Official Match Thread Oldham Athletic vs Southend United

[Holy Joe]

Oldham player down

 

[JCB]

That was Taylor's fault.

I think we’re agreeing here mate!

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

What's Gubbins' role exactly?

 

[overseas shrimper]

Unpopular opinion, but I think we need a new Number 1

Ok, I'll humour you. Why?

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Dangerous Charsley goes off

 

[Suomi Shrimper]

Oldham players going to ground very easily, and ref seems to be particularly fussy - not a good combination...

 

[thenobster]

Injured

Ta.. and, bugger

 

[Barling Magna]

Free kick for Oldham in a dangerous place...... passes harmlessly over everyone.

 

[Yer Blues]

Ok, I'll humour you. Why?

Don't feel the need to humour me, I'd prefer an older head in goal. Im not impressed with his distribution. I don't think he inspires confidence in the defenders and i feel he's always got a mistake in him. He's young and will improve of course, but I don't think he's number one material yet.

Just my opinion of course, prefaced by saying it'd be unpopular.

As I type this, the BBC describe his recent clearance as a shank.

 

[Pak Power]

we havent had an attack yet

Defenders seem have confidence enough to pass back to him. Probably has most touches so far in this game

Every keeper at this level has mistakes in them

Neither have Oldham really.

Cool.

I can see where you’re coming from, he’s a great shot stopper, but some of his distribution hasn’t been great today.

Personally i’d stick with him, and expect a bit less from his distribution.

like most of our games at the moment - early days though

It looks it too!

 

[stewart]

sounds like a dull old game , bridge should never be a number 10 ,tayor should be a CD SQUARE PEGS IN ROUND HOLES SORRY WE HAVE ANOTHER rb his names WIND why not give the lad a run
as for number 10 i would rather the new signing have a go there before Bridge.
Or even Moncur

agreed - but I’d take a point now if offered.

Let’s conserve energy for the two home games
