Dave's best game by a long shot, he was excellent but I expect him to fade in the second half

I know what you are saying, but he's causing them issues.

I would be inclined to agree. While it does seem frustrating to see Crazy Legs out wide, I do think PB is making the right call here. Because one release into the box from Alzate or Dave and we know Crazy is dangerous anywhere inside 25yrds. Alzate reminds me of an unpolished version of Jesse Lingard. You know he has ability to pick out a world class pass and has long range ability too. Needs to be encouraged to do that a little more. Hopefully his goal last week gave him confidence to do that. Test the keepers from range at this level and someone like Richards can sniff in and poach the scraps. Ths game hangs in the balance and maybe just one good set piece delivery could produce a goal. We know we can deliver it. If Taylor delivers 15 bad set pieces but the 16th flies in or finds Crazy then we'll be happy. Keep pressing Town.

Nice to see LMc barking organisation at the defence. Like a keeper should. Nothing worse as a CB than a keeper giving you crap for not leaving his calls but it builds reassurance that the man between the sticks is confident in his role. This helps the defence develop as a unit.

Om another note, have we fixed our Rolex? Kicked off at bang on 3pm, not the usual 3.02 or 3.03pm that we've become so famous for. Maybe the ref has his own watch. That works Wink

He is but I wish the problems were being caused IN the box not outside of it, if he had a decent striker waiting in the box then its not an issue but Richards has again done f all so far.

I suspect at some point he brings on McGlashan for Richards and moves Anderson into the central role.

The view of an Oldham fan on their forum...

Quote

Nothing game really.  We look solid and tuff to break down, like most of our away games this season.  Nothing up top, ball not sticking, Swindon playing in front of us with no real danger.

 

Branger had half a chance on the half volley from the keepers flapping at a cross but it was difficult to keep down, Miller should maybe have played Branger through when we had a break on but apart from that we haven't looked like scoring from open play.

I would have prefered us to start like that today, Oldham have a very slow defence and McGlashan has the pace to exploit them.

Taylor puts a long cross in over everyones head, then Woolf crosses into the arms of their keeper, poor crossing by Town.

Long range shot by O'Grady easily saved by LMC.

Dangerous play by Oldham but ends well for Town with a terrible cross beyond everyone.

Great play by Anderson wins the ball beats his man and finds Taylor 35 yards out who tries his luck but it goes well wide.

Richards wins a long ball but is judged to have fouled when he had a good flick on.
