I'll take it if he pays me a tenner a game.

And nobody regarded him as such before he went on loan.

I doubt if more than you and a handful regard him as "best "now

He's s ores goals div 4- doesn't make him better than everyone else

Get him back, see how he does with lots of confidence

At least we'll have a proven League 2 striker next season.

And the Post of the Week award goes to...

In rare defence of the club, I think there are more factors to consider than juat a prehistoric debt.

Whittaker or Wellens?

Seriously?

Dickov was in charge for as long as Sheridan? Well, I never knew that.

The number of times per season I have had a Latics related erection since 1988.

Blackpool in £3 more than Oldham ticket shock horror.

What a shambles.

Great player in his brief spell for us but not the solution to our current defensive woes. He's at the end of an injury-prone career and is currently Danny Hall's central defensive partner for a team who are 18th in the conference.

Change nothing away from home. The problem isn't there.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. We look like an away team at home.

He admitted picking the wrong team on Saturday.

He did?

He was questioned by BBC Radio Manchester about whether he'd picked the wrong team and his response was - 'possibly'. Hardly a resounding admission of responsibility.

He spent the majority of the interview talking about how poor the players were.

He needs to do what he did when he first came in. He promised boring, but hard to beat football and we lost one in seven.

 

 

But how many did we win? You can't survive by drawing every game.

I've not heard him once take responsibility for a result. Instead, he blames other factors - the budget, the players, and even us, the fans.

I think he'll be given until the new year, regardless of where we are in the league or how low our attendances get.

I, for one, won't be attending another home game until results pick up or there's a managerial change.

Why would Murphey want to come back, he's scoring for fun and close to home at the moment, would you want to come back and play for this guy?

It doesn't matter what Murphy wants. He's an Oldham player.

Don't rate either of them, in all honesty. Neither fill me with great confidence between the sticks.

Heres an idea, fook Poleon right off,another stealing a living.

If he's a footballer i'm diego maradona.

Poleon is hardly the root of our problems.

manager who hasn't got a glue

Gotta love predictive text.

The worst part is that I'm not even angry, I just don't care anymore.

THIS

Massive two fingers from tango man.

Has done wonders since we nearly appointed him.

Which experienced old head are you bringing in?

Jimmy Frizzel?

How come nobody was outraged about this last week?

Because most presumed it was for home AND away fans?

Can you blame them? Poor from the club.

400 mile round trip on a cold Tuesday night in November.

Is it right to put the blame on one man? Probably not. But how he's managed to keep his job is beyond me.

You are right, of course. But bringing him back now, and his confidence will go right back to what it was when we sent him on loan. The crowd will want him to do the same in a higher league, and because we are playing badly, expect him to do so.

So, what are you suggesting? Leave him on loan until we start winning a few games? How long do we wait?

And is League One really that much of a step up from League Two?

There's generally 5 reasons why a club would send a player out on loan:

1. Player development

2. With a view to a permanent move

3. Wage bill

4. Out of favour

5. Out of form

Player development is usually a youth loan and I don't think Murphy's wage is a problem. He was definitley out of favour, and some would argue out of form, but - usually - form and selection go hand in hand.

Murphy is scoring goals. Therefore, unless a 'with a view to a permanent move' deal was agreed before the loan, the club should be recalling the player.

Murphy was out of form and out of favour. The loan move has been a success. Give the guy a second chance.
