[Mark]

Really happy to have signed Abram, looks like the end for GMo though 

[Mark]

Will Hope added

[Mark]

And Mike Butt, huge signing 

[wayne_r]

I see Martin Ridyard has joined Oldham - I hope it works out for him, I guess he has gone because Stuart Littler is the new Oldham coach, means of course we need to recruit half backs - does anyone know if Jack Hansen has / will resign ?

[jroyales]

I can't understand why you have signed so many Oldham players. On the two occasions we played you, you were by far the better side. The players you have taken on board did absolutely nothing last season, just let the club and spectators down.

I just hope they prove me wrong next season - I wouldn't hold your breath!

[wayne_r]

I guess our coach must see potential in the players - we will found out once the season starts - its good to have something to talk about and ponder

[Mark]

Louis brogan, good re-signing that. Looked good last year in a beaten team 

[wayne_r]

Also even  though Louis  played as prop forward he has tremendous pace

Yes I remember him tracking down Keiron Dixon when he was in the clear.

[Mark]

Mitch Cox signed, thought he was really solid last year 

[Mark]

Jordan Case ex Rochdale plus Ben Hayes and surprisingly Nick Gregson added 

[Mark]

Liam Forsyth announced tonight 

[clwydianrange]

I see that Pail Nash has signed for us - Crusaders. I’d appreciate a run down on him please.

[Mark]

I thought he looked good, fast around dummy half. probably needs to beef up a bit for his tackling. Not given a fair chacne, good signing for you 

[clwydianrange]

Thanks for that Mark. I look forward to watching him next year

[wayne_r]

yes I would agree with Mark - he did look sharp around the play the ball and didn't get enough match time, I am sure he will do well for you

[RIGGY]

Hi Mark

 

Don't forget Billy Brickhill

[Mark]

Look a bit short on backs, half backs certainly 

[wayne_r]

Really, pleased that Jack Hansen is staying at the club, although he was already on a two year deal, but he could have left with a transfer fee........so only one more spot open in the squad - anyone any suggestions ?

[Jimmy DoNut]

If you guys don't run away with League 1 next year with the squad you are assembling, there is something very wrong - Oldham fan!

I agree,especially as to me Cox is a second rower and Lloyd a better forward than centre.

I wonder if Alan Coleman is planning to play Max Roberts at centre ?

[wayne_r]

Well I think Lloyd is much better as a 2nd rower than a centre, he has done a great job for the team but for me he should be in the pack - I do agree Cox did play well when he played in 2nd row last season..............

[Mark]

Be an interesting team that’s picked first game
