Looking in Scotland Jamie Macdonald who we bidded for is out of contract if Hull decide to keep Oxley. Crofty is also but I can't see LJ wanting to sign him.

GK: Try and sign Oxley. LB: We could keep Mellor but I don't want to hear any of this he can't run bollocks. Work on his fitness over the summer. Another option is Andy Taylor who's out of contract at Walsall, solid and he's been around this league. CB: keep Grounds (I know in the past I've said he's a natural Left Back but recent performances have convinced me otherwise, he was very comfortable at CB) CB: Joey Jones possibly? Rob Jones is also out of contract at Donny, he was vital in their league win last season. RB: I think LJ could go for Luke Ayling who's out of contract with Yeovil in the summer, only 22 and part of their promotion squad. LM: Try and sign Sir Gary, obviously, Dayton seems to be a good impact sub. If not Dany N'guesson, Tomasz Cywka and Myrie-Williams are some of the players out of contract. CM: Keep Wes. CM: I'm a bit meh about Korey Smith, though I think we should give him another year. RM: Adam Reach is out of contract, I've heard good things about him. Moussa at Coventry is also but I'd imagine he's well out of our price range. ST: I don't know if anybody can remember but a few months ago Sky were reporting that we had bidded for Craig Westcarr, he's out of contract in the summer. I can see LJ going in for him if he doesn't renew at Walsall. ST: Callum Wilson is out of contract though that's highly unlikely, I can see him going to the Championship. Porter, McLeod, Bowditch, Hume, Billy Clarke and Nile Ranger are a few from our league. To be honest I expect a massive clear-out in the summer, I personally wouldn't keep many of the current squad. I would prefer us to have more continuity in terms of starting XI, something to build with.

Can you blame him?

Maybe he got better service at the Dale? Dagnall also bagged 20 that season. Is it such a mystery that the last time we had a 15+ goals striker we had Lids and Taylor on the wings?

Not strictly true.. They've had a promotion and are looking like they'll have another.

Looking at Hogan's previous stats and he doesn't set the world alight, it was a big gamble that paid off.

Flint is a good shout, solid.

Kevin Mcdonald, Forshaw and Sako.

IF it did turn out to be true (highly unlikely) it's worrying that somebody 'ITK' is being poisonous like this.

The most obvious ones are the hardest!

I really hope he's just on the wind-up.

A new troll has appeared, claiming that LJ punched Jack Truelove..

Got bored and decided to make this, how many of the 36 players can you name in four minutes? Post your score and no cheating http://www.sporcle.com/games/oafcryan/oldham-athletic-20132014

It's awful but: Lee Johnson woahhh, Lee Johnson woahhh, he come from Newmarket to manage Athletic...

This stat was just retweeted onto my Twitter timeline, interesting: OptaJoe ‏@OptaJoe 8 mins 1 - Oldham Athletic have scored more than once in just one of their last 16 League One fixtures. Shy. #Opta92

Only negative, deluded trolls would think of questioning the managers tactics, how dare they have the audacity to do such a thing!

I agree with you, Dickov did more in his first season than Johnson has. I just hope we make gradual progression under LJ as opposed to the gradual demise under PD.

Come on.... We saw how much our league form suffered because of the cup run.

End being the imperative word..

He played in less than half of their games.

Agreed. It's not like any of the other 91 pro clubs have negative fans.

Genuine question. What's worse? Clapping/Praising the players after a gutless performance or booing/berating them?

Criticise- fine. But do you really think he should be sacked? I'm fairly happy with our current position.

It was tongue-in-cheek, shouting abuse at the players during a game does absolutely nothing good.
