I was in attendance and what a woeful first half that was.

Take nothing away from Oldham. They were a busy unit and in our faces from the off. High tempo wide playing, they set about us that quick we'd hardly blinked when after less than a minute they were in front, embarrassing to say the least. Richardson was cheekily chipped over the top and left in no mans land while Douglas was no where near his man, who blasted it home from short range. These two are not ready for this level yet and it showed throughout the game, albeit Richardson was the busier of the two with some tackles putting the ball out of play.

Their second goal was another footballing lesson and having performed heroics against Bradford, Dawson was once again back to his worse. Rigid on the goal line, he could have and should have cleared the ball in mid air after Baptiste had been out jumped. Spence didn't come out of this without blame as he too was out jumped for their player to score.

We desperately need to be seeking another keeper in Januray if Hamshaw has no faith in Cann, why bring him in? Yes he has/had concussion but their have been other games this season already where Dawson has been weak. Other Managers change keepers why can't we? I feel Dawson is our main weak link in the defence and maybe the other players feel it to at times during a game, others may disagree.

Is it playing the three in the back or a need for a solid four, that we can't yet defend correctly? Has Woody been told just to work with a three or is he in agreement with Hamshaw and they still blindly insist on using this failed set up?

Anyway back to the game. I like the effort and style of play their forward troubled us with in the first half. Not so much the second half as he was nullified by bringing on Rafferty.

Our turnaround with the Howitzer from Spence was well worked, a lucky deflection for an own goal but a powerhouse of a delivery from Rafferty caused their time wasting thrower Leake to put it into his own goal, game finally on.

In the end the more experience and stamina showed from us with Reece scoring a lovely well worked goal having been supplied by a flick on from Hugill. Game over, got out of jail free or was it a more concerted team effort in the second half coming from the second half subs? Whatever, it was a well deserved win having come back from being 2-0 down.

Don't like the Etete/Sheriff combination and simply cannot wait from Sam Nombe's return to full duty. Not heard any further update but, trust his partner/baby are doing well.

NB. Note to RU66, did you notice Josh Ayres played and scored, don't know what it was cancelled out for? Meanwhile your lad McGu..... we'll not bother going there.
