Oldham Athletic 1 v 0 Salford City Papa John's Trophy Tuesday, 31st August 2021 Kick-off 19:00 |
newgolddream added 18:04 - Apr 14 Very disappointing result. Unbelievable amount of possession and Ben Foster never tested (second half). We're evens with the bookies to go down with Blackburn and Wolves. The Man City fixture could be a massive game for both sides after today's results. Hopefully we can we can win both our home matches and stay in the EPL. SuddenLad added 19:00 - Apr 14 I didn't see Dirk Kuyt or Craig Bellamy on the bench, but as it turned out we didn't need to call on their services. Are they on trial, or were they just guests of the club ? francisbowles added 19:43 - Apr 14 Unfortunately, I think it was one of those days. I thought that, like at Man U, Kenny having got to the shot should have done better. Zamora unlucky more than once. We looked comfortable until they scored but were not great after. WBA played well and nothing much went for us. We tried hard but to little effect. At least it was only 1-0, can't fault the effort and Swansea beat B'burn 3-0. Hopefully, we are saving our away form for Chel**** onedalefan added 21:08 - Apr 14 Today sums up everything that makes you a true Dale fan. 75 minutes where you wonder why you bother and then 15 minutes that make it all worthwhile. MelakaRanger added 00:03 - Apr 15 I thought WBA were very average and we were just poor. No drive, no urgency and Adel far too casual. They didnt look like a team fighting for their lives. Very disappointing indeed Then when SWP came on I knew we were doomed to lose. He is a complete waste. Repeating this type of peformance will bring zero points, its simply not good enough. Hopefully MH will get the grit back into the team for next weeks game. AGEREPC01 added 07:35 - Apr 15 I thought Buz would play. We were TOOO defensive minded. We came to get a point. ASt lerast buz should have been on at half time, possibly HH for Mackie. Vanwho added 08:48 - Apr 15 Fonte had no aggression in his play, very sloppy and too casual at the back. Same for Fox. No way can you bring up Davis distribution. It was first class on Friday night, he rolled it out with pace from the back and his kicks reached lambert pretty much everytime (ridiculous comment) steve played well when he came on, Guly didn’t make an impact but not a lot of time given and the comments around the ground were negative before he even touched a ball. I think he needs to feel loved so let’s encourage with the last 3 games. Since the Guly haters started his form has dropped, can’t be coincidence. As winchesterbob said, 3 mistakes and 3 goals. simple as that. jos, could have had a hatrick on corners as well. Frustrating yes, but lets not let negativity creep in, all to play for still. COYR's! walshy15a added 14:01 - Apr 15 Shun added 14:35 - Apr 15 icehorsestud added 13:07 - Apr 16 Agree with Grampy. Aaron martin must wonder if he is ever going to get on as well. I would have used him as the last sub to bolster the middle of the defence - then we gave away the second goal. NA seems to have his favourites and plays them regardless of what most of us can see. Fox is just not good enough - stands off too long and allows the cross. Guly is totally out of his depth at the moment. Either NA did not feel the need to increase the forward line when we were 2-1 down or Guly did not follow instructions. He wandered around the middle, never going forwards. If Guly is on the bench as a forward, he should be replaced by Lee Barnard. Fonte and Hoov have been excellent all season so the occasional mare is allowed. Lambert brillant in his distribution. Sharpe is getting better and was unlucky not to get a run. Lallanda is frustrating. Why does he feel the need to double back and beat his man a second and third time rather than attack the box? De Ridder has dazzle but end product not quite there. There are too many long lofted balls and not enough penetrating passes thru the middle, which used to tear opposition apart. Shame about Tadanari. If we don't go up, we only have ourselves top blame. should have beaten Pompey and should not have lost to Reading. Still hopeing but getting worried.
