Our last game as a Football League club........? Let's win it.

 

[Cultist of Sooty]

Did I read somewhere that the ifollow code for S/T holders has changed?

I got sent an ifollow code for tomorrow night's game just now, as per the usual process up till now. So it looks like Saturday's game will be the first one using the new process.

Biggest game in the clubs recent history.

Lose this one ... I'm not even gonna say what it will mean ?

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Oldham score an average of just under 1.5 goals per game, whilst conceding a shade over 2 goals per game.

We also concede 2 goals per game, but manage a paltry 0.5 goals per game.

So by that nonsensical logic, I’m going 2-1 to Oldham

Based on your Maths , 3-1 seems the more likely outcome

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

I dared to dream and went for a draw.

Me too.

I didn’t want to be too pessimistic

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

I didn’t want to be too pessimistic

We need more fans like you ?

I'm predicting a 3-0 defeat

I would keep the same team, but just change Hobson for Lennon. Not sure I'm a fan of the Dieng and Lennon combo

Exactly what I would do I think.

So by that nonsensical logic, I’m going 2-1 to Oldham

with those stats, I'll go for 2-2 with 3 own goals

Think I’d rather Lennon and Hobson with Dieng in front, I’m not convinced with Dieng at the back but think I’m on my own with that!

OLDHAM Athletic boss Harry Kewell will not be at tomorrow's game against Southend United after testing positive for coronavirus.

You’re not alone. Dieng isn’t a CB. Neither is he a CM for that matter.

Based on all his attributes, he’d be better suited to playing park football in a Parisian suburb. Or the Scottish Premier League.

Harsh! I think he could be a decent league 2 CM but might never see it if he’s slowly destroyed playing out of position. Still think he’ll start alongside Lennon, won’t drop Kyle or Olayinka, nor should he.

Same team, depending on whether White and Macca are fit.

If they are, swap White for Dieng and Macca for Elvis, put JD RB.

Mark Milligan hated playing alongside him in midfield, because he didn’t fancy a tackle, couldn’t head the ball & was continuously caught out of position.

In a two-man central midfield role, I believe he is more of a hindrance than a help.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

I'm going for a crushing 1-0 win

 

[bluesfansince1952]

3-1 to us........ANG Emile and TE to score!

Prediction: 2-0 Oldham followed by a small repayment to HMRC on Wednesday, meaning we survive and have a 3-0 defeat to Port Vale on Saturday to look forward to.
