  1. Correct - just wonder if Hughesie will take up the new contract...
  2. If you buy early it's £18 - As a season ticket holder each game costs me £13 (approx) - worth that? I thought it was an entertaining game and definitely worth 13 or 18 or even 20 quid - but I'm just a diehard Oldham fan and have been for 43 years - for me I never question what a game is worth - it's a loyalty thing ya see - it's in the blood. Keep the faith.
  3. Keeper saved Hughes header, Alessandra's cut back right at the death and was involved on a number of other occasions cutting out crosses etc. I agree that we did not make him work as hard as we should have - too many shots over the top (Allott and Byfield) or just wide (Gregan). BUT - this was a decent performance and Carlisle looked to have a number of good quality players. We are on a run at the moment - too many draws I agree - but the team is looking stronger each game. Let's beat a few teams beginning with the letter H - Huddersfield and Hartlepool and Hereford - and then we can push on.
  4. Do what?? 19 corners, 19 shots - apart from the finishing that was an excellent game. Predictable? Probably so but drab and crap? No way.
  5. Same goes for Smalley, Alessandra, Davies etc etc - the power of hitting the onion bag - not to be underestimated
  6. Now how about a spell in the old third division Robbie?
  7. So - at the risk of: a. Commenting on something that has already been pointed out b. Getting slagged off for having a go at Lomax c. Making a negative comment I have finally seen the highlights (!) from the Orient game and it is clear to me that Lomax was woeful in covering the man who went on his outside and was pulled down for the pen - shoddy defending methinks. Merry Xmas
  8. So is any contract worth the paper it's written on if a manager can just resign? I would have thought that any contract would have a notice period and a compensation clause - let's wish Grayson all the very best at Leeds...
  9. Have to agree that this is a strange one - it also means that I will be leaving home at 8:00 am to get to Oldham in good time to visit relatives and get to the game - bang goes another lie in
  10. Byfield? Hope not - he just does not look like scoring. As for Sturridge - you are having a giraffe!
  11. This hits the nail on the head for me - we can no longer afford to play with two wingers, simple as that. Time to try an extra man in midfield - and fer gawds sake give Lee a go!!!!
  12. So DB needs 8 more goals to reach his century - he now has 5 games to get 'em beforehis loan period ends - now wouldn't that be nice?
  13. I'd have Lidds in for Smalley and swap the fullbacks around (i.e. Eards at rb and Lomax at lb) but apart from that, spot on. More interesting is who will be on the bench - will he go without a keeper? If so then we should see O'Grady, Smalley, Alessandra or Stephens, Maher & Lee
  14. Quite right - apologies for the personal stuff - I'm sat in the naughtycorner as penance - but still thought the post wasn't that pointless... unlike Orient Saturday
  15. Again nothing said about them starting. As responses go - this one illustrates how some people read what ever they want and then post to show how little they know. I'll file your response under 'S' for Sad Muppet
  16. Yes we are still in sixth position and can give teams like Peterborough a good run on their own patch but we still need another striker in the January transfer window - and that assumes Hughes stays. Byfield - that debate is elsewhere on this board - but will he score goals? O'Grady - one for the future? Then there is the question of the midfield - Lee and Stephens - will they ever get a chance? Trotman back on loan? At least we get to see Fleming for a few games. And finally - Chrissie Taylor - if he goes then I hope it is for a decent sum - but I wish he would stay...
  17. Steady on now - automatic promotion? I'll settle for the playoffs and a Wembley day out to remember.
