  1. Not only is

    Start the match like we are the home side instead of sitting back watching what the oppo are doing.

     

    We can't defend for toffee so let's stop trying to be Arsenal circa 1989 and actually get on the front foot and get shots and crosses fizzing at their end of the pitch.

     

     

     

    As you, who attend along with me tomorrow will find, it is much easier to make a noise when the team is being positive rather than hiding somewhere on the pitch. Given that we are likely to concede two or more goals is the tactic going to be to try and score three or more?

     

    Not only is it better to watch, but we havn't done to bad in the games when we've been set up more to attack and played on the front foot. Crewe, Preston, Sheff Utd, Shrewsbury (2nd Half), Forest (2nd Half) and Liverpool we were the more attacking team in all these games and they were great to watch.

  2. Found this interesting from the PNE forum about what they make of our ground. Funny most latics fans don't feel the same way

     

    As for Boundary Park , its a great place, like several people have said, a blast from the past, bags of character, once grounds like this have gone forever football will be a poorer place. Next league away game is at Scunthorpes new antiseptic arena. I know which I prefer.

  3. Anybody. Really.

     

    80% of Latics managers have a better record.

     

    Can you really justify keeping him? We're going down if things carry on. How can the new guy do worse?

     

    Fair enough, anybody is a bit vague. Who's out of work that we could afford, that would want to come here and could honestly do any better. I'm no Dickov fanatic and I think we're plating dire.

  4. I don't have problems with mancs, most of my family are mancs, like most people i just hate the plastic ones. For me my dislike all comes for football reasons. The amount of times i had to sit and watch united sink us (Wembley, Main Road etc...) Watching so many lads from oldham support utd or citeh just because its the easier choice, the amount of moaning city fans do is just beyond belief, the fact most man utd fans i've ever met have hardly ever stepped foot inside the ground yet they claim to be loyal fans. I could go on but you catch my drift, i just like the thought that Oldham while yes is a bit of a dive is independant from all that and moving us Into/Closer:) to Manchester we're losing some of our identity.

    Also one thought that never escapes me if this new ground we're to be be built slap bang in the middle of oldham i'm pretty sure fans and boardroom would all be on the same page pretty much just leaving the people who are so fond of boundary park that no new ground would be good enough.

  5. I didn't re new this season for the first time in ages, I went tonight against Tranmere and on that evidence it was a rather good call. Also tonight has done nothing at all to make me want to even consider it for next year. Losing i can live with anyone who's followed latics long enough must have got used to that, but the negative football with so little effort being shown, i refuse to part with what little money i have for that.

  6. Great read Mark spot on. I remember being a young kid with you playing footy on the street and getting interested in Latics around the same time. Great memories and great times, like you i wish it could have come a few seasons later so i would have appreciated it a bit more, but not a bad way to gain your football education in the early days :grin:
