It's good news if Walton tips Oldham but bad news for Oldham.

ITS NOT THE WINNING,ITS THE TAKING APART

When have u seen the macc lad play?

Never seen him in the flesh but have followed all Mac games last season online and he stood out by a mile, probably the reason why Savage got him to sign a longer term contract as he knew he’d be a hot property for higher league clubs.
Only my humble opinion but if you want someone to supply Grigg AND score goals he’d be a good fit.

If we'd signed Norwood and Oldham had got Grigg, I'm sure we'd still have some moaning. We aren't Man City and we haven't got their cash so we can't buy up every decent striker and let them sit in the stands until called upon.

Cook is keeping his powder dry and we still have plenty budget left according to the Sky is Blue podcast. I’m not worried. Let the good times roll. It’s just a shame we will have to compete with Oldham for the title, I was hoping we’d steamroll it this season.

Basically I will wait for what the season brings in reality rather than us all forecasting.

We have more than enough to win this league, there maybe a stumble or two but we haven't got to contend with Wrexham or Notts County this season, and if they were both in this league for the next ten seasons they wouldn't amass the points they did, it was a freak.
I'm really looking forward to Saturday and Town winning and Grigg opening his account.

Norwood is the best signing of the window in the National League imo. Oldham will be top three.

Still think we'll be top one, however 🙂

I think you'll find the best signing in the national league so far is actually Naylor.

Not sure why Norwood is the next best thing after Haaland, but Grigg isn't fit to lace Quigley's boots.

Grigg's league career stats are 149 goals in 503 games, a goal every 195 minutes.
Norwood's are 77 in 206, a goal every 175.

Last season it was 7 in 48, one every 270 minutes vs 11 in 49, one every 242 minutes.
And one played for a side who finished 4th, the other for a side who finished 4th bottom.

Oh and Norwood is a year older, and has played the equivalent of 77 more games over his club career, clearly a has-been ready for the knackers yard if we'd signed him

If these two sign it’s the final pieces in the jigsaw for me 😊💙

Which two?

And everyone on here would be creaming over the arrival of Norwood - and rightly so. If he stays fit he will score 25+ for Oldham next season.

Apparently not everyone looking at some of the more thoughtful posts but definitely the usual suspects

Accentuate th Positive, eliminate the negative

Hard to argue between those two for the best two that’s for sure. Coin flip on paper who you think is better.

As I’ve said on another post though I still prefer our squad all round and still am very hopeful of us finishing top one.
