Looked ok, couldn't say he stood out or anything.

Didn't have much to do although looked tidy enough.

Pretty certain was centre back in second half.

I'm not really bothered about what he previously 'did' to us. With money tight to say the least I'd be worried if we took such a gamble on a player who has consistently missed large chunks of the season through injury. If we are going to make a signature striker signing, who will no doubt be on relatively good money, then we need to have some confidence that he is going to be available.

Would be a quality addition but completely out of our league unfortunately.

And injury prone. No ta.

Does anybody think that quote by Dickov sounds like its been written by someone else at the club?!

If it is McDonald, reminds me of our apparent offer to Billy Clarke a couple of years ago. Creates a bit of excitement and interest but really the club must know our chances are slim to say the least as every lower league club will be in for him, and maybe even 1 or 2 in the Championship. The club wouldn't put anything on the OS unless it was more or less a done deal though would they...?!

If our financial predicament is as bad as we are being led to believe, then surely we will be lucky to be starting the first game of next season with any of our 'saleable' assets (Taylor, Furman, Lee & Stephens) still at the club?

Just think Dickov should have opted for someone a bit more experienced. Might be wrong, but was my initial feeling when he was appointed in the summer.

The biggest mistake Dickov has made is appointing GT as his assistant IMO.

I agree, thought we did ok and deserved to win the game and were punished for 2 mistakes whilst not taking our own chances. Stats: Shots on 9-3 Shots off 6-5 Corners 13-3

Especially considering the soft one we gave away at Hartlepool. At least 2 of our attempts on target struck a defenders arm. Anyone get a good view of their pen? Was it soft or legitimate?

Camped in their half sorry! The second on Saturday too, he should be picking everything up in and around his six yard box instead of being stuck to his line.

How can you say we didn't control the game? Look at the stats and the fact that Rochdale were camped in our half for the majority of both halves. Dean Brill is an absolute liability, his handling is awful and I've never seen a 'keeper as poor at commanding his area.

From Charlton forum... "it was ridiculous, never have i hated a team as much as the oldham lot. They were niggly, overly rough, time-wasting, hateful, evil, rage-inducing northerners. Our link up play was excellent, martin wagstaff and reid are a real handful and interchange positions with ease. Abbott just needs to score one and he'll go on and score 15-20 this season. However i have a problem with the backline, jackson doherty llera francis. They're not quick enough. Francis was really poor in my eyes, hoofed every ball, miss many headers and tackles, and got beaten for pace far too many times. If oldham finish in the top 2, i will give up watching football and move to ballet instead. I truly think we will be playoffs at least, we have the footballers and the passion to do it. One last note, the cock that hammered the ball at our bench deserves to be banned for a couple of months, and sodomised with a corner flag"

Jarrett and Hazell at the back, Tounkara and Feeney up front. The rest as you would expect.

Looks like he might be going to Brentford, cracking signing for them if it comes off!!

Brian Horton was there, must have been impressed with Stephens...

Alan Hardy on GMR a bit ago... - It has been obvious to AH this would happen for some time - Budget is in place for this season and budget was set with this in mind - Club looking for new investment and has been for some time, been a few interested parties in the past but none deemed to be in it for the long term!! Didn't get the impression they were making way for someone to step in i.e. there is no backer to replace them

I think the mods have become OTT of late and are definitely ruining my experience of logging on to this forum.

Oh good, I'm very glad

Hoddle & McClair for instance...
