  1. I'm not sure that we 'have to play' these players in the positions though....Sachdev was signed as a right back and is fit for example.
  2. Lots of tickets - on sale tomorrow at 10:00am - standing or seated (uncovered) - initially to season ticket holders https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2024/march/25032024-oxford-a-tickets/
  3. Poor lambs… so just cut out the crap play then. We’ll agree to disagree I suppose.
  4. It’s NOT about ‘running through brick walls’ fer chrissakes… it’s about doing the simple things in the pitch that they spectacularly fail to do… time and time again
  5. And therein lies the problem… you say that the squad has limited ability - but we saw the opposite against Chesterfield just over a week ago. Then they put in performances like yesterday and the horror show at Aldershot and it’s baffling. You also mention ‘limited fight’ and you say get behind them… which is exactly what the 480 Latics fans did at D&R. But slowly and surely the on pitch performance just drained the life and enthusiasm out of the fans - it’s hard to get behind the team of ‘limited fight’ as you put it - and when a team fails with even the footballing basics, is it any wonder that fans get frustrated and angry? It’s a two way street and the reception from the fans at full time was justified.
  6. What are you going on about? If you were there today then surely you saw what I saw - namely another shocking performance where too many individuals simply do not display the most basic skills: we could not trap the ball, hold on to the ball, pass to a team mate - it was back to aimless lumping the ball forward with no skill or thought. Even average footballers should be able to do the simple things. Once again they let the fans and themselves down - and they deserved the derision they got as they walked off. I am disappointed and angry at another woeful display - this dross is being served up far too often and I am heartily sick of it. Mellon looks at a loss as to why and his post match excuses are wearing thin.
  7. Tongue in cheek I know …. but the last thing he won was five years ago and I’m not convinced he knows what to do anymore
  8. I cannot think of a single outfield player who played well today. A performance that was the polar opposite of how we played last week - the quality on the pitch was dreadful. And yet we could have won it at the death. I cannot take much more of this crapball - I walk away from games frustrated and angry. I’m thoroughly, thoroughly pissed off… again
  9. The three blocks hold 450 in total - if we reach that figure it will be loud 370 currently sold…
  10. Apart from the following: Three decent saves to keep it to 0-1 vs Solihull at home before they got their second on 94 minutes. A stunning save at Rochdale late on to prevent them equalising. Beating Hartlepool 2-0. Hudson made two great saves late on and got MotM Stunning save by Hudson to preserve parity when 0-0 against Southend. and there have been others
  11. The praise was for a much improved team performance and not for getting a draw. Most were disappointed with not winning, as we were the better team, but saw positives. i think those who seem to delight in distorting the truth are the ones that look silly…
  12. but he’s also stopped fair few that others would have conceded this season…
  13. I wonder if we will see the same starting eleven as at home against Chesterfield? I somehow doubt it… probably see Gardner dropped to the bench and Sachdev back Heres hoping that the performance level from last Saturday is maintained
  14. England C - Tom Conlon subbed at the start of the second half
  15. The linesman was raising his flag and then stopped mid height when Hogan touched the ball - it would have been another shocker if the move had led to a disallowed goal
  16. The song has been adopted by Fulham FC - the fans join in with the line “I live by the river”
  17. 20k would be easily achievable. Family, friends and dayouters
