Pre-Match Thread Oldham Athletic v Southend United, Saturday 6th March, 15:00, FL2

I would love Aquah to get a couple of goals today. With a bit of luck, it might shut these boring ridiculous cruel comments up.

Oldham don’t have the highest.That honour belongs to the mighty Albion, Boing Boing.

Huh? The Falmer Stadium in Brighton can't be that high........

 

[MisterStubbs]

Acquah stops us from getting any result at all

You say things like this, like "Acquah isn't good enough" etc an awful lot but to my memory you've never actually given a reason as to why you don't think he is. Could you explain to me and everyone else why Emile isn't "good enough" in your opinion.

Huge game today boys and girls.
Lots of bickering to be had about team selection in 15 mins time but let’s not forget the outcry at that side that MM put out against FGR!
Let’s hope come 5pm we’re rejoicing once more about how much we love this game and this club ❤

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Nice sunny day and decent looking pitch in Oldham.Fingers crossed we get a good performance and 3 points UTB

Likewise, new shirt hung up ready to be spray painted on. My word they come up small and lockdown has really seen my biscuit intake increase!

Come on blues, shoot on sight today please!

My pre-covid clothes still fit. Well, hat, scarf, gloves!

Holmes rightly dropped after his poor showing during midweek. Hobson at full back again though is a concern.

Elvis only fit enough for the bench is a shame. Looking forward to that midfield though!

Harsh on Holmes considering the ball was mainly played up in the air! Not lot Holmes could of done to be fair.

I’d like anyone in the team to get a couple of goals today?

 

[RobM]

Hobson at right back again?

 

[sufc4life21]

Hobson at right back again?

Yep.

You’re doubly correct: both height-wise and with the recognition that assorted low-life have been allowed to share the last part of the grandmasters’ title eg Witton,Brighton,Burton,Stirling.

Because he cant shoot,cant dribble,cant run,cant pass and falls over alot! Just a big donkey up front with absolutely no talent what so ever! Yes he can hold up a ball but hes a striker and scoring goals are what strikers are judged on.Niall Quinn and and shaun goater were donkeys too but they scored a hat full of goals also!!

I understand you’re frustration but think that’s a little harsh. He’s probably not good enough to be a starter at this level, but we have to remember he’s spent most of his time playing in a struggling side and his confidence is likely low. He’s played reasonably well in patches during the last couple of games so there is hope. Personally I think he would do himself a lot of favours if he could find a nasty side and rough up the opposition a bit.

Just backed him to score at 14/5 - talk later.

Why dont mm start goodship? He can score goals and has scored more goals then acquah! Why isnt he playing ricky holmes who is quality and can play the forward role but is in desperate need of minutes! He gives him 60 mins against Cheltenham and then knocks him down again by benching him today! Makes no sense! Wht is elvis on the bench when everyone knows hes interval to our Solid back four? I dont get this manager one bit!!

No chance
