Think I'll just get a hi vis vest from work as that's what it looks like

Well at least the players won't get knocked over easily!!!

The wheelbarrow.

If you play for Latic's I'm afraid it's the boring missionary position.... Mind you it's better then nothing.....

 

 

No doubt he is a quality L1 CB and would be an asset to any team in L1. We currently have Brown, B Wilson, Lockwood, J Wilson, Kusunga, Mills and Truelove for defensive options. There is alot of quality in there and the fact that Lockwood and Wilson have forged an understanding between them is invaluable. Tarky was a quality player but we looked shaky in defence with him whereas Lockwood and Wilson have given us a steady solid look to defence. It's the most solid we have looked in defence for a few years now. If Llera is happy to not be first choice and on a wage that is viable for us to still be able to bring in two decent wingers and a striker then all means happy for him to come in. However I'd suspect he would want to be first choice and be on a decent wedge but I don't see the need the have 6 defenders on a decent wedge.

 

Whatever money is left in the budget we should be looking to spend the majority on two decent wingers and a striker which is where we need quality currently rather than defence. If we have enough in the budget it be able to manage it than great, sign him up but I suspect we don't.

I could see Jack Truelove as a winger, he's bloody fast...

Lee's been unlucky in his first year of management, all our players with flair and speed have for one reason or another gone down the river.. Monty ( where's the bookies ), Sid ( who I thought would make it ), Rooney ( forget the flair and speed thing in his case, I didn't see any), Tarky (FEC).

Potential players who have never really developed: Winchester, Mellor ( and a few others ).

On recent performances we have a goalkeeper who's not quite sure what is hands are for, who doesn't control his area and is about as happy to see a cross as Jesus!! Why does he keep sending high balls in when we have only small players up top, I can understand it when we have Jonno up top but not with Philly and McDonnald.

Players that I'm happy about, Grounds ( but not as full back ), Philly ( but not out wide ), Clarke-Harris ( The Beast ),McDonnald and Brown

Players I'm not sure about Dayton ( I'm getting bored now ),

​I think Lee panicked a bit and brought in players he knew who he thought could do a job ( and I'm not sure they are yet )

So as far as I'm concerned this is a steep learning curve for Lee, he will learn a lot and end up a better manager for it, KEEP THE FAITH, we won't go down.....

If I was manager at Accrington Stanley and the Oldham post came up, I wouldn't think twice about applying. Noone with Oldham in their blood would.

Who's Noone?

Anyone that posts this kinda stuff without using their proper name is a coward...why not say who you actually are if you know so much!

Well, lets put it this way, anyone who use the names Rochdale and Raymond together can't have a lot going for them, I would suggest that there is quite a large void between his ears.

Danny's a better all round player, brings players it the game, gives 95 to 100% ever game.

Baxter great at freekicks crap on pens, went walkabout in some games, 60% to 100% effort, sometimes you wouldn't know he was on the park.

If we get promoted i'll eat my hat, while simultaneously showing my arse on the Town Hall steps.

If we get promoted i'll eat my hat, while simultaneously showing my arse on the Town Hall steps.

I can accept the bare arse on the town hall steps but eating a hat at the same time! That's far too kinky, even for a latics fan........

I wouldn't mind starting with Tarky and Belezika if big Jon goes, I can't for the life of me see how people whinge at Tarky, he's a great young player who will develop, very mature for his age, talks well on the pitch, possible captain if he stays long enough with us.

He was a teacher at Alexander Park Junior school, the old school used to have a wall on which his football training methods were drawn on, the new school as a brass plaque inside.

Below as been copied and pasted from the FA web site.

Walter Winterbottom was the first, youngest and longest-serving England manager, who built a reputation as one of the world’s top coaches and whose work helped pave the way for his successor, Alf Ramsey, to win the World Cup in 1966.

A central defender with Manchester United in the 1930s, he was forced to retire from playing with a spinal injury, but had already laid the groundwork for another career in the game which, after war-time service as a Wing Commander in the RAF, brought him to the attention of The FA.

Winterbottom, aged 33, was appointed national director of coaching in 1946, became England manager the following year and combined both roles until 1962. At a time when The FA International Committee had the final say on team selection, he led England to World Cup Finals in Brazil (1950), Switzerland (1954), Sweden (1958) and Chile (1962).

His record was 78 wins, 33 draws, 28 defeats. The first match produced a 7-2 win over Northern Ireland; the last a 4-0 victory over Wales. Alongside that favourable record, he established a national coaching scheme to nurture young talent, and set up England youth and under-23 teams.

Winterbottom, who later became secretary of the Central Council for Physical Recreation and director-general of the Sports Council, was awarded the OBE, CBE and, in 1978 a knighthood for services to British sport. He died, aged 88, in 2002.

Gerry's punch bag sorted then!

I've never seen our pitch play so badly ( all this season ), he got a bad bounce just has he was going to lay the pass off the ball came of his shin and due to his lack of pace the ball ends up looking poor. The bounce down the flank in front of the main stand is really poor this season it's impossible to read it.

How's about something along the lines of getting behind the team!

How about the chorus from the Saw Doctors To win just Once. u-Tube

To win just once

To win just once

To win just once

Against the odds

To win just once

To win just once

To win just once

That would be enough

Full lyrics ( I think )

To win just once would be enough

For those who’ve lost in life and love

For those who’ve lost their guile and nerve

Their innocence, their drive and verve

For those who feel they’ve been mistreated

Discriminated, robbed or cheated

To claim one victory inspired

To win just once is their desire

To win just once against the odds

And once be smiled on by the Gods

To race with speed along the track

Break the tape and not look back

To never have considered losing

As if to win is by your choosing

Bare you soul for all to find

An honest heart and an open mind

To Win just once

That would be enough

So come all ye fulltime smalltown heroes

Cast away your inbred fears of

Standing out from all the rest

The cynics and the pessimists

The self-indulgent almost rich

The blatant hurlers on the ditch

Time is passing so come on

And face the ball, the game is on
