Smalley and Parker switching positions every 10 minutes. The midfield sitting back waiting for Leeds to get the ball so at least we then know what to do - try and get it off them. We just don't know what to do when we have it. We're going down. Simple. We've been bad before but even then we could rely on giving a team a good spanking every now and again. Does anyone believe at this moment that "we're due to give someone a good hiding soon"? Thought not. Imagine us needing to win 3 out of 5 games to stay up. Jeez wept. We've got the effort but we just haven't got the quality. We're the son who's play fighting with his dad, frantically swinging punches, hitting fresh air because Dad is keeping us at arms length with his hand on our head. Dad, literally, is toying with us in the palm of his hand. We're clueless and hopeless and it's absolutely uninspiring to the fans, hence the attendance drop and the general feel-nowt factor around the club. For the first time in 23 years we won't be getting season tickets next year. Enough's enough. It's not even a habit anymore. It's a chore. E4e OARIP

Any team with Keigan Parker in are only going one way. Everything I hate about football in one excuse for a player. E4e ENUFF

I admire you, I honestly do. E4e CUKOO

First I've seen of him and he's ten times the keeper Brill will ever be. E4e NTARD

The move will probably prolong my interest. Stay at BP and it's only a matter of time before I give up for good. E4e YOCAL

First game since Hudds and we're as bad as I remember. To be honest it's one of the worst Latics teams I've seen in 20 odd years. We've absolutely nothing going for us. Nowt. E4e STALE

Cheers Diego! Not seen Flahavan yet, was "looking forward" to watching us against Leeds without a minus 2 goal handicap. But now... E4e OHECK

Staving off relegation will save our season. E4e WEBAD

Cheers FB, I stand corrected. Don't get me wrong, I want us to succeed with Penney but tuning in to see us losing again at home, well to an observer it doesn't seem to be going too well does it? Job done though by scoring twice against 10 men. We did what we needed to do. E4e CRDIT

11 v 11 we were 2-0 down. I didn't go so obviously don't know what I'm talking about but how did he get it so right? On an even playing field we were getting d1cked. Again. E4e SMOLD

All yours mate. Will be in touch. Don't blame me though come 3.06pm... E4e SADDO

Jeez wept. Just tallied it up and I've only been to 6 out of 10 home games this season and 0 out of 9 away. Make it 6 out of 11 on Saturday. And yes I do want a medal. I'll pawn it in and spend it on my weekends. Not proud of the fact but on the other hand not @rsed in the slightest. The club and the ground are stale. The team is equally uninspiring. I was looking forward to the Penney era. That optimism drained out of me after about 180 minutes of 'football' when it became clear that we'd be losing a fighting battle due to the stubborness of the management when it came to certain inferior players being mandatory starters. When one is your keeper then why the fook should I shell out my hard earned to watch points slip through his fingers week in week out? Anyway this isn't about one player. He's gash and he can't help it. It's about years and years and years of false dawns and absolute to$$ on the pitch that has finally taken its toll. Simply don't care anymore. The enjoyment went with the last brick of the Lookers. At least we were having fun being cr@p then. E4e STALE

With you there. Who are we playing on Saturday anyway? Truely don't know. When I remembered I supported Latics over the weekend and checked the score, I thought to myself 'has it ever been so uninspiring and dull?' In my lifetime it hasn't. Yes we've knocked about at the bottom of this division and flirted with relegation, but a few years earlier we were in the division above so it was still kind of new and a 'novelty' in a weird way. Now we've been in this dire place for god knows how long. 11? 12? 13 seasons? And if we're honest there's only one way that we're going to get out. We've also a squad of players who have no affinity to us and are only here until the next move comes along. OK that's football and not just Oldham but still. The games I have watched this season (not many) have been lost by playing an absolute buffoon in goal. The fans clocked it after minutes. Penney aint that stupid but it took him a hell of a lot of points to realise that he had to drop the clown. To not even have a second choice keeper!!!! Where's Derk? E4e GARBO

They'll probably catch him once his stitch kicks in. E4e GINNA

Save your cash, you'll only regret it. Not even logging on. E4e WASTE

Exactly what have you seen in him that gives you that opinion? Genuinely interested. You've seen him, right? E4e HONST

The players haven't got it in them to fight when they go behind. Yesterday was a prime example. It's almost as though we're waiting for them to score. And then when they do nothing changes in our play. Was there any point yesterday that Hudds came anywhere close to 'hanging on'. There was a point when Blackman was left back, Parker centre mid, and Abbott up top on his own with Smalley trying to do anything but get stuck in. E4e URGNT

You're right, he needs his own chant. How about... "Oldhams only one, Oldhams Oldhams only one!" With every passing game I'm losing more and more patience with Penney. I'm coming to the conclusion he's thick. E4e DURRR

LOL! Let me guess, closely followed by Brill? He's a big time lard ar$e bone idle ****! E4e %$£&!

Go on, you've stumped me... He's the worst. Ever. E4e GARBJ

Agree completely. After their goal it was game over, we just weren't up for it. There was no pressing, fight, urgency, nowt. And to sum it up I'm paying the likes of Parkers wage!! Makes me sick more than anything. Completely inexcusable. Think I'll give Leeds a miss. E4e IDULL

We're very unfortunate indeed. Unfortunate that Brill seems to have a clean bill of health. Someone take him out in training. Please. E4e NMPTY

Agree. I'd move tomorrow. Big deal if this conspiracy theory is true. What we gonna do about it, all us 3000 fans? Money talks, the owners talk, if they move us to Failsworth then so be it. Think they're over ambitious on the 12,000 seats bit though... E4e FIVEK

Aren't we better away? E4e WUNDA

Dint we also win the other year when Hazell nodded in? E4e ERYES
