Kingsmeadow is without doubt the smelliest ground i've been in.
For me it was Slough Town, we had a friendly there many years ago, the fairly close proximity to the shit farm did it no favours.

Just landed in Oldham after a sojourn in Shaw.
There might have to be a delay in kick off to allow for some additional refreshment to be taken on board.

Could be struggling for the bus fare back to Manc Central, so might have to be a case of "doing as in Rome" and approaching the locals and asking kindly. They don't look particularly amenable.  Sad

Only 6 subs and Doughty starts in place of the injured Carroll. Must mean an injury to Taylor.

What has happened to Smith?

why only 6 subs?

surely putting a youngster would be worthwhile, unless they didn't travel

Only 6 subs? Didn’t think we had many injuries. Surely there’s a youth teamer to warm the bench.

Glad to see Doughty back.

Lancashire and Toums training on the pitch but not picked for the bench, interesting.

Could be some of that as they have had a couple of days in Burnley using their trianing ground, but why not pick Toums or Lancashire even if not fully fit to at least make the number up.

Have to have at least 1 home grown player on the bench, if not 6 subs.

Wanted to see Rose and Doughty together as this could be the first choice engine room for next season.

Hopefully two left footers won't be problem, or could Bennett drop in alongside Rose?
Line up looks very positive.
In general, not sure there is a need for two "holding" midfielders at this level.
Have to follow the fads from further up the food chain I guess.

Doughty and Rose could be awesome but as you say less balance with both being very left footed.

I still hope that Toums will come good and would naturally fill in the defensive role that Carroll currently fills with some great and some poor performances. I have a feeling Toums isn't going to fit.

Ah the substitution thing is because of there being no homegrown players in the squad, which the rules are there has to be 1...filled by Bancroft, Henry etc lately. Why one youth teamer didn't travel today though I don't understand.

Oldham unchanged for the 4th game in a row having won each game 2-0 with this line up.

Ex Town targets O'Grady and Lang up front for them and ex Town loanee Giles Coke on the bench for them.

Looks like they need to turn the floodlights on at Oldham.
