I wouldn't start Henry if we're not playing a No.10, seemed to be almost sulking last week when asked to play elsewhere. Get some pace on the wings and some balls in the box. Carroll at LB because everyone's been sh*t there, might as well give him a go.
2-0, Ledson + OG. COYY, please win

I’ll be interested to see what he does with the team tomorrow. I really think he should start Ricardinho, because neither ASB nor Ruffels have proved themselves to be good enough at LB. So what if his contract extends? We need to play our best left back if we want the defence to improve. Let’s focus on staying up before we worry about next season.
I also think we could do with pushing Mousinho in to midfield. We need someone in there with a bit more experience and calmness on the ball (not too calm though, Mous).
That said, I think we’ll see the same line up as Monday (except Thomas over Mehmeti), and once again I think teams will overload on the wings (especially down our left side) and exploit our lack of width and inability to defencd crosses.
Hearts says 2-0 win, head is saying 1-0 loss.
Biggest game of the season so far. COYY

Given the remaining fixtures I think Oldham and the 2 home games afterwards will be the most important in the season when it's all said and done. These are the games where we just have to get behind the players no matter what. We need people singing and chanting as loud as possible, and fewer moans and groans in the stands putting pressure on our players - this squad isn't the strongest mentally.
I know people will say players have to give us reason to sing and support them and not the other way around, but really and truly that attitude belongs at the start of the season when there's nothing at stake. It's too late for that. We waited 15 years to get back to League One, let's not give it up easily in the games that count.
The players really have to turn up tomorrow, no doubt, but this game will probably be close and if we can really support the team and give them an extra boost it could make a real difference. We've got to bring the noise from the first kick of the game, whichever way we're kicking. COYY

Making me depressed before we've even kicked a ball!
Nervous 2-1 win. We take an early lead through rothwell before adding one midway through the second half with Thomas. Oldham get one back in the 85th leading to stewards complaining about the amount of nails on the floor. We hold on for 3 points however.
