Not if they're contracted to us!

Would love to know there basic pay before bonuses but id hazard a guess that Clarke, Green and Flynn are on over £1k, and a decent chunk will be in the £700 - £999 category, ill give them directions to Home Bargains they can get a dozen free range eggs and 6 tins of heinz for about £3.50 breakfasts sorted

Completely agree myself with them not getting fed and watered, some of these players will be on > £1k a week why should they get waited on twice a day for being wank? Making them scramble there own eggs and putting some beans on the hob or putting porridge in the microwave at home before they rock up for training at about 10am, bless them dont know how they'll cope

Erwin's overhead strike from 25 yards was what pushed me to leave earlier than I've ever left a match before. Highlighted just how utterly clueless we are in front of goal. I don't recall ever leaving a ground genuinely sad, but I did today when I thought about what we had become, it's such a sorry sight. At least under Kelly there was vocal anger about the situation, this time we're going down without a whimper. I'm firmly of the opinion booing and opposing :censored:e football does help at times, and we can't even muster that anymore.

 

It's not that Robinson doesn't recognise our lack of goals - anybody can - it's the strange idea that we're somehow constantly "turning the corner" and then reverting back. We've put in better performances than others when some players like Flynn have been arsed to turn up, but in no way have we ever turned the corner.

 

Of course we're in desperate need of additions - I've vocally supported Robinson in light of the shambles he inherited - but I've never watched us play away from home against a side looking as insipid as we must do, as clueless and spineless as we were today - bet they laughed all the way back to Essex. We've got no self-respect under this regime, playing this way. It's stripped us of all dignity and, frankly, it's embarrassing to witness as a supporter. I'd rather we went down with a fight than this vacuous, turgid, vapid football we play which will send us to League Two in any case.

 

I hope the manager and owner and players read this, because I don't think it's got through to them how :censored:ing pathetic we are. I hope you're as embarrassed as we are.

Couldn't put it better myself

Like many comments on this today, I seemed to be resigned to the fact that we were going to lose and was looking at my watch for the minute to leave the ground and try and make the most of the Saturday I had remaining. All of them were shocking today only slight positives were Croft & Winchester for 10 minutes after the break, but what is the point in them both as "professional" footballers if they have only got 45 mins tops in them? Looks as if Reckord is the only one of the debacle at Lincoln who to quote Robinson "will never play for me again", well I would love to hear why Ladapo, Burgess Green, Erwin & Banks arn't in that category because they are woeful, long struggle ahead and resigned but ultimately if im honest not arsed that ill be traipsing my arse to Barnet next year

More likely backbone/spine deficiencies

Kudos

Never understood how anyone could want this......

Fair does, just been reading a few articles on how they came back from the bottom. What are the main reasons for your response? Would you still attend games if it ended up going that way?

After reading through this topic, was just wondering if it got to the stage that the club had to reform I.e like Wimbledon and Chester, would the stay aways from Corney come back? and would current attendees be content if we had to start from the bottom of the pyramid?

Im that disillusioned at the moment im beginning to wonder what it would be like if it came to starting from scratch and try and rebuild. Must admit I'm extremely intrigued by it because im bored rigid of how it is currently, and the only think keeping me going currently is a good drink and random away trip weekends with the lads

Wanting administration or relegation is very different to not being scared about the potential consequences of it. Don't confuse the two. Relegation and admin are fraught with risk and danger but any fan can see that keeping us in this division is not something to be pursued at all costs. It is not the holy grail for heavens sake and whilst we continue to treat it as such, the club and fans are losing out in so many more ways.

 

The lack of charm, character and soul within the football club and the negativity around everything OAFC causes me much more saddest than would be caused by seeing us play the likes of Barrow every week. I would rather we focused our efforts on returning some of the love around the place. Why has our north stand not got a name, why has it not been officially opened, why were the flags removed from the Rochdale Road end, why has the north stand not got any signage on it that defines it as part of OAFC.

On route back now, absolutely horrendous, the 2 goals papered over the cracks of a really unhappy away following.

Get rid of Reckord absolute joke of a footballer, Burgess is piss poor in the air, ball at his feet n soft as s**t in a challenge, Green's legs gone completely, Banks a :censored:house, Winchester not got it cant keep giving him chances, Erwin a pampered Championship player with a shocking attitude and I will carry Ladapo on my back to Palace tomorrow he's a pathetic excuse of a centre forward....apart from that lost for words

 

"1990 the year of Oldham...."

Always thought there should have been a specific Oldham terrace chant to this tune

People are talking about this January transfer window, like we are in a position financially to make a massive impact.

 

The reason we have the squad we have now is because we haven't got a pot to piss in.

 

I really can't see a whole lot changing aside from trying to get a better quality of loanee.

Understand we havnt got a pot to piss in which is why we need to cut the cloth I e the crap we've got now to use our resources better.

If off a guess -

Klok £450

Woodland £350

Croft/ Winchester £500

Lad from Hull £400

One of the left backs £550

Loan wages of 2 of the 3 strikers £1500

Thats c.£3k a week rather bring 3 better players in on £1k a week than players who hardly touch the grass or ones who look like they dont want to be on it.

Like 99% of the fans im thoroughly depressed with the feeble attacking performances this season, but I thought we'd have been in the relegation zone at this stage of the season after the summer debacle.

Im not convinced myself by the gaffer but I would give Robinson the next transfer window to try and change things. I think out of the hastily put together squad there will be 8 out in January, Burgess and get Gerrard in, one of the left backs as there both rank average if that good, Woodland not good enough, Klok will never make a professional footballer, the winger from Hull forgot his name he's made that much of an impression, one of Winchester or Croft can carry them both, Lapado is a lazy b*****d and not got the stomach for a relegation battle and Mckay as its just not working for either of us. Save them wages and bring 3 on the saved wages in for there wages and have the kids as back up and see where we are at the end of February. Theres going to be around 10 teams for the 4 relegation spots and as long as we are in touch going into the new year I think thats the best we can expect......Unfortunately.

Going to be a huge can of worms this, plenty of sleepless nights for a lot of people me thinks

Clarke

Burgess

Going to need pace on the counter, Erwin has been our best forward thus far, but looks like he needs a break.

Try and get a good hour out of Winchester before he tires, hopefully picking up pockets of space as they inevitably push forward and hope for the best.

I would love for out and out wingers but don't think Tuesday is the day for it, I feel a heavy defeat with our upcoming fixtures could see us firmly rooted to table proppers.

I actually found myself checking my works email on my phone in the first half......that's how bad it has become.

Fortunately couldn't attend today. Find myself more interested in checking out my bets at home games nowadays due to the product on show

It was a nailed on booking and stupid for someone already on a yellow. If Robinson wants to send a message out to his squad that he expects better discipline than that, I'm all for it.

This

Typical Latics get a slight feel good factor going then back to earth with a bump.

Going to see it as a massive learning curve for Robinson not to take Fane off....he was a walking red card and was lucky to last the 10 minutes from his earlier foul, Fane is going to have to learn as I can see teams will target him and it could become a regular occurrence.

3 up top with Flynn in midfield will not work in my eyes.....he seems the type of player you have to carry far too often for our style of side.

Looked lacking up front today.....no cohesion between the three, feel it is to early in the reign to be tinkering with 3 up top we need to remain solid and work from there on.

Hate slagging refs but for the 2nd week on the run that 2nd half performance was horrendous today and so much for getting home decisions.

Typical Latics cant string home performances together but we live in hope for next Saturday.

Flynn as 7th choice if they are all struck down

Fair does regarding the peno looks like I have had a bigger mare than the ref on that one, massive incident regarding the game though,they were starting to play some nice stuff none of their typical hoofball and were pinning us in. Regarding the ref, he had an absoloute shocker all afternoon, never seen so many decisions so obviously wrong in my life and already had the whistle in his mouth for their penalty as if waiting for any contact whatsoever. I'd have taken a point before hand and keeps the unbeaten league run going, now our achilles heel 2 winnable home games.

First time poster so go easy on me. Thought there centre half won the ball clear as day in the first half but very impressed by the workrate throughout today especially as in my view we carried Fane and Klok for as long as they were on the pitch today. Fane is a good player who I think had an off day but Klok will never make a League 1 player in a month of Sundays....so far off the pace today It was unreal. Good graft off the front 2 to feed off scraps and you may aswell give P. Clarke player of the season already.....what were Bury thinking not getting him signed up.....positional sense is brilliant. Good effort all round and those snagging the following.....I had to pay £25 on the day as it was a last minute decision how are families in a poor town supposed to fork out for 3 away trips in a week in the middle of the holidays????
