The right call but odd timing, letting Wellens hang around for a month and begin planning for next season.

Wellens needed to go weeks ago, utterly clueless
He does, but look at this team. Too many one-trick ponies, a terrible midfield, and just not enough heart. It must be horrible as manager to watch this crap.

What do you reckon - 20% possession in the second half?
-
Northampton are passing it around like Real Madrid. We are chasing them and just kicking it up in the air
-
We cant get hold of the ball.
-
Pringle just hops/runs around the ball. Hard to ascertain whether he's a real footballer or a guest of the manager's, just out for a run-around.

Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll!
-
They've started much stronger in the second half. We look tired.
-
What the hell is Ibrahimovic doing next to Johnny, every time he kicks it downfield?
-
Come on Charlton. Surely a play-off team has to score one goal against a team in the bottom four?

Have to agree to disagree he has done what he should be doing his blunders over the season cost us around ten points.
But look at how many chances we've missed. Doyle alone is 0-15 in recent weeks, taking good opportunities.

There's still 45 minutes to go. We have been the better team and look threatening on the left wing. Their keeper looks a bit suspect as well. I could see them committing a defensive error and us snatching a goal.
That said, you can see why we're in the position we are, judging by how few consecutive passes we put together. The team operates a little like Nazon - just put your head down and hope that you end up in front of goal with the ball still at your feet.

First touch there for Pringle. 44 minutes gone.

Placide came out and should have pocketed the ball rather than trying to kick it away.

Fantastic crowd support - OWTB!!!!!

Am watching on iFollow in a bar in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most nervous I'v been in many a year. Come on Oldham!

Yeah, you make some good points there. I still don’t think we should be struggling this badly, and wellens should and will take his share of blame.
BUT the general direction of the club, has been so poor, for so long, that the brutal truth is this has been coming for a long time. It wasn’t for shez it would of been last year. Oh, and the year before that.
You can only hope, if we do go down. It’s a time to reassess, and with a new owner start running the club properly again.
I agree that this has been a long-term decline/misdirection that Sheridan managed to paper over with late wins to avoid relegation. From the lack of funds to the revolving door of managers; from the inability to find a 20+ goals per season striker, to the state of the pitch; from the three-sided stadium, to daliance with Ched Evans, Oldham Athletic has long suffered from the lack of a defining vision and strategy. We seem to lurch from one bad decision to the next. There are many people associated with the club that work long hours for average wages, but we just cannot seem to get out of our own way and make any progress.
Still, I for one, am still behind the club and hoping for one more last-ditch effort to avoid relegation.

From the reading of this discussion, sounds like a horrible performance without a shot on goal - the YouTube highlights bear that out. It was only a matter of time before Rochdale scored....but they didn't.
On its own, this was a good point away from home. But, when you look at this in conjunction with two draws at BP against out-of-form teams, this becomes a much worse point.
We are running out of games and need a win. The only saving grace is an away game at (likely already relegated) Northampton which could confirm our League One status for the 97th consecutive year.

My son, Jack, is supposed to be the mascot today. We live in Michigan and wanted to watch Latics before we head back to the USA tomorrow. It's still snowing near Hebden Bridge....

In the early 1990s, it was Port Vale (Beckford was a handful and their ground a mess of corrugated steel), Tranmere (delusions of grandeur), and Barnsley (no great reason why, just seemed formidable).
-
Yeates was very good. Ran at defenders tirelessly. And he tried to get the crowd going. The only player with genuine skill and pace.

Name: Mick
Location: Washington, DC (raised in Littleborough, near Rochdale, though)
How Long Supporting the Tics: 19 years
Best away match you've been to: Huddersfield in 2006/2007. A 3-0 win and a packed away end
All Time Greatest Player: Andy Ritchie
Biggest Rivals (in your eyes)? It should be Tranmere, but it's become Huddersfield (due to Luke Beckett being there and scoring against us each time we play)
Thoughts on Port Vale and Cheltenham....

I’ve been an Oldham fan for almost 30 years and come to Boundary Park 1-2 times each season (I live overseas) while vising family. This time, I was time I was…um…fortunate enough to watch back-to-back matches against Port Vale and Cheltenham. Here’s my summary for your discussion:
