Tony Rea seemed to hit the nail on the head in commentary. We ran the ball in without any support players or decoy runners so Widnes committed 4 players to a tackle, stopped Oldham players in their tracks and slowed the play the ball. Widnes did the opposite so we could only commit two men to a tackle which gained them ground and got them quick play the balls. Off the back of that their halves and full back had time and space to work W know Reilly and Dupree in particular can break tackles so a few adjustments to our attack might reap rewards. Hope someone at the club paid the £4.95 and they can watch the game back and listen to the commentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stewards closing areas off even at the end of the game forcing spectators to go right around the ground to get out. A public service disaster. What really worried me about the game was the attendance. The first game back with spectators, take away the Widnes support I would reckon we had about 200 Oldhamers. I am not sure that Widnes are full time pros but what a luxury being able to play Matty Smith at loose forward! We haven' got anyone on our books with the skill to change things and sadly the blame has to be at Diskin's door because he signed most of these players. Next home game £4.50, instead of the £19, and a pint at home. The beauty being I can turn it off. I don't think they're allowed to sell drinks under the current rules. I think I read somewhere that drinks are not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleboroRoughyed Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 In addition to the dummy runners & support play, the forwards need to be running straighter. Against York & Widnes, Nelmes was running across the pitch. Whilst Spencer & Langtree are not the biggest they run hard & straight so does Fletcher. Fletcher should be getting more game time as he has been better than Pick & Bridge is still carrying an injury. We need a SL loan fullback & halfback if Barran is not near fitness or I would put Owen or J Abram or Green - we need to try something. The best thing about Charnock is his defence & Hewitt is more an organizer than flair player, together they don't work unless your forwards are dominating the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
