Latics and England Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Now we are safe, I thought it was worth seeing if there is anything left to play for on Sunday. Clearly we can still finish above Northampton. A win would also give us more points (and potentially a higher finish) than we got last season which must be a step forward. A clean sheet gives Connor a share of the record If we concede less than 2 we will have had our 2nd best defensive season in this division (clutching at straws a bit now I accept) If we score 9 this won't have been our worst scoring season in this division (Ok, that's going too far) Edited April 24, 2017 by Latics and England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switters Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 We must be close to having the least goals for or against in our matches over a season. Least scored by a long way and third or fourth least conceded. The most boring season in Football League history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If im not mistaken Connor has kept 18 clean sheets 17 in the league and 1 in the checkatrade trophy a clean sheet Saturday and he will equal it ?

We are 10 short of that target. This is the OAFC record, I don't know what the absolute record is but I would imagine we would be there or there abouts for a 46 game season* *Christ, that's depressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in terms of the individual player - but Shez may feel it's more beneficial to not risk any serious injuries with key players and allow some of the lads who haven't played as much to get a game.

If I've shelled out good money to travel down there on a Sunday morning then I'd want to see a proper team on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
