Beat Swinton that's only 2 wins and it's squeeky b.Um time We need 1 win from somewhere before we play Oldham last game I don't wanna be going into that game requiring a win to stay up We are not mentally tough enough to deal with that pressure, we paniced against Swinton and showed we've no metal for an intense fight,description would be soft and roll over too easy Edited August 3, 2021 by coolie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy DoNut Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 As an Oldham fan, you should be aware our performances have been excellent in the last 2 games, very unlucky to lose at Whitehaven & to London Broncos on Sunday. I feel a win is just around the corner, we desperately need to beat Swinton this Sunday though. If we lose, its probably curtains but if we win & you lose at Whitehaven, it's game on! You're favourites to stay up obviously with 5 points more than us, but it could just get interesting. I'd love to come to your place on the final day just a point behind you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the heart to keep a lead against anyone so we definitely won't have the heart to go in to the Oldham game having to beat them to survive.

Keep The Faith Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I can’t see you picking form up on the road but your home form has to pick up to stay among the championship all depends if that win picks swinton off the canvas for the battle 1 http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

Wakefield Ram Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 We've just got to hope Swinton are buoyed by our total collapse on Sunday and beat Oldham. If Swinton win we should be safe. Realistically unless we get the likes of Oakes, Ryder and Walton back, Oldham at home is the only prospect of a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially knowing that Swinton have beat us last Sunday and they would then have another roll of the dice against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the best option is for the Championship to be one division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get relegated because your one of the bottom 2 team.. And deservedly so. Where we are is a true reflection on how we've played this season, honestly speaking I don't think we've another victory in us, like to think the players will prove me wrong, our style of play is lacking teeth or a cutting edge, second half's producing no points is very worrying.. We are definitely on a slide, a victory for Oldham Sunday will give them massive momentum In rugby league you get what you deserve.... And if its West Wales & Coventry We've deserved the drop That's if restructuring doesn't save our backsides Edited August 4, 2021 by coolie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 We will not win at Whitehaven and will anyone bother to go there and watch more of the same? One daft fact from Sunday’s debacle is that our weak right side didn’t concede a try! 1 Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelmes and Reilly have both been great for Oldham this year, but Reilly especially. I think he'll be our Player of the Year, so it surprises me that they would want to return to Dewsbury.
