I'm struggling to see a first 4 or 5 at present. We look genuinely shite. It's the worst we've looked, the worst atmosphere, the least expectation around a pre season for years on end. Even in League One I had a small amount of faith we might challenge, I just can't see it with this squad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be anyone there to throw out at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The thought of a 46 game season is almost distressing at this point. Remember the good old days when we'd lose all hope a few league games in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Latics win on Saturday I'll be buzzing believe me, regardless if that meant losing £50. As it happens, we're absolutely shite and therefore I see no reason why I can't try and make my weekend a little better by doubling my money on an inevitable defeat. And as for getting down to FGR, bollocks to that. I did it on the opening day last season and it was one of the most tinpot experiences (behind watching that friendly last night) I've ever had. Utter tripe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 All set to arrive in Oldham for my six year old boy’s first match against Colchester. It’s fair to say I’m hyping up the prospect of chips and a fizzy drink in the Rifle Range after as the highlight of the day. Very strange to be planning a day at the football and being apprehensive about the actual football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For it to be win-win, which is the way I feel about it, I think you'd have to consider a draw being a good result, which in my view it is. Either that or back Forest Green and the draw (or Forest Green +1, which is the same thing). The best odds I could find for that are 4/11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Having watched a few minutes of ‘highlights’ posted by our junior vlogger, It was more of the same approach that we have seen during preseason. No urgency, no tempo, no attacking plan and defensively poor. Either the players are saving themselves for when the real stuff starts or we are well and truly fooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did read it that the 70 yo asked to be escorted out first. I'm really surprised this has not featured more this morning. Have we become that anaesthetised.
