If you think he was :censored:e what did you think of JYM and Byrne who were the pairing when we managed one point out of twenty seven points when Dickov was in charge. This is where some Oldham fans don't give the young lads coming through a chance to develop and just slag them off, just like Mellor, Winchester and Miller. I back Tarkowski to prove these Oldham wrong.

Tarkowski really had no option but to go believe me. I wish him well for his future and hope he can carry on developing as he has done over his time hear especially this last year where he was given a chance by LJ.

I have a spare ticket for the match tonight in the latics end. If Anyone is interested leave your phone number and I will phone you.

I would pick six. The core of the team Grounds, Tarkowski, Smith, Wes, Philly and Clark Harris.

Could someone who went to the match give me a assessment on how each player performed and what changes need to be made for next weeks game.

Totally agree he would be better staying put and get regular football under his belt and develop more under LJs football philposhpy.

Always had the ability but just needed to fill out and gain strength which he as. Plus stay injury free and keep his concentration levels up.

I have no reason to wind anyone up. I will keep you informed if I hear any news. A Tarky fan?No! But do know of him through junior football.

I have good information that he is still an Oldham player and will most likely will be tomorrow.

Not 100% but I don't think any.

So your saying there was no problem with the defence even though it was one of the worse runs for years. So Tarkowski could have played in that run and you would have been happy with his performance?

So what was the problem.

Remember last season Byrne played in that great run of games of one point out of twenty seven.

Excuse my spelling. His grandad was Polish so I would have thought so.

HIs. Grand was Polish so i would have though so.

Oldham 3 land of the giants 1 ! Reasons for Tarkowski's improvement. His feet problems he suffered previous years are behind him allowing him to be fit, physically bigger and playing football instead of launching the the ball forward as under previous manager.

I believe a new team in Carlisle.

The forward was running away from the goal, Tarky had him covered but the goalie should have stayed. Will also add the player dived as I could see from where I sat and as viewed on TV . Tarky was arguing the point with the ref.

Was Tarky the one who was centre back when we managed one point out of twenty seven last season,no,but Byrne was.

LJ attacking tactics are going to put the defence under pressure with both full backs pushing right up on the flanks to support the attack which will leave no cover to support the CBs especially when the opposition was the calibre of Derby. Admittedly the CBs are young and not very experience but what they do have is the ability to pass the ball as shown over the recent games. I think LJ needs to let the defence drop a little deeper and sacrifice at least one of the full backs pushing up to much to provide more cover. As for Bryne coming in due to his experience I don't agree as his career so far has been lower league and not use to Championship football and is not as quick as Tarkowski and Mellor. What Derby did last night was to play deep and we found our forwards struggling to penetrate. I am happy to continue with the attacking policy as it is enjoyable to watch which makes a change over recent seasons.

Your spot on with your post. When you are committed to attack like we were yesterday and play a high defensive line you are bound to be more vulnerable at the back. I rather have footballing centre backs than someone launching the ball into the stands. Keep it up boys, great entertainment.

Only got one point out of twenty seven when BYrne was on the pitch. At least we won.

No far from it ,I think the Tarkowski and Mellor are more of a football playing partnership than previous pairings and it suits LJ style of play which is attacking and will leave the defence more exposed. As they say you can't have your cake and eat it too.
