Gutted about Wilky as he would have been sensational behind this pack but Baker was very poor. Can't believe the praise for him from others on this board. Cameron tried hard and was very aggressive in defence but made very little impression with the ball. I see Paga as no.14 next season. I agree it definitely didn't work when he went to hooker at the end of the season but I think behind a dominant back he would be unstoppable from dummy half and would be great cover if we get any injuries in the backs. Astley at full back for me with Craven and Ellis in the halves. Delighted about Moran. He was excellent in almost every game. Could easily see him as Captain next year. Johnson fullback for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron will benefit greatly with game time. Hes one to keep an eye on. Pat Moran great signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggle to see where Paga gets in with craven Ellis and astley. Be a good back up player. totally agree regarding Wilky, would of loved to see him play with next years squad certainly deserves it with his performances for the club over the years. Regarding Baker I feel with a half back of the quality of craven instead of Paga he could be utilised a lot better and a solid defender. We will certainly have a very strong squad next year which I am excited about, I feel we will walk the league if it stays as League one. But would have liked to have seen how a few of last years squad would have gone with better tools around them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyed Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Craven and Ellis will not play week on week. You only need look at how many games they each managed last season! Paga will get plenty of game time and his versatility will be key 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 1 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn’t seem right, why would we wait till now to announce Wilkinson and baker leaving ? There’s no way Baker is moving to London. I personally would have kept them both, I know current new board members on here will disagree but people who have watched this club over the years know both players had something to offer under the new regime.

Roughyedz Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Its all very well and good , who will be playing for Oldham in 2024, but there is NO Division 1 now , not enough teams to make a season, income etc etc etc unless the Championship is merged with 1st Division that is ?? Ive not heard anything about a 7 team League 1 ?, it would be a laughing stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
