Oldham Athletic FC versus Brighton and Hove Albion FC - Official match thread

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

Just about the only major transfer ballsup we thoughtPoyet had made was the second return of Carole.... now it seems he even got this right!!!

Is Gus Poyet really the Messiah?

no just a very naughty... gah

Will today be the day that we secure our first division status as clubs below us dropping points. Not mathematically granted but in all probability.

 

[portlander]

Tempting fate I know, but we sound pretty comfortable right now

Fixtures: We are Staying Up!

My Forecasts (original post):

Even with an average to mediocre record, I think we should survive.

March
Mon 8 19:45 A 1-2 Colchester FL1
Sat 13 15:00 H 0-2 Swindon Town FL1
Tue 16 19:45 H 2-1 Brentford FL1
Sat 20 15:00 A 0-1 Oldham FL1
Sat 27 15:00 H 3-1 Tranmere FL1

May
Sat 1 15:00 A 1-3 MK Dons FL1
Sat 8 15:00 H Yeovil Town FL1

15 points

Total: 52 GD -12


So if we beat Oldham we would look to get 56 points before the penultimate match and it looks like we should stay up!

So what are the chances of us holding on to both of these full backs? Sounds like they are both quality, and our defensive record recently proves it

 

[BensGrandad]

Isnt there still 27 points top play for?

Yes but with clubs having to play each other plus the number that will be below us as I said in all probability.

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

nonsense to all the stats...

we are a GOOD TEAM NOW

no two ways about it. gus is legend already imo

Morning everyone, just got back in from the nightclubs.

How goes the Albion juggernaut?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Not likely to hold onto Painter but am alittle nervous that we doint tie Calderon to a contract PDQ.... losing both would be disastrous.

 

[vulture]

gills 2-2

 

[portlander]

Charlton 2 Gills 2

Gus has money to spend in the summer ...........so theres a good chance that we will keep Calderon as for Painter he has said he wants to fight for his place at Swansea but things change

 

[vulture]

orient 2-0 down southend down to ten

 

[clarkey]

I guess the best chance of Painter staying is if Swansea go up, not beyond the realms of possibility either....

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Becoming a bit of a borefest now... still at 2-0 who's complaining

oh-oh corner and a yellow!
