roughyed1064 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 see why batley fans did not rate diskin now, but if we did get shut of him where do we go from here, example we just dont have the squad up to championship standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m brooksy Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Absolutely terrible performance. The half backs are the worst I've seen in my time watching Oldham. Hewitt hides all game out on the left doing nothing. Charnock is simply shocking. Can't pass the ball which is disgraceful for a half back. Picking these two again week after week is insanity, we saw last year in the 5 game sample that they weren't good enough . Must go out and find a stand off to go with Barran at scrum half and put Green back in at full back. The likes of Bridge and Nelmes wouldn't be too far behind the half backs for me. They have been terrible. Poor Benty is getting worse week by week and that last play of the game where he didn't know it was the last tackle was extremely poor. Only positives I could see were the front rowers. Joy was very good after a long spell out whilst Kirk and Reilly were our best two players by a significant distance. We actually looked a lot better in the last 15 when we just focused on the ptb and all supported Gregory through the middle. A very bad day all round.

I was in conversation with a few of them some time ago on their forum asking how Mick Ward was doing. They said they'd heard he'd signed up for Oldham. They told me in no uncertain terms they weren't keen on him either as a coach or a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandle Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 hewitt/charnock/bent/owen/both abrams/are not champ. standard. and some of the backs we have signed are only academy players and have never played champ rugby. so i would say we have about 10 players who are not fit for purpose thats a lot of players. and just to add this we are leaking average points against per match 36.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh 'Brooksy', if a final result of a loss at 28:32 is appalling, where does that leave Sheffield? Of course, the result was very disappointing and lessons certainly need to be taken from the errors and lapses in defence which led to the loss, but overall the game was played with a lot of intensity and effort by both sides. If we had just edged the game at the end, something which we very nearly did, it would have been a very different story. Here's to the next game. Come on Oldham!

ChampagneCharlieReturns Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Gifted Sheffield most of their points again yesterday, the key for me was the try we gave away right on halftime, and the dropped ball from kick off after getting back into it. Agree with the above key positions just just not upto it at the moment, I would get bowman on loan from batley and also nisbet back for season to strengthen the halves and fullback, play barran every week when he's fit. We need to roll our sleeves up now I fear we won't get out of that bottom two without drastic changes now unfortunately. I'll be there as always though next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield were the marginally better of two poor teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyed Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I think the clubs Match Review summed up the game v well. Oldham dominated possession and territory but lacked a clinical edge . Decent halves and fullback are priceless in this league. In every other position i personally think we have a strong squad but unless Diskin can find an answer in those key positions we wont stay up. That was a poor Sheffield team and a very winnable game. How they were able to put 32 points on us at home is concerning but at least they dug in and made a game in the end.

shaw llewellyn Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I agree with Happyed in that the forwards at least are a match for most teams in the championship but aren't being used correctly whether that is due to the quality of the halves/hooker or the coaching. Prime example, in my opinion, is Liam Bent. He will tackle all day but we still seem to use him to drive the ball in from first receiver when he rarely passes or breaks a tackle. He may be a willing runner but get the others to do the hard yards and let him save his energy to tackle whatever comes in front of him. The last few weeks have been bad but we still have hope.

tandle Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 it seems that newcastle v oldham is not being shown on our league. 2nd week of oldham matches not being shown,just about sums it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Thank God - I didn't sleep a wink after last week. I kept seeing Bent take the tackle wit two players outside of him with only one to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
