Fair assessment only thing I would say is that I do not rate Nepo, he gets ball and stops and goes backwards he never beats a man, he's the Curacao version of David batty

Obviously been watching a different game to me. They are the best side we will play all season unless we get to 3rd round of FA cup. Defended far better than against MK Dons against far superior opposition. What do you expect?? They're a top 6 championship team, we are light years behind yet created a few half chances and kept our shape well, play that way against Macclesfield, Morecambe and Yeovil and we pick up points. Get Branger on left wing and Lang on right play Baxter from start and give him 60 minutes and let's see how we do.

Oldham 4 - 3 MK Dons (HT 2-1) Gardner 4009

Great having faith, look at the crap that’s happened with Gerrard and Byrne both under contract and earning decent money, granted it looks as though Gerrard has been sacked but Byrne is a huge issue, his salary alone would cover 2-3 very able players at this level. It was obvious why we offered him a deal due to his academy pedigree at City and undoubted ability, but he’s young, immature and toxic if anything about the malicious challenge on Fane is true hence why we are stuck with him as no other club will touch him with a barge pole

Why isn’t it positive ??? Having the spine of your team leave in January like last season, remember what happened 7 months ago better to have season long loans, be better still to have contracted players who may give a shit and want to achieve something

Heard 6k per week

Let’s give the bloke a chance, can he do any worse than some recent appointments? the fiasco behind the scenes needs sorting out, cannot continue to delay wages and not pay suppliers, need to start doing things properly for a change, need lemsagem to pull his finger out and put new personnel and financial structure in place to enable the manager to move the team forward

Be amazed if Doyle signed especially for us in league 2, only glimmer of hope would be if Wellens stayed as they appear to be close

Opposite for me Clarke lead by example which last season was great this year not so, for me Gerrard better on field organiser though I believe he had as much confidence in placide as I do in a peace accord between Israel and the Arabs! For years we’ve struggled so other than the younger ones who actually give a shit bin the lot and start again

Stood at back of east stand, clocks ticking down we get a throw level with their area, moimbe throws it to Hamer who was running over to take the throw??? Fucking non senseical last minute in injury time same happens this time Hamer does get ball, why the fuck isn’t placide in the box, surely the manager knew Rochdale had won?? small things that probably wouldn’t have changed anything but sums up the poor attitude of some of that team

Well said! Im done with league 1!! lets hope we can regroup and come back stronger whoever the manager is and the starting 11 come August

Problem is the owner is no doubt heavily involved in the recruitment hence Wellens comments cannot see how we can enjoy a successful season who ever is in charge with an owner doing the recruitment Wellens is the reason Doyle, Bryan and Byrne came ALs only 2 players that did ok were placide and moimbe, the rest were awful On the plus side Ollie Banks is a decent league two player as Swindon testify and he played well against Carlisle in jPt scoring a worldie

Think this hits the nail on the head, I’ve just got Home from six fields and feel today’s performance summed up our season in general, we are group of individuals no team ethos at all and no balance im not fussed if Wellens stays or goes but one thing is certain the recruitment of the squad was shocking, no balance in the side and ultimately the games we’ve played with balance, a right midfield player with a right foot who plays there and a left footed left midfield player (Bradford at home) we’ve done well byrne is a no10, Doyle needed someone next to him upfront, Nazon isn’t a wide player, it’s not rocket science put round pegs in fucking round holes

Corner being upset I would consider to be fiction!

Journalist is Ken Lawrence, usual crap about players not being paid on time, normally hear that first on here or twitter ?? mentions Fane and that AL has suspended him without informing Wellens and that PFA involved by Fane looks like a few half truths and some fiction combined

Thought Wellens picked a side with more balance today, wasn’t sure what he was thinking at first but could see as game went on it was a 4-4-2 with a diamond in mlidfield with Gardner at the base and Byrne at tip didnt create a lot but kept a clean sheet benyu looked like he hadn’t played for a while which he hasn’t but offers more forward impetus than Fane gardner worked his arse off and thought Pringle was ok, would have kept him on and took benyu off but Byrne not tracking back probably swayed Wellens into taking him off some folk calling for him to be sacked before Northampton game are retarded, we lost our first five games and were awful I’d have given my right arm to be in this position after that start

Yeah as long as dale lose we stay up

Leta face it 9 turning up was 9 more than turned up Tuesday night!

Agree that Byrne should be played as a 10 and given licence to roam and provide passes to play forwards in. Wellens realistically has 2 games to save his job and quite possibly his managerial career as any rookie manager with a relegation on their CV will struggle to land another job. he either reverts to the formation that brought him success which is 4–4–2 with Byrne given freedom and allowed to wander which makes that formation a 4-3-3 or try and provide some defensive stability and play 3-5-2 with moimbe as LWB and either Hunt or Hamer at RWB. Personally would play Hamer there as he’s a better crosser of a ball than Hunt Im as pissed off as everyone else after last nights result but the positives are we continue to make chances although we ship goals for fun, can honestly see us putting 4 or 5 past someone maybe too little too late though and remains to be seen whether we could concede less than we score

Problem is 2 upfront leaves midfield exposed as Byrne effective playing as a10, play him wide is no good as he drifts in and leaves a huge gap I’d be bold and go 3-5-2 took hunt into central back 3 as he’s shit going forward and play Hamer RWB and Tope LWB as he’s looked a bit more lively than Nepo that gives Central midfield 3 of Fane, Gardner and Byrne who I’d expect to thrive with protection behind him

Doncaster who give him £6k a week ( a lot more than he got from us) and Shrewsbury who gave him £1.5k after he asked us for £1k a week and Corney offered £500! I’d fuck us off too and I’ve followed the team for 39 years

Yeah needs to have extra man in midfield,, at bury and yesterday we were over run in midfield and we cannot keep relying on trying to out score teams. for me if Gerrard played yesterday pitman wouldn’t have scored first goal, as for second goal placide needs to launch it rather than trying fancy stuff on a shit surface and awful conditions think teams are targeting him as they know he will try and pick a pass overall a bad day at the office, agree that we need to start quicker be tempted to play 3-5-2 to allow Byrne some space especially at home and away I’d go 4-5-1, Pompey and bury did that against us and caused problems

Remember this game, we did get battered and still won went into a pub before game and it was like a scene from the America Werewolf when I ordered drinks everyone just went silent and stared at me and my dad, probably the worst experience I’ve had as a latics fan was at that game with all the shit being thrown at us

Just got back and satisfied with a point at a ground that is absolutely shocking for us. we had them for 60 minutes but felt we sat back too much and inviting them on with the quality of the their players was always risky and so it proved, if anyone would have said we’d take 4 points from 6 against Bradford and Blackburn I’d have ripped their arm off. just hope we have no fresh injuries and someone capable of filling in at LB for tuesdays game which is a must win

McEleney can’t play due to registration stuff, think they have to be signed 24 hours before a game
