The Point Scoring Thread

Don't waste your time Fonzie, they are all as bad as each other with this 'point scoring', on both the positive and negative sides.
There's absolutely no need for it, surely.

 

Tbf this thread was a bit tongue in cheek - I think whichever way the result went today there would have been a few weirdos posting bilge.

 

Yeah well we move on, and what a result that was ehh, it should be in your top music of all time thread (even though its not a song!).

 

Just as one win means nothing. One or two defeats mean the same. Best time to judge a new team
And manager (in terms of fairness) is Christmas time. I’ve seen us hammer teams and do nothing. I’ve seen us lose to team heavily and have successful seasons. In some respects the first half reminded me of the time we lost 6-1 away to tranmere when we battered them. Though second half Vale went to pieces.

Great start from the team. In terms of result all you could want. Performance first half against a better team wouldn’t be good enough. Luckily the division is significantly weaker this time round.

 

Ner ner, told you so. I know best. I rule. End of..

 

agree 100%

 

It's more the fact that anyone who defended the club selling Norwood or had any positive view was labeled a happy clapper, we needed a new striker new defenders, we would struggle to pick up points from the opening 5 games negativity was rife on here and it has been all pre season.
It was a great result and a great 2nd half but like you say lose next Saturday to Bristol and the negativity will be back. So just enjoy the win.

 

Guy near me 5 mins in: ‘Cole’s like a bag of cement’.
After Cole’s 3rd goal: twirling scarf around in the air and dancing.

 

Let's be right if Norwood had scored a hatrick and oldham had won 4 nil instead of getting dicked 4 nil and we had lost to port Vale and not scored the pitch forks would be out and it would be toxic on here. Thankfully this hasn't happened few people eating abit of humble pie were all mates enjoy the win.

 

My main gripe has been people knocking the club for signing from non-league, when our recruitment from down the pyramid has typically been quite productive. Lopata and Shepherd both impressed, and Dallas got a goal. It's early days of course but I think people may have forgotten that this league isn't particularly strong. Targeted signings like Lopata and Dallas can certainly contribute this season and it was unfair for people to write them off out of hand. Hopefully this will be kept in mind in future.

 

Not a lot wrong with today's effort. Even when they attacked we coped, defence were cool, calm and collected, when the ball did get through our new keeper did the job, brilliant .
Everybody played their part, I hope O'keefe's injury isn't much he did well. New strikers performed and slotted in well. What were the downsides, couldn't really think of any.

 

Some morons booed when his name was read out before kick off.

 

Go on then I will put in a few posts I made about Jon Russell

Good post. your egativjty comment is interesting and points to the fact that the moaners and whingers on here are in the minority.
There were 12000 of us in that ground today who all wanted one thing. No moaning from kick off. no anti club rhetoric from kick off.
What that illustrates for me is that the shouting and screaming voices of doom on here are very much in the minority.
And for them who continue to moan and groan, whatever the results this season, just think on that you're a tiny tiny voice.

 

Throwing my virtual tomatoes as we speak.

 

Points well scored my friend. for too long people on here who try to preach patience and perspective are hammered by the constant whingeing of people who have nothing but vitriol aimed at the club.
