brookfield_blue Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Lots of cones out on Rochdale Road near the petrol station. Fully expect Oldham Council to have roadworks planned here for the weekend! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy-latic Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 There's been no advertising of this game atall (apart from the half season tickets)... They need to push this game itself, had 5.5k Latics fans at this one last year, which was the most by a long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 We are going to batter them, they will come looking for a nil nil draw but won't be able to handle Doyle and Davies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanGrovesFanClub Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just watched TWAL and Kean Bryan basically says that they are all focusing on what they need to do for the rest of the season. The way he said it made it sound to me as though he already knows that he's staying here all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreso about Wellens. He had us playing amazingly well after a few tweaks and lifting the mood. But that often happens in football. We'll know if he's the real deal or not in a few games time now he's put some proper work in with them on the training ground.... I'm desperately hoping he is and that we keep playing the same entertaining style and shoot up the table. In fact, as I've typed this I've become supremely confident that he is. OWTB - cathartic as fuck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWTB - cathartic as fuck.... Teams seem to have worked us out after the initial run of games, Wellens has to find a way to protect the full backs a little better whilst not negating our attacking threat. A few tweaks should suffice, as long as the opposition are unsure of our set up and tactics we should be okay, it would be nice to turn these over tomorrow but my head says a score draw.

Are we judging Wellens on just three games now? Even so compare that to the last few previous managers snapshots of 0-0 0-1 0-1 I'd take it. Coincidentally within your nice little snapshot of handpicked fixtures we had two wins 2-1 and 4-1 so it's certainly not as bad as the picture your trying to paint. Wellens has been in charge for ten games now and he has 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, scoring 22 in the process. I'd take that and I'd hate to think we will lose some entertainment value by effectively stopping the free flowing bold approach that has served us so well.

Not in my personal opinion no.....for me eking out is making the most of scant resources.... .our number of players is hardly scant , our attacking options are hardly scant....our defensive resources more problematic but eking out scant defensive resources would involve some strategy to get the better out of them than conceding more than 2 a game it is only semantics but eking out results for me is more reflective of the 1-0s and the 0-0s of Feb and March this year than the roller coaster of this October and November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The dare I say it Checkatrade game was further evidence that the squad is buying into the Wellens way. Win or lose, can't see a draw, this will be an entertaining game. I am full of hope which is all I ask for. Onwards and upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
