We will miss Edge, no doubt about that.

However, I would basically go with your team with Taylor as centre with Owens but tweak the subs as I'd select size and power for this game.

Foz, Lawton, McWhirter and Billington on the bench.

Yes, rough on Roberts who has done nothing at all wrong however the big boys get my vote this game. I might even start with Billington instead of Langtree.

And, Yes, I'd leave Bent out of the 17.

@sunny  I am with you 100%. Size matters against the top sides.

Alan has done a great job and we do need size against Oldham but I see why plays Benty because of the ruck speed rule and the game with speed. Benty is a very fit lad and is like a full time fitness person with his job, rather than a desk job part time.

Benty was voted best player last match so will be hard to drop, but what a great headache for Alan and everyone is in this culture working together as a team.

Would like him to play but Have a feeling the gaffer will move Roberts to centre and keep benty in the back row ....be intriguing what he does with Lawton because I'm pretty sure langtree and hall will both come back in 

At a guess or hope .....connell...butt...Roberts..Owens...Ince... Richardson..Gilmore ....Murray.. Johnstone... chapelhow...langtree ...Wilde ...hall ...

Subs ...bent .. billington... McWhirter...fozard ...

Have a feeling Lawton will be 18th 

Might play Taylor at centre and rest Roberts 

Who knows but it's great that we have headaches 

@cumbria-viking 

Amen to that.

I reckon Sunday will be your biggest test for a while, as the 'Yeds are going well. Hopefully the temperature will have dipped a few notches before then!

I've tipped you in the Prediction League, but I don't know if that's a good, or a bad sign for you! 🤣 

Two teams, who due to the farce of the Championship fixtures, won't be playing my mob this term! ☹

Second best to a club that spends a mile more than us. Referee awful, too. Some quite unbelievable calls  

Far too many people were getting carried away after beating utter dross. So far this season we’ve played Oldham twice, London, Barrow & Doncaster and won a single game. 

@viking25 Oldham the better side more aggressive played referee far better than us , awful referee, still need a running stand off !! Gone back to inside balls again, lots of effort just not quite on it tonight

Didn't play well in defence and was poor in attack. 
Ref was crap worst we’ve had both ways. 

Think Alan may have got his tactics wrong oldham had a huge side and we put roberts 2nd row when lawton should have been there IMO.

Thought flem looked rusty and shouldnt have played didnt look fit.
