Official Match Thread Oldham Athletic v Southend United

[Yer Blues]

All that's left to play for is their next contract, which can't be taken up cos of the embargo, can't be paid cos no money and probably won't be honoured by Ron anyway!
How on earth do they get motivated for the last two games! Being in the shop window for other clubs is all that's left.

If they can't be motivated to hit 7th place with 2 games to go that's on them.

Good riddance

I don’t have much faith in him and his ability to be honest. We can argue whether we had to budget to sign the players that were first choice on ‘the list’, but what has Still got us so far? Powell, Husin, Gus, Wreh, Wood, Cardwell, Lomas. None of them would walk in to a top 5 side in this league.

I don’t get why we’re constantly told he’s doing a great job.

I’m sure he found the best available for the budget. We weren’t browsing in the same shop as Wrexham, Notts C, Chesterfield and numerous others.

I'd get rid of Mooney in the summer.

Then I realised we probably wont have a club in the summer, so I felt all fuzzy and warm again.

 

[Pak Power]

How did we lose that? well done to the travelling 300+ could hear you all game

 

[lreed567]

Haha the even more sad thing is we will probably beat Scunthorpe sat (not sure how) a 1-0 pen win and can see chesterfield beating Bromley then will give us another glimmer of hope

There was zero urgency tonight when they did actually have something to play for.

 

[The Big Dady]

Full Time

Oldham Athletic 2 Southend United 0

Still 9th place

 

[Born In A Blue Shirt]

That was shambolic. Lacked bravery and creatively in attack. Some of these players simply aren’t up to scratch I’m afraid

It's not quite over yet. Win our last two games and Bromley lose their last two, or just draw one of them, and we're in the play offs, so long as Eastleigh lose one of their matches.

 

[rayleigh dan]

awful second half.
Sorry to say Mooney brought nothing to the game and since he came on we seem to Have lost our shape completly.

that’s our play offs now gone and guess we are gonna have to settle for this league again next season

Wrong sub, been awful since his return from injury. At least bring a striker on ffs, not saying Powell or Wreh would have scored but I'm convinced either would have been a better option than Mooney. I've defended Maher for the most part but that was a **** poor decision.

 

[SHRIMPERR]

Can’t believe people are blaming Mooney for us losing tonight

 

[in the know]

Bring back Sol

Lol... you just want kev to wear the velour velvetty PJ bottoms sol turned up in to take training !!!

You're right...
Not just tonight!

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Mooney at least got the ball to have a shot. Powell anyone?

 

[Pak Power]

Just been on their forum, a couple of them saying they would have Bridge in their team in a flash

 

[in the know]

True.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Travelling Shrimpers numbers (304 ish ?)

 

[Shrimper44]

Just don’t believe this- we must search high and wide to find players who can’t shoot and can’t score. It almost as if it contractual- you mustn’t shoot, you mustn’t score, who mustn’t enter the penalty area…

And don't forget....want an f****** sicknote

PMT now please
