Everyone entitled to their opinion chill and I will defend your right to have it........Keepers need to have confidence in their back four to play their normal game...back four has to have confidence in keeper to play their normal game...I think neither has confidence in the other (21 yrs managing/coaching lol )

I think you are both agreeing though chip. Grud is basically I think agreeing with you that Mathews has been poor but lays some of the blame on the poor defence in front of him and I tend towards that view too. On the other hand I don’t think Mathews is brilliant even with a strong defence but since were going to be in L2 next season, which better keeper could we get for the money we pay him? I don’t rate Wright at all, too small and lightweight so I’d let him go back to Sheffield. I’d really like to try and get Wheats back in January and pair him with Zouma or Edwards but I do fully agree that our players are generally too lightweight all round. We do get knocked off the ball far too easily and at this level you do need some physicality so let’s hope KH does something about it if he does recruit in January.

Wont get Wheater back as we cannot offer fee. Shame as he was a few days off the FV era and would have been huge for us on and off the field.
Realistically we need to find players whos contracts expire in summer, who want a game to get in shop window. Who are ready to go and at this level.
Cant agree with school of thought of playing the Bolton Babes again, whats the point of getting hammered 5 and 6 nil again. Would they really be better prepared and would fans keep going? Would they give up completely.
Think the core needs to be as solid as possible. GK, CB, CB, DM, ST and the rest can be used as "wildcard" picks. Where they can express themselves and mistakes not as costly.

Oldham didn’t pay anything for Wheats OM, so who says they’d demand a fee if he wanted to leave? I agree we can’t field a full youth squad again but I would like to see the majority of the team made up of young players who will probably make up the bulk of our team next season. Obviously the key positions, keeper, CH, midfield general and main striker need to be experienced but it’s hard to see where we’d get really good players from in January rather than waiting until August to recruit properly. I haven’t been overly impressed with any of our loans and since neither Bridcutt or Verlinden would sign permanently for us anyway I’d rather we tried to make permanent signings for the future. I accept it’s a tough one with the embargo’s but there’s nothing to prevent us looking in places like Scotland and the top amateur leagues for talent. Other clubs do it and even we have in the past. The standard next year will be pretty poor so surely with the resources we do have and the size of our club at that level it must count for something when attracting players?

Could be right there Whites, I had presumed he was pretty integral to their squad, so although value wise hes not worth much thought they would not entertain offers to cancel hos contract or loan out. Dipping my toe in the twitter universe though seems Oldham fans(not sure how much they represent) havent taken to the big man. Some see his as slow and passed it. Some quite rightly feel like they are his rebound club. They are the Heather Mills to our Linda McCartney. Heart or head not in it. And some would be happy to free up the wages. Some even saying the guy they got rid of to accommodate Wheater was much better. I wonder if they would be interested in us offering them Zouma for the season. Get some L2 experience, fill the gap and had good potential. Could suit all.
