    Slade's post Oldham interview .....

    As I said on another thread he does not come across with any sense of urgency or that he could tear a strip off them. He has made the mistakes in team selection in my opinion. Also we lack a real captain in the dressing room. Where the hell is Stokes?

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    No never a 'masive club'. A bigger club than many for sure. I'd say we are a medium to bigger club similar to say Sheff.Wed. and underachieving massively. (that's a more appropriate use of the word massive on this topic!)

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    Historic comparisons Grendel. I'm looking at the modern era which is far more relatable. Using your analogy Britain would still be the most powerful nation on earth. Most will understand where I'm coming from and not just want to pick holes in every comment.

    That's probably right Grendel because many would stay home even though they may have a season ticket!

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    I agree with almost all of that but you are preaching to the converted. All of that though was not the question we were all answering. As for harnessing the potential when in the top flight, I would disagree. Again you measure this by success? I think 30 years in the top flight is a measure of...

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    But I'm not focusing on attendance based on league position as the measuring stick. Bournemouth want to move to accommodate 20k. Crystal Palace would be drawing fewer than us if we swapped places. No its about the growth of towns and cities in our country and the working class support at the...

    Alan Curbishley on the Danny Baker Show

    Not this old line again! Lets be honest as football clubs go the bigger the support base the bigger the club, no matter what league you are in or the hard times befallen you. Leeds are a truly massive club and Villa = both in the second tier. Sheff.Utd and Coventry are big clubs both in the 3rd...

    Relegation thread

    Have not been inspired by any of his team selections so far. Bewildered in fact. I would follow the conventional wisdom here and say that's it, we are down. But looking at the fixtures for us and the teams sitting in the bottom 5 or 6, we have a chance of getting out of this if we turn it around...

    Slade

    This is simple. Regardless of everything Slade has shown no tactical nous, and while he seems a nice guy has failed to motivate the players he has. Looking at his team selections I've been bewildered. He has single handily put us in this position. He could certainly have done so much better even...

    Lets be honest and stop blaming all and sundry. We were the better side today up to the RCC error. Could have been so different. BUT the problem is Slade has his opinion on team selection that I believe most of us would say differs from ours? that's the issue here not so much Fisher, SISU or...

    This selection once again worrying. Where is the goals coming from? My optimism just vanished.

    Match Thread Oldham v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 11th Feb

    I had a look at the table. the bottom 5 with us and who plays who and our game in hand means any points today are virtually worth double! Its a 6 pointer in every way. Just look closely at fixtures and figure it out. In a few games time we could be sitting on 30 with any of those 5 all around...

    Spon St, Blue Bistro? Bar/restaurant?

    Does anyone know about this former place, a medieval building set up as a bar restaurant? Now empty and not in use. was it a good place, a trouble spot or is it in an area that does not attract customers? Any history on it's more recent trading reputation would be great.
