Stevie_J Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Unfortunately staying up is a an achievement to many Oldham fans now, a chairman with a total lack of ambition has somehow over the time of his tenure managed to brainwash the remaining fans to be happy with 20th in League 1 and a last 8 appearance in the JPT that no other club gives a :censored: about. In the context of the season, as it has panned out, it is an achievement (or will be, if we do it). But I'm certainly not brainwashed.

yarddog73 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The ones who sing 'We are staying up' and the like are brainwashed, it makes me cringe to hear it sang, especially against teams like Burton and Rochdale, what an achievement.

We looked dead and buried when Sheridan came in. If we stay up, after being in that position, that should be celebrated. The bigger questions can be raised once that's out of the way.

The bigger questions can be raised once that's out of the way. There were far too many games (22 to be precise) left for folk to claim we were dead and buried. It looked bleak, but no team is dead and buried half a season in. That was mainly hysteria. Edited April 5, 2016 by boundaryblue80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being 7pts adrift and having Dunn as manager, we were dead and buried if not for a change in managerial personnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 But, given the position we were in some months ago, surely staying up would be worth celebrating? Firm handshakes all round, nothing more..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 5 points off with a game in hand...that's a real concern but not dead and buried.It's all speculation but I believe we would be way adrift by now if we'd kept Dunn with tiny miserable crowds and a raft of :censored: expensive signings.

disjointed Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Having watched Swindon tonight they could get dragged into it, a dreadful team. I dont think they were dreadful, played some decent football, although a lot of niggly fouls and challenges were part of their game too.

However, with hindsight, we probably were going under dunn. ^^^^^^^^ This!!! Nobody is saying we wouldn't have carried on struggling under Dunn. But with 22 games left....anything could....and has happened. We fight on! Great win last night. Proper full team performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics and England Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Table when Sheridan took over http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-one/2015-2016/table/2016-01-09 That doesn't half show Doncaster's collapse. Only picked up 4 points in that time. Barnsley (and too a lesser extent Bradford's) climb up the table stands out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
