futchers briefs Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 After weeks and weeks of criticism - some very harsh imo, well done on an excellent clean sheet today at a very tough place to go, having seen us win there last year, i'm sure those who have gone today will have some very positive words to say about a good team performance. For the baffoons who begin topics with negative, impatient, claptrap - move on, there's nothing to see here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 2 clean sheets in the last 2 games. We have conceded 10 goals in 9 games, hardly terrible. Still think we need competition at CB though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Last November. We won at Southend and then scraped past Walsall at BP. The last time Latics won 2 games on the bounce. The 4-0 win over Cheltenham in August 2008 was the last time they completed 3 wins on the trot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Sheehan gives us balance and Lomax is a good right back. He isn't a Left back. Most of his negative press is when he plays at left back (Hereford away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Sheehan gives us balance and Lomax is a good right back. He isn't a Left back. Most of his negative press is when he plays at left back (Hereford away) To be fair his 'negative press' has generally been that he's a third division player. Which is fair enough really. I quite like him, but he is no more or less than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 when was the last time we kept back-to-back clean sheets? Can't remember who it was that described Gregan as 'the new Ronaldo' in the chat during the match after his step-over in the first half.....don't think he'd take that as a compliment to be honest....

RobOAFC Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Is lomax the key at right-back to having an okay defence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 No - having 5 players who know their jobs, have settled to playing with each other for a few weeks maybe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Greegan and Rubes both had one "moment" but generally played well. Only my third game of the season but I havew yet to see Brill make a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't worry be happy Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 are you calling me gay? is the word gay allowed on this site??isn't it takin the piss out of puffs or is that just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 are you calling me gay? No, calling myself gay for only having made 3 games. I think you've set yourself up as a target for Walshy when he fancies a bit of forceful man-love now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Colbeck was poor. Whitaker was poor until moved onto the right. The rest of them well played. Parker best game in a Latics shirt by some distance. Brill dealt with everything comfortably and confidently. Gregan better than Rubes.. but Hazell was much improved. Furman was decent but my days he dives in on tackles a hell of a lot. Please keep Sheehan longer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker was a problem, and dived excellently for the penalty. Sheehan was like a man possessed. Not many players would have either tried that flick over the full backs head in the first half or followed through and gone in to win it when it was 20/80 against him when it came down. I'm not sure about Whits yesterday. One chance that he would have creamed if it had fallen to his left, couldn't see the point of him taking corners when it's pretty claear he isn't going to put it over, but it's an option to have him come in from the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say he is the only midfielder we seem to have who can link the midfield with attack and would keep him in the team. He's a good player but far too inconsistent which is why he's at our place. Colbeck I really am not convinced is good enough. Otherwise positives all round yesterday apart from one drunken southerner at the front shouting absolute drivell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of the few OAFC supporters there (and never one to "knock" players in over 40 years), I can say that the "optimism" is too much too soon. The game I saw was between two very average mid table league one sides. You could count the scoring opportunities on one hand for each side. Both sides missed them (except for a "down the middle" penalty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could easily have gone either way. Like all average division 3 sides, we both lacked players with flair and a finisher. Come back at the end of the season and we'll see where we are. I'll be very happy to be proven wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
