The meltdown in here is ridiculous. Some of you need to give your heads a wobble.

Are we as good a team as we showed against Yeovil? No.

Are we as shit a team as we showed last night? No.

We’re inconsistent and will probably finish 15th-10th. We all knew we weren’t good enough to make the playoffs. Didn’t matter if we took 9 points from the last three, we knew we’d faulter a long the way.

People making comments like we should have kept Wild or Bunn need to get off their periods. It’s been 3 fucking game. Scholes is learning on the job, I’d rather he learn his mistakes from now until May. He’s pretty much got a free pass until then. Most of these players are dogshit, some of the worst we’ve ever had. It wasn’t Scholes that signed then, he’s got to work with what he’s got. The best manager in the world won’t turn O’Grady into a prolific nor effective player. 

Signed for Dundalk

Surprised that it’s been 4 seasons. Never had the potential impact that we thought he might, he was highly thought of at Burnley and it seemed an excellent signing, showed a lot of promise in his initial loan spell that he’d do well enough for us to sell at some point. Could never settle in the team due to injuries though.

Wish him all the best, hope he does well at Dundalk.

Got told by a lad in the pub last night that the money saved from the admins disabling reputation is going towards the bid.

That is horrendous to watch

Tbf it doesn’t look like he’s even got eyes on Hamer. Clumsy at worst but no malice intended from what I can tell

The quality was on our side and unlike what I witnessed at the start of the season, we made it count. I wish Branger would fuck about a bit less and put in more effort in winning and chasing the ball, but his numerous one-two with Gevaro were pretty on point in the second half.

Baxter was tremendous and deserved his MOTM although I think Lang had a decent shout for it too.

Top performance capped with two quality goals at the end.

Injured when he signed. Will take a couple of weeks to get fit apparently

Ah, fair enough.

These can't hang with us on the counter. We're tearing them apart. Could get a couple more here

Is the lad we got from West Ham injured? Has he featured at all since signing?

Excellent of him to publicly thank Pete Wild in this way. 

We could start funny game here. Replace "Paul Scholes" with....

And read the quotes back.

Resigns as director of Salford. keeps his stake.

Season ticket holders surely deserve to watch this? Why not put it out on our Twitter pages?

Anyone know if they're streaming the presser on social media?

Or are they putting our biggest appointment since....ever, behind that shit iFollow pay wall?

Goals

Quality strikes from Nepo and Branger and excellently slotted into the net from Dearnley.

Crawley definitely should have took one of those chance before we scored.

If I was a player who'd been done over betting on games they aren't directly involved in I'd be pretty miffed right about now. Especially so if it comes to pass that we meet Salford in direct competition whilst Scholes is in charge.

Still, glad the manager situation is looking like it'll be resolved soon.

Is this now it? Swapping relegation battles in League 1 with mid-table mediocrity in League 2.  

 

 

Nah, don't worry about it. Getting relegated was the best thing for the club, it'll allow us to rebuild so we can go back into League One a rejuvenated club and make a challenge for promotion to The Championship

Get on the blower to Steve Evans

If Scholes isn't in today and there's still issues to sort out they may as well defer his appointment until the summer.

Better team won. 

Might as well hit the snooze button until August. Short of signing 3 or 4 quality players we’ll struggle to make a playoff charge.

Fair play to the lads for getting this far.

The best thing about supporting Oldham is the fan outrage at times like this.

Scholes hasn't even said he's not becoming manager, just that he's not willing to confirm if he's in talks.

And if it's not Scholes, so what? Most fans on here seem resigned that we won't go up this season anyway despite us still being  a couple of wins from the playoffs.

Sit back and enjoy the drama I say.

An Argentinian player who signed for Cardiff for a record fee on Saturday from Nantes is feared dead after a plane he was traveling on went missing. 

Awful shit this. Especially not long after what happened outside the King Power stadium several months ago.

It looks bleak but hoping Emaliano and the pilot turn up safe somehow

It's a fantastic appointment. There's no chance Scholes will tolerate the hoofball and lack of control that we saw yesterday. He'll have us playing good football.

Won't lie, as fans weren't in good voice today.

Macc fans I'm out with said they heard our away fans were the best in the division, but like the players we didn't perform either.

Got told today that Scholes had got it.

Not an awful appointment if it comes with some good signings before the windows ends.
