Seeing as im from rochdale i hope oldham crash and burn! lol only joking good luck pal.
 
1 May.Coca-Cola League 1

Yeovil 1-5 Oldham(Abbott 2 goals,Taylor 2 goals,Smalley)

Well the best away win this season.I think Yeovil are the easiest opponent in the league,so no real surprise we won with 4 goals difference.

8 May.Coca-Cola League 1.Last game of the season.

Oldham 1-1 Charlton(Worthington)

Well not a bad way to end the season.

Here are tables of Premiership,Championship,League 1 and League 2.Also I've made a really nice transfer.



 
Superb pal! 95points in your first season is class! Leeds United always run away with the title so second place is the best anyone (who doesn't) cheat usually do!

Who u looking to bring in to help keep u up? Do you have any manager policies? Salary caps,only signing players from England etc?

You'll see.I've made some killer transfers,but I'll update after an hour
 
Transfers,Season Expectatons,Team:

My Thoughts on the new Players:

Goalkeeper

Jamie Ashdown - free - Portsmouth


I'm really happy with this transfer.I'm gonna pay him 7,750
£ per week.He's a lot better than Walker.I need a new keeper because Walker made too many mistakes last season and didn't save a single penalty and there were a lot of penalties againts us,all scored.

Right backs


Danny Simpson - free - Manchester United

A
nother great transfer.He'll fight for a first eleven place with Liam Rosenior.

Liam Rosenior - free - Reading

I'm surprised that Reading didn't extend Rosenior's contract.He's one of the best Championship right-backs along with Danny Simpson


Left back

Lee Naylor - free - Celtic

Great signing.He's now the best left-back in the team.We really need him because he's championship class

Centre defender

Martin Taylor - free - Birmingham

He is good as Fortune,maybe a little better.They're both Championship class and I think they'll both do well this season.

Central midfielders

Mark Randall - free - Arsenal

He'll be a first eleven this season along with Arron Gunnarson.I think they'll both make the opponents struggle againts us.I'm glad that I got Randall on free

Arron Gunnarson - 1 300 000 £ - Coventry

He's really cheap.We got lucky that Coventry got relegated from the Championship and they transfer-listed him by request.

Left winger

Nick Barmby - free - Hull

He'll probably be a first eleven player but only for this year because he's getting old for football - he's 36.He was sad to leave Hull.

Bobby Convey - free - San Jose

Ex-Reading player.He'll join us on 1.1.2011,when his conctract ends

Strikers

Kevin Phillips - free - Birmingham

He'll be a regular for around 5-6 months because he's getting old for football,just like Barmby.Rhys Murphy is going to replace him as a regular

Lee Miller - free - Aberdeen

Good player for the Championship.I read on this forum that he scores lots of goals,I hope that's true.Last season for Aberdeen he score 5 goals in 8 games,not bad.

Rhys Murphy - free - Arsenal

This boy has a lot of potential.He can become an international player in 5-6 years.I'm surprised Arsenal released him

Players I'm interested in:
Ryan McGowan - 1 200 000
£

I'm confident that I can win Championship with this team.

I'm really surprised that Bristol City,who got promoted to Premier League bought Hazell and Stefanovic.


 
7 July 2010.Hearts' defender Ryan McGowan joins Oldham for 1 200 000

10 July 2010.Pre-season.Liverpool become Oldham's parent team.


Oldham 1-0 Kilmarnock(Phillips)

Not bad,considering that there are 11 new players in the team.First half we played with the best players in the team,the second half i made 9 substitutions.We had a goal disallowed.

15 July 2010

Coventry 0-0 Oldham

We outplayed Coventry,but we didn't win.Same - first half - the best eleven,second half - whole different team.Coventry have sold most of the players because of their relegation and it was likely for us to win,but luck was on the opponent's side.Rhys Muprhy got injured(damaged spine).He'll be out for 2-3 months.

18 July 2010

Krisztian Nemeth will join Oldham on loan from Liverpool for the next 6 months.

20 July 2010

Oldham 2-2 West Brom(Taylor,Miller)

We were better than West Brom,but we didn't win this one.It's a good thing that are playing really well againts higher reputation teams.Ryan McGowan got injured(broken ribs).He'll out for a month

24 July 2010

Martin Taylor got injured in training(twisted ankle).He'll be out for 4-5 weeks.

25 July 2010

Huddersfield 2-2 Oldham(Miller,Phillips)

Good performance,but for some reason we didn't won.Most of the time Huddersfield were defending.Ashdown was solid this match.

28 July 2010

Martin Kelly will join Oldham on loan from Liverpool for the next 6 months.

30 July 2010

Exeter 0-1 Oldham(Phillips)

I think the players just underrated Exeter.After Phillips scored in the first half,we started playing like we were leading with 3-4 goals.Exeter had many dangerous attacks,but failed to score.

Some excellent signings there mate! Kevin Phillips will be key to you staying in the Championship! Whats your season aims and have you got a salary cap?
 
7th August.Coca-Cola League Championsip.Matchday 1

Fulham 0-1 Oldham(Phillips)

I didn't expect to win this game.I'm really happy we won because it was an away game for us againts such a good team,I'm surprised they got relegated.

10th August.League cup,First round.

Barrow 1-8 Oldham(Miller hat-trick,Furman,Smalley 2 goals,Barmby,Kelly)

What a win!And Barrow are a League 2,who got a 2-1 win againts relegated Leyton Orient and next match they lose 8-1...Barrow's goal was from a penalty.

14th August.Coca-Cola Championsip.Matchday 2

Leeds 1-1 Oldham(Miller)

I think the players were a little too much confident after the 8-1 win.We were better than Leeds,but they were leading until the 81st minute.We deserved at least a draw and we got it.

21st August.Coca-Cola Championsip .Matchday 3

Oldham 4-1 Doncaster(Gunnarsson,Nemeth 2 goals,Taylor)

Doncaster were the favourites for this match,but they lost with many goals.Excellent performance from the players and I expect to see more of the same.

21st August.Coca-Cola Championsip.League Cup,2nd Round.

Oldham 3-3 Portsmouth(Phillips,Smalley,McGowan)Portsmouth win on penalties 5-3:S

Despite the loss,I'm really delighted of what the players showed.They showed that they're no pushovers againts a Premiership side.



22nd August.Nicky **** and Liam Bridcutt join The Lactics


24th August.Coca-Cola Championsip.Matchday 4

Oldham 0-0 Norwich

We totally outplayed Norwich,but we failed to score.At least we are doing better than expected

If anybody wants screenshots of something just tell me

2nd September.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 5

Preston 0-0 Oldham

That match wasn't really interesting,there weren't many chances for both teams.


11th September.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 6

Oldham 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday(Barmby)

Good result.The defence was the best part of the team this game,they did a really good job to keep the score.Nicky **** got injured(broken arm)He'll be out for around a month.


14th September.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 7

Oldham 2-1 Wigan(Randall,Murphy)

Fantastic win.I'm happy that Rhys Murphy scored on his debut.He hit the bar too.Ashdown saved many Wigan shots on target.


18th September.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 8

Swansea 1-2 Oldham(Gunnarsson 2 goals)

Gunnarsson and Rosenior had a really great game.We didn't let Swansea to attack us often,that's the reason we won.


21th September.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 9

Oldham 1-1 Plymouth(Smalley)

I'm a little dissapointed that we didn't won,but we at least got something from this game.Smalley scored in the 7th minute,Donnelly equalized in the 70th minute.Most of the game was a midfield battle.

25th September.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 10

Derby 1-1 Oldham(Miller)

We got lucky to get a point.Derby were leading until the 82nd minute when Miller scored a goal from 30 metres.

28th September.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 11

Oldham 1-1 Nottingham Forest(Phillips)

A bore draw.Phillips scored in the 29th minute and Cohen equalized one minute later:(.After the goals nothing interesting happened


 
Fantastic start if you ask me, especially seen as it's your first season at this level! Also, you very active in the transfer window and players usually take time to gel, but your team seems to have settled well!

Who's been on the best form so far? The Fulham game stands out the most....

Keep it up....
 
2nd Ocotober.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 12.

QPR 2-2 Oldham(Taylor,Phillips)

Four draws in a row.I think we should win the next game againts Reading.Half-time was 2-1 for QPR.They had possesion of the ball 51%.After this game Magilton was sacked by QPR.

16th Ocotober.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 13

Reading 3-1 Oldham(Nemeth)

I'm really dissapointed.The score can tell why.Half-time was 1-1 and I thought we can win this,but after Reading made 2-1 we didn't have a single shot...Their third goal was from a free kick.6 games without win.That's bad

19th Ocotober.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 14

Oldham 2-0 Ipswich(Murphy own goal,Phillips)

Finally a win.Great performance.I hope I can see more of the same.Also Rhys Murphy will join Charlton on a 3-month loan.

28th Ocotober.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 15

Blackpool 2-3 Oldham(Barmby,Miller,Fortune)

It's good to get a win over one of our rivals.The winning goal was scored in the 95th minute by Fortune with a header.Lee Naylor didn't really had a good game.

30th Ocotober.Coca-Cola Championship.Matchday 16

Oldham 1-3 Sheffield United(Miller)

Everything was same just like the game againts Reading.Lee Naylor had a really bad game.2 of Sheffield United's goals were because of his mistakes.After the game I criticized his form.

2nd November.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 17

Watford 4-4 Oldham(Randall,Taylor 2 goals,Nemeth)

Nice performace.Too bad Watford equalized in the 86th minute(it was 3-4 for us).Taylor was man of the match and he deserved it.Jamie Ashdown got injured in 91st minute.He'll be out for 2-3 weeks.


6th November.Jason Steele joins The Lactics on a month-long loan.Rhys Murhy joins Charlton on a 3-month loan

7th November.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 18

Oldham 2-0 Birmingham(Smalley,Nemeth)

I'm surprised we won.Birmingham had some quality players like N'Gog,Larsson and McFadden.It was a very nervous game.Jason Steele saved a penalty:)

13th November.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 19

Oldham 2-2 Crystal Palace(Phillips 2 goals)

I must admit we were the weaker team and we got lucky to get a point.Crystal Palace had 12 shots on target and we - 5.Also they had 4% more possesion than us.Jason Steele was the man of the match.

17th November.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 20

Cardiff 1-2 Oldham(Randall,Miller)

Nice performance.Jamie Ashdown recovered from his injury and played in this match and did real good.

27th November.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 21

Oldham 3-1 Peterborough(Nemeth,Gunnarsson,Smalley)

That was an easy win.Nick Bamrby was the best.He made all the assists for our goals.

14th December.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 24

Phillip McGrath - Kiddersminster - free
Joe Jacobson - St Mirren - 150 000£.

Freddie Ljungberg - Seattle - free
Bobby Convey - San Jose - free
Jonjo Shelvey - Charlton 1 900 000
£

Marlon Beresford will retire on 26.6.2011

23rd December.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 26

Fulham were leading 2-0 but we managed to turn around the score.If we play like that until the end of the season we can win The Championship

26th December.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 27

Norwich 0-0 Oldham

I must admit Plymouth deserved their win.Seip scored with a header in the 18th minute.Ashdown had a good game.

12th January.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 31

Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Oldham(Gunnarsson,Phillips)

Nice win.First half was boring - 0-0.The second half we scored 2 goals for 3 minutes and Sheffield Wednesday were defending until the final whistle.Tudgay scored for them in the 86th minute from a free-kick.

15th January.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 32

22nd January.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 33

Oldham 4-4 Swansea(Miller hat-trick,Gunnarsson)

What a game!I'm dissapointed we didn't win.Kevin Phillips got injured in the second minute(twisted ankle,he'll be out for 2-3 weeks)Half-time we were losing 1-0.Then Miller scored a hat-trick and it was 3-1 for us.For 10 minutes Swansea scored 3 goals - 3-4.Gunnarsson equalized in the 93rd minute from a free-kick.


29th January.Coca-Cola Championship,matchday 34

Oldham 4-3 QPR(Miller 2 goals,Randall,Fortune)

I'm proud of the team.We played really well.Half-time was 1-1.Then QPR scored 2 goals - 1-3 and I thought the score will be the same for the rest of the game.For 12 minutes(from 80 to 92) we scored 3 goals.
