What's he saying?

I don't want Scholes but I voted him over Dowie because I really don't want him.

He did say the Golden Ticket scheme came out of his money, so it can be assumed that he is funding Oldham as well.

Good luck PD in the future, a great guy and a crying shame it didn't work here.

He is a midfielder isn't he?

What are chances of the game being on? If it's called I'll be lucky to get there because of work.

Depends what team they put out

Taylor played left mid, Tom A was right back Lee was left back

How I see it

Cisak/Bouzy same 0

Tom A/Wabara +1

Diamond/Bryne -1

M'Voto

Lee/Grounds +1

Scapuzzi/Croft +1

Furman/Changy -1

Wes

Taylor/Simpson -1

Simpson/Baxter +1

Kuqi/Smith -1

So equal

He isn't going anywhere until the league game after Liverpool

Corney himself has been quoted as saying on more than one occasion 'if he walked away tomorrow the club would survive', 'If I was hit by a bus the club would survive' which asks the question, what exactly is he bringing to the table, and what exactly is he taking from the table?

Did he say in what form?

He isn't going to be sacked while he has no backroom staff, we need staff in soon.

Yes! It would just be a nice gesture to the fans queuing up in the freezing cold to get a ticket to watch a team of footballers who get paid far too much. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, it just would have been nice to know that the club doesn't just see everything as a money making opportunity!

I hate statements like this, typical rubbish trolled out to moan about something we as fans know little about. I have no idea what any of the Oldham lads are on but doubt it is huge amounts, and Liverpool players are on a lot granted but who deciedes what is too much? What should they be paid? I'm not saying wages aren't out of control, but it only ever gets mentioned when the person is moaning about something.

Another bugbear for me is "he didn't his wages today" but that's another debate for a different day, anyway well done Latics for sourcing another form of small though it maybe revenue.

Well, seeing as though I'm not a Bookmaker, nope!

 

There's some proper donkey :censored: in our League. Scunthorpe, Pompey, Hartlepool, Shrewsbury will drop.

Agree we won't go down

Hartlepool down more or less already, Shrewsbury were worst team I've seen at BP for a long time including Latics, Scunthrope will be ok but Bury or Colchester will go and lets not forget Pompey's 10 point deduction

As I said, PD not got the best options, but yep today i would have.

 

A tired croft offers nothing, a fresh brown might, it's not as simple as, he s an attacker , he's a defender , a full back can play wide midfield , it's not like I'm saying play brown up top is it ?

 

Again, your opinions welcome, what would you have done ?

I don't think what Dickov did today was that bad, even going three at the back wasn't a bad move. The mistake was putting Millar in centre midfield, Hughes should have been on before him anyway.

Doesn't matter what I would do, I have nt spent most of my life in professional football.

 

But seen as you ask . .

 

Taylor straight swap for smith , croft off he was shattered , brown on. That would have been on the hour Mark , give it 10, then mellor for Winchester who gave a lot and made some good runs to give Jose someone to look for, thus was knackered too, mellor left, Jose n changy in middle, Simmo off taylor , leaving FOUR at the back, 2 fresh wide men, our best player in the centre getting in the ball, Simmo in his ( apparently ) best position, and a forward who can actually run the channels , which hard as smithy tries, he can't do.

 

So that's what I'd have done but I'm sure many will disagree , obv PD ain't got the best options but you have to utilise what you've got rather than the same failed tactics time and time again.

So in order to chase a game, you would take an attacker to bring a defender on? So guessing you don't the three players we had on the bench who could all play that position or is Brown the new Dan Taylor?

I hate say it but scrap it, you can't use the argument of producing players because none could enough would be. At £12k a pop Prem clubs will be bagging any kid with a hint of potential leaving us to train the rest. Will just have to bring in United/City cast offs and keep U18 side if we can.

Personally I'm gutted st holders don't get 2 per person it's really simplistic and quite naive to think all will bring another person, what it means is I won't be able to bring along someone whose been to more games then most.

You missed the meeting where they were giving them out, clearly not that big a fan.

Season ticket holders get first but limited to 2 per season ticket (before anyone argues many like myself bring their partners, mates whoever every now and again and would like to sit next to them), then voucher from Sat's game, then general but limited to 4 at a time.

All I'm going to say is what a cross for Simmo's second, summed up his second half performance.

Without doubt, also don't forget Europe. Now Dickov make it so.

"Hello and welcome to the ITV the channel for the half-arsed football"

I think today was just a match they had to get through before a new lot of staff could be brought in, I might be one of the few that things Dickov's positoned has possibly been strengthed depending on who comes in. If new staff come in is SC likely to get rid of Dickov and pay for new staff again? If Tony P gets a promotion it would mean a manager could be brought in without anyone besides Dickov being sacked and if a former expirenced manager is brought in to advise Dickov then he could prove to be a huge threat.

If someone like Horton comes in then expect Dickov to be here at least until the end of the season, if Phil Brown or someone similar is on the way to BP he will be gone before Febuary and if Tony P earns a promotion then it's anyone's guess what the future holds.

Maybe Dickov has chosen to change his approach to the players, let someone like Tony P be the mate and shoulder to cry on while PD is the tougher, harsher on. May well work, also with Tony P as number 2 more youth lads would be brought through.

A strange move but if Corney sees more than us and I think he must have done it with the approval of Dickov, there are options out there who could do a good job as assitant/advisor. Shame about Duxbury although I did sit behind him during the Bury game and he spent the whole chatting to a woman driectly behind, he didn't seem too interested in the game. If it was his wife and she's ill then fair enough, I think Paul Gerrard will be stay but his position will come under review depending on who is brought in.
