I will when it's libelous.

That's your prerogative but it's not really entertaining for the rest of us.

It's difficult I know but maybe 442 attacking;

Instructions, compete, pass, move, create, score goals.

 

 

Hudson

 

Sachdev

Sutton

Raglan or Hobson

Kitching

 

Atherton

Gardner

Conlon

Walker

 

Fondop

Garner or Norwood.

Well there'd certainly be plenty of goals if that team played !

That's an out and out lie and you should apologise.

I have never sent him an email nor will. I scouted on an unpaid voluntary basis when approached and at 79yo have no wish now to do so for this or any other manager.

Before you post you need to remember the libel laws.

 

Calm down, remember you don't have to respond to every post. 

Too many posters on here looking for adversaries, on both sides. 

Just seen "highlights" from Saturday and the 1st goal is a yard offside but highlights the advantages of crossing early into the box.

Cut and paste it post !

This is a must win.

The latest of many this season !  

What difference does it make how many were there or whether all season tickets are included ?

Thanks. Am not a WUM and don’t have several accounts. I just don’t see why Kitching in singled out when Hammond was and has been poor so far. 
 

so he has potential. Great. He presently looks out of his depth
 

 

 

Because Kitching is getting worse and the chances are Hammond will get better.

One's a seasoned pro and the other having his first taste on men's ( adults  ) football.

Hopefully both will improve and prove their value in the run-in.

The problem is that to date the home games have been lacking in entertainment which coupled with the lack of wins means that for anyone other than the diehards it’s not been a great place to spend your valuable Saturday afternoon.

it’s also clearer this season than ever before that nobody involved in the game sees it as an entertainment business, particularly if you want more bums on seats. In addition to our lack of flair players I’m fed up of seeing everyone slow the game down every time it naturally stops; players on both sides take an age at throw ins, at goal kicks, at corner kicks and the refs are to blame too by making sure everyone is set before finally whistling for free kicks to be taken.

Maybe  it’s just me.

 

agree with you about the lackadaisical way our players traipse around notably our keeper who seems to have to do a couple of "keepy-uppys" before every goal kick and then changing his mind a few times whether to go short or long.

But there’ll be no break because the rugby season runs until September I think?

Yes but it is the "growing season" so it should be fine.

Green's injury could open the door for Atherton ?

Norwood looked a little off the pace to me but could be a game changer off the bench.

Noticed the players were training on it this week, perhaps Chapel Road wasn't fit, so if the Roughyeads are doing the same it will be under pressure.

Hopefully it'll rejuvenate itself a bit during the summer months when we get  a bit of dry weather.

Why Hammond was kept on so long is a mystery.

He runs. That’s basically it?

He provides energy in midfield which we obviously need when it contains McGahey so was left on as long as possible.

I've no professional expertise but am confident he'll prove to be a good signing.

Ja Mein Fuhrer

You're not doing yourself any favours here, back off a bit.

I thought he was poor against York, poor against Kidderminster and the worst of our midfield on Tuesday. Don't think I've seen him in any other matches...

He does bring much needed youthful energy to our midfield and , given time, will prove a useful acquisition.

You can be sure it will re-emerge every time we don't win.

 

Only by the same strident voices !

Yeah there's a bit of the Alfie McAlmont about him isn't there

He got abuse from some on here for his cameo debut when I thought he did OK closing opponents down and on Saturday was virtually our only bright light and outlet going forward.

Some people expect the finished article when in truth these youngsters are learning the trade and improvement may only be gradual.

He does bring energy to our midfield which we can all agree is mostly lacking.

Give the lad time and I'm sure he'll prove to be a good signing.

Yea, it was Iceland. They donated 500k last time and 100k this time I think I read.

Your fingers are obviously much younger than mine !!

I’ve seen it publicised that the total raised from his two combined rows is around £1.3 million. I wonder how come the first row raised so much more money, as it seems the row this time has gained so much more publicity (or maybe it’s only on my radar because of the football club).

 

Magnificent achievement and I hope the media attention continues to help grow the Just Giving final total.

One of his sponsors matched the money raised on his 1st row, I may have made this up but I'm sure I read it somewhere. 

Think it was Iceland matched the full amount raised last time but limited it to £100,000 this.

How much longer is Norwood out for?

 

And what's going on with Dallas and Walker?

 

Finding out injury news these days (in the post Oldham Chron world) seems to be very difficult...

 

Mellon said probably back next week , though that's just training.
