Sheffield - Game 9

[oldham maxonian]

Am I the only one who objects violently to this date switch? We can't blame Sky now for late changes that inconvenience fans when we do it ourselves, and just because of a football match! Why not just delay start, if watching the football is deemed to be so important? I am sure I am not the only fan who is otherwise committed on the Saturday.

[clifford]

Because of the switch I can't go. I am resigned to the fact that I will supporting from a far in 2021

[sheddingswasus]

No Callum Green again?

[m brooksy]

I can't believe that squad. We've been battered by Haven by 34. Fev by 68. York by 30+ then Widnes by 40 who took their half backs off after 45 mins. And yet he's gone with the same team aside from Joy probably coming into the 17.

And we'll probably get our bottom handed to us again.

Seems odd that Green not on injured list but not even in 21. I fear something afoot behind the scenes. Abram has not shown up well in last couple of games and yet I can't see Hartley replacing him so it really does seem like the definition of madness - doing the same thing and expecting a different result. I hope we are all proved wrong

[jroyales]

If we do what we've always done we will always get what we've gotten  -  a right pasting!!!!!

Diskin has lost the plot and the trust of the loyal fans. Is it time for him to go before it's too late?

[tandle]

correct me if iam wrong but assent diskin got a three year contract.

i fear for oldham tomorrow diskin seems obsessed with playing hewitt/charnock/abram/they bring nothing to the team.

i am hoping against hope that oldham win tomorrow,if we lose we are in a very critical position and in dire straits.

we are in a deep hole and the problem is the hole is getting deeper.

Second year of a two year this for diskin I thought 

[OL14.yeds]

Senior back to Huddersfield too, so will miss tomorrow.

[clifford]

I fear a long day a'office

[ChampagneCharlieReturns]

Here we go, I'll end up with egg on my face again now but we will win today won't we ....  

[m brooksy]

I've been very negative and disappointed in our form over the last 6 weeks but i'm still hopeful we'll turn it around. 

COME ON OLDHAM

I'm ever the eternal optimist and I, too, think we will win.

[moorside roughyed]

Come on Oldham! For gods sake. 

[jroyales]

For our sake too!

I'll be there, shouting my support for the ref. explaining were he went wrong again.

[Oldham 1]

With the team as it is with Abram ,Charnock and Hewitt in such key creative roles our only hope of winning for me is if our forwards can get on a roll and barge our way up the field as we have no hope of creating much with our halves I'd be surprised if we get a win today but happy to be wrong 

[saints10coach]

Reflecting on the game, we gave them three long range scores from our poor last tackle plays. We still managed to finish within four points of them, that was a winnable game. I'm afraid we are distinctly lacking throughout the backs. I would exempt Roberts and Hewitt from that statement on todays performance, but the rest do not seem up to championship standard.

[m brooksy]

I'll post a longer comment after when I've calmed down but Diskin has to go. That was appalling.

[shaw llewellyn]

The bottom line is that losing at home to teams like Sheffield (no disrespect intended) will see us relegated.

[LittleboroRoughyed]

Disappointing result today as Sheffield were there for the taking. Overall the performance was much better & we controlled the game for large parts with the forwards dominating. As said above, 3 long range tries off our last tackle plays. Brierly, Roberts, Joy, Kirk all good today. Newcastle a must win game.

Have to agree it's time for a change now before it's to late , the players have to take there share of the blame don't get me wrong. some simply ain't good enough for the championship ,but all the talk before the season started about not thinking of relegation and a comfortable mid table finish was fine but the truth is we are in a relegation battle and I don't think our coach is up to getting us out of it sadly

[moorside roughyed]

It depends on whether the club can afford to get rid of him. He has a contract. Plus who would we get instead? 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

John Duffy?

[LittleboroRoughyed]

You could see in the 1st half what they had been working on in training with more players in motion near their line - Tony Rea's comments must have hit home. If we were to bring in a new coach who is available apart from Duffy?
