Hopefully Cameron and Slater are back in for this , but wouldn't be surprised if Cameron , Slater , Blagbrough and Hartley miss out . 
Forber and Wilky are too similar , yes we needed a half on loan to cover Paga but Tyrer lacks experience , thought we could have got someone else but don't know who is available . Last time Tyrer played for us he knocked himself out in the first half and Slater had to play half , which he covered well , but left Wilky to play the 80 minutes . 
If Cameron and Slater keep missing out you've got to wonder about this " I want Oldham shirts worn in Oldham and Oldham lads wanting to play for Oldham " is that all talk especially if Wigan lads are coming in at the expense of Oldham lads .

Personally, I think we’ve managed DR well this season. We’ve hardly used it at the expense of our lads and players like slater have had plenty of game time. Cameron’s mostly been serving bans! Hes probably played half the games he’s been available for.

the club needs promotion this season. Pointless being idealistic 

[herbie]

Must he hard picking a team. Changed my mind about 3 times already since i picked mine! 

I always feel for the lads left out.

Got to agree with this team 

[Anita Bath]

Come on you Yeds. Turn ‘em over big time, rough ‘em up summat proper and get several ov em sent off. The nets are up there next week and we still have a chance of catching them….if we can beat Chester Crusaders on Sunday.

Worried about this one. So many changes will have unsettled what was an attacking and confident side. I just hope I am wrong.

A decision will be made about whether the game goes ahead at 4pm. Workington are currently stuck in traffic and we will keep fans updated.

Car fire on motorway according to M E N.Probs be a while clearing it.

What’s the ruling re a team not turning up? Is the game forfeited; postponed and replayed? Anyone know?

During COVID wasn't it a 48 point win? However, I think they'll come to some arrangement if it doesn't go ahead today.

Was on my way to a quick job in Manchester then to the game.Set off from Poulton le Fylde 9.45 .Still on M55 at 15.15. I heard big accident j31.Had a feeling Workington might get stuck.

Both clubs will be gutted the game was called off, Town will suffer financially because of travel costs and paying wages for a non game. I also feel sorry for our fans who were travelling in good numbers. At the end of the day it was an horrific accident by all accounts and more than likely people were injured or worse. We missed out on a game that will be eventually played, we should all put things in perspective. Hoping the game isn’t midweek so we can still fetch a good following down.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Hope that any and everyone involved in the accident are ok and particularly that everyone associated with the Workington club is safe and ok. A very interesting set of results in the division today with Crusaders beating Rochdale, Hunslet beating Doncaster and Midlands getting within 5 points of Dewsbury.

Got off M55 at 17.45.Heading home up a6 and back roads.A6 southbound  still gridlocked @ 18.00 probably back to Lancaster and beyond.M6 must be totally shut.

I'll be there with my lads, who haven't been for a while. Trying to get my mates, regulars at sheddings, to come. Really looking forward to it.

The match is mentioned on the Oldham Athletic website, which is encouraging.

Workington had a weekend off whilst we were struggling against Hornets. I fear we will run out of steam towards the end of the game. Win or lose it won't affect our league position, it's just a shame if we lose it will be at Boundary Park.

Listening to Dearden and Fordy on the radio the point made is valid about number of games played over the past couple of months taking the edge off our game. Let's hope the edge comes back for the rest of the season. I see both Hunslet and Doncaster both had good training sessions in their games scoring lots of points.

It looks like we have seen the last of Carr who went off with a head injury and McNally has been struggling for several games and I'm sure won't be available against Workington.

Paga has to play at number 7 so letting Slater and Wilkinson to do what they do best.

Carr didnt go off with a head injury, Hurst did.

Last of Carr? What are you on about  It will be a completely different game and performance. Suspect Rawsthorne moves to full back (he could be deadly returning the ball from there) and Ah Van back on the wing.
