m brooksy 619 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 After a week off we travel to Batley for the early kick on Saturday. With a very impressive second half showing against Swinton we'll be going there full of confidence although Batley's start has been very impressive beating Fax away in the cup and then pushing Fev very close twice in a row in league and cup. Think they've made some very impressive signings such as Gilmore and White in the halves but Elliot Hall is one to watch out for at full back been superb when i've seen him this year. Hopefully we can have a few of the injured lads particularly Nelmes and Joy. Don't think Barran will be fit in team with a groin strain so i'd stick with Charnock and Hewitt in the halves. Think i'd keep the rest of the 17 the same as the Swinton game with maybe just a few minor changes such as Langtree back into the starting team. UP THE YEDS 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Art of Hand and Foot 1,027 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Really looking forward to this game. I know jts still early doors but after getting the 2 points against Swinton, competing, away from home, against a competent Batley team will do us no harm whatsoever. They're going to be confident but I really believe we can do it. Come on Oldham come on Oldham. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Mac 148 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Think a win is a step too far for me at the moment - although truly hope I'm wrong. As Brooksy says, our impressive second half showing against Swinton should give the boys a lot of confidence so it's fingers crossed. I would be over the moon with a win but would settle for a close game with a narrow loss. Come on you Yeds!!!!!!!!! 1 Tony Mac If you’re going through hell, keep going – Winston Churchill Link to post Share on other sites
Bert Street 31 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Have a go, say I. Mount Pleasant always suited a strong pack and that's our strong suit. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
OL14.yeds 107 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 It looks like few on the Batley forum reckon it’s a foregone conclusion. If our pack start to win the battle in the middle and we complete our sets well we’ll give them a good game. They look strong in the halves like Swinton, but we managed to nullify theirs for large parts of the opening league game. I’m looking forward to a good contest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
The Art of Hand and Foot 1,027 Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 I think Disko's previous with them will stand us in good stead. Their fans, on the forum, think they'll batter us down the middle and smash us in the backs. I genuinely think they'll be in for a shock.

shaw llewellyn 118 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Batley have a fullback and two halves. We have three people wearing shirts but offering very little. Very disappointing half. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LittleboroRoughyed 108 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Really disappointing first half regardless of missing players & injuries. Batley are no better than Swinton but poor discipline & handling & the game is over. Tough 2nd half going uphill need to keep score down 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Oldham 1 33 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Missing our big forwards and losing bridge and heaton hasn't helped but our halves have been terrible and our defence is shocking today gaps all over the place 1 Link to post Share on other sites

66 years a fan 1 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Wrong team at Batley, if you have a big pack for the first time in many years...play them. This is bad management resulting in 3 out of 4 losses so far, are we looking at an early exit yet again 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bromleybulldog 472 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Too many handling errors but when on the attack Oldham looked a tidy side. You'll win games this season. Home form will be crucial. Good luck for the rest of the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
saints10coach 141 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I thought todays game would be a good indicator of where we will be competing in the league. Batley are a nailed on mid table team. Today told us we will be battling at the bottom again. As for the game we cannot afford to give any that many penalties and repeat sets. Our execution with ball in hand mostly was sloppy.

roughyed1064 138 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 continue to play like this and we will be back in division 1 next year just not good enough. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
