I was amazed when we got rid of Tierney. I always thought he had lots of promise and real character.

Yes, I did realise that it had been done by both. I was trying to make a joke. Sorry.

The first 4 you can look at either way. So to say that we need a miracle is silly, and that's the point I was answering. I don't know where you got your "information" from for E but do rather suspect that you are purely making it up rather than (a) knowing what all his targets were and whether he got them or not ( having real facts about him not being involved in our new signings for January. I still need an answer to F ! :-)

A. We are one win away from being ahead of Bury and out of the relegation zone. B. We have a game in hand on all the others. C. Bury have one point in 10 games, and that's against the team that we are up against next. D. We beat Scunthorpe 2-0, there are very small margins in this division. E. The manager was given a massive handicap with the situation at the start of the season and the new restricted loan system, we haven't really seen what he can do yet. F. What have Boney M got to do with this anyway?

Great to see that you are able to respond with so much depth and substance. It seems like you are the person we've all been waiting for to turn this ship around.

Indeed

Thanks for those highlights. Some really good play esp from Flynn and Ladapo .

Another crate of brown ale for Monsieur?

0-7 away at MK Dongs. I don't miss the way we played that day .

I'd settle for some admission control. Everybody in every article has to admit at least 3 things. "We played well" admitted Robinson. "All 11 players ran their socks off" he admitted "and I'll admit that I'm pleased with them".

Nope, just the famous Cristiano Montano defending in the box for a corner at Stevenage, picking up the loose ball, running the length of the pitch and scoring the best goal I've seen from us in a long time.

"None of them were ripping up trees prior to joining us were they? In fact there were a few complaints about us getting reserves from Burton and Wycombe! But they all either went back as better more confident players to feature more often for their club or were sold on by their clubs to make them the profit" After keeping us safe from relegation .

Deep breath and...........................relax.

Apparently "Clubs will be permitted to sign a goalkeeper on a seven day ‘emergency loan’ basis if they do not have a senior goalkeeper that has made 5 starting appearances in first team football." So every time Kettings appears in the U23 kick about thingy it takes us closer to "no".

Good grief - what utter crap.

Thanks!

What happened to Lee Knight and Danny Byrnes? Someone said they were going out on loan, but heard nothing about that.

Is the correct answer. Someone further up the thread made a good guess as to who those 5 will be.

I think SR: A wanted to give them a rest B didn't want them injured and C needed to get some game time into the other players. So he didn't have much choice. The big upside for winning would be more decent reserve games, he probably doesn't care a lot whether he wins or not.

I think you need a few more zeros in your name. Like your content.

It's about whether we made any progress game by game, although I fully agree that it's gone way off piste. I know that I should ignore it but, frankly, the moaners put me off supporting OAFC more than any incompetent administrator could ever do. Totally new football staff (management and squad) competing really quite well with good organisation, purpose and spirit after a few weeks and some people can only come up with negatives. I find it puzzling and sad.
