Has any Wanderer money been invested?

Based on the above the bookies seem to think both teams are of equal standing - just the home advantage of 4 points making the difference.

This is probably a vital game because should Oldham win, we'd probably have to win at their place to get back on a level footing with them. If we can win, the pressure will shift the other way.

I really don't know which way today will go...

A tough game to call.

Bet365 are also offering a 2-Way Betting market (ruling out a Handicap Draw) with the Handicap being Oldham +6.5. Purely from a punting point of view, that looks to be where the value is.

Good win is that, well done lads but reading the various bits and bobs we have some improvement in us, does anyone agree with that?

The forwards were very good and laid the platform. We defended well for the most part but we look vulnerable when the opponents are able to play the ball more quickly. Our discipline was good and our error rate low.

Connor Robinson's kicking game really penned Oldham back, making them regularly start from near their line. If we'd not done that, we'd have been under even more pressure than we were.

Had Iain Thornley not dropped the ball as he tried to ground it just before half-time, things could have been even more tense.

It was a very enjoyable game to watch between two evenly matched teams. I believe the crowd was over 1300.

We could have done without Workington coming back to win 29-28 at Rochdale.

Do we have more improvement in us? I'm not sure. I think we probably played at or near to to our maximum potential today. We'll remain vulnerable to teams with a bit of size and pace, or when teams get quick play-the balls. The players seem like a good bunch who want to give everything and play for each other and that counts for a lot.

Thanks DM for your thoughts. We can only hope that we can just keep on winning.
