I trust there'll be executive shuttles for OL16?

Depends how many tickets you’d want..

So presumably you'd be fine with a big crew from Rochdale or Todmorden buying up all our tickets.  Just give it a rest for all our sakes.

Hope so, we could put a bus on. #OL14isblue

He must be mad.

Wonder if it’ll be a head coach role as opposed to manager.

They’re miles better than us, and looked like they could have blown us away first half.

Desperatly need someone creative in the door in Jan, goals scored are going to be a big issue. 

Probably won’t bother with two nights in Doncaster.

Fitted in well in Wild’s 4-2-3-1.

Suppose we’ll see Sylla will fill his role.

Can see it being Shrewsbury or Stoke, or another tie not decided yet.

Won’t be easy. FGR have got Doidge back from Bolton.

Amazing atmosphere and truly great away day. The players did themselves proud, Missilou consistently won the ball back in midfield and Clarke led the defensive line like a real trooper. Gevaro’ s work and cross for the second was superb, and Iverson’s penalty save was dream stuff.

Arrived in Fulham yesterday afternoon and spent the entire evening and Sunday morning in bed after coming down with flu. Dragged my arse to the game, and my god, did my fellow OAFC fans make it worth it. An absolute credit to the club. You won’t see better support in the FA Cup this season.

Managed some food and a singular pint, now back in bed.

I don’t think Notts would have scored if we’d played the second half with two men and a dog.

Our shape looked good. Thought it was one of Branger’s better games for us, and the two holding midfielders did a good job of “putting out fires”.

Weird muted atmosphere in BP.

Our coffee is so bad.

Battered them for the first 25 minutes, took the lead twice, and threw it away with poor defending.

Rob Hunts does my head in.

Dissapointing but we go on. Playoffs by the end of Jan.

I think plenty are questioning our owner to be fair.

Absolute f’kin banger from Clarke.

As it stands, three points from the play-offs.

edit: Tranmere score, now five points off seventh. 

QPR v Leeds same day, yaaaay..

Could be a good day out!

At times we’re so poor on the ball, it’s untrue.

First half yesterday we were totally unable to keep possession for more than two passes. It was pass, pass, hump it forward, lose possession, chase the ball.

Second half our shape was a lot better and we were able to press the opposition better. Miller put in a real shift, and looks a lot better option than O’Grady.

Lang’s goal made me shout “pick that out you ****!” alarmingly loud.

Branger-Engone leaves me completely cold, but please please stick him on the wing and play Lang up front with Miller.

As for the rest of them, I’m not sure I’m even arsed.

Abdallah in the away end..

Looked to be some serious words between Clarke and Miller during the celebration of the first goal.

Good god, how are that angin’ Crawley team above us?? Eughhhh.

Top goal scorer out. Played for a draw away from home.

Hopefully Surridge back on Saturday, and more attacking play.

A decent result given how poor the team was.

Surridge back in the team on Saturday and more attacking threat, and we’re back on track.

Improvements desperately  needed in Jan though.

Think you have to win promotion to justify playing in this manner, big pressure he has placed upon himself.

Come on now, he’s hardly put “big pressure” on himself.

We’re ticking along in a play-off place, playing on what we gather to be a modest budget. 

Etheridge vs Tarky in the Sky Sports Super Sunday game.

O’Grady can be frustrating to watch, but you can’t argue with his assists.

Surridge is different gravy though. No defender in this league wants him running at him. Once the Grimsby defender turned his back to him for the first goal, he was done for.
