futchers briefs Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Fair enough. As for precise, figures were aimed to make a point. But my point was I would prefer 3 players with 15 goals than 2 with 23. And so on. re: my other post. JJ = Jarrett. Forgot where we got him from. JJ always triggers memories of old tolberone boots himself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc_ok Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 once again...fine find! Just one question though....who???? Kevin Phillips' wife seems to be the alleged other party. Seen her on Soccer Am - she's quite a looker. He was definitely punching above his weight there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Kevin Phillips' wife seems to be the alleged other party. Seen her on Soccer Am - she's quite a looker. He was definitely punching above his weight there. A spot of Googling comes up with these extracts: Kevin Phillips' suspension will give Ormerod a chance to shine ... preferred to the benched Kevin Phillips, to drill the ball home. ... and has performed consistently better than Kevin Phillips Brett Ormerod who must wonder what he has to do to dislodge the current under performing Kevin Phillips. ... but this is what is known as circumstantial evidence.

footy68 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 O id love to see footage of when JJ cleared the Chaddy end witha a potential goal scoring free kick Or the numerous occasions he put a shot out for a throw in, Chesterfield in the dark days of the Mooreon spring to mind.

fanakapan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I hear 'we need a 20 goal a season' striker, or even 2 to get us promoted a bit on this board. As an Oldham fan in his thirties I have only experienced one promotion, 90/91, and we had nobody with 20+ goals. But we scored lots and they were distributed around the team. Given a choice of Hughes 26 goals, Davies 20 goals, and less than 25 from Talyor, Whitiker, Liddlell, Allot combined OR Hughes 18, Davies 14, Taylor 14, Whittiker 13, Liddlel 12, Allott 10 and a few defenders with 5 or so. I'd take the latter. Much harder to stop a team scoring when they can come from anywhere. Also any dip in form from an individual player scoring doesn't have quite the impact on the team. Omerod from my knowledge is a player that brings others into the game, and Jones does the same esp for Taylor and can also have a pop. Great signings 1973/74 3RD Division Champions were similar..goals coming from everywhere...Garwood top scorer with only 16 if I remember rightly.

Matt Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 1973/74 3RD Division Champions were similar..goals coming from everywhere...Garwood top scorer with only 16 if I remember rightly. I wonder how well the current division 3 team would do against these two sides of the seventies? Oldham Athletic 2008/09 Current Div 3 Team Crossley Eardley Lomax Gregan Hazell Taylor Liddell Allott Whitaker Hughes Alessandra. (starting team vs Cheltenham - do please propose your best starting eleven) Oldham Athletic 72/73 (Finished 4th in Div 3) GK Dowd RB Wood CB Mulvaney CB Edwards LB Whittle RM Robins CM McVitie CM McNeill LM Blair FW Garwood FW Shaw Oldham Athletic 1973/74 (Div 3 Champions) GK Ogden RB Wood CB Mulvaney CB Edwards LB Whittle RM Robins CM Blair CM McNeill LM Groves FW Garwood FW Lochhead I appreciate that the teams above may have varied, I can only go of the info I've got in front of me - I was born in 1971!

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I wonder how well the current division 3 team would do against these two sides of the seventies? The current team would win hands down in terms of coloured boots. The 1970s' teams would wind in terms of hairstyles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the 1972/73 team is the best of those Rummy as quite clearly we wouldn't have conceeded a goal. Cheers, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
