Id go 3-5-2, as nothing else seems to be working. Ripley Burgess Gerrard (Wilson if gerrard not signed) Clarke Wingbacks of dummingham and reckord Midfield trio of green, Winchester and flynn. With flynn further forward. Erwin and mackay up top. Hopefully flynn might have a good game as it's the cup and he's our only chance of winning at the moment. Hopefully its his 1 good game in 5.

It's looking likely with the withdrawals that we could get Blackburn, Aston villa, Stoke or Everton. What a joke of a competition they have made of it. Good job Bolton downgraded their academy last year otherwise they could have drawn their own reserve team!

As bury appear to be quite adventurous this season it would make sense to hit them on the counter as such I would go with. Coleman Dieng burn wilson brown Kelly Jones philiskirk Poleon turner forte Our backline would be solid and lots of pace on the counter. Dunn unlucky to miss out but I think the extra industry of phili would allow forte and Poleon more freedom to join turner.

With the current squad i would go with Coleman Dieng elokobi wilson Poleon Jones Kelly forte Winchester Turner philli Away games change Poleon for wilson and forte for mills

Ave attendance in 2006-07 was 6300ish. Ave attendance in 2007-08 was 5300ish. Lee hughes was signed in august 2007.

Attendances will decrease as so many people will disagree with the signing. Just as it was with the Lee hughes signing where the ave attendances dropped by 1000 and have never recovered. We can't afford for a similar drop just when there was starting to be some positivity around the club.

When will Turner be back from injury? Hopefully he will be the finisher and the guy with genuine movement in the box.

Missed the last 2 games thankfully. But feel the bigger picture needs to be looked at. We need to make sure we are playing to the strengths of our key players and not trying to fit loan players in where not needed. We did the team bonding at the start of the season to get the players all knitted together and then johnson has been trying to replace a lot of them ever since. I think this has undermined team spirit. As such to restore this I would go with the following. chubs Wilson dieng wilson mills Mellor Winchester Jones Phili forte Poleon Although not convinced about Poleon at least he is one of ours and there is an absence of alternatives up front. I like Mellor in that holding role as not sure he really has the engine to play a different role. Although he would always be behind Kelly due to Kelly being more defensively sound. I like the look of johnson but don't think he does enough defensively so would be either him or Phili for the central role or him or forte for wide left. He would lose out in both of these for me

Chubs Wilson dieng wilson mills Mellor tidser Jones Johnson philiskirk forte 4.3.3 with 2 holding midfielders and Jones in a free role in midfield and look to counter attack.

I think the signings are a great move as Mellor and Winchester between them can cover every position apart from keeper and forward. it should therefore mean that the squad size can be smaller and money can be directed towards quality rather than quantity. Both players have also shown potential, it is just getting them to do it on a regular basis, which has been difficult with wes and Smith quite rightly in the way.

Getting my first season ticket since lookers was knocked down. Been regular long distance floater since. But now back in the area and looking forward to promotion push - fingers crossed. Do I get first dibs on new seats in the new stand or do those who kept there season ticket going in other stands have first choice? I assume the latter obviously, but u never know. :-)

Can't believe they are trying to change the only game of the season that might be close to capacity! Why would the bank holiday game be at 7.45? Surely a 3 o clock kick off is the norm. I for one, could have made it on the monday, but i am unable to make tuesday nights and that was a big factor in not getting a season ticket as i would miss too many games to make it worthwhile.

I agree totally with limiting the amount of loan signings as it is a farce seeing a different team every other week. I would make exceptions for injuries, if there are no alternatives in the development squad/youth system. Also if there is a gem of a player that we could get for a season, this would also be worthwhile, as long as this was not at the expense of a promising player in our own youth. Additionally i would like to see local lads (esp those that have come through the youth) ala taylor, smalley etc.. playing. If we could get the majority of the team as local lads i would be more inclined to support the team more as it would feel more like my team and hopefully these players are not looking as oldham as a stepping stone to a better club, but would be aiming to play in a higher division with oldham. I for one would prefer to see the likes of rickers, mcniven twins, allot playing for us (as they have an affinity with the club) rather than the parkers, worthingtons, Holdsworth (im not saying these shouldnt play for us, but the amount of turnover of players is destroying the soul of the club).
