Both failed at a lower level, not for me personally could see either ending up like Penney. Would sooner see a 1st time manager than either of them.

Yeh Stevesidg you are right and apparently odds have dropped from 16/1 to 3/1 so i'm told. Don't shoot the messenger only telling you what the guy told me.

Been told tonight by an ex Latics player, that a certain ex Latic foreign striker has been personally recommended to Corney by Roy Hodgson his former manager!! Not impressed if he gets it!!

Was talking earlier to bloke whose son plays alongside Wilkinson for Bolton, said doesn't really rate Wilkinson and said he's not a patch on Tom Eaves. Hoping he's wrong!!

I agree JCH didn't do much, at 2-1 down Jonno should have been positive and brought on Gros, can't prove himself to get a longer deal if he's not on the pitch.

Sometimes wonder whether people watch another game?? Brown was one of the better players today, Dayton played well just lacked end product and Gros did a lot more and worked a lot harder than JCH did.

Will we be as happy with these as the majority were with the signing of Mills?

Stay at Oldham where he is a fans favourite, go and play in Aus or sign for league 2 Shrewsbury??? Unbelievable some fans don't have make up some crap pre-season!!!

Thought is was laughable that Oldham fans were told they must stay off the pitch yet the stewards opened the gates in the away end and let them on. Very poorly organised by the police and just good job no bad feeling between the fans as allowing that many on could have led to trouble. Then Derry, Abbott and his players ruined our end of season lap of honour by coming out again to which there fans entered the pitch again yet again the police allowed it to happen. I always thought as a club we have to pay quite a bit extra to have that many police in the ground, yesterday they and the stewards did nothing and were to put it bluntly a waste of space. Last bit of a rant to Barry Owen thought if we invaded the pitch we would be fined by the league so why were their fans clearly allowed and almost encouraged to go on to the pitch!!! Hopefully next season we'll all be on celebrating our promotion!!!

Deffo put some on little ones for the 2nd half, as he was putting tape round them at side of the pitch before start of the 2nd half.

Quality player gets decent crosses in and seems to always cause us problems.

Renewing mine and my 2 lads for Main Stand paddock, planning to move to new stand when finished.

Also think JP has looked pretty decent in games played so far, think would be a good cheap option as cover. Would prefer to see him in the squad than either Millar or Mellor. The games all about opinions though!!

It was Worrall left back, had a good game there.

Crofty & Gary Mc through to Scottish Cup Final with St Johnstone at the expense of Rooney, Vernon & Zola at Aberdeen, even though both missed semi-final through injury.

Yeh Buchanan is ex Tranmere, as is Welsh and quite a few of the original players arrested....allegedly!!!

Koukash investment never meant moving to Salford, only problem was Corney & pals wanting to make their money back through the ground. Koukash valued the club much lower and didnt want to pay the overvalued amount Corney wanted. Think we should have at least explored the Koukash interest further. But heyho we'll plod on the same way we have and probably keep cutting the budget!!

I hope the knobhead remark is not aimed at me Lancy as i sit on row A and don't have any issue with Johnson but it was me who had the conversation with him as i couldn't understand his criticism of Harkins when apart from Ox was clearly our best player by a long way. I could guess the guy in row B maybe the guy behind us who hates Korey & regularly questions Johnson's management.

First Paul Futcher Alltime Andy Ritchie Current James Wesolowski so many faves over years especially in the late eighties early nineties, special mention for Eyresy quality footballer and a top bloke.

Rooney & JCH started together earlier in season against Vale when Rooney scored 2, to me looked a decent partnership & Rooney wasn't played as a target man which suited his game better.

Agree totally Rooney is not a target man & when JCH played this role up front with him he scored 2. Rooney will score the goals if we play to his strengths.

Totally different players, Smithy was a target man & Rooney isn't even though we keep trying to use him as one. No coincidence earlier in season when Clarke-Harris played as target man alongside him Rooney scored 2!!

Play to Rooney's strengths like last week & he will score goals, leaving him up front on his own doesn't work we need 2 up front. Personally wouldn't of took JCH off as a partnership they will click but it's all about opinions!!

Different one for Bury.
