  1. you don't like him do you? fair enough but to say 'what a load of bollocks' to a positive and probably more truthful post wont help will it.

     

    i reckon what reid needs is a bit of support, from the team and from the fans. you can see what he tries to do but most of the time doesnt come off. we've got so many players who want to take people on themselves instead of a simple pass or cross. taylor/morais/reid spring to mind, not a criticism because theyre good players but dickov needs to find a system where theyll work together and decide when's best to go it yourself and when to keep putting it into the box.

    I don't even know him. I think what he wrote was a load of bollocks.

  2. To be fair he actually took up some nice positions today and looked pretty frustrated at his team mates never really finding him when he did. He showed a few nice touches and some bad ones but if you expect him to chase lost causes all day long you're gonna be disappointed, that's not who he is and he never will be. There was one moment in the first half that particularly stands out. Cross came in from Black, Smith went for goal with little pace on the cross and him fairly static so having to generate all the power himself, Reid had pulled away from his man for an easy knock down but he was ignored when it would have been a certain goal. He looked bemused to say the least as was I, but you know, strike parnterships need a bit of time to come together properly. The big problem isn't that reid lacks ability or that he's particularly lazy, it's that Oldham fans love a headless chicken. If we had a team of headless chickens giving it their all and got relegated, most of our fan base would be chuffed to bits it seems.

     

    I should add I thought Parker played reasonably well and this isn't a reference to him. He looked ridiculously quick and pressurised the defence with little reward but showed little in terms of technical ability apart from one very decent cross (because the service was :censored: mainly, rather than him doing anything wrong). Reid is this year's scapegoat though, tell your friends.

    What a load of bollocks

  3. GMR just confirmed that they have spoke to oafc and everyone has been paid and we havent sold the ground. Just people with nothing better to do than make things up. My friends, sons, brother knows a guy who once played football with someone whos lad now plays for latics, seems to have got his facts wrong!!
