Wow.....football for sure is about opinions!

Everybody had stinkers today with the exception of an industrious Kelly......but I don't agree with 'Melia' when you said Connor was one of our better players and that he should of stayed on the pitch.

I have been one of his strongest advocates and desperate for him to get a chance but he had a mare today....he constantly gave the ball away and looked awfully nervous against there right winger (Laklovic I think).....gutted for him today but he looked far worst than the rest.....I thought Lee would of subbed him at half time to be honest!!

Bad day at the office tonight and will need a big improvement if we are to get anything from Scunny!!

Agree with that summary but for the first half formation BP1960.......both halves we played 4-5-1 (Clarke Harris on his own up front in the first half and Gros on his own in the second).

LOL at Gros being a lower leagues Hulk!!

Jch was sat next to Winchester in the main stand ,full tracksuit on and looked nothing like the trialist .

thanks for clearing that up

That's what I thought.

He appears on one of the photographs that you have provided (second to last photo player wearing number 14) - For fear of ridicule can somebody tell me if this is Clarke Harris?!? Bit strange if he wasn't involved at all last night!!

Erm. No.

 

Unless he's changed his name to Trialist.

Certainly looked like him and didn't the programme say that number 14 was Clarke Harris - could be wrong though (hope I'm wrong)!!

Wasn't the second 'so called' trialist Clarke Harris

Initials MT, and he plays for a club associated with Wedgewood?

Another player with no gametime last season............but if he could recapture the form he shown whilst playing with Sheff Utd, we will have a steal for sure!!

Sky sports reporting that he will sign for us tomorrow

Work colleague who supports Aberdeen is very disapointed to see go........could be a good signing if true!!

Harsh on Trotman boys, way too harsh! He defended pretty well from where I was sat, and between him and Hazell we looked very solid. Great work defensively from the full-backs made for a good day of defending all round.

 

Think you are giving Taylor a bit too much kudos too. Not that he played poorly, but I thought at times that he could have been better served giving us som more width - not meant as a stinging criticism though because he had a pretty good evening.

 

Signing Morais should be a priority, we need to keep as much of this team together as possible because they have a real spark. Thought the midfield two were excellent despite it being pretty congested in the middle of the park and relatively little movement in front of them when they had it deep - but conditions were tough and they were athletic and big across the pitch.

 

All in all this is a great side to watch, I'm loving the committment that each and every one of them shows every week. Reid looked very sharp, Evina is a proper footballer and a great addition too. Really like the whole team celebrations and was loving Hazell's enthusiasm after Reid got his goal - maligned for being a bit of a stump but he loves it and that counts for an awful lot.

 

This division is there for the taking, and our squad looks as strong as any I've seen at the club for ages. Bringing on Reid, Jones and Feeney? That says to me that we have options, and we have so much pace and skill in this team that we really could beat anyone.

 

Overall a really good night, and a massively impressive win against a team who are difficult to look good against. First half here and the performance at Brentford suggests that we are toughening up a little, so hopefully Carlisle was a blip.

 

If we had another couple of thousand through the gates things would be rosy!

Agree with that.......beginning to see a very good partnership at the back with Rubes and Trotters.

Happy with all aspects of the game tonight...............and with regard to signing Morais up for the rest of the season.........I'm sure the club are doing what they can do under the circumstances

After what happen in January's transfer window, I have complete faith in Simon Corney's dedication to this club..........I am sure he speaks to Dickov often and has seen first hand the performances of Morias - therefore I am confident if the signing was possible he would be trying to make it happen.

it certainly warms the cockles seeing people losing their jobs in the middle of this recession

If they don't have clubs - I see your point. However with the financial restrictions at Oldham there is no place for sentiment and besides this settlement is mutually agreed and should give the player time to find a new club instead of at the end of the season when out of contract.

Anyway I am willing to bet most will have clubs already, I know Jacobson has been offered and signed a deal at Accrington...........and remember a player out of contract can sign out of the transfer window!!

Just spoken to a current Premiership scout friend of mine who told me Abalimba was the best young prospect he had ever seen when he recommended him from Southend a couple of years ago.

I notice PD is adding pace in abundance to his squad.

Todays football is all about pace and power!!!

Thanks for your efforts Kelvin and I wish you well in finding a new club.

Is it wrong to be very happy with the club at this moment?.....Dickov has built a good footballing side on meagre resources and in the same process got rid of all the driftwood / deadwood.......I am feeling very happy with the club at this moment in time!!!

............and if by magic 'voila'

Thanks 'prozac'..........incidentally your sig mentions your first game being Crystal Palace - Free schools tickets right it was my first game too

http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/page/NewsU...2281251,00.html

There's alot happening in this transfer window thats for sure...........we could do with 'prozac' doing a list of all the Latics comings and goings in this window...........i'm not sure who's here and who's gone anymore

Amos

Holdsworth Hazell Trotters Black

 

Lee Furman Jones

 

Morais Taylor

 

Brooke

 

Stephens & Tonk need a rest. Just cant see feeney doing anything, Also allows us to control the midfield more with either Lee, Furman or Jones sitting infront of Hazell of Trotters when attacking as Holdsworth and Black will be further up the pitch acting like wingers when attacking, with morais and taylor making it into a front 3, with 2 of the 3 CM's pushing up the pitch

A rest as in drop them?.........they can't be knackered they have just had 5 weeks off!!

I do agree with you though, they are short of confidence and need to find it with a stint in the reserves.

Strikes as a decent deal - Team Card points too!

Will a Latics Season Ticket do?.........I stopped purchasing programmes this season.

That may be the case now but it wasn't when you posted originally

You've changed your response. This reply does not make sense..........of course the status quo has changed........he has allegedly been offered a contract extension........ ?!

I originally posted to say that (according to his agent) Keiran wanted to stay and that he was still awaiting and hoping for a contract offer from Oldham.........nothing more!!

Just recently I posted to say that he has recieved an extension to his contract which he is considering........what gives...........

I could keep this information to myself........but I figured fellow tics would be interested to know where contract negotiations were at.

If I were Kieran or the club though, I'd be mightily pissed off if my agent was discussing confidential information with all and sundry!!

'All and sundry'.........never been called that before .........however I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it!!

Regarding Keiran, his agent and the club.........I wasn't told in confidence and he didn't go out of his way to keep this a seeeeecret...........and I am neither Keiran, his agent or the club.........but yeah I guess I'd be a little pissed off being talked about in the public domain.......therefore I will say no more.

Other than to say he should sack his agent (he's no good anyway) :lol:

You speak as if that's a fact, was that a nod, wink or actual verbal indication ;-)

Although this still is not fact (just a nod, wink and verbal indication), I have it on good authority (his agent) that the club have now offered Keiran an extension which his agent is recommending!!

Looks like we are building for life after this season

Missed it.........does anyone know if Sky repeats this show?

He misses the next three

Does that include reserves as well as the first team?

4609 it holds. Take into account they was stood up all game, which covers the views of alot of seats not being sat in, and their was a few spare near the end of stand, + the yellow JD banner which takes up over 100 seats, you probably could

I forgot about the banner..............but still didn't we say that they had sold 3700 tickets and there was still pay on the day!!

Smells a bit fishy thats all......don't matter either way I guess

they brought 3,665, so at least we weren't out numbered...

I'm sure the RRE holds 4600...............does that mean they could fit another 935 people in there?

I think not!!

NO MONEY AT THE CLUB N U PERFORM LIKE THAT, THE ONLY CHANCE TO EARN SOME REVENUE, HEY BUT IT'S OK THE CLUB WILL BE BEGGING US LOYAL FANS TO DIG DEEP AGAIN, U WERE ALL A DISGRACE! A F**KIN DISGRACE

Honeymoon period is well and truly over for Dickov now I would imagine..................hard to defend that debacle!!

A king Kong sized Bollock dropped

Might have people claiming this is an over reaction.........but I won't argue with that!!

OMG 3-0 down WTF is going on!!!!!!

Just goes to show......leave your best 2 players (this season) out in a cup we need a financial windfall from!!

Even the Latics commentators are talking nonsense...........we are 3 down and they are taking about needing 2 goals

Last time I looked, the FA cup was played over 1 game each round unless and replay was needed.......therefore can we score 3 fecking goals please Oldham

Edit......3-1..........thats a start!!
