Commentary mentioned it but Norwood and Mellon never celebrated, it's as if they expect to win.

A few hiccups but thought lundstram was compose and fondop to target pushed us up the pitch and kept possession well when we had it.

Rachubka

I thought we had Ben Amos and Rachubka from MU and they are both English.

We had Lee Grant and many other very solid GKs on loan in the past

First game of the season 5 yellow cards and a red card.... Screams I'll discipline and poor attitude, not exactly a winning formula.

Cannot even stay bottom.

Aldershot 5-0 Oxford City

5-1 now, don't worry we are bottom.

On the commentary sounded like a horrific challenge....

Tbh the squad seem to have very poor discipline and will cost us alot of players missing games if we can't stop gobbing off to the official.

It's ok having an edge but we need our experienced players to keep their heads.

I'm thankful to be reading a football forum where people are moaning about the football, the result, manager, tactics etc.

Think back how many years the football hasn't really mattered other than losing money and prestige.

It nice to be able to talk about my football team with other fans without the 10mins rant of what our owners have been up to now.

I don't get to games anymore but I can buy my children kits and merch I'm happy for them to wear.

Interesting that the atlheticos have almost raise 3k already for banners etc on go fund me.

Is this something we should look at in a general sense?

Just finished watching the "Four year plan" documentary based on QPR ownership om their way to the prem, the early day interference and its impact....feels like we are in year two looking at the similarities.

Obviously we are no where near the financial level but it was interesting to see the change in the club when the interference stops and they stepped back and let the football people do their jobs.

Here is hoping we can eventually turn a corner aswell but I'm just finding straws to clutch now.

Also living in Worcester now and from what I can gather the RU, basketball and Hockey teams are well funded and are on the rise. Where as the football team has been fighting with the council for land to build a stadium on since the last ground was demolished for housing (don't know why without digging into it, so they may never have owned it)

Around the time Lee Hughes (the same) was there manager they got in financial issues and had no ground so they elected to be relegated down further in the leagues to avoid alot more financial fines etc.

So not too dissimilar to other football teams where it's not the go to sporting event for that town/area.

At least that's the story from fans I know at work and also throw into it the lower league clubs like Kidderminster etc they are also competing with.

Why on flash scores does it say Paul Scholes is playing in midfield ? 

I saw the same and thought it was Scholes-beard but click the profile and its Paul Scholes coach haha

I'm not a season ticket holder and try get to games when I can. But it seems like not only a well thought out plan but incentives to bring in more support.

Really happy with the result but some of stuff being written make it look like we've never won a game before.

Sky article

Hopefully the coverage continues to be positive but about the club and our great fans not just Scholes.

Gone within a month if our owner doesn’t change his ways

Might not even take the job or manage a game Imif everything put on here is true.

Dearnley add more forward movement  and hit the line and crossed the ball every time....wow!.

Took a while to start passing the ball but much better last 30 mins

Watching the stream I did see both Baxter and Clarke grabbing and pointing at branger and others alot during the second half.

At one point when lang won the free kick on the edge of the box Clarke looked as if he had to force Branger away as he wanted to take it and looked to be sulking a bit.

Wonder if that has anything to do with Baxters "comments".

Either way thought we were unlucky but just hoping we don't sleepwalk to the end of the season now.

It's a yes from me if it about bringing in players alongside the manager for trials and training to see fit and spreading the net as wide as possible.

A huge no if like has been hinted at the manager doesn't want them and are signed anyway or worse yet made to play them.

Many teams run a Head Coach role and I'm fine with that as a team our size with little to no scouting team should use what ever contacts we have.

But manager/head coach MUST have the final say.

Even with the VAR that was the slightest brush on the top of his boots so hate to see those given.

Big shout out the branger-engone, he called the calm down alot with loads of running aswell.

Massively proud of the noise I'm hearing from our fans. We do ourselves proud in the respect.

Now let's see if we can grab something, only need that one chance!

Come on Oldham!!!

An announcement would have been nice to counter the negative news from twitter, BBC etc just to stop rumours.

Played for Royton Town recently in 1-0 loss.

BBC still obsessed on reporting on him.

I'd have gone for British Rail sandwich at the end of the return journey from London to Aberdeen  - but that's probably just a generational thing.

I'm not sure I'd see any potential in that option tbh. You wouldn't even get your reserved seat in which to sit down and eat it.

Steak bake...perfect description tbh
