Never a penalty in a million years. Complete Dive, he was waiting for the contact that didn't (and if so barely) come. But Well done Philly, we'll take them all day

initial allocation of 600 Sold out. 1000 available on the day. Got to be looking at 1k oldham fans should be a good atmosphere come on oldham!

Anyone on here paying on the day?

We'll sell out. Disgrace if we don't particularly the way we're playing.

We are incredible

Hopefully todays result will get a few more going, should be taking loads to be honest unbeaten in 10 and just outside the play offs

Best singular performance from a latics player in years. Even without his goal he was sensational today

We are on an 8 match unbeaten run yes, this SHOULD bring a few more back. But still we sit 12th in the table...if we were on an 8 match unbeaten run and most of those results were wins (and we sat about 4th-2nd) more would come.

However long term I honestly think the club needs a promotion before people come back full time. I think if we got into the championship season ticket sales would probably double (maybe pushing it, but would increase dramatically). I think our average attendance would increase from about 4.5k to 8-9k due to more latics fans and increased away gates.

 

Did we sell out last time?

We did the first time but not the next season - wasn't far off a sell out but we were doing :censored:e if I remember correctly and it was essentially a nothing game. Still should be selling out it's practically a home game

We only get 3500 at home, taking 2500 now would be a good turn out. A few years ago it was our first games for years.

 

I think we will take about 2700

Yes but quite a few only go to away matches plus every man and his dog will come out of the wood work for this one.

Usual allocation at Spotland is 3200. I can't believe some people think we might not sell out. It's a disgrace if we don't (we will).

First trip to London road for me - will be tough but I can see us getting a draw. Like others say they don't have the firepower they have had in recent years so hopefully we can keep them out and maybe nick a 0-1!?

2 in 10 last time I checked the league table...

Be rude not to count the unbeaten run at the end of last season

I'm looking forward to next weeks stat - we beat Peterborough for first time in 9 years at London road

Hope your right - first trip to London Road for me. Will be tough but I think we'll get a point.

We've lost twice in 20 league games - or is that too positive? :P

How many tickets are we normally given at Spotland?

3200

Mills hasn't looked the player we had on loan last season but yesterday he was fantastic. Their main outlet is their right winger who is a very good player and will be tough for most full backs in this league but he hardly had a sniff yesterday except one time when Mills dived in. Well played Mills lad.

In short, we should have won yesterday. Had all of the ball, had the chances, just got to stick it away. Defence look rock solid. Wilson is a classy player but far too many times yesterday he chipped a hopeless ball up the line and we lost possession, must have happened 6 or 7 times in the second half. 2 defeats in 17 league games still - Roll on Swindon and County.

LJ Out

It's a yes from me and as for when hopefully soon as the Loan Market opens up again in about a week for a couple of months.

I think saturday will be the test, Win that and suddenly a poor start to the season becomes an okay/pretty good start to the season. Confidence will be high throughout too.

Perhaps the team are starting to click? again it would be typical latics to bring us back down to earth on saturday with a home defeat but a win there would see us on a 3 match win streak and most likely be around 12th-9th in the table depending on other results.

Fleetwood set off like a house on fire but their last 3 results have been 2 draw's and 1 defeat, with 2 being at home, so their nothing to be afraid of.

It will be interesting to see what LJ does regarding the team but I would simply swap JCH for Poleon and keep it as it was. The Doncaster performance was very impressive particularly 2nd half where we could (and should) of had 2/3 goals.

I think LJ has learned from last season that making 3/4 changes every game isn't very good and doesn't allow the players to get used to each other (unless you are someone like City, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool who have incredible depth).

There definitely has been a turn of confidence but saturday for me is key, we lose that and suddenly people will think we're destined for the drop again.

I clocked this the other day too and like you say it's just asking for trouble

Winchester na na na.

This.

Also for Elokobi I think the Suarez song that Liverpool did would be awesome for him he'd love it.

Don't think its all ticket - believe you can buy a ticket at Doncaster but it's not cash at the turnstiles.

Think Winchester (along with Forte) has been our best player (by some distance) so far this season and that's out of position. Today I don't think he was great to be honest but when he caused problems he was picking it up in space in the centre of midfield and actually running at the opposition. He HAS to be put in Centre midfield - none of this on the wing :censored:e, he's not a winger.

The team run round like headless chickens 40-50 yards from goal doing 5 yard passes. 2 family members came today for their first match - they couldn't put it better when they asked "why is there so much hesitation?". We get the ball, look up, see nothing, either pass it 5 yards to the side or 10 yards back to Elekobi/Wilson - rinse and repeat. The players need to realise at times it's okay to run forward with the ball. It doesn't need to be pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass (still in defence at this point) then hoof to JCH. It's like we :censored: it when we have the ball

They're all :censored: and we're going down.

pissed at this lol

Sure we'll make a racket either way - hoping for at least 1000 though. Bet a few will think "oh F*** it" on saturday morning and drive up.

Would be typical latics to win this.

4/5 us going total - already got tickets. Hoping there's a decent following since Preston on a saturday has been what people have wanted for the past couple of years!
