Quite right, donnyhkr. Although Oldham are one of our closest rivals in this division, it was hardly a derby game. I must admit there did seem to be more folk there than for Rochdale. Maybe we were just spread out more thinly? First time I've had to queue for a ticket so far this season too. Puzzling.As to the game, was far more satisfied with our defensive performance, especially in the first half, against a resilient Oldham team. Their 4th and last try was just an outrageous piece of good luck. All the other 3 were scored out wide, only one of these down the left hand side and that from a high cross kick from young Holroyd.
....and yet another 40 point haul, a cast-iron certainty we have never done that in 5 consecutive home games before.
As for their no.7, he was lucky to stay on the pitch. Notwithstanding the Waterman tackle, he had cut a tormented figure throughout. Presented Cowling with his try, dropped the ball on numerous occasions, kicked the ball away early on in a hissy fit. His dummying was so good, even his own teammates bought them
A good day at the office. Fortress Keepmoat.
