Henderson needs to give his head a wobble. Hope it’s in his contract that he takes a wage cut if we go down. May be a great ambassador off the pitch but not having his goal threat may cost us. |  |

Did we? We've struggled against the poorer teams in this league at home lately with Hendo in the side. We just don't have the creativity up front to open up teams who come to Spotland for a point. |
He’s our top scorer. They were struggling to cope at the back and I think we’d all rather have him in the team than not. | |

Just said to my mates, Henderson's red card will be the reason we go down IF we go down. Hopefully not.
We missed him dearly tonight.
The amount of times the ball dropped into the number 10 area of the pitch and there was NOBODY there to pick it up, exactly where Hendo would have been.
3 or 4 times we just needed someone to take a shot and we've got a bunch of players in the midfield who have only scored a handful of goals in their careers lacking the confidence to score.
Frustrating, but we're now a point closer to Walsall and Oxford! Keep going lads! |
Yes we missed him, but our lack of goals all season will be what relegates us, if we go down |  |

Easy to see why Oldham are struggling - they looked really poor at the back. We could and should have won that one easily. I can see the next three games following a similar pattern though unfortunately. We are where we are not because we don’t create enough chances, but because we don’t put enough of them away. |  | | |

Would be good to know why Davies didn’t feature and how long he’s likely not to. |  |

Thought we gave everything tonight.
We weren't helped by the lengthy delay to the penalty, and I thought the disallowed goal was questionable to say the least but from start to finish we gave it our all, and no one should be despondent after that.
The late goal against Oxford means this isn't the worst result in the world by a long way. Should we have won? Well their failure to have a shot on goal tells its own story, and I thought Oldham did well to avoid a second yellow card. They'll be complaining at the card count but there wasn't one which wasn't worthy.
Heads up, bring on Bradford. |  | | |

That game was worrying. Oldham were poor without a shot on target. We had all the play but in truth, apart from the penalty we never looked like scoring for all the chances we created.
The 3 points were massive on Saturday but the red card may prove bigger. Without Hendo and the disappearance of Davies we have Done on 5 goals, then Calvin and Inman on 3. You really have to wonder where they are going to come from now. | | | |

The penalty was a hopeless attempt by Rafferty. The disallowed goal looked correct from the Main Stand, with the ref immediately blowing for a foul by Calvin.
Hendo would probably have made the difference tonight , as we played some good stuff with little composure in front of goal.
Calvin, Inman and Rathbone our stand out players.
Overall, we should have won easily, against as poor a team as we have faced all season.
Hope the Latics fan gets a long ban for trying to attack the ref. Lots of reports of trouble from the Biffo's once again. Why can't they behave ? | | | |

I'm sure the ref signalled for a goal? Didn't look a foul - just a keeper back pedalling for a ball he couldn't reach and colliding with Calvin. We needed that break tonight. |  |

The referee immediately blew for a free kick, it looked like he gave it but it was whistle in mouth pointing towards our half for a free kick.
Wasn't a foul to me from about 10 yards away. | |

Re Raff taking the penalty perhaps he is second best at taking them in training after Hendo. | |

I didn't think he was going to score - he looked more and more terrified as he waited for the whistle. |  | | |

He blew for a foul straight away. |  |

The difference between two pretty average teams tonight was their keeper, and not just the penalty save. His handling under pressure was top class and tbf he must've had a lot of practice this season
Overall, a fair result. I didn't think Latics were unduly defensive and it was a decent enough game for a pressurised derby. No qualms about Raff not scoring. He took it on and it's up to others to take that responsibility if they think they can do better
Best move of the match was their pitch invader going for ref, missing and sliding into their own player, a definite yellow

No Hendo. No Davies. No chance. |
Can’t fault the performance, the effort and I’m not even that disappointed with the result. Despite all of that, I’m actually now more nervous about our chances than before the game (or before I found out Davies was not involved). Without both of them I do wonder if we now have enough goals to get out of this. [Post edited 17 Apr 2018 22:56]

It looked to be as though the referee gave the goal and the linesman overuled it.
The penalty was a farce, keeping the players waiting for no apparent reason was certain to hand the advantage to the keeper. Having said that having a fullback take the penalty says more about our so called attackers than Rafferty.. If Andrew, Done and Inman dont have the confidence to step up and take the resposibility, its clear why we struggle to score goals. I dont think this game will define the season but the problem of not having a genuine goalscoring frontman probably will. |  | | |

No Davues, Henderson or Dobre = no creativity.
Why was Thompson left on for so long? We may have well as played with 10 men for 20 mins in the second half - he was knackered. | | | |

Be good to know about Davies, Dobre Knott, and a whole multitude of things, did we appeal hendo' card. But this is Rochdale , so we aren't getting told. The tone of the match was set by their managent throwing the ball away early on when we had a throw in, they were a dirty niggly team, with obnoxious fans. I hope they go down | |

I actually made that comment in relation to the penalty, but the wider point is a concern for sure.
Our flair player Dobre has seemingly been dropped for not tracking back. I know he’s predominantly a winger, but I bet he’d do alright in that No.10 position while Hendo is missing. Couldn’t hurt to try it. [Post edited 17 Apr 2018 23:02]
