Ward drifted in a lot though and that caused them no end of problems. It was almost as if we had 3 upfront at times in the second half.

Which may explain their first goal, he had such a good 30 mins that he stopped tracking and marking in the last 10 mins or so.  Can't say I watched their player get where he did but I wonder if the highlights show a player pulling LJF into the middle, both attracted to the ball and someone ghosting in from deep without anyone tracking them.

Great game - as in shit but we scored 4, could have had 7, they could have had 3 but it somehow was awful.  Results like this make good teams, win well playing that badly, we must be having a good season.

I saw this... an Oldham move broke down, and though the ball was on the other side of the pitch, Colbeck didn't track back and stayed right out on the wing miles from anyone - onside because he was level with Greer and Cuthbert, completely unnoticed. LJF was in a central position and about ten yards ahead of the centre backs, ball watching.  When they won the ball back and the awful shot eventually came in, he just ghosted in unmarked.

Lucas plays against Charlton, Lucas can't play against Oldham but this weekend there will be another bigger game, do you think he'll be back? Probably.

It makes me thing we 'managing' Lucas's strain by picking and choosing our matches rather than having to put him under the knife?

we were shit for first 44 minutes, got a goal then a penalty. no way should we have been up 2-0 at half time. Then second half we were ok for first 40 minutes then shit for the remainder with our spastic fans getting on the players backs DESPITE having a 2 goal leads! Well done to those morons. End of the day 3 points is 3 points. Very bizarre game.

I presume you are talking about them getting on dougie's back,I heard it aswell although he did't have a very good game it was uncalled for i have to admit,he just had an off day it happens.Our fans need to remember he has more good than bad.

Just a bit frustration i would say,I think people are expecting sexy attacking football every game now.

[Power to people]

Frustrating with JPM he wasn't getting the ball at times so he drifts into the middle, or drifts right over to the left leaving huge gap down the right hand side, I know he is not playing as a winger but surely if your playing on the right you don't drift over to the left leaving a big gap, Big Kev can't cover the midfield area as well as the defensive area.

JP had lot's of space in front of him at times but he just wanted to play the ball around instead of moving it down the wing to get a cross in as they was standing off him half the time, on the few occastion he did go down the wing and get a cross in they was good crosses that led to chances.

[THE FLASH]

What a weirdo of a game.

Total bollox for 40 odd minutes and then bang!

Could and should of had more and i expect DW will be a bit pissed at the soft goals, especially as goal difference may have an effect on our season finish.

Hudds away is yet another test....a draw would be a right royal result there!
