  1. I fully agree with what you are saying. However the poor attendance was in my opinion down to the England game and that Hunslet, so I believe, only brought about 20.

    The crowds will be there when the big games come along. We must just get out of this division and with our star players - JT, Mo, Wardle, Lawton and probably Craven the job is going to be harder with a resurgent Oldham "A" team only three weeks away.

  2. Can I fully support OLDHAM 1876 in all that he/she says. We have the makings of a great club again and any criticism is not malicious is just showing interest, and a possible suggestion of something to add so as to make the club accessible  to all.

    As Mike Ford reminds us "It's our club."

  3. Sorry but your argument about giving the opposition a chance to counter our game plan is a nonsense. Sean puts out a list of 21 players so it doesn't give anything away. I agree it would be good to get to a Q&A session but lots can't get there.

    I am not doubting the fantastic work being done, nothing in my 64 years of watching comes anywhere near what's being done.

    How is Jordan anyway?

  4. Littleborough Roughyed said Taylor has been a disappointment this season. LR only needs to see how much work he puts in. Game against Newcastle he put in 40 tackles way more than anyone else and tops the tackle count in most games.

    I feel he is a loose forward not a second rower - but what do I know.

    The side needs someone to create gaps, yesterday became boring with one out rugby. I know we have a superb set of forwards but we need someone to mix it up so causing problems rather than the opposition knowing what to expect. Else at Rochdale or Miller at Keighley are good examples of this.

  5. The Boys are back in town!

    I just hope it's fine, and if it is we will break the 2000 barrier.

    It's a bit strange with Hunslet they beat Keighley and get hammered by the Oldham "A" team. Surely, the hairnets aren't that good? Or is it Hunslet are struggling like most teams with injuries and just got a team out on the pitch.

  6. Let's hope the Yeds play to the structure they were playing to in the first half last week for the full 80 minutes.

    Longy will have problems picking his forwards for what is always a forward battle at Derwent Park. I hope to see some of the injured backs getting some playing time for the difficult games coming up.

  7. Fair comment.

    But I agree the L1 fixture system is a farce. Sooperdooperleeg are only bothered about themselves the rest can go to the wall as far as they are concerned. Their mantra is "we've got the money and you're getting nowt!"

  8. Can't fault 75% of the performance they looked totally focussed on both attack and defence. But why do they stop sticking to the game plan that was working and wanting to score off every set.

    Who ever organises the coach trip deserves a pat on the back.

    And final question, I recognised the referee for his mistakes, how many times have we had him this season?

  9. It will be interesting to see who Sean plays against a side we should, on paper, paste.

    I would play the strongest side possible so as to get some confidence back into the side. We have to be honest, the last two games have been dreadful and I know we have got injuries but so do other sides. Both K. and NWC had injuries and had to bring in loan players.

    I've gone on about points difference from the start of the season, I still feel it will come down to it. With that thought K. won't be easing off, they will amass has many points in every game they play. We have to do the same.

  10. Has there been any approaches to anyone who wants to join the board. I was just thinking back when the club was re-born when, I think it was Kelvin Lord and Sean Whitehead were there with CH, have they shown any interest in coming back?

    I would do but I only have my old age pension!
