oafc1955 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I’m hearing Hope has had his contract renewed…can anybody confirm this ? If true then I’m afraid It’s Unsworth out for me. If this is the standard of player he’ll be signing and thinks will be good enough to get us promoted out of this division he is sadly wrong!! I have seen more than enough of Hallam Hope thank you very much….please someone tell me it’s bollocks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Useful squad player. Giving him a contract doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be club captain and starting striker every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hope was doing OK before that Chesterfield game and he scored a good goal at York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 If we are going to use the logic on here that Nuttall as of yet hasn't produced because of the piss poor service then we should at least afford Hope the same luxury given the absolute frauds he was turning out with prior to his injury, he had goals in him and was versatile in the number of roles he could play, much better option than several strikers we currently have on the books and a decent squad player at this level, Nuttall, Reid and Hope plus one other gives us options particularly if we add one quality addition to that. Fondop shouldn't play for the club again, Sambou, Abraham and Luamba are not good enough, I also think it's time for Forshaw to be given a run out, if nothing else to enhance his value and reward his progression, that pathway needs to exist and fans want to see these players coming through and given a run out, it creates a buzz around the place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 I just thought he tried the hardest. Absolutely!!….the one thing you can’t say is that he lacks effort because he always gives 100%, however, I think he’s a really poor footballer who rarely makes any sort of forward pass. Perhaps he looks half decent because of the absolute garbage around him….. IMO he’s a squad player at best who I’d rather replace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Hallam Hope is absolutely shit. I’m sorry. He gets the ball on the wing and either gets tackled or turns backwards. He’s not a winger, he’s not a striker and he’s not a 10. I have no clue how he’s managed the career he has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any friends ? It's just you're a bit overcritical on quite a few of our players in my opinion. I'm not a Hope fan but as a previous poster said he does at least look as if he cares even though we definitely need better to gain promotion or play-offs. I'd keep him as a squad player until we employ someone better. .....and no I don't have many friends....but that's my choice !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of our squad I think, Norman, Kitching, Yarney, Sutton (at CB), Green, Tollitt, Rooney, Reid and Nuttall are the ones that any good for next year. - Think that’s about the same as most. Watch Hope closely, he receives the ball on the wing and turns back on himself 9/10. Compare that to Tollitt and Green who actually run at the full back, it’s night and day. He is not a striker either, so I just don’t see what he offers. He runs, a bit. So certain Oldham fans typically like him. Just like Sheron and Shelton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit like most of our players who look for the easy ball backwards instead of a more positive approach. I'm still not sure whether it's the coaching or mindset that's at fault. I'd agree to your list of "keepers" but add Sheron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
