Dewsbury are likely to bring in several DR players from Wakefield for our game on Sunday. This is due to them suffering an injury crisis with around thirteen players only fit to play.

They did that for the first game and took a hiding

Re: Oldham and Dewsbury : Tue Feb 21, 2017 8:33 pm  

Maybe they could just put out the Hemel squad

Going up to Dewsbury on Sunday, it will be my first away game for a few years so lets hope for a good result and the train being ontime....

If you haven't been to Dewsbury by train before either get a taxi or allow longer to walk than you expect to need. Nice and hilly. Cracking station refreshment rooms if you are waiting for a train.

See you there Roger. Should be a few of us up there. Do not know of any others travelling up by train though.

Dewsbury seem to have an injury crisis http://www.dewsburyreporter.co.uk/sport/more-sport/injuries-mount-as-rams-face-london-1-8404371 Hope we can be ruthless for this one and put our points difference well into the positive (-1 at the moment).

Will be cycling from Mirfield station (direct train from Kings, Grand Central trains), its about 8 miles. Afterwards I'm taking 2 days to cycle along the Leeds/Liverpool canal to Wigan and train back to London. Been to Wigan loads of times but never had a look at the town (same with Leeds). Lets hope for no snow.

I am concerned about the state of the pitch on Sunday. I hope we can slog it out. We performed badly last year in the pre season friendly, when it was just a sea of mud.
But we do need to put some points on the board. Lets get our points difference into positive territory.

Hopefully the players will have learnt from last week's game at Oldham and will play accordingly at Dewsbury.
If conditions are bad then they will act as a leveller, would be nice to rack up a big score but the main thing is to get the two points.
