Oldham Athletic v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Greetings, Oldham fans.

I very much hope that our match today shall live up to the proud history of what is the most famous club competition in the world.

*****************************************************************************

WOLVES: Ikeme, Ricketts, Batth, Stearman, Golbourne, Henry, Davis, Price, Edwards, Sako, Cassidy.

SUBS: McCarey, Elokobi, Ebanks-Landell, Forde, Sigurdarson, Doyle, Griffiths.

OLDHAM: Oxley, Grounds, Wesolowski, Kusunga, Tarkowski, Smith, Rooney, Mellor, Clarke-Harris, Dayton, Philliskirk.

SUBS: Brown, Schmeltz, Montano, Millar, Winchester, Rachubka, Bove.

***************************************************************************

Oldham Athletic defeated Nottingham Forest and Liverpool on their way to the fifth round last season.

Wolves' last trip to Boundary Park was also in the FA Cup back in January 2007 when, in Mick McCarthy's first season in charge, the visitors had second-half goals from Darren Potter and Craig Davies to thank for a 2-0 third round replay victory.

Joe Mills has been denied the chance to play by parent club Burnley, while the game will come too soon for injured duo Connor Brown and Charlie MacDonald. Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett could make changes, with Dave Edwards, Jamie O'Hara, Anthony Forde, Jake Cassidy and Bjorn Sigurdarson all chasing a place. Right-back Matt Doherty (hamstring) has a chance after missing three games. But Wolves' other hamstring victim, midfielder Kevin McDonald, is still out, having so far missed last Saturday's 2-0 victory over Stevenage and Tuesday night's 2-2 draw at Carlisle.

They have been poisoned - three can't play and it looks like the 11 that made the pitch are ill.

Mansfield (H)

Just missed Orient (A) - Walsall

Also, FC Copenhagen could only muster a lack lustre draw against the terrible Esbjerg - they are now a whole nine points behind Midtjylland.

For the ignorant:

Midtjylland are equivalent to Southampton
Esbjerg are equivalent to Crystal Palace
Copenhagen are equivalent to Manchester United

Who are Galatasaray the equivalent of?
Or Juventus for that matter

Another season bottom of their Champions League group under Stale. The people of Copenhagen will be dancing in the streets

I think you are probably right, the results alone so far will have them gaining extra ranking points.
He may well emulate his last spell when he took a team to the second round and earned Denmark massive ranking points as well.

I assume that is why he is one of few mentioned for the Danish national team job.

One of the most coveted jobs in world football.

Good luck to him, he's back at his level. No Cinci, NOT Champions League - messing around with no ambition as by far the richest club in a league equivalent to League two, getting the most boring draws imaginable against a big European club, a quite big European club and a smallish European club twice each a year.


Why are you SO obsessed with defending him Cinci? Do you think he was good for Wolves? Do you genuinely think he's a good manager? I know you think it is the same as Bute defending Mick...but it isn't. Mick was with us for over five years and gave us the most successful spell in the club's recent history while making a net profit on transfers and giving us an England cap, Stale was with us six months and gave us the worst six months in the club's recent history and left us with one of the worst transfer legacies too.

Do I think he is a good manager? Yes.

Did he do well at wolves? No

Were there deeper issues? Absolutely.

Is it just a coincidence that four managers couldn't get the team playing? Of course not.

Is it a coincidence that the fifth manager clears out the losing mentality and we start winning again? Of course not.

So it's Mick's fault
