing it & and it's bollocks!

So you ignored the fact he asked the fans to create an atmosphere because we always win when the atmosphere is good. Hes been asking for it for weeks You're ignoring what he's been saying for weeks which is full of positives every week (this board is always full of posters saying he's talking bollocks when he does that by the way) to fixate on body language after a bad day at the office. When I listen to him I enjoy his interviews. I think he speaks honestly and from the heart. Maybe too much at times. I don't look for hidden messages or for conspiracys. As for the fans coming together is this the same fans that booed Banks on to the pitch or those that blamed 1 up front for shit defending after 10 minutes last week? I dismiss you as negative because you are ignoring what's been said in favour of how he looms. It's that simple

It's not what he says it'd how he says it! If ever youre looking for proof some fans are looking for nothing but negatives there it us! Don't forget to smile Ritchie!

Since when did a manager actually telling people how it is and what happened become a bad thing? social media is constantly talking about lack of communication and lack of transparency from people within the club and when someone finally explains why something didn't happen (transfers) in detail he told to 'shut the fuck up and get on with it!' 'stop moaning!' An agreement to get a defender (a friend as well) is made only for a championship club to take him on the final hours due to league position would piss anyone off I like Wellens and like his interview style. He doesn't stand fools and im sure he gets frustrated which shows sometimes (Shez was the same) but wouldn't you if youre being met with nothing but road blocks constantly and then answering the same questions over and over again everyday ? He is getting on with things but if the club or Wellens had said nothing there would be rumours we did nothing to get people in and how shit we are. Sometimes they cant win

maybe because of the takeover agent fees all of a sudden went through the roof & to the moon and put a stop to a couple of deals? greedy twats!

So Mills apparently has gone to Barnsley until the end of the season but would have agreed a deal with us if we could give him another year. right? I would guess we offered him a deal until the end of the season but couldn't offer him more due to FFP and our league position. If we were mid table I think he'd and guaranteed safety maybe he gets his year. In the end it comes down to 6 months in the championship or league 1. he made the right choice. our wage bill is massively to high. we have to be sensible to get it in order with half a mind on next season.

is it ex midfielder Tony Henry? I didn't think it was

Ryan Mac could be a very good player but he is constantly injured. Just as he gets to fitness he's injured again. Plus he can go for free in the summer anyway. So no need to be alarmed.

it will be Doyle and JCH signed tomorrow imo

How you can single out Gerard for either of these goals is beyond me...

I saw the YouTube video but I should have been able to hear it in the ground and hear the actually introduction. Instead we saw everyone clapping and guessed the chap in the suit was the new owner.

I tweeted the SLO (Who acknowledged the tweet) the @official , Mark Moisley, & even Corney ? on Friday. The 6th or 7th time this season... As usual fuck all gets done! Now missed the tribute to Jimmy Frizzell & the introduction of the owner. Only massive pieces of club history that the club itself don't give a shit if the fans who pay good money see!!!!

Is the press conference being streamed live on face tube?

lacks anticipation rather than desire maybe...

tbf Wellens looks pissed on 90% of his interviews that's just his face & I'm sure he's sick of answering the exact same questions every day. As for the stress. Welcome to management at a club with no money in a transfer window. I'm sure no matter who com'es in hell look more rested come February when he isn't constantly chasing targets we cant afford.

Funny how views on a player and their style can change. I remember Mark Hughes (from Spurs) being an replica player of Fane. Couldn't pass very well but worked his tripe and put himself about but to far less effect than Fane does now but he was loved. Richard Butcher (RIP) was hounded by a section of Latics fans because he didn't do the work Hughes did He also never improved and dropped down the divisions to Barnet funnily enough where Fane turned down an move

I think you've nailed it in the first paragraph.. Dieng is a league 1 player no matter the position. The fact he can do a job in 2 positions should see him have a steady career at this level. I'm not sure he's been catching at Bradford for a while has he? Has he had injuries?

Absolutely everyone is entitled to their opinion. Possibly one thing that can harm a player is that they can play more than one position especially at Latics, see Kieron Lee. You never get to see where they are at their very best.

I love Fane! He has a non stop engine & wins enough tackles for 2 midfielders. He is rapidly improving his distribution & is still learning. He has far more chance of playing at higher level than Dieng which he will if he keeps working at it. I liked Dieng but always thought he was pretty average. Never got the love in especially as a centre half. He was constantly out of position which the he recovered most times but he couldn't do that at the level above were many tipped he was going. I said rhe same about Kieron Lee as a right full back & took loads of flack for that. Just my opinion....i was right on both occasions though ? Lee proved his class in the position we should have played him in.(typical latics!)

If you ignore him constantly being caught out of position. It's a wonder he hasn't played any games at centre half for Bradford? He was an ok centre back & an ok midfielder....nothing more.
