At the risk of sounding pedantic, Oldham are 2nd and Fev are 4th.

Seriously though, may the best team win.

I enjoyed the game shame Oldham couldnt have won.

Anyone else think Two Bobs could have done a job for us this season.

He had a decent game did Two Bobs, but he had a couple of spells on the sidelines and I'm not sure if his fitness would cope with the intensity of our league this year. Think Oldham's back line is at least comparable to ours though, if not better.

Can't disagree there at all - TB's got a decent squad together at Oldham including a fair few ex-leythers that can still produce. 2-bobs played well in spells, Goulden is a grafter (not strictly an ex-leyther I know but one that got away) Halliwell on his day is more than capable, and Greenwood is a quality winger for any side that are capable of getting the ball out to him (but too much of a luxury for us).

Of the others Phil Joseph can be very influential & was on my wish-list for signings a couple of years ago, and IMHO Paul Reilly is an inspired signing for any NL (1 or 2) club - hard as nails. The footage of him sat on the sidelines sorting out his broken nose wasn't for the squeamish, thats for sure...
