Pepple finally gets a ball to run on to but the keeper gets there first and screws it into touch. From the throw in Bridge is fouled. It is a free kick for us on a dangerous area....... .oncur's clever free kick is netted by GSM!!

Own goal

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

GET IN !!!!!

 

[JCB]

Own goal caused by a really teasing delivery

 

[Ipswhrimp]

Oh we're so negative and poor, blah blah blah

 

[Holy Joe]

Looks an oggie. Pressure from GSM forced defender to play it

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Are we there in good numbers (300+) ?

 

[Barling Magna]

Gubbins takes one for the team as an Oldham striker breaks clear. Yellow card.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Would prefer to see the energy of KAF in midfield and Moncur to 10

2nd half appearance will cause this pedestrian Oldham team some problems, hopefully.

 

[Suomi Shrimper]

You could actually see the moment Gubbins decided not to attempt a tackle and just take out the man instead :D

 

[Holy Joe]

Very agricultural from Gubbins

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Up to 12th

 

[londonblue]

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

Why, what's there at the moment? I don't keeps tabs on the charts these days.

 

[Barling Magna]

Good defence by Crowther to twice prevent Norwood from running in.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

The good news is we are keeping it extremely tight, , and making it very hard for Oldham to have any shots. Somehow we are 1-0 with our first chance The bad news is Collin has probably had more touches than anyone, and his long passes have been woeful. We have to get our midfield to use their brains to find space, so our defenders can pass forward, rather than back to Collin all the time. They are most likely to score if they do, from pressing Collin and the defence.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Clearly hearing away supporters

 

[dbailey3]

Eyes must be deceiving me I thought that was clearly GSM’s goal

 

[Barling Magna]

The Oldham commentators are very complimentary about Maher, mentioning him several times.

 

[LBBlue]

I know we have a couple of key players out injured but this really is poor. Every player with the exception of GSM has regressed since last season.

Miley, Walker and Coker would all be starting as would have Cardwell and Kensdale so I make that 5 out plus Waldron, compared with just 3 weeks ago.
