Team For Oldham

Recommended Posts

Cotts press comments make it seem likely we will keep same formation.

 

Personally I'd like to see Osborne in the back 3, with Ayling at RWB. Little has been poor last two matches - failing that could give Wagstaff a go at RWB. Joe Bryan has been off form the last two games as well, so maybe time to give Cunningham the place back at LWB.  

 

Otherwise I'd leave team as it is, BUT Cotts has got to bring JET on with more time to play if things are not going well...

 

... as for the game, I'm pessimistic with the LJ factor and all... can see an Oldham win, but hope I'm wrong.

Unchanged team.

 

Totally agree with this.

 

Given the players have had a week off, I don't see the argument for changing a team that hasn't lost for 15 matches.

 

For starters, Mark Little has been outstanding on the whole and doesn't need to be dropped after two iffy matches.

 

All that said, I'd like to see us show a bit more willing to tweak things during the 90 minutes if we're below par again. But I said that two weeks ago and we've since thrown away leads to draw the last two, so I'm not holding my breath.

I would have suggested to rest little and Bryan for Cunningham and waggy, but our style of play is an unknown quantity to Oldham so far this season and although they could watch videos, they will not truly be ready for little beasting down the wing or freemans dazzling runs. We just need to stick and play to our strengths. Get the early goals and finish them off. COYR

On the flip side to that, we keep the ball very well for a league one side and have players comfortable on the ball. Im not saying we are Bayern Munich, but there will be some periods that you won't have the ball. I wonder if frustration could creep in, with your fans and players if (and it is an if) we dictate the play early on.

Promises to be a great game

Keep the largely unchanged team that has served us so well BUT; please be more willing to use substitutes earlier. It's the squad that wins games not the "team". Recent games have seen more tired legs even in the early part of the 2nd half. This is the period of the game when we have leaked goals with consequent loss of points. Use the whole squad (except perhaps the GK who doesn't normally get tired)

I'd tweak the formation and personell slightly.

. fielding

Little ayling flint Williams

. smith

. pack. Elliot

. jet. freeman

. agard

Imo this team would offer us enough in attack whilst also making us more robust at the back. I know were unbeaten but I think we have gone off the boil of late, and leaked far too many goals!

Any changes will be because of tactical reasons or someone playing poorly recently, not fitness reasons as they've had week off.

That said I don't envisage any changes and don't think we need any currently, unbeaten all year so no players deserve to be dropped despite players like JET and Pack being good from bench.
