Agree Stainrod had all the tricks but his goal record was one every three and a bit games for us and Wylde nearly 1 every other. Still would have either in today's team!

I'm sure he's got a few quid and money isn't particularly an issue!

Just found some old programs and these 2 brought back some great memories from years gone by. Question for those who remember, who would you pick as the better player? Rodger Wylde for me... Absolute legend with a cracking goals per game record.

Huge test this week for us. 4 points from Bradford and MK where we have a dreadful record and people will really start to look at us as genuine top 6 challengers. Can't make Tuesday but will be at MK Saturday.

Brilliant post about the old derby rivalry from years gone by. Many on here won't remember the early 80s but fef the Boxing day game in 81, I was about 13 and Latics were really challenging at the time and on a good run. Blackburn pissed on us and we then went on a dire run I think and finished nowhere! Not sure how many were there but it was pretty packed... and freezing and it ruined my Christmas!! Won't be half as many there tomorrow unfortunately. ?

Good news for the exiles....and for the town ?

Talk Sport just reported Scholes appointment a "strong possibility" and an appointment expected possibly by Weds next week

Masses to thank Shez for over the years. If we had been relegated to L2 who knows where the club would be today and if we would even have a club! However after supporting for over 40 years, the past 20 or so have been pretty tedious so change was necessary just to break the monotony of it all. Fresh eyes and all that. Who knows where it will all lead but hey it's more interesting now than for a good while and Shez had reached his potential with us I think. With his recent record with us guaranteed hell pop up somewhere in January with a team in the bottom few of L1 or L2

Ahh the days we mixed it up with big boys....never to be repeated I fear....ktf

Well we are 2 wins out of 2 in it so I'd have no problem! Basically wear tangerine on a Tuesday night and we're invincible!!

Play that midfield and Pererborough will score a bloody hatful!!

No chance. Goalkeepers thrive on confidence...Ruddys is completely shot to pieces now. He will get worse before better mark my words. Need to at least try Placebo...nothing to lose

Lots of very passionate stuff on here at the moment, some good some a load of bollocks. Went to the game yesterday with 6 Rotherham fans and they had an interesting take on what's wrong with our team which is probably as honest as it gets... In summary they thought "Goalkeepers a decent shot stopper but defence has no confidence at all that he will come and claim anything in the air. Unless we change this we're on a hiding every week" "Left back can't defend for toffee" "Midfield looked decent going forward but as soon as Gardner went off we lost our shape completely" "We have no bite or agression in midfield" "number 25 was the worst midfielder they have ever seen".... I did ask them if they'd ever seen Banks... "it looked like Oldham had no plan or tactics to counter Rotherhams play. We play the same way every week" This was the most telling comment for me. We pretty much know about the keeper etc but I completely agree that it appeared we had no idea how to stop Rotherham when they attacked. This is down to Sheridan and Wright, end of story. They decide on how and who plays. Not sure who said we should have been in front at half time. Bollocks. We did OK and missed a sitter but Rotherham were far more potent the whole game and should have won by more. Lastly they asked if they could play us every week and we should sack Sheridan tomorrow. Let's not let our hearts rule our heads. It's time to change things if we're to have any chance of staying up.

Coming up from the smoke for this one. Should be a decent game and following. around 1000?

Forte Baby 628 was the closest I think. Not a great following 602 in their position. Cheers everyone.

Unbeaten, top of the league, should bring a decent following.... How many do you reckon??

As good a signing as we could have hoped for at the moment...

Something is not right at the club. Wouldn't surprise me if Shez is gone before next weekend. Players not arsed... Manager not arsed it seems unfortunately

Cheers Derbyshirelatic...will get on the day from Walsall ?

I'd start Duffus over Davies, quicker, fitter and hungrier.....

Usually go to Walsall with my young lad and they used to do a family ticket bought on the day for an adult and junior for about £22. Does anyone know if they still do this as can't find any info on their website. Also how many do you recon we will take? Took a great following first away game a couple of years ago...

Just realised I didn't do too bad!!

Clive Allen in the 1988 FA cup tie on the old plastic. Scored a cracker of a goal and his touch and overall control of the ball were fantastic...to be fair Ozzy and Waddle were not far behind him that day....think we lost 4-2

We only took 1500 to Bury!! ...anyhow let's all get to Bastard Rovers and have a party next season!
