Oldham scorefred sponsored by know when to fold them.

[Billy the fish]

After Sunday can only see us getting thumped tonight if the game goes ahead 3-0

I feel blessed that I never had to stand in the trenches with someone as negative and defeatist as you.

Ahem. Doomed. Doomed I tell ye

Wondered how long it would take before you popped up bell boy must have been busy hey on that message board made for two ? How is Luke ?

[arsene wengers coat]

Change in formation?

343?

[broomo]

Delighted to see Stone come in, Marek hasn't been poor but his distribution both kicking and throw outs is atrocious.

I expect our strikers will get a lot of balls they can at least compete for and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us going from back to front a lot quicker with Stones kicking being a big factor.

Looks like a 4-3-3 so could be interesting. I would have liked to see O’Keefe continue at right back as I don’t trust Gordon there and thought O’Keefe had a reasonable game on Sunday.

No Perch or Clarke which is a shame. I hope the centre three have the legs to compete for 90 minutes on what should be a very heavy pitch as the bench looks a bit threadbare again where the midfield is concerned.

You don't trust Gordon at RB, what about Heart The Size of a Pea at LB???

I do trust him more than Gordon but he would not be my first choice. Gordon is a total liability as a defender as far as I’m concerned. I suspect Benning has a slight knock or why would he drop to the bench?.

Clough could be playing a different formation for all I know but it looks four at the back to me.

Gordon isn't half as bad as people make out. Been one of our better players all season.

I think its 433

[Spiritater]

Seems Cloughy's decided that Non Stech needs to up his game in giving Aiden a go. To many moments of indecision and him thinking, 'hey I'll get the shirt next game anyway'. Maybe now he'll buck his ideas up.

I respect your opinion but don’t share it. He’s either got to be played as a winger or not at all as far as I’m concerned and right back is the first area I would strengthen followed closely by a goal scorer.

Surprised to see Maynard on the bench. I thought Stagsnet had had a whip round to pay his contract up.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

We need to watch centre half Carl Piergianni at set pieces (3 goals) and Conor McAleny up front (9 goals). Congo International, Dylan Bahamboula is a skillful player and a very tricky customer (1 goal and 7 assists). He can run past a couple of players in the blink of an eye. Danny Rowe is on the bench and we know he can strike a ball.

[gazza1988]

Gordon hasn't played badly on the whole. By the same token I'm not saying he's been spectacular either at right back. Whilst playing right back the majority of his plus points have been when he's got forward and in a right wing position. Majority of the bad points have been when he's in a defensive position. If O'Keeffe had a knock then I'd want him there with Perch out and Riley out for the foreseeable. It doesn't het Gordon that we aren't playing with out and out wingers. They're inside forwards.

[phil22]

Why on earth does I follow buffer every 20 seconds for a second or 2...very annoying. The fa player was perfect on Sunday with no buffering at all. Also the adverts don't buffer at all. Just every time else!!

I think both full backs need replacing in the summer, but Gordon or Perch for me at the minute. O'keefe will come good though.

Looks like 4-4-2

[Wh_Stag]

I dont think I ever seen us win here

Hopefully a good quick start! Pitch also looks in good nick, not what I expected

Early chance. Gordon has the ball on the right and crosses. It's flicked on and Bowery just misses out at the back post.

Got to feel for Aidan Stone there. First mistake he’s ever made for us.

[wayno cordiniho]

Wow

Horrible keeping from Stone.
