smartzatart Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 ...I thought we were excellent today, played some great flowing football against a resolute ten man Rochdale defence !! Our only real issues were the fact we wanted to walk the ball into the net and we gifted them two goals. We used the flanks well, played it through the middle and kept possesion for long periods. I thought the referee let play go for both sides, there were numerous opportunities for him to blow up for fouls but he let it go and when he did blow, kept his cards in his pocket. Not sure that the red card was that bad but he obviously did, I'm sure the highlights will put the record straight!! Thoroughly enjoyable derby game just a pity we didn't get the result we deserved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Our best football came in the first 10 minutes of the second half and the final 7 minutes of the game. Other than that is was pretty woeful....like last season woeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellys_discopants Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 First half we were poor, second to everything and couldnt string two passes together. Second half we were alot better, we do need to stop trying to walk the ball in the net, and have afew more efforts outside the box. We used the wings well but the final ball was often lacking. It was a frustrating afternoon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoroughly enjoyable derby game just a pity we didn't get the result we deserved i rarely post here but i thought the second half performance was excellent oldham produced very little in the first half while dale had lots of the ball in our half the second saw us in some great positions, having all of the possession and territory but really not testing the dale keeper at all. they produced next to nothing and got very lucky with two very very soft goals the ref didnt help but i dont think he was as bad as some people are making out on another day we win this game comfortably, we'll pick up and move on and if we continue to play like that and put teams under that sort of pressure we'll win lots of games between now and the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Fent Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've seen Latics play a hell of a lot worse and you're right another day we would of won and I hate it when people whinge but the fact remains that Rochdale have taken 4 points off and we're down to 12th in the table after being in the top 10 for so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 And the least enjoyable game of the season. Fact I'd agree with this- it wasn't how we played, that we lost, or how bad the ref was. We were playing Dale = Must NOT Loose. We lost, Dale could go down, we could go up (perhaps not any more) but Dale have the bragging rights. (Incidentally I know a few Poolites and would much rather we lost to them and lost worse than we did than loose to Dale). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) I'd say today was massively frustrating. The first half was a non-event with poor refereeing, the second half was lively with diabolical refereeing. We should have been ready for Dale's smash and grab - we weren't. Bad defending for both goals. For the penalty, Brill should have caught it and we shouldn't have allowed them another shot from the penalty rebound. Roobs just messed up for the second. A half competent referee would have given us at least one penalty for handball at 2-1. It seemed a bit daft lumping the ball up to Taylor in the first half, who was up against two brick sh*thouse defenders. If we'd have kept it on the floor, we would have caused them more problems. An opportunity missed to get the 5,000+ Latics fans there today back on a regular basis. Edited January 3, 2011 by JoeP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
