S_Y_G Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 What do any of you know about the rovers team standard, you don't go, maybe you see the odd Highlight on TV. It's like me commenting on city, all I know is your doing pretty well and have a loaner striker who scores for fun. If we go up we deserve it, if your in the prem next season you deserve it. The only think for certain is that DC is a fantastic manager, motivationally, tactically, maybe Johnson is as well but it's too early for you to make the call. I think it's great that players that were conference standard have improved so much on a technical level, it's gives hope to anyone in sport that if your coaching is good enough then you can advance quickly and its great for the game that it's not only splashing crazy cash that gets results, ie Leicester. M Taylor is the prime example looked like an ave conf player, in 2 seasons he's become a Marcus Stewart clone, due to Marcus Stewart coaching. On a separate note nice to hear Gerry gows relative on the radio earlier, really touched by the thoughts made ref Gerry by Bristolians That's it... Jager need. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think we all know you have a fantastic way of making the opposition go down to men and getting about 55 penalties a game. Kudos for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to be so completely out of their depth up here that it will be great entertainment. From miamigas; http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/8399/oldham-rovers-matchday-thread?page=12 Just incredible what DC and his players are achieving lately, especially after 2 consecutive promotions. I honestly don't ever remember a time before when no matter who's in the team, who we're up against and whether we're in front or behind, I always feel relaxed and confident that we'll get a result. And even if we do lose a game every now and then, you just know that they'll bounce back. What a time to be a Gashead! I mean....this. We go 2 goals behind away from home, get a draw and it almost seems like a loss. 2 seasons ago it took the play-offs. Last season, automatic but could do better. Only leaves one way to go up this season....Champs. Whether we will or not is to be decided, BUT trust me my fellow Gas 'Eads, we're going up. FTG! Then for real delusion http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/8344/promotion-bus?page=3 Kippogas; Champions by 20+ pts Edited October 22, 2016 by 22A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's not even Halloween yet, I am about as concerned with the chances of them getting promotion as I am with us doing it. At least we are more than 8 points off of a relegation place though....... As we all know only Swindon get promotion before the end of November 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Fair play to them I say. Fantastic achievement to be where they are after being so low so recently. Credit where its due. We all had a great laugh at their expense a few years ago but they have responded pretty well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the bites lads. 11 points clear and safe a few games before the end of the season, remind me how you lot finished that season? We spent regardless because there were always going to be players leaving and we had freed up a huge chunk from the wage bill by getting rid of the wasters here before that. Also, players who were a part of our title winning season were here the season before that- Frankie, Cunningham, Flint, Williams, Pack, JET, Osborne, Elliot (free transfer having been here on loan the season before) Wagstaff, Reid, Pack, Bryan and Burns. Players we spent money on for that season: Agard (circa 700k), Smith- part exchange and circa 200k, Freeman 300-450k, Ayling was compensation only. Other signings: Little (free), Elliott (free), Wilbraham (free). So that's a maximum spend of 1.3m plus minimal compensation fee for Ayling. So we didn't spent "millions" before we sold Baldock, just the 1. We had also, prior to the sale of Baldock, got rid of 5 or 6 players on big wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your time using facts and logic on the f**kwit , it may have been 11 points but more importantly it was 8 teams. 8 teams that would have also got those extra points as that's how the League works.
