IF were still non league next year, surely we have to try and sign him. Couple of seasons in him yet


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Didn't one of Donny's former chairmen get sent down for trying to torch Belle Vue in an insurance job? The bloke who took over did a very good job, spending lots of money (which he made from selling plastic knockers!  ) and getting the new stadium built.

Madejski spent masses on Reading, funding their stadium almost single-handedly.

Unfortunately, Fenty wasn't as wealthy as these two and we've taken a downward route...

As for Oster, he undoubtedly has a great amount of skill but I remember we bullied him out of the game at BP pretty easily in last season's play-off match. If we gave him a load of room the other night to allow him time on the ball, that was a tactical error.

I can see Fenty doing this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/2959215.stm

Someone said that when Oster went to Everton they saw him in a hotel. He looked so young and naive, more like a schoolboy.  Well he is still doing a good job as a seasoned pro on the pitch many years later.

I remember him playing for us away at forest, they had Huckerby. It might have been when we had Todd and briefly Pringle? He was top drawer that day.

He does live in Newcastle but he was out of contract for quite a while after Barnet and he would have come to grimsby if he had been approached.

Season after Todd and Pringle.


He was awesome that day.  We had Mansaram up front on his own chasing shadows whilst Oster sat off and gave their defence and midfield the run around.  
Was too much to expect of Mansaram at his age to do that job on his own.  Oster ended up passing to himself for most of the game.  Had we kept Oster for the rest of the season I'm certain we would have stayed up.

His best performance for us, in my opinion, though was during the first part of his loan that season.  Against Norwich at home (I think he got recalled after that to sit on the bench against Man Utd).  Never before or since have I seen one player take the game to a superior opposition single handedly and be so bloody good at it.  

When you consider how good Oster was here, it's baffling he only had a good career.   He should have achieved so much more.
