As others have said, Chicksen didn’t offer a decent final ball all game on Boxing Day.

Strongly disagree. There was a 10 minute spell in the second half where Chicksen put 3 or 4 great balls into the Oldham box. It's amazing that we didn't score from at least one of them.

Not one of those balls got past the first defender. He got into great positions and linked up well with Austin but final delivery was poor.

It was the complete opposite to Chicksen on Boxing Day who benefited from all too easy 1-2s and movement off the ball and then struggled to a) pick the right option b) find a man. And he had many opportunities to do either/both.

Did you two watch the game on Boxing Day? Watch these highlights from 2:55 and you'll see three really good balls from Chicksen. The first forces their defender to kick the ball against his own goalkeeper's head (who knew nothing about it), the other two pick out Ruben and Castro in good shooting positions.

Have a look, and tell me if you stand by your comments:
