Joe we fluked it today.
Yes Norwood should have scored a couple but they should have scored 4 or 5 if I'm honest.
What kept the ball out of our net at the end of the first half god only knows.....
granted my view was terrible but I don’t think they created too many clear cut chances. Lots of balls into our box but in the main we dealt with everything they threw at us.

All that proves is that short term stats prove very little
Let’s hope so.

No, that's not right. We didn't allow them much on Saturday - we didn't allow Newport that much the week before. Dagenham and Redbridge - Thompson's last game - we gave them half a dozen chances to win it and were grateful for a point in the end.
I was going off goals conceded.
I could be wrong but we conceded 4 in 7 under Tommo?
9 in 4 under Mellon.
-
One other key point is that Tommo had us tight at the back. Mellon hasn’t thus far. That’s just a fact. Looking forward to seeing how we improve on that front. Saturday despite the result was a step in the right direction performance wise.
-
I agree with @JoeP on his comments on Norwood. I actually thought Norwood had one of his better games too yesterday. He looks a better player when he tries to lay things off first time rather than having a touch. Special mention to Kurt who had a good cameo, hopefully gets some more game time.

He chased down more than anyone last night. He won fuck all granted and I'll concede that he's a bit of a smacked arse when it's not going his way but he's not the type of striker to be beating 6ft+ centre halves to a ball lumped forward, and that is literally ALL he had to feed off last night.
Don’t disagree that he was feeding off scraps. But make something with those scraps! I counted 4 occasions in the first half where his first touch let him down.
That said he’d still be in my first choice pairing up front.

Zero service.... Simples...
There’s more to it than that Gaz and I think it’s lazy argument to just say it’s service. Good players can also create things for themselves. He has shown in glimpses his quality but nowhere near enough. Even when he’s on an on off day, I expect 100% commitment and we don’t get anywhere near that.

The problem isn’t Norwood, it’s the midfield, obviously.
Why anyone would question a striker that has continually scored goals is beyond me.
It’s quite straight forward why he is being questioned. Far too many times this season he hasn’t put anywhere near enough effort in. Last night was the prime example. He can hold it up and give defenders a hard time, such as the Alty and Dale games. He needs to do that every time he steps out onto the pitch.

It's not a case of just being into football violence for some people, it's a matter of not taking shit. Yesterday a couple of Oldham fans were getting beaten and some people thought fuck that, and ran over and backed them up. Hence why I think it was preventable and down to poor policing.
Obviously you think differently. I'm just glad I'm not in the trenches with you and a few others on here.
Bang on.

It was our lot.
When we scored the fourth, about 4 lads jumped up from the home end and ran onto the pitch. Which understandably the Dale fans didn’t like, and it kicked off. Then our lot ran over from our end to get involved.
Stupid and pathetic.
You’re not wrong but I saw it slightly differently.
Two Oldham fans, one in a yellow jacket and a kid maybe about 15 were getting beat up and a load of our lot ran over to jump in. Do you could arguing they were helping our fans in their hour of need. That said they probably didn’t need much encouragement.

If the reports are true he wants everyone running their bollocks off.
My hunch is Green, Reid and Nuttall will struggle under him because they all don’t work hard enough/drift in and out of games.
Time will tell.
First time this season where Nuttall wasn’t involved? Rightly so he’s nowhere near up for it enough.

Mastersroke by Muzza to play Mcgahey at DCM. I like everyone else thought it was insane.
It allowed Hogan ( my MOM again) to carry the ball forward and drive us into midfield.
Special mention to Norwood who I’ve been critical off. Ran his bollocks off and held it well second half.

I don’t get why Raglan (who has looked ordinary) continues to be picked by some ahead of Hogan?
Hogan has been top drawer since ST took over imho
Bang on. We talk about lack of leaders on the pitch so the last thing we need is to stop Hogan. Him and Hobson have had so much to deal with and dealt with it well. Throwing themselves in front of shots and defending their box really. Hogan’s been excellent since ST came in.

Tickets seem like gold dust. I’m after one under 16’s and not seen any spares anywhere. Hoping some will pop up as the game approaches.
-
Still needing a Dale ticket if anyone can help please!
-
Thanks for the heads up. Secured 6 tickets. Any ideas on allocation?
-
I’ve seen a lot of fans asking for Hogan to be dropped. He was excellent tonight and one of a few unlucky not to be MOM.

Seriously? Grigg missed an absolute sitter at the end of a move where they carved us open. Should have been 2-0 and game over.
It was actually a brilliant tackle by Raglan.

Rode our luck, got a point at a place many won't
Break out the X.O
Don’t remember conceding too many chances? Don’t get me wrong I’m not happy with Nuttall at RWB but hopefully that’s gets us going.

The truth as ever lies somewhere in the middle. It was an extremely pragmatic approach to a game of football that in the end worked.

opinions are like arse holes and yours is covered in shit. your opinion, not sure about your arse.
there was literally no need to buy a ticket but over 500 did anyway and that somehow translates in your head as 'no demand' how much thought did you actually give that?
what the actual fuck is wrong with people's heads??? our species is not going to make it.
I don’t really know what any of that means! Doesn’t sound very pleasant though.

I’m not sure there’s loads more demand than the 660 we’ve got. They’d all be gone now if so. A lot will have been put off by the uncertainty and made other plans.
-
The thing with Nuttall for me is that he doesn’t really look up for it. Maybe that’s his style? I often hear Latics fans slagging players off for just running around a lot. That’s actually a really important attribute! Down to Unsworth to get the best out of him, as there’s a talented lad in there somewhere.
