  1. Our supporters who 'Howl at the Moon' will be out in full force soon 2 Home Wins and 6pts against a bottom end of the table York City and Oxford City a recent addition to the National League Our next 3 games are against the current bottom 3 teams in the Form Table Kidderminster (A) Wealdstone (A) Maidenhead (H), all winnable you would think Steve Thompson has done a good job of stopping the rot and looks to be getting a tune out of the squad and the addition of Neil Redfearn should help keep the momentum going For me, Frank and the Board need to complete the search for a new manager and not be taken in by what will be a noisy section of support to appoint Steve and / or Neil if we win the next three games If after due process Steve Thompson / Neil Redfearn is the standout candidate then so be it
  2. Its really simple this We must recruit someone who has done something our club has not done for over 30 years A Manager that has actually won something, preferably a promotion Nothing else will be good enough Getting drawn into the nostalgia of previous players managing or giving someone their first chance in management is one of the reasons why we continue to fail
  3. Surely the OAFC fanbase can understand that a bloke when in his early 70's, with the drive and determination to row the 3,000 miles across the Atlantic to raise £1,000,000 for charity, just isn't going to fail to get our club back into the EFL Frank writes the cheques whilst the Board manages the business side of the club Like every driven CEO he will be all over the £numbers and business / team performance He strikes me as an owner who will give someone every opportunity and support to succeed but will make changes if needed I truly believe that our Club is in good hands and that we should trust Frank and his family with the future of our Football Club Personally, whilst I appreciate that some fans don't like the Manager and some of our players, I think calling them out at games in the way some do, just undermines the rebuilding of our Club #amwithfrankandoafc
  4. Apologies for the late response There is an interview on TNT / BT Sport with James Norwood stating 'the lads worked really hard today and our tactics were to restrict their goal opportunities and try and get a goal on the break' https://www.tntsports.co.uk/football/vanarama-national-league/2023-2024/it-just-shows-what-spirit-we-ve-got-james-norwood-reacts-after-scoring-last-gasp-oldham-equaliser_vid1971640/video.shtml After scoring 10 goals in their first 3 games we restricted them to just one They had 3 shots on target, we had 3 They had 3 shots off target, we had 4 A very hard fought point in my book
  5. What's happening to us ! We draw 1-1 at the BOOKIES favourite for the League Arguably our two best midfielders are out injured Shamefully, Frank had to put up with fan anger, the wonderful man who saved our club HATE for the Manager pouring out from the stands and all over Social Media An extract from a post from a Chesterfield supporter: "Thought Oldham looked okay and really well organised at the back and basically stopped us playing most of the game. Although we had most of the possession we didn't really create that many clear chances so a draw was a fair result in the end
  6. Forgot how slippery you are Fair play
  7. Just an observation League One, am thinking maybe if you read my post a bit slower it might help pal Here you go: "Up there as one of the daftest or most poisonous posts I have read on here and there has been some beauties"
  8. Fair response Monty I stuck with Unsy all last season and whilst the football was dreadful, I understood the need to play for points in the second half of the season We went to Southend on Saturday and soon as we saw the starting X1 it was pretty obvious we were in for a grueller 3-5-2 without the players to play it is madness and for a former Premier League Youth Coach to play a young centre back as a wing back without any cover was shocking For me, the Club has made some really good signings pre-season which have added substantial experience and quality to the squad, so NO EXCUSES for us not challenging for the title Both Dan Ward and Josh Lundstram made 46 appearances for their clubs last season but have broken down already for us, which is either really bad luck or maybe something in our training methods 'rumour' Am giving Unsy and his Coaching team 10 games (1 already wasted) to deliver attractive attacking football and at the very least the team be in the top8 after those games If he cant deliver that, we must cut our losses
  9. Up there as one of the daftest or most poisonous posts I have read on here and there has been some beauties Can live with a comment from Peter Clarke regarding the training regime (no documented confirmation seen by anyone of course) but a seasoned player wanting a move from his new team after playing just 45mins for them, folk have to be very gullible to believe that Sounds straight out of the 'Realistic Fans Group' does that
  10. First season in the Premier League for me after back to back promotions Not unhappy finishing 2nd behind @lookersstandandy who beat me by just 8Pts Really happy I beat @nzlatic by 8pts despite him walloping me by 12pts in the guessing the attendance element of the competition Think that's what's called 'throwing down the gauntlet'
  11. after back to back promotions it was my first season in the Premier League and I came runner up to @lookersstandandy by 8pts who to be fair didn't have to rely on guessing the attendances to beat me not the result I was looking for but not bad and well happy @nzlatic finished 8pts behind me in 3rd despite walloping me by 12pts in attendance guessing think that's called "throwing down the gauntlet"
  12. No point in playing if you aint out to win it “Do or Dont do, there is no try” (Yoda)
  13. Early doors I know oafcmetty but it looks like me n you for the title this season
