Connor Brown contract cancelled my mutual consent.

Would fill the right back problem..

Advisory doesn’t work, we have already had..

Sean O Driscoll

Paul Jewell

Jim Gannon

We still ended up in the shi!!

My mate went and they apparently played well. Fell to the sucker punch going for the win. 
 

We will turn this corner, one win will see is go on a run…

Who remembers the private Beardy Bus back in the day?.

Well done BP, that’s great news for you and I hope your efforts will benefit the club.

And the food outlet in the Main Stand paddock RRE was closed yesterday for some reason that nobody seemed able to explain. 

Too be fair, this kiosk closure was out of the clubs control. It needed urgent internal maintenance due to a flood but will be open as normal at the next game!!.

Couple of noticable absentees in the OEC, anyone heard any news?

I think you need to explain that one a bit more.

Well from 1980 I've served Nottingham Forest, where my first recommendation Steve Wigley was signed for £2,000 and did really well. At Forest I worked personally for Ian Storey Moore (a great guy), Leicester City, Coventry City, Derby County, Notts County (for my favourite manager Jimmy Sirrel, who attended matches with me), a short spell at Leeds United and finally Grimsby Town with Russell Slade.

My brief mainly concerned checking out non league players and match assessments for for EPL and EFL clubs.

A scout only recommends players and actually most aren't signed as it depends on the managers opinion at the time and club resources. It can be galling to see them sign for other clubs when  some later become internationals from non and lower leagues -as happened to me with a teenage Chris Waddle after I was told he'd never make a footballer at any league level.

Managers tend to hire scouts they know and the scouts often follow them to clubs they move on to.

I'm 77yo now and don't get out much  nowadays so any players I spot would be local or from teams playing against them.

young centre back Adam Crowther of Kings Lynn being an example.

I suppose I'm a dinosaur in the modern game, and as seen in OWTB I can can be very outspoken If I see things at Latics matches I don't like.

I have never lost my eye for a good player or future prospects and can usually pinpoint what's going wrong within the first 15 minutes of a match, with positive suggestions to make changes.

I also watch our opposition and when I see players dominate like Haughton of Fylde , Summerfield of Halifax and Apter of Scunthorpe I say my piece and wish we had players like these.

I await the new signings and hope they can vastly improve team performances and play the exciting attacking football I and I'm sure many fans crave for.

Of the younger current Oldham players I think Will Sutton will go the highest, providing he can overcome his serious injury.

 

 

 

I think that speaks for itself….

With the greatest of respect, why would they? They've just appointed a head of recruitment and Mr Unsworth says they've got a range of high quality scouts...

That’s a bit shit mate, when someone starts “with the greatest of respect” it means no respect given.

BP 1960 is on the money most of the time and if he was involved in recommending players I’d be happy with that.

With the greatest of respect.

It took Joe a few years and then we finally got into the playoffs in 86 and got a hammer blow from Leeds Utd.

It took another 3 years to rebuild then we went on the run.

This team has been put together with no thought process and the players signed were like we’d just won shit prizes from a school tombola.

We have to stick with the board and management. Let them bring his own players in who are competent to know how what tactics and shape mean.

One thing I did notice was Maynard giving it large last week and got completely done for the goal yesterday.

Once Hope, Hogan and Gardener come. back plus the 4 new players arriving this week and next we can move on.

I’m still expecting us to go on a run and get in the playoffs

He needs time, I know for a fact that Joe will be in his ear.

Anyone calling I’m him to go needs to give their head a shake. 
 

Im convinced when Hogan and Hope come back we be a more balanced team.

Last thing we need is another revolving managerial door.

He can’t blame the fans, incredible support.

Strictly on in 25 mins, it the hallowe’en special!!!.

Why can’t we press?, we are making them look like Premier League.

If we get the same response it’s going to be very toxic.

losing the ball and not closing down arent even anywhere near the same thing

Harry managed to do both last night, it was definitely a night to forget for all involved!!.

To say that Vaughan losing possession last night cost us a goal is ridiculous.

Why, I think his losing possession did cost us a goal?.

Tollit has lost possession in dangerous areas on numerous occasions, but not heard the manager criticise him for it.

I’d like to see if any of his lost possession has cost us a goal in such a crucial match. He’s scoring goals and at least contributing.

Feck me, he basically blamed Vaughan for the defeat! That lad needs to find a proper football club

I get that but I bet he’s constantly on with Harry in training to close down the opposition. Then on match day the goal comes from him not closing down.

Once he goes over the white line he has to put his training into practice. I don’t blame David for being totally pissed off. Harry has had a handful of managers but no one seems to fancy him. Maybe he doesn’t listen in training.

it’s sad though that he was mentioned but I’d like to see a massive response from him now.

I would have tried to get Coleman back when he left Rochdale..

This is poor.

He’s been left with absolute dog shit of a squad. 
 

I think it’s fair to say he’s given everyone a chance and that was his plan in 5 games.

Hope, Hogan, Porter and the left back (forgot his name) will add stability back to this squad. We need the captain back to get a grip of the team on the pitch.

Most of these players won’t be here next year and it’s a total rebuild. 
 

it was Chester’s cup final and fair play. It’s just like us to go on Tuesday and win comfortably!.

I’ve said before, we’ve been on the demise since 1993 and it will take more than 5 games to sort this club out both on and off the field.

The building blocks have been set and it’s going to be a good journey back to were we belong.

The player at Turo City is Sam Mellor.

I don’t know how to privately message on here. I was wondering, do you have any contacts in the south west?. My cousin has just turned semi pro at Turo City, 6 foot 4, quick, two feet and scores, 18 years old and running rings around the league.

He reminds me of Matt Smith, I’ve seen him play, what a player….

I think Neil Adams second time here was .
