Another great match.
Where did all that noise come from? Who woke up the South West stand? A great atmosphere maybe evn louder than the Col U match. And the drummer made me laugh.
Got the beach ball out again in the second half.
Nice moment, Lawson spotting the fan with his name on his shirt after scoring, a huge grin on his face. His goal was well taken (his height causes problems in the box), and his alround game was superb, he run past defenders with the ball, cross, and with a bit of confidence the goal gave him could do well. Deserved his standing ovation.
The Oldham substitutes did for us in the second half, we got a bit complacent and found it hard to just clear it.
I was also there the day Adam Barrett had a bad game for us, another surging run up field leaving us weak at the back, a good couple of passes to the opposition, and nearly a headed own goal. He seems unsure of himself and I hope he returns to form soon. And who was there when Barrett lost the ball, Maher. Bloody superb. Barrett and Guttridge collide, who tidies up the defence. He was everywhere, spreading the ball wide to set up another attack.
Most important thing to come from this match is how much we belong in this division. We've only been narrowly beaten, we've lost our star striker and yet are playing fantastically, some of the passing and crossing is superb.
The ref was good and got (most of) his decisions right.
Plus I also can say I saw Spinner play upfront.
We could have scored more (eagle's carbon copy of Lawson's goal except well saved, Gower's cross come shot, Goaters bullet header which riccocheted out), but we have to be happy with that performance.
