Oldham we’re much much better than they were on Boxing Day, it would be hard not to be really, but we were still the better team and we’re undone by an absolute clanger at the back and a dubious penalty from a nothing ball into the box. We aren’t getting torn apart at the back but when those early direct balls are played into the opposition target men we do look vulnerable…especially because we like to ply a high press and it leaves us short at the back sometimes.

I’m not sure Palmer and Bostock worked very well, though that’s not why we didn’t win. Thought Cameron did ok at LWB, though not as good as I think he could be there. I dunno, certainly jo time to panic and get negative about team selections etc. LW has a small squad of players and has got his rotations pretty much spot on so far.

Not the best way to start the new year, but we may well have lost that in times past. Wrexham and Chesterfield are strong but so are we, it is just important to bounce back with three points next Saturday, which isn’t a ‘gimme’ by any stretch of the imagination. Hopefully Ruben will have come around from whatever he was suffering with today too.
Bostock is not as good as JOB. He is another one who prefers to pass back and side ways. He is no improvement on what we already have.
