Oldham Athletic v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread

[cib]

First 20 minutes, abysmal. Other than that you would've been hard pushed to say we didn't deserve something from the game.

Opening goal came from our throw on halfway and a ball over the top into the space vacated by Turnbull for the throw. Stephens was claiming offside afterwards but to no avail. You've probably heard the second. It was as bad as it sounded.

We couldn't hold the ball up first half and second half we missed a couple of gilt edged chances. They could and probably should've hit us on the break.

Similarly to Fleetwood, I thought our football would come good in the end but the head start they were given was insurmountable. Oldham defended well, sat in and wasted time from around 30 mins, which is understandable.

Scunthorpe is a big game now, can't imagine as many having off-days again?! Will be a good indicator of our promotion credentials.

Gladwin faded badly second half (still not fully fit), Luongo came into the game more after a disappointing first half and the two strikers were awful before the break but played much better in the second.

Williams/Stephens were pretty annoyed at FT, which was pleasing to see.

Swindon....Bubble....Burst....PNE....Going Up.

Fuck me, did Preston win? Must be months since you won a game. Well done.

Is that nurse calling?

[Abrahammer]

Minor blip, every team has one at some point.

We know this team has pure quality throughout, there's no need to worry.

Sounds like she's just sat Thor down on a commode and he's squeezing out a constipated crap....

Thor...like....beans

[lambourn red]

Fuck me that was cold I thought I was witnessing another Cheltenham but once we calmed the fuck down we took control and should have got a point
Smith and obkia were shit and Hylton looked more threatening than both of them together

Oldham fans very complimentary on their forum with most saying we are the best side they have faced this season.

Shame we had an abysmal first 20

[lambourn red]

For anyone who is interested there were 233 Town fans last night, after sleeping on it I still can't work out how we lost last night we just need to be more clinical around the edge of the box. The other thing is we had 12 corners and at no point did we threaten  the goalkeeper with any of them.

[Sir Pissalot]

If we are to become a real threat again, Smith and Obika need to rediscover a way to get themselves back onto the scoresheet regularly.

Just reading through the Oldham forum, they are very good winners, giving us a lot of credit. I'm only on page 2/5 but its making me feel better about the defeat -

'they are as good a side as I have seen this season and the number 4 was utter quality.' is the highlight so far.

We'd be even closer if we hadn't kicked your sorry ass earlier this year.

Batch pissed on yours

Must be some mistake.     According to those clowns on OTIB, fans on every other League 1 club's forum share their view that we are just a bunch of dirty cheats.

Not one comment about us going down easily although a couple did say Branco should have been sent off.

Hopefully a fresh Nathan Thompson and Byrne back on Saturday
