I’ve got to say I hate Oldham! They’re our new Leigh!!! 🤣 Strange team choice unless AC’s got one eye on midweek fixture. Butty has been on fire and Flem looks nowhere near as fit. Lawton should’ve played for Roberts. Richardson not quite firing and our aggressive line speed was none existent, but please… when will we get a break with the referring team? I know you can say more dominant teams get what they deserve but this ref and his myopic linesmen?!?! Fook me that was awful.
Oldham were bigger and faster both in running and thought.........could play them 10 times and maybe win one.Their forwards were just too big and physical for us and they easily won the half back battle as a result. Richardson some good plays...Gilmore ?. Johnson and Foz did well in a beaten pack situation...the rest tried hard but were just outplayed.
Can`t really fault the effort just not good enough
Makes the Doncaster game a real 4 pointer and a must win for a top 5 place
Poor performance, ref was poor but would of still lost anyway. I did say with the new league structure, dont get carried away with easy wins agsinst league 1 sides. Lost to London (fair enough) Barrow, Doncaster and Oldham.
Thinking about it, if Bradford. York and Toulouse hadnt been put in SL and Featherstone and Fax hadnt gone bump I think we would be in 10th place in last seasons Championship. Against genuine Championsip teams we have beaten Oldham away by 6 points and Sheffield at home by 4.

For me personally I think it was the effort the lads put in I just don’t think we turned up from the start Oldham looked like they wanted it more than us, we looked defeated at half time.
Agree dons is now a must win as is all games but today’s result adds more pressure.
Not sure AC got it right with certain team selection. If we don’t beat dons and barrow at home we’re back to square 1.
@threadx with Doncaster they only have 2 days recovery, are part time and have a 2 hour commute to the game after work.
We have 4 days recovery and are at home so that gives us a massive advantage, so im expecting us to win on Wednesday.
@dan1 fingers crossed but a big improvement on defence and attack will be needed to beat them.
Was a bit disappointed with us today really, only got going in the 2nd half when we were behind.
Oldham were more streetwise than us.
Need to beat Doncaster.
Hopefully we can also get Richardson gelling more over the next few weeks.
Refereeing made the margin wider than it should have been but Oldham were more effective than us.
