    With there only being 20 ties in the second round, I’m hoping that every game will be televised / streamed via BBC.

    BBC streamed 13 games in the first round so there’s every chance given that fact.

    They'll be too professional to think that beating our kids will equate to an easy time in the the FA Cup. Hope I'm wrong though.

    Kewell is a very poor manager, so failing to beat them won't bode well...

    Why he's poor, or why it won't bode well?

    Win percentages of 31 and 21 percent pretty much speak for themselves, and it's not going well this season either with 6 losses from 11 games.

    Oldham are a crackpot side, granted, but Kewell is a crackpot appointment nonetheless. They'll be bottom five if he stays. They make our results look good by comparison!

    A friend of mine is an Oldham ST. When we exchanged views on What’sapp about the Oldham/City match yesterday, he said, ‘As usual our stats are poor. Watching the EFL videos (i-follow) we look a poor disorganised team’. When l pointed out who was playing for the respective clubs, on the night, the reply was, ‘yes we had a few youth players. Unfortunately it’s our first choice team that’s struggling’. So someone who supports them analysis of their current team.

    The interesting figures would be how many stayed tuned in after each city goal. I bet a few tuned out after our first once the upset was most likely off..

    He has been the manager of Notss County, Crawley and Oldham. His current win percentage is around the 40% mark with Oldham. Its not that poor really.
    McCalls win percentage at Scunthrope and in his third spell here have been 30.8% and 31.8%.

    His career win percentage is 32.9 percent.

    That is horrendous.

    That is when Stuart is at his absolute worst.

    That is Kewell at his absolute best.

    After my last post, l got this further message, 'Having watched the EFL video replay, "you was robbed". Your young players far outplayed us. Excellent saved by the keeper. Really good prospects there. '
    So a view from the opposition supporters.:thumbup:

    I wonder if many turned off the Oxford City v Northampton Town match on Monday, when Northampton went ahead after 7 minutes.

    It's easy to be magnanimous when you've won.

    Is your mate related to Fordy?

    In honesty, the big positive was the younger players but question marks still exist amongst some senior players

    So couple this with the £25,500 if we win and it is another good pay day.

    A lot of new seats, and hot water in the toilets if our budget is frozen and we haven’t spent all that we can this season. ;)
