They could be 6ft 2 and soft as shit or they could be 5ft 4 and fight like a bastard think Billy Bremner David Batty or even Nick Henry or Darren Sheridan. Although I take your point some height in our backline is needed as we are giving away too many goals from balls into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I don't know what we expect. There isn't going to be any "wow!" signings while the club is at this level and current circumstances. Every time any player signs, I am genuinely surprised they would want to join Oldham Athletic...have they not done their homework...or has somebody at the club got a silver tongue? I won't pre-judge any player until they have had a chance to show their worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a very old and very fond memory of Bobby Collins playing for us at the end of his career. Great player and a very short fuse. In one game he got very fed up with an opposing player who looked to be almost a foot higher than Bobby. Somewhere around the centre circle and with the ref not far away, Collins leapt like a salmon and chinned the guy, perfect uppercut. It was hilarious. Instant red card nowadays, but I think he might have got away with a lecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't pre-judge any player until they have had a chance to show their worth. I'm not surprised in the slightest that players with virtually no league experience are willing to sign for a league club. My worry is that this squad is massively lacking in experience and we've done little to address that. How many in our squad have over 100 league games under their belt? Leaving Wheater out (because they are leaving Wheater out), I'd guess Jombati, Grant, Hamer maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now... if Kewell could just stop fecking about with his line up. Aye. The old adage of wait for ten games is still true. I’d wager we will be bottom third at that stage- which given our budget and the investment in the squad is probably about right. I think the goals in the side will make sure we don’t go down.
