HarryBosch Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 we played poorly, Dagenham came for a draw and got one well done Dagenham. we would have lost a game like that in previous seasons. still a crap crowd but a 33% increase in home fans over Tuesday is not to be sniffed at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Every team in the division is going to have an off day or two at some point. We've just had one of ours. We move on of course, but only if we've learned from it. Pumping the ball in the air against a team that were winning 95% of the headers wasn't smart, especially when most of our goals come from playing the ball on the floor through our wings. Half-arsed performances from Tounkare, Stephens and Trotman, plus ineffectual use of White and Evina's pace all added to a very mediocre performance, when we'd hoped that another fabulous display might encourage the extra few hundred supporters who were there to come back regularly. Bad timing again Latics. We know they can do better, and the players know they can too. They shouldn't put this completely behind them though - they should use it as an example of why you need to be 100% alert and commited, and go out there on Saturday knowing that they can beat anyone if they remain switched on, but can slip up against even the bottom clubs if they don't. We're still in a great position, and there's no reason why we can't be in the play-offs at the end of the campaign as long as PD and GT work on mental stamina and 100% application. Comment from PD on BBC web site: "I'm fairly pleased with how we played today, really disappointed with the result, but some of our play going forward was excellent." He is obviously easier to please than I am - it was a poor performance against a hardworking but limited team. We play eight outfield players who are comfortable with the ball at their feet- have pace and skill - and we simply did not play to our strengths. I am not pleased with the performance at all. Bring on Huddersfield. Edited February 6, 2011 by TheBigDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SholverBlue Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Not an over-reaction in the slightist, Dag+Red are bottom of the league- lack in concentration at the back and we draw- terrible result. Just look at are results for inconsisitancy, and if we were to make the play-offs it would mean winning games just like today. Yet they won there last match 4-1...

wayneo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Too many chances hit straight at the keeper. Though to be fair it was hard to miss him and his goal celebration was worth the entrance fee alone. One point is better than nothing at least. My maths is excellent. the only time ive ever laughed when we've conceded a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Totally an over-reaction. Of course all Oldham fans think we should have won against the bottom side, but football is a funny owd game. Look what happened in the prem, bottom side beat top side (not mentioning names ) One swallow doesn't make a summer, and 2 dropped points doesn't mean we are not going up......... yet. it will be forgotten about when we stuff the inbreds from gayfarm on saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
