Adkins was pretty positive sounding about it on the interview, and we haven't rushed about trying to replace him today. So I don't think Chambo is too bad at all.

2nd please - so i can put my feet up and enjoy watching other fans stress over 1 game which decides an entire season! Nerve racking things....and it's at Old Trafford too, so no day out at wembley.

He made some good points tbf.

Not heard anything on Chambo yet, but Lallana will be back in 10 days (i.e for the MK Dons game)

It doesn't appear a cheap option to me at all. We've signed a teams best player, clubs from the premiership wanted him and we went back with a second offer which turned his head.

How can you say it's the cheap option when you have no details of a) - The wage offered, B) the Loan Fee and C) the fee at the end of the season.?

Out of interest what points totals did P'boro and us finish on?

Just watched his goals for Oldham this season - a few pens, but some cracking hits from outside the box. He seems the type of player that makes late runs into the box and starts off attacks by playing the ball deep...and then continuing to run forward. At the mo - I'd stick him in there in place of Chappers.

I reckon he's another Freddy Adu and is actually 35.

They've got no chance of promotion being 15 pts behind at this stage. They are skint, openly considering administration and we offered them a decent financial package which clubs in their situation and size cannot really turn down. He's their best player and we've once again signed one of the best players at L1 level.

Apparently as Scotland's game is on Sunday, Mackail-Smith is still available for Friday nights game.

Where's the fun in a post like that!

Talented young player - the sort of signing that will make us stronger in the middle straight away. Sounds like we splashed a bit of cash to get him too, Oldham fans are suggesting a £400k deal arranged.

Just loans from other clubs outside the english prem i believe.

I think that's the sort of comment made by people who don't base all their focus on just the last game. It really wasn't the end of the world, frustrating yes, but in theory we actually gained a point on the teams around us. If we carry on our form since Adkins has been in the building we will secure 86/87 pts, which should easily be enough for 2nd.

Good news - thanks for passing it on. I doubt you've heard anything on Chambo at all?

TBF we'd probably lose Adam, Fonte, Oxo etc - but I'm sure we'd reinvest and be as strong next time. (not saying that'll happen, as we'll be promoted this year!!)

Just had a quick look through the main points of the game, including the ''goal'' Clearly onside, just a very clever run by N'Guessan. Bloody annoying - also BWP's goal had a shade of offside about it.

We'll all pickup more points that that IMO. All we need to do is continue as we have been and secure 20-21 points from our remaining 10 games. That should do it, or at least put us in 2nd for the last day which is where we need to be.

Stop speaking sense ffs!!!!!!

Totally agree with you, why haven't we gone for someone like Owen? Or even Fletcher at Man utd? they're not getting games at the moment. Our lack of ambition is shocking.

He's been outstanding since he returned from injury.

Dale Stephens is the latest rumour, young talented lad from Oldham.

I think this is a good point. I don't think it's any suprise that his best performances have come when he's playing with Morgan and Hammond in an advanced CM position.

I can only think Chappers is carrying a knock of sorts, he's lost that edge to his game which took him box to box and he seems to look laboured to me. These 11 days off may come as a real blessing.
