deyres42 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 1 hour ago, League one forever said: Nope, I didn’t say that. You’re making stuff again. I’m not interested in disagreeing with you, that would imply you could make a coherent argument. But alas, you can’t. Your desperation to judge a team that hasn’t played a competitive game and your need to see us fail is just sad. Ah ok, I must have misunderstood what you were saying, my apologies. Anyway the forum police are on their beat again telling people what they can and can't post and no doubt I'll have been reported again so best to leave it there, have a good day everyone.

Still not sure what we've learnt in the 80 minutes of ramblings that we didn't know beforehand. Remember Micky Mellon isn't the future of Oldham Athletic.

Only Blue Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 There are people on here who seem to be obsessed that the club tell us absolutely everything they do, especially when it comes to their money. Do any other clubs have this complete open book policy? Also why should they tell you everything about their own money? You have always got to walk a fine line about how much you have because if say you are loaded other clubs/agents inflate the price, say you're skint and players won't want to join in case they don't get paid etc. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. You are expressing your views, which I personally think must be a wind-up , but even if they are, or not it is still giving us something to debate which is what the forum is for.

Yes true , it did feel as though we had stepped back in time , but my posts can't be described as exciting either Although I do try to stay positive as the levels of negativity we sometimes stoop to on here still manages to surprise me.

In fact, I'm sure he's been interviewed by Dave after a game before and been asked to go on the pod and he said no. I think Andy steers the podcast in the right direction with his hosting... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be a fairly light-hearted podcast and the questions were framed quite well. They don't want to piss the club off, because they won't be able to go in again.. You're right in that the signs are that this is not going to be a particularly exciting season, if mere "improvement" is the aim. It seems like we're rebuilding after 30 years of decline and doing a secondary rebuild after the cock-up with recruitment over the past couple of years. How long will the rebuild take?? It looks from the outside that everything is in place now for us to be successful... Interesting what Mellon said about wingers. The fact that such players just don't really exist any more is a bit of a shame, really. Abslotute rubbish, Argentina won a World Cup and Spain the Euros with them.

GlossopLatic Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) 1 hour ago, Guy Branston Pickle said: How many club sides play with out and out wingers? Chesterfields wide men were very effective last season. The role of wingers has evolved abit now they are more wide forwards. In the 90s you had Holden and Adams and to a higher level Giggs and Beckham who would be more suppliers of goals through Crosses. Today we are seeing more wide forwards who are goalscorers this is probably the effect of Ronaldo and Messi changing football but even so the likes of Williams and Yamal for Spain and in the PL the likes of Saka Palmer and Salah all regularly scoring north of 20 goals. Now some would say that is a million miles from the level we are at. But the last player to score 20 goals for us in 1 season was Connor Mcaleney he spent the season playing and coming in off the flank to score goals, even Devran Green was probably at his most effective either coming in on the back post or making a run inside the full back. Wingers nowadays are more likely to be getting themselves in the box rather than hugging the touchline and putting the ball in.

Nothing to do with top five questions but I had hoped they would have asked some of the following: * How serious is the injury to Josh Kay? * When do you expect him to be back playing? * When do you expect Norwood to be back playing? * Is it a club policy to provide updates on Twitter instead of using the official website? *Is the club looking to bring in a player to play the lone striker role? *Was there any substance to the Matt Smith rumours? *Are the club picking up any of the wages for players out on loan? *Does the club have any say in prices charged for beer (£5.20 per can) etc? *When will the third kit be released? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 This ‘wingers aren’t effective anymore’ is complete bollocks! If we did have two decent wingers and played them as such then the vast majority of teams in this division would shit themselves! All this 443, 433, 4231, talk gets my back up….attack with width & pace and you won’t be far away! Fast direct counterattacking wing play would probably help us win the league, however, finding the said players may be the difficult part!
