Maybe because he’s a div 2 striker, and if he played like that every game he wouldn’t have been here has long. Same goes for the rest of them. I think most will agree that Loft shouldn’t be our main striker but there should be a place for him within the squad.
Or maybe he’s putting himself in the shop window.

Great away win.
I so hope I’m wrong and lose my £10.But on a serious note, how can a certain unnamed player be slated by one and all over the last half dozen games, and then turn in a mom performance today?
Possibly because his agent has told him that all interested clubs have moved on to other targets after his recent performances? Need this from him every week especially as Jarvis was invisible.
Missing Perry, Scrimshaw, Beestin & Thompson this was far from our strongest match day squad IMO so well done boys, more of the same please.1 user thanked author for this post.

Motivation for whatever reason?
And playing as a striker in a team with more attacking intent is a lot easier than standing alone upfront chasing hopeless long balls from the back.
Loft’s career to date is 1 goal in 5 games. Let’s hope that Hill can get some players out and bring in 1 or 2 other strikers to continue the improvement over the last few games.

1st half, lacked tempo and intensity which worried me given the ‘six pointer’ nature of the game but 2nd half was actually enjoyable, a more positive outlook to press higher up the pitch and looked to play some decent stuff at times. Bunn and Hippolyte impressive with their work rate and glimpses of quality in possession – once we got our house in order thought Oldham looked distinctly average and rarely troubled, fully expect some more hiccups on the way but signs of hope under Hill. Back it up with 4 points from the Northampton and Carlisle games, then let Hill (not Swann jr) do some business in January and who knows???

Bunn up there as the link man with a Loft that can actually be bothered could give teams a lot of problems at this level.
You hit the nail on the head re Loft / Jarvis but it will take more than just a 45 minute solid performance to win me over ..Loft has to produce more regularly and look like he actually is interested in playing for SUFC or not ..playing to get away to pastures new perhaps ???
Hill certainly has managed to get more out of the same group re fitness levels positions certain players are now playing and ability … Hippolyte being the prime example.
Great win ,,i feared the worst after i saw us go i nowt down early but credit where credit is due the guys turned it round and well done .. out of the bottom 2 which in its self puts pressure on others around us ..more so makes the Carlisle fixture huge…and as previously said things will be a whole lot cleaer come mid January
For now enjoy the festive gift of a long awaited win ..lets hope it boosts confidence and we can push on from this result.1 user thanked author for this post.
I also hope that Loft takes this performance and plays consistently at a level above what we have seen in recent times and improves his goals to games ratio.
I don’t expect Hill to rely on this alone. I hope that he can somehow bring in a couple more strikers, assuming that he can offload some of the no hopers!

The no-hopers that are on two year contracts?

Time for Swann to show he really wants to keep the club in the football league by backing Hill and correcting his mistakes by clearing them out so that others can come in.
No need to reply Alcy, I know what your response will be. We will find out soon enough anyway by the decisions Swann makes in the next few weeks.

Cannot see Swann clearing the EFL loan and backing Hill with a competitive budget whilst we are still a third down on crowds.
Stand to be corrected, but I’m sure he mentioned during the season ticket holders meeting we were expected to lose a £1million this year.

Yep if the Carlisle game calls foul of covid it will be a real bummer, we need to capitalise on the Oldham win particularly against an opponent we can catch and pass in the league with our improved recent form.
