corney said were also prepared to sell taylor and hughes if the right offer comes in, does thsat mean theyre crap?

therefore some would say you are a blinkered fool. However you dont actually mean it, as we are a promotion challenging team, and half the managers in this league if put in charge would destroy this.

Hughes genuinely makes people laugh. He has a sort of 'cheeky' demeanour that will be missed if he does leave.

It was not a boring game, nor was it negative. thats our first 0-0 of the season - it just wasnt our day, and if their keeper was 3 inches smaller we wouldve scored 10.

?

....merry christmas?

only illegal if he stops. He stutters, or slows down, but never stops in his run up.

I'd like eardley to bag a hatrick to silence his doubters. granted hed have to be played in midfield

Then why would we give him a prof contract

but given that flemming could have easily been sent off in the last two games, having one onthe bench is surely a good idea?

But surely now, after shez giving him a professional contract, he is viewed as good enough to make that step up now.

fair doos, but when was the last time you saw bell play a significant part in a reserve match? I would have thought it would have been flemming making the appearances in the very few reserve matches this season. But if you are refering to last years matches, then a season is much more than enough time for a person to mature as a player, and be ready to make the stepup to the first team.

is that a bit like when you said flemming was crap aswell? When have you seen him play? - or is this info just from your ever reliable sources

There are many different ways in which leadership is displayed. It isnt always shouting and bawling, the technique used by our no. 1 leader at the club, but may be a few quiet words, or a pat on the back.

Hes played in two matches recently, and hasn't had a decent run in the team this season. So hasn't really had much of a chance to prove this.

So sheridan had a word with the national side aswell then? He wasn't made captain of the u-21s to boost any status or transfer fee. He was made captain surely due to his leadership skills?

No. Not once in my original post did i state that he hasn't had a few off games. I am not one to change my opinion simply because a majority disagree. He is clearly going to have a couple of bad moments, dictated by his age, however this hardly detracts from my opinion that he's a good player.

Of course if a silly offer comes in it would be stupid to reject it, but i feel people are only focusing on his few gash performances, than on the times he has saved/won us points. I think a few are also forgetting that hes one of the youngest members of our sqad, yet one of the most established in the international field.

Neal eardley has played 2 games since he has been out of the side for a lenghty period. He hardly set the world alight on saturday, but he was solid, and definately wasn't one of the worst performers. IMO he has a decent delivery (yes decent delivery) and is a very good defender. Hence why he is getting picked for his national side. He also has strong leadership qualities, although they clearly werent on show on saturday, as higlighted by his ability to captain Oldham and The u-21 Wales side. He has attracted much attention from clubs from higher divisions, and i can 100% garuantee that if his spooned free kick had gone in, we would all be praising his complete performance, not slagging him off.

Wouldn't be surprised. Is a great player IMO. He could definately cut it at that level, and if he goes, good luck to him.

Tbh - playing well or not, I still love going to a match. We play badly, yes, i feel disapointed at the end, and its frustrating when we cant string two passes together, but I can't say I don't enjoy being at the match, because i love watching oldham.

I thought Byfield was clipped at the time, but you cant really tell from the highlights. I think the only reason it was given was because he stayed up. As for theirs, I thought Greg got a hand on it. He took the ball first, rendering the fact that their forward fell over him insignificant. I feel for him, as hes had IMO two very bad desicions go against him these last two weeks.

I would at some point like to see stephens, as he looked really good pre season. Isn't he meant to be an attacking minded player

cheers rummy
