I'd take that right now, Duke.

One thing for sure, it will be cold. Very, very cold.

Knowing us lot we will go up there and win but I really cannot see it at the moment I could see us shipping in a shed load of goals especially if Ince is out injured and Manny Smith plays in defence as I fear they will be too strong for us given to relatively inexperienced players in key positions.

4-1 defeat for us.

2-0 to Oldham :(

Pedagogue to consider taping up his trousers but after much deliberation decides against it.

There appears to be much apathy towards this match

Exile forgot it was happening

Duke only started the thread at lunchtime today

Only four posts to date

I am going for a 2-1 win with 5276 in attendance with 267 supporting the lads including 3 from Chester.

I can only fear the worst to be honest. Think a sound beating is on the cards.

Oldham 3 Walsall 0.

I'll go for the hat-trick and say 3-0 to Oldham too. My other prediction is that Deeney, Taundry, Palmer and Nicholls will all play.

We'll get an early goal against the run of play, before being torn apart and losing 3-1.

Well I'm going to go I think. Dunno why! We'll lose 3-0 and it will be effing freezing (as per usual at Boundary Park) and then I will have to suffer being humiliated by the Oldham fan who sits opposite me at work.

This would be a perfect time to bring Riech back. His quality and experience would be vital, but Muddle will probably not play him, yet again, which is unforgiveable! How can a player of such quality still be on the bench every game? JM, you are a clown.

Sorry to admit this, but im going to the bookies later, and filling in the slip with a 3-0 win for Oldham

A battling defeat...

To be honest, we are likely to be without 4 of our most important players and so a defeat today is expected, and shouldn't be used as another stick to beat Mullen.

why can't we use tonight to beat mullen?

if we win I'll praise him

if we lose and those players are missing, i'll want to know why gillmartin is our 2nd choice keeper when he's not good enough, why bradley has been left on the bench and taundry played in midfield (it will happen) why we have only got 2 strikers at the club (deeny and nicholls are wingers after all) why we only have 3 central defenders.

Adji, no offence meant my friend. I just noticed that you had started a couple of match threads recently, something that has in recent times been the domain of Duke. :)

Line-Up

Gilmartin

Weston
Gerrard
Smith
Palmer

Deeney
Mattis
Hughes
Taundry
Nicholls

Ricketts

Subs: Boertien, Zaaboub, Bradley, Reich, Sansara.

Lee Hughes and Darren Byfield up-front for them.

Certainly not the line-up I would have gone with after Saturday but hopefully Mullen will be prove me wrong.

So, that's two left backs on the bench and a right winger at left back, and two wide midfielders on the bench and two strikers in the wide midfield positions. :?
