League one forever Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Nice to see the usual pre season optimism. But let’s have it right, If this team finish top half it’s a great season for the complete lack of quality we’ve got. I expect between 17th - 12th.

Frankies6 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I reckon as high up as 12th or as low as 15th this season , start well but fall away due to paper thin squad , hope I'm wrong and we go up as champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a text from someone who saw the game and said we performed utterly awful and the back 4 was all over. He’s not an oldham fan but was under the impression it was our first team.

We don’t play with a back 4 so he’s talking Bollocks Unless KC was looking to teach BP a lesson in pre Christ vs 21st century tactics of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott2 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Surely the last friendly before the season is when the big hitters should be playing 90 minutes or as close to as possible. Why do we still have so many trialists; either sign them or get rid! I know it's only a friendly but quite a few things there don't make sense to me...

I agree with LS, rather than experimenting with a team full of trialists we should have a potential starting eleven at this stage of proceedings! With no reserve games or friendlies played during the season Curle, as per usual, only has training to check out the form and ability of his players. I still can’t get my head around the fact that we don’t compete in a reserve league….how fringe players can be thrown in at any given time and be expected to be ‘match fit’ and produce the goods on demand is just crazy!!

Majority of the triallists seem to be very low budget options - wonder if a bit more money appears for some foreign signings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
