Re: Oldham

Thanks to the club, John, Jimmy & the team for putting on such a great pre-season menu of friendlies.
You certainly saved the best till last!
Without doubt the best team performance I have witnessed so far, reminded me of our 'nearly' season when we played some superb one-touch football.
I thought the team selection for the first half could not be bettered & we completely dominated a very capable league 1 side.
The defence never put a foot wrong & the new 'trialist' goalkeeper really impressed me, quickly anticipating any danger & snuffing it out.
Oldham upped their game in the second half, but we more than matched them & our overall performance was well worthy of league 1.
To lead twice shows how well we commanded the game.
The most worthy praise always comes from the enemy, so I quote this line overheard from one Oldham fan to his mate after the match;
'They're a good team to play because they like to play proper football'
I rest my case!
