  1. Yeah, I said to my dad at the time that Lockwood had saved him.
  2. Thought he played well but how he only got a yellow for that shocking tackle in the first half is beyond me!
  3. Can't believe people are criticising Rachubka for using his top hand for their third goal. If he'd gone with his left hand he wouldn't have got anywhere near it. Then there's the deflection which makes it extremely difficult to stop - it's almost inevitable that it goes in when it loops like that. If Rachubka had saved that it would have been a remarkable effort.
  4. Wouldn't be surprised to see Brown play at LB
  5. I'm at university at the moment so it isn't as easy for me to get to games as it used to be. Before, I made the effort - now, I don't think I'll bother. When I'm home I think I might miss a couple of games that I could have easily gone to as my small form of protest, because I can't bring myself to begin cheering a goal and then look at who's celebrating and seeing his face. After that; I'm an Oldham fan, and I don't think I can stay away in the long term, but the club have made it a lot easier for me to.
  6. People have brought this up a lot about Lockwood, but I think he doesn't get enough credit for his ability on the ball. He played some lovely passes last season that led to goals, and with Kelly dropping deeper to collect the ball off the two centre-halves his job will be made even easier. For me, he's a better defender than both Dieng and Kusunga and is a good passer; when match fit and with no Elokobi, should be an easy decision for LJ.
  7. I always thought Tarkowski and Winchester had that little bit extra of ability which would see them establish themselves in our side. I've never really gotten that impression with Mellor.
  8. That isn't his wrong hand... Nearly every goalkeeper would have used the same hand for that shot. If he'd had saved that it would have been a remarkable save.
  9. Poleon is that quick he doesn't need to be in offside positions
  10. Did he not make some good saves which kept the scores level on Tuesday then?
  11. Perfect, I'll be able to go to that away day when I'm at uni now!
  12. Don't get this Rachubka hate. He's not the best keeper in the division but he's solid and anyone who says he should have saved the Port Vale goal on Tuesday needs their head checking.
  13. When I was about 7 I met Paul Scholes at Whit Friday and had a kick about with him and his son.
  14. Diagouraga from Brentford would be brilliant, powerful central midfielder. I'd also like us to try and sign Adam Smith from Halifax, he's the type of winger we've been missing all season - quick, can beat a man and has a great cross on him
  15. The 'Is He Here Yet Award' goes to Tom Taiwo... Postman Matt tells us he'll definitely be here to collect it anytime soon.
  16. Can't win with some people, we're unbeaten in seven with a defence that's very settled. Get a striker and winger in next season and we'll be set.
  17. We wouldn't be badly set with a set of strikers that went: JCH, MacDonald, Philli, Turner, NEW.
  18. Can pick out a pass well and is clearly confident when the ball's at his feet. I'd even go as far to say that he's learning to use his body to create space, if you watch him when he's receiving the ball he quite often feints to go one way before going the other to give himself a bit extra space. I agree that he's physically weak, but on the ball he's one of the better midfielders in our team.
  19. Would definitely give Winchester another year, he's very strong technically on the ball.
