I was expecting an awful game having heard of stevenage's reputation but they were in my opinion an absolute disgrace. Is this the way that the 'modern'game is now played? constant fouls,shirt tugging,holding,pushing slowing the play CONSTANTLY, goalkeeper with not a rush in him and don't get me started on that t*at of a manager westley. Because the ref was new,young and VERY weak (he lost the plot i.m.o)they got away with all of the above. Add to the pot an Oldham side with key players short on confidence/form/skill (choose one/all!) and it made for me the most frustrating game of football? i've seen in a long long time.
The two bright lights for me were Nathan Clarke who looked like he gave a :censored: and Tom Adeyemi who was the only latics midfielder with any bite and will to win the ball - just a shame that there was no-one to pass to!
