It was'nt too long ago many would have been happy to finish fifth bottom , now we're talking play - offs .  Love it 🤗

I think it's glaringly obvious that we need replacements in two areas. Jackson and Jennings were weak links yesterday and Dinanga isn't the solution.
Sort out those two positions and we are in with a chance of the playoffs.

[Saughall Robin]

I wholeheartedly agree but I would be amazed if we managed to get get two quality replacements in at this window.
Personally I'd settle for keeping all the current squad - especially CCC and Coco (and Marriott!)
If we've got the chance to bring anyone in that would be an utter bonus.

Agree with the fact that, sadly, keeping things as they are might be an achievement given plenty of our players will have been courting attention.

But I do think we can genuinely strengthen in those two areas - I think there are players available.

No idea why we aren't giving Jordan a few games, see how he does. Thought he did well last Tuesday.
He would still cause a lot more problems than Jennings.
Right winger is priority. What is the crack with Kaja? he really needs to sort out his playing career.

Some Oldham supporters are convinced that they have signed Colclough:

Let's hope he doesn't but if he does hopefully they will pay a very large amount although it would be undisclosed

Noting that the perpetrator of this story calls himself Lee Sinnott it looks more than a wee bit dodgy . Why on earth would he go there Surely he would only move upwards.

[Steve from Sale]

That's the biggest load of Tosh I have ever heard in my life.

Why would Colclough go to Oldham? A team struggling near the bottom, with poor management and disillusioned fans. When he is loved at our place. Despite the size of the club, the whole ethos seems to be wrong there. The Oldham fans sound pretty deluded there too, and somewhat desperate that they have to try and de-stabilize our club.

Any money that Dan Mooney has some regrets about going to Southend, hopefully Ryan and others will learn from that experience.

The grass ain't always greener on the other side. Our club is building from strength to strength, why would any player throw that away now?

More money? Family to support? Higher living costs? No real impact on travelling? A good dressing room and having your name chanted doesn't pay the bills. I hope he stays of course but I wouldn't blame him if the maths made the decision.

Oldham have recently signed Joe Nuttall from SC**thorpe United (an unconfirmed transfer fee of £100k was relayed to me yesterday), so they are clearly throwing money at their current predicament.   

[cheshire cat]

Probably an hour and a halfs less driving a day.

For me the money would have to be really good and I'm not sure Oldham have got any other than gate receipts. Owner wants to spend on getting the ground sorted.

For what it's worth I monitor the Oldham board cos I have a mate who is a fan. Lee Sinnott has been posting on there for many years. No idea if he has an inside track or not. Time will tell.

[Ballers]

I don't often disagree with Ballers, but Dinanga has never convinced me, and I think we still need to source a genuinely threatening no.9

Sorry, yeh I’m not overly down on Dinanga and I’m not suggesting he’d be my first choice either. I’m just saying if we’re at the stage of ‘persevering’ with him, Jordan or Connor rather than them clearly being the man then really we should go with the younger player (who has room for improvement). And that’s from someone who generally walks around saying “sign some adults”.

[AltyTunnelSteward]

Very sad news.

A lovely bloke, very friendly and a truly committed Alty fan.

Is Shirley still alive? I remember her restoring a certain glint in his eye

[cheshire cat]

Wrong thread.

Interesting that they talk about James Berry too.

Did we just let him go in the end, or did we put a deal in place? Seems he's getting a lot of attention.
