Burton Albion Roy Macfarland is only a caretaker for this season

6800 never overestimate the incapacity of the Oldham public to dig into their pockets and support the team.

Very sad to see Shez go, hope he gets another chance and goes onward and upward.He obviously has a lot to learn and has done so the hard way. Yesterday unfortunately at half time despite being 2-2 you could see we would lose and 10 minutes into the second half I was sure we would we would get 5/6 put past us, you could just feel that we were running on empty. Joe has a big challenge, lets just not assume that he can wave a magic wand, but at least he will get everyone's unequivocal support

Yes, but the shop have no pink scarves left a new deilvery is expected on Tuesday, as usual piss up at brewery and all that

No co-incidence that our first away win since Windass came was when he was omitted from the squad. Phil Brown realises he is finished, we thought he might not be, but we have unfortunately, at great cost for us, proved that he is, let him go and lets get on with winning promotion.

Since Windass came our away form has been shocking. He is too old to put in the workrate that we can't do without away from home. At home his touch and class has unlocked more defensively minded teams. I would play him at home but away he would be on the bench.

I agree. The Lookers shouldn't have been demolished. It was obvious when the bulldozers moved in that the project was not going to happen in the foreseeable future. As a season ticket holder in the RRE its like being a second class citizen. I know we got £20 off, but in retrospect it wasn't worth it. Enjoy going to away games much more this season, walking across the carpark each game my heart sinks it looks like a second rate non league ground. When and if the new stand is built will the evacuees get the first choice of seats as promised and does anyone know if the club have records of who the evacuees are. Will also have to re-think next the Season Ticket situation for next season.

Can't get it either but not bothered now

Although I am not an Eardley knocker on Saturday when Ainsworth switched wings he went past Eardley as he had gone past Lomax. Lomax couldn't cope with him and neither could Eardley. Eardley stopped him once a got booked!

As far as style is concerned seem to be using Byfield as target man, but he can't hold off defenders. The man who can is O'Grady, where is he ?!

With the resources at Shez's dosposal compared with other teams we shouldn't even be thinking about promotion. How would you feel if you were a Peterborough supporter with all the financial backing their wonderful young manager has. Just in front of Oldham !

Standard paragraph under the Companies Act, all the companies going bust at the moment will have these statements in their last year's accounts.Means nothing, Latics accounts in the year before Chris Moore pulled the plug had the same paragraph to comply With the Companies Act

We sign players with a bright future don't have a reserve team so no wonder they don't give 110% in training. Stephens must have played fewer competitive games this year than when he was 6 years old. What is that going to do for motivation and his development into a top player \\\\\\\/

O'Grady gives us another option i.e. if we need to play long and keep the ball he is the one to do it. Will never be and hasn't been a prolific goalscorer but holds the ball up well and brings others into play

I totally agree. As a family it cost us £60 last night and I am usually fairly realistic following defeats but last night felt cheated. The performance on the pitch was dire lacking passion and application. I know TTA are putting in a fantatic financial commitment but a low priced admission would have got a better attendance. The game was set up as a Johnstones Paint equivalent where we always fail miserably. Has it not dawned on the powers that be that we don't play well in front of low crowds at BP. It shouldn't be the case, but it is a fact and not just a feature of the Shez era. Good passionate crowd = good performance.Make us all pay top price = low crowd=lose=lose prize money= lose potential good cup run revenue= lose Taylor. Who loses the loyal fans all round, now and for ever. Big reality check looming for next year's season ticket sales.

He played well, put in more tackles than the whole team did in the first half,passed it early to Jones and Taylor and allowed Whittaker a bit more freedom.

I agree he was bad early last season remember Accrington when he got booed. That was how bad it got and it wasn't a one off bad performance. His best performances Leeds ,Tranmere are against immobile strikers,he can't cope with mobile attacks like Hartlepool and Yeovil.It is interesting that the Leeds/Tranmere model is more successful in the long run in this division, but not against Gregan.So with Gregan in the side maybe we are going to do better against bigger strikers and better teams and trip up against lesser teams.

Crying out for plan B yesterday there wasn't one. Ormerod runs the same channels as Hughes, then Hughes doeasn't know where to go. Plan B involves O'Grady, but it is a bit difficult when he is at Bury. Some one to plat long to that can hold the ball up, he has never let us down.

Jones has looked knackered in every game I have seen him play. He is not the answer at fullback. Stands off too much, doesn't tackle and is too one footed.I know we wanted some balance on the left but he is a luxury, when the going gets tough he doesn't cope

What % of games have we won with Lomax playing, how many have we won when he hasn't started work it out

I agree about Jones he is not a full back. In 3 games I have not seen him put in a tackle. Stands off and allows too many easy crosses into the box. Cut off the supply cut off the danger. Wolves have had him out on loan last season and have shipped him out quickly this season. Something wrong not going to make it unfortunately.

Born & Grew up in Whitehaven Then Manchester Stockport Royton

Meaningless piece of work statistically. Given that the starting point was 1992 we were always going to be underachieving. However we are only in that position because at that random point in time we were drastically overachieving. All it means is that we are not in the same position that we were in 1992 which is obvious.

Yes I agree. Just a bit rusty at the moment. once he gets a few games under his belt and scores a goal will be off and running. At the end of the day he is a confidence player and he needs to be playing with that confidence.
