Prime example tonight. Good result but some people now think Mellon the "messiah" and "best game in years" and "now definitely going up". Other week when we drew, people say half the team need sacking. It beggers belief. Just enjoy the result, get some perspective and move onto the next match Still need those 3 or 4 for that big play off push, one like Kanu of Barnet for example.

Norewgian Gunnar Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Fantastic away win and great to see Fondop playing two full matchhes and no card in either game. Always rated him as an impact sub but proving me wrong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shout out to Green, who gets a lot of stick but I thought he worked his bollocks off tonight. Gardner looks reborn. Norwood and Fondop absolutely immense. Mickey Mellon got everything spot on and you can see the team are really buying in to it! Great night all round!! Also this a far better Hallam Hope than we've seen under Unsworth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Hogan, Sheron, Fondop and Norman were Shez signings from the 15. Anyway not that it matters we won 4-1 away and I for 1 am buzzing, night all! And Gardner.

Kanu scared the hell out of us before that and didn't get a kick afterwards. We have a manager who knows what he's doing, shock. Finally I know it won't be popular with many but Green was terrific tonight in 2 different roles. This for me as well, great substitution. Freeman was having a mare although the formation didn't help him. Backed up the win on Saturday, Barnet's defence seeing Mikey Fondop and Norwood in their nightmares tonight. Super Oldham. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKing521 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Happy to be proven wrong this evening. We were on the ropes until half time, and when they equalised, it looked like it would play out in a way we have seen time and time again. But it didn’t. We may actually be on to something with Mellon here. Yes, I am pleased, I actually do want us to win. Forgive me for not being enthusiastic previously for scraping draws in Division 5… Things though are starting to look VERY promising, and i’m on board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only him and McFluffy who understand the importance of having a fourth striker on the bench, rather than wasting the spot on a goalkeeper. The whole of the rest of the football world is “talking shit”, including MM apparently. Still, he got away with it tonight… 1 hour ago, Littlemoor Lad said: SWEET that Fluff should quit whilst he's behind Let me know when a sub keeper gets used by us you pair of...

Ritchierich Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Absolutely fantastic performance by the team and manager tonight. Special mention to big Mike obviously plus Norwood…the pair of them will terrorise defenders in this league. Raglan and McGahey were superb and Kitch showed Freeman how to defend against width. The one downside was poor old Freeman at RB who looked absolutely lost and he and Green just couldn’t cope with Barnet width and movement (although Green worked his bollocks off so I was a bit unfair with my earlier comment when Barnet got the penalty) Melon showed he knows what he is doing by making perfect substitutions and shutting down the Barnet threat The Ref started well but the wheels came off after he decided to rewrite the rules and changed his mind about the (blatant) red card. And finally, a nice little cameo from Hope, he’s a great player to have in the squad. Excellent support all things considered and once again away to Barnet has been an absolute classic! The Hive will make a brilliant away day in the playoffs and the away end with 2000 would be rocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 9 hours ago, Tractors Passing Through said: Nice to see one of our former players doing well. Wasn't part of the managers plans towards the end and good to see the player can do a job for someone else. Still seems strange seeing Oldham in non-league. Well done on tonight, a big win and get yourselves back into the football league soon as you can. Do I have permission to start a one-off topic relating your club ? I’ve got fond memories of Portman Road though you won’t thank me for explaining why - that great day in 1991 when we clinched promotion to the First Division. It was a lovely sunny day I seem to remember, in more ways than one! Good luck this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hive will make a brilliant away day in the playoffs and the away end with 2000 would be rocking Freeman had his hands full with Kanu, who would cause problems to even the best EFL defenders. In that context I'll cut him some slack. Edited November 23, 2023 by BP1960 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
