Charlie Oatway

[Goring Gull]

Now i don't like to dish out stick to an individual player, maybe this isn't even directed at him a such but a question i really ned awnsering is - How the Fcuk is Oatway still playing for us, he should have been scrapped the moment we made it into the championship first time round a couple of years back.

So long as MM gives him the shirt I'll get behind him. Have you wondered why, if he's not good enough, he is still here.

I guess it's because,

and wait for it,
you know what's coming,
yes,

WE CAN'T AFFORD ANYONE ELSE SO WE HAVE TO MAKE DO WITH WHAT WE HAVE.

Sake

My sentiments exactly.

Totally agree. Oatway is shit nowadays, sadly, but with minus millions in the bank, looks like we're stuck with him for the time being.

You going to Rotherham BHA.Fatboy?

He does wonders for morale in the dressing room so I hear. I'd rather have a 100%er than a more skilled player that doesn't give a .

Thats why the team is in the shit right now

Sod that mate, last away game of the season, give the overdraft a bit of extra exercise

That's what I've been doing all season anyway

Oatway is the heart of the club and that is the view of the coaching staff.

He is instumental behind the scenes in giving the players (especially the younger ones) the confidence that has bought us so much success over the last few years.

Every manager since Adams has commented on the team spirit. New players such as Nicolas, McCammon etc. always comment upon it in the press.

A lot of it is down to our unique circumstances, but most of it is down to Charlie, even when Cullip was around who was more of the authority figure anyway.

In the above respects he is absolute gold dust and something that Mcghee would have picked up on very early on.

Whether he plays or not is another matter, but I strongly suspect they would hate to get rid of him even he never made the squad. He's seen as being that important.

Yes, it's that attitude of fans that means we have no money

Leave Charlie Oatway alone, whatever some of you may think of him his contribution in the dressing room between now and the season is pivotal.

Its not that, its the fact he does little on the pitch to carry on starting ahead of the likes of Hammond

What is good enough for the Championship ?

Charlie is no Viera but he IMO does a very important job in the midfield. He provides a link in the middle of the park. He has also IMO been more effectual than Chippy or Nicolas. If we could afford and attract better do you think we wouldn't.

If that is the case, he should have the non-playing role of "Club Captain" that Paul Rogers had at the end, with a real player with skill playing on the pitch. Charlie Oatway is a slow, shite player - fact!

He has had a bad run of form lately. I do not agree with him being picked in front of Hammond because Hammond does venture into the oppositions box now and again.

With Hart and Knight suspended it is likely both Hammond and Oatway will start tomorrow, but Mark Mcghee may pull a suprise, as he often does and start with Watson in midfield
