Nice one! The best nickname is the one given to Dean Smalley by Shez and Tommy - the management call him...Smalley

I agree with all of the above apart from one thing- Stefan Stam - he has had an injury free run and has done well in an ever changing back line. Still cannot understand why we let Trotman go though - he was more important than any of the other players imho

They were not interested

My thoughts exactly

Yup - a win on Saturday and today and we would have been sixth...

For me...?? All of 'em

basics

Crossley, Pogliacomi, Gregan, Livermore, Allott, Liddell, Alessandra, Davies, Hughes - Thompson (bench yesterday), Jarret (played for 33 minutes), PLUS Kilkenny, Bertrand - an injury list to rival most I think. So where was Lewis yesterday? How long is Allot out for? And when will Hughes and Davies return? Anyone know? It may be too late for the play-offs I feel but it would be good to get some of them back and playing before the end of the season huh?

Too right - btw what is 'glad-handing'?

Great Fans at Luton - similar to the decent Latics mob - Bedfordshire Yeoman before the game I think

Interesting statistic in the programme on Saturday. Comparison of the last two seasons (Shez at BP versus Ronnie at PP): Shez PLAYED 81 WON 34 DRAWN 23 LOST 24 FOR 111 AGAINST 79 Ronnie PLAYED 82 WON 32 DRAWN 23 LOST 27 FOR 98 AGAINST 88 Not bad for fledgling Manager huh?

I agree 100% - from now on it's going to be positive support - even if we miss out on the play-offs

Young Guns grab it

I think that Wolfy is getting better and better - expect him to feature as a sub this season -then outon loan to Rochdale next beforemaking his breakthrough - as for Constantine not sure

Looks like we will have a new loanee for tonight's game - any ideas? http://www.oldhamathletic.premiumtv.co.uk/...1256369,00.html

Obviously I have touched a nerve with you Johnny - by now you have probably reread your original post and realized that perhaps it was a little lame - you jumped to criticize some for daring to post a suggestion on a forum - not claiming to know better than Shez,merely suggesting an alternative. You then used a lame and frankly derogatory comment about working in McDonalds. We all have opinions and we are all entitled to our own - shame that your's is so lame - ah well - keep on jogging and jogging - probably on your own...

HA! You thought you had me there for a minute Johnny - but you see I didn't say that you were not allowed an opinion just that your world must be a sad place if no-one was allowed an opinion. You see - in my world you are allowed an opinion - in fact the more the merrier. So mnnna mnnna too! I am jogging though a little out of breath..

Hey Johnny - I think that you live in a sad world where no one is allowed an opinion or is allowed to even suggest an option for an alternative formation. No-one is claiming to know better than Shez merely posting a thought or two on a forum that is designed for exactly that purpose. You sad muppet..

You must have watched a different game to me - Jarrett was woeful yesterday - his passing for 70% of the time he was on the pitch was abysmal - he constantly gave the ball away and only late on did he seem to catch up withthe game. Anyone else believe that he is carrying a niggling injuryand that is what iseffecting his play?

Alessandra needs to score

Having seen the lads at Brizzle on Tuesday and at home today, I think a slight change would improve effectiveness going forward: Lomax in at Left Back Livermore Left Wing Taylor Right Wing Jarrett rested...

Got to agree with that - Allott was MOM today with Eardley (yes) not far behind. Alessandra needs a goal and he will come on a storm I reckon. As for Jarrett - he had a 'mare today and I really think he looks like he is carrying an injury as wellas not being match fit. Good to win comfortably though - make the long drive back a much nicer experience

Do we dare believe?

I'll be there but am waiting to hear if I have a complimentary - if so I'll stand or sit for free!

I read somewhere that from this Thursday Football League clubs can take on loan players for up to a maximum of three months - does anyone know if this can be extended should a club reach the play-offs?
