Joey Oldham has enjoyed another excellent month between the sticks for The Millers. His side boast the best defensive record in the league and the relationship he has built with his defence has been absolutely crucial in The Millers good start to the campaign.

In the FA Vase tie at higher ranked Golcar United, The Millers progressing on penalties after a 2-2 draw, the home side had a kick to win the game but Oldham made a fine save to take the match into sudden death. He produced a magnificent flying save to send his side through, recordings of the save being viewed over 10’000 times on social media.

He has been in fine form in the league too, there is a feeling that The Millers are still not playing as well as they can and he has been called into action on many occasions to ensure his team have taken points. It is not just his shot stopping ability that makes him a fine goalkeeper, he commands his area with the authority of a player many years older than his 21 years, while his distribution is first class. An excellent month for The Millers and an excellent month for Joey Oldham.

Well Done Joey
