Patrik Farkas has gone on loan to Prescot Cables until January. Hopefully he will get some game time in the NPL which is the lowest level we should be sending loanees to in my opinion.

Starts this weekend for

O'Riordan - lost 4-0 - played the full game - Connor O'Riordan 4 - Shaky showing. Back in the side but perhaps ring-rust contributed to his loose, early pass which Ballard gobbled up before firing home. Didn't get a great deal better thereafter

Edmondson - won 1-0 - subbed off on 83 minutes whilst 1-0 up

Wood - won 4-3 - played the full game & scored the 3rd

 

On the bench

Olson - drew 0-0 - remained on the bench throughout

Barrett - lost 2-0 - remained on the bench throughout

Pratt - drew 3-3 - came on at half time with Chorley 2-0 down

Farkas - drew 1-1 - remained on the bench throughout

 

Not involved in matchday squad

O'Grady-Macken - drew 0-0

 

No game this weekend

Duru

I don’t know wether you read “ The Guardian “ but in today’s edition there’s a very interesting article regarding youth football, U-21’s, loans etc etc.

Patrik Farkas has had 13 minutes game time in the three games Prescot Cables have played since he went there.

In my view another totally pointless loan which will do absolutely nothing for his development.

17 minutes (+ injury time) from this weekend's game,  and I think he has only been available for 2 games after signing on the 10th Oct,

Although that doesn't make your overall point any less true

Olson has gone from regular starter for Altrincham last season with good reviews to hardly getting a game at Oldham. Needs recalling in January and placing elsewhere suspect Altrincham would be delighted to have him back in view of their poor start.

Probably the case, although one of Oldhams centre backs was sent off this weekend, which may open up an opportunity for him

If he doesn't feature this coming weekend, he probably never will

Starts this weekend for

O'Riordan - drew 1-1 - played the full game

Edmondson - won 1-0 - played the full game

Wood - won 2-1 - scored the opening goal before being replaced after 86 minutes with the score at 2-1

 

On the bench

Barrett - drew 1-1 - remained on the bench throughout

Pratt - lost 2-0 - subbed on after 42 minutes with Chorley down to 10 at 0-0

Farkas - won 2-1 - very little info on this one, no idea if he got any minutes

 

Not involved in matchday squad

Olson & O'Grady-Macken - drew 2-2 - Olson not included even on the bench despite Oldham missing one of their first choice centre backs via a suspension, & O'Grady-Macken is yet to even be named on the bench, although a report here that he may be injured, both utterly pointless loans

Duru - won 2-1 - not sure if this is common knowledge but the MLS play off rounds (or at least this round) work in a "best of 3 series" format rather than using aggregate score, interesting, but strange.  This result means San Diego are 1-0 up v Portland.  Strange competition rules aside, I am hoping that his lack of game time means a return to Rovers in January, where given our budget, he in theory could in time be a useful back up to Alebiosu

 

There are 2 midweek games, both on Tuesday, but based on their previous appearances, both seem unlikely to feature our players as any more than subs

Barrett - score/update

Farkas - score/update

Our Loan Manager is really earning his coin, some cracking loans there(!)

Bizarrely, I'm not sure it's even his job to find the loans for the players. More just to look after them, whilst they are away.

George Pratt was a 42nd minute substitute for Chorley after they were reduced to ten men.

Thanks, I missed that one, amended my post from the weekend
