Fucking let them if they’re that mardy. Sone can see the bigger picture.

The bigger picture isn't giving new deals to Devarn Green and Mike Fondop...

I agree with you. My concern is we've thrown a good few quid at it and been shit, if the budget is down considerably, the club may well be thinking along the lines of consolidation which is unacceptable imo.

I'm pretty certain that we will spend a fair bit of money again over the summer...

I'll also stick my head above the parapet on this. Of all the players currently on our books he's the best we've got at CDM and we know he's a CB by trade and has covered RB too. He's smart at breaking up play and covering from CDM, he works really hard. He's mentally strong, coming back from that back injury showed real fortitude and I don't think he's missed a game through injury since he came back.

 

Unless we're signing two better CDMs, or he's overpaid for what he does, it's an easy decision to keep him for me. 

He's done a great job at being crap in 3 different positions...

Irrespective of my opinion on the subject, I’d rather the NL represent the views of their member clubs than make unilateral decisions on stuff like this. 

That is probably fair enough. My point is I'd rather lose at home to Eastleigh than have to travel there in a replay on a Tuesday in November to lose anyway...

I'm glad the NL haven't jumped on the bandwagon. No replays make for a much better competition and there's more chance of giantkillings in a one off game...

Ironic considering we brought him to the club to try and change the style of how we played.  He was meant to be creative and bring positively to the team.

Yep...

He knew who the manager was when he signed though? Mellon had already been here a couple of months. 

Pass. It's worth noting though, that it seemed like it was just the opinion of his family and not necessarily anything that has come from Conlon himself...

Yes it was either Brad or Paddy, they will probably confirm. 

It was me, they were stood behind me at Ebbsfleet. And yep, they said that...

I genuinely think the only OOC player worth a discussion is Gardner, and even then it has to be on £150 a week with £500 appearance fee...

I would be happy to keep him, but Eyresy has a point : my stance is more due to his previous track record as opposed to anything he's done here since his appointment. His recent interviews have made me think he might knock it on the head after Wealdstone, but then last night he seemed much more positive about the squad in his interview...

They were shit long before the booing started.

 

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation so effort is probably needed on both parts, I've got to say though this group is the most detached I've ever seen from the fans and from the outside as has been mentioned it looks like it's full of over flated egos and bad attitudes which for an older group of players is just weird.

Booing is justified in some areas (for example, failing to score against Oxford City is definitely worthy of a boo), but I do reckon booing has just been rolled out wily-nilly since February time. That performance last night, whilst certainly not being great, didn't justify boos in my opinion. Incidentally, I was stood on the front row and didn't hear any of these supposed boos that apparently greeted Norwood's arrival. 

The game was just a bit "meh". On balance of play, they probably just about shaded it, especially towards the end...

And you said that there would be more than 1400 Latics fans there.

I did, but that wasn't when I was stood in the away end and could see how many people were there...

Spoke to the police officer I know said official attendance through the door was 920

But you said on Twitter there were 1000 Oldham fans there...

That's because they are starting 2 weeks later in mid August. 

Isn't that because of Euros and Olympics...?

Let's guess the gate for tomorrow night.   I think 1,400.

There will be 1,400 just from Oldham...

Be funny looking around the away end  tomorrow and seeing loads of people who were adamant that they were getting a refund...

Harrison is on 800 a week as he signed during the Abdallah embargo days. same for Hope.

There will have been clauses for their contracts to be bumped up. Don't forget when they signed, we could only sign players on one year deals and they're still here nearly 3 years on.

Release all OOC players for me. Gardner the only one I'm dubious about, problem is he can't stay bloody fit. He's even playing with an injury now - probably because he's trying to get a new deal...

Crazy to think he's got any chance at all of taking such a tiny club like Barrow to such great heights and he was definitely the right man for the job here.

Actually cared, he knew the club inside out and had a very good rapport with the fan's, 

One that got away instead of the one's you want to get as far away as possible 

 

Hmmm. Macclesfield away under him was as bad as anything we've seen under Mellon. And Northampton, Exeter and Newport wasn't much better...

Every time I listen to one of his interviews, I become more convinced that he's going to resign after the Wealdstone game...

An interesting selection from one person to retain Windass.

 

None I'd keep.

John Sheridan must have logged on in a desperate bid to do another favour for his mate...

I've ordered one but it's nothing to do with thanking - it's just cos I'm an Oldham fan...

Was it only 5 in league?  It's wiki I'm going from!    Thought it was more than that in league as well!    Wonder what our best home record has been since those two play off seasons. 

 

 Those two sides were definitely worth watching even though they had so many home defeats (not that I remembered it like that though!!).

Not sure on exact numbers but certainly more than 5 in league; 4 against Mansfield, 1 against Bristol, 1 against Tranmere and 2 against Swindon immediately come to mind. Probably a few others along the way...

Another stat from Dowie's season is that Wijnhard only scored 5 goals??  Why do i think he done so much better!  I thought he got at least double figures!!

That's definitely not true. Wijnhard scored 5 goals in 4 days that season and definitely got a few more along the way...
