<br />I scored 7 goals in one game for school once. <br /><br />Was against Grange though.<br />

I remember playing Breeze Hill once and I didn't even get a touch of the ball.....

.... I was the Goalkeeper mind!

Thank god for that, I have never had a go at the lad but CM just simply isn't hyis position. He failed far to often to get a foothold in the game. On the odd occasion where he got wound he would put in a reasonable shift but too anonymous for most of the time.

Young Youssef looked more lively in there and hopefully he will get a shot at showing what he can do, at least he had a part in our last goal!

Been very complimentary about us if you ask me and saying it very much like it is. Shame that our fans aren't as sensible sometimes.

My post from earlier in the week Fruity…updated to take into account today

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the price has been frozen the cost is no longer the biggest issue, it's the fact whether I can be arsed watching a team that has had the following record at home since November 2008….

 

 

League:

 

P83 W26 D27 L30 F91 A102

 

 

No disrespect Prozac, you are the biggest Oldham geek on here, you'll be getting one next season so no need for the martyr act eh!

 

FAILED TO SCORE: 32

<br />I still think we should have kept Joe Jacobsen.<br /><br />Left back has been a weakness that has been exploited by most of our opponents, whoever has played there.<br /><br />Fair enough, I don't know <i>who</i> should be brought in to strengthen it, but there can't be many fans who want to leave things as is there.<br /><br />Unless something changes of the next few games Diallo isn't the option.  He has the pace of a wardrobe.<br />

I hate to dredge up ex tics but Andy Holt for me is ideal there, someone like that. I don't think that LB is our biggest worry though is it? Lets face it, we aren't shipping many goals and the ones we do are by and large silly set pieces!

<br />DJ isnt fit and had a shocker of an injury that will take more time than he might get.<br /><br />Diamond isnt disliked hes just a bit reckless so picks up injuries. It can happen to anyone but he sort of goes looking for it. Haribo youve eaten too many mate... everyone differs on opinions. Black is ok but lacks something ...what I cant really say but suspect a few clubs have worked it out as been turned over on tactics frequently.<br />

I'm just struggling to see where we would get better than Black? Solid at this level and just a bit cinfused as to what people are expecting. If there were viable alternative suggestions then I am all for improving in that area, its just that nobody can seem to come forward with any despite saying we need to get rid.

Alright having an opinion but back it up

I dont understand the dislike for Diamond, we have been a far better team with him in the side. A true leader, will try and stop anything and an experienced head. Better than Tarky and able to steady big Jean, ok he does have some heart in mouth moments but I thought he distributed the ball well and looked o feet up the channel a lot. Tarky is a prospect but his rawness showed recently and was making a lot of mistakes.

For me I would keep:

GK - Cisak, Bouzanis

RB - Lee,

CB - Mvoto, Diamond, Tarky

LB - Black, Diallo

We would need cover at RB only here, if people think that we can readily replace Black then they are on glue, steady LB's arent readily available and he has shown that he was better in that position than Evina for defensive qualities and Diallo is no worse than teh average out there

LW - Morais/KMB

CM - Wes, Furman

RW - Morais/KMB

I know that simmo can fill in but I think he is wasted on the wings, Morais has been our best player since the Charlton away game and a real shame that he got shunted on Sheepfoot Lane! KMB has looked lively and a real prospect. We need to sign another out and out winger though and cover at CB. As has been touched on Adeyemi has changed the whole dynamic of the team and a real failing in Dickov to persevere with him considering he has been so anonymous and unable to get in the game, a real weak link unfortunately.

CF, Simpson, Kuqi, Reid

I see no reason to al;ter this, Kuqi needs to stay in the box or that area however as totally ineffective working too far away from his strike partner.

For me we need 3 or 4 signings to improve the squad and build again.

Despite the recent poor run I am convinced that we have improved on last season. Better runs in the cup and Ifeel that we have only bueen udone in the league due to injuries to our key players in Wes and Furman, they really do make us tick and we were at our best with them in the side together.

We will not be promotion contenders next season and people have far too high expectations of this club at the moment however keep the core together, bnukld on areas where we are weak (full back, CM and wing) and we will improve, that is good enough for me at the moment

<br />Keep:<br />Morais Furman Marsh Brown Mvoto Diamond Wesolowski Cisak Kuqi Simpson Lee Tarkowski Mellor<br /><br />Get Rid:<br />Black Parker Taylor  <br /><br />Not Arsed:<br />Reid Bouzanis Diallo<br />

so no left backs in the side!!

Mint!

Seargent Pepper taught the band to play?

Alright cupcake, chill out!

<br />More importantly we MUST get a ball winning midfielder in urgently.<br /><br />IF we don't i can see us getting relegated this season.<br /><br />After the last home game we went 10 points clear of Walsall , since then Walsall have reduced that to 4 points but more worryingly despite those 2 wins this week they are still in the bottom 4 .<br /><br />Obviously means all the bottom teams are winning and we are struggling !!!!!<br />

Or tat we didn't play midweek and lost to one of the top teams last weekend! A slight overreaction but agree to some extent. Adeyemi has never been the answer in the middle of the park unfortunately! We need a Darren Sheridan in there, I dont care if they can play football. if they can get stuck in and pass it 2 yards thats good enough for me.

Personally I think we have seen some of the nest from Taylor in the middle this season, he is more involved an less likely to run down a blind alley, we just need the scrapper in the to back him up. Tom is far too leightweight for the role

I'm a season ticket holder and think that this is great and a real gesture to get a good number of fans in through the door. I don't want compensating and i have been fully welcoming of all previous deals and incetives. There is a real risk though of beginning to alienate the core support. I will be getting a ST next season but not necessarily thinking twice about going it has made me ponder a little. Currently I have a season ticket and work other arrangements around that. The real danger is that I might in the future be tempted to switch that. I feel that was is needed is a real grand gesture that truly does affect ALL Oldham supporters and that can only be done in the form of season tickets at £150 or similar for a season. As had been said before that simply isn't feasable. Catch 22!

I think that it is a portrait in a person trying to make jokes of things all the time

Hmm, I dont think the neighbours would be too happy about this!

Whilst I think it would be great I feel that we are too close to residential housing for this to be feasable unlike the Reebok for example. I'd be happy to watch Noel or madness there though!

<br />Not justifying his actions in any way, I was going mad at him last night, but the problem is that this is what you get with a fan in the team.<br /><br />It must be very difficult to just walk away when you really do care that much. I look at Taylor, give him stick for what he does and then ask myself whether I would be acting any differently if it was me out there.<br /><br />I haven't seen the replay of the penalty incident but at the time I was incensed that we weren't facing ten men. I told the ref exactly what I though of him. I'd love to think that I would have acted differently if I was playing but I certainly can't swear to it.<br /><br />Chris Taylor is what he is. We have to either take the negatives with the positives or get rid. I know that many would take the second option but I think that we really miss him when he doesn't play and our attacking options are seriously restricted.<br /><br />I've no doubt that a number of managers have probably tried to calm him down but if it is in your make up it will always be difficult to curb, especially without you losing some of the edge that you need on the pitch.<br />

Too much is made of this fan thing, there is a difference between passion and simply being a gob:censored:e

<br />just got back,we was effin toss 2night from start to finish,we got played off the park by a team bottom and so low it was a joke,just feel sorry for some of my mates who have booked the train an hotels allready at wembly,glad the 2nd leg is on sky so i can pull back some of my money i lost tonight,half day off,minibus,match tick,should of known better followin this :censored:e for the last 25years,,to be let down when expected a easy passage.......................<br />

Would you leave a game at half time if we were a goal behind?????

We had loads of chances tonight, Chesterfield flung bodies in the way of everything. Early doors we made them look amazing but we did enough to win it. On another night the pen is tucked away and one of the many other chances is slotted. The good thing is we have the opportunity to put it right at Boundary Park but the excuse has already been presented to the fans which cant be arsed.

I honestly don't think that they want us to get better players and go up as that means having to find more excuses to get our opf their Saturday routines. I wouldn't preach to people who choose to spend their hard earned as they wish, it is a free world and it is their perogative. What does stick however is the ease in which they find reason not to come.

That was the worst outcome of a penalty I've ever seen. Kuqi is currently making the US army look accurate with his shooting and that absolute tube taylor getting a booking, amazing!

He makes me cringe every time he starts remonstrating with the officials and I am honestly embarrased to be a latics fan.

When I first saw Robinson as a number 2 to Ince he was a complete pleb. When we did them here earlier in the season he was as good as any other. Acknowledged any mistakes made by the ref and has been mentioned did something he didn't have to with Ruubes thus went up in my estimation. Clark for me, unable to make a decision without being able to run it by Terry Mc and 20 others beforehand! Stevenage were a terrible team when they came but I have gradually been changing my opoinion as they are clearly very effective and acheiving results which it is all about. If they tried playing football they would be stuffed. Megson played the game when he was here and not as irritating as made out, I thought he was good value for money with his banter in taking and dishing out in equal measures. Allen is just not right in the head is he

There were some particularly nasty knuckle draggers at the Scunthorpe away game in the league. The missus came with me to that match (her second Oldham game in 8 years) and was dumfounded as to how neanderthal some 'fans' could be. They were on his back from the moment the whistle went! Like has been said, he was by far our best performer but fans need to show a lot of patience for his return. Welcome back Reuben!

Taylor claimed to have touched it!

 

P.S. Credit to Hughes for not celebrating either of their goals.

Oh yes, Hughes - the epitomy of humanity. Spare the bull:censored: Diego

I presume Turkey should never have the Euros then seeing as it is bang next door to Asia?

Mass Hysteria just like all the twunts purchasing anything they can in Morrisons because it is closed for 1 chuffing day!

why, what difference does it make?

You are correct there Frankly Mr Shankly in saying that there are no passengers. The team spirit has been noticed but unlike a few previous seasons we don't appear to be carrying anybody within this side which is the basis for success. I said it last season and it will be the same next season. We need to retain as many of these players as possible and strengthen when needed. We lost dale stephens to Charlton for a fee and bring in Wes for nowt, we lost Evra too but have brought in Diallo. We haven't been weakened by any changes in personnel and if we can tie the players whose contracts are up we wouldn't need to do too much in the close season to improve again

Indeed, I'll be singing my cock off!
