First time I'd seen us play for a couple months, and what a difference two months makes. Lunny looked back to his best, he was running the show, some of his balls in the second half were unbelievable. Not sure about Ledson - wanted to like him more than I did. Displayed some nice little touches but wasn't really the tough-tackling I had been lead to believe he was. It is noticeable how Lunny's form has improved since he has been playing with Ledson. He clearly isn't the gung ho defensive midfielder (but can put a challenge in) but more uses his reading of the game from what I've seen. He allows Lunny to push further up the pitch and influence the game from there. I suspect his value to the team will become apparent the more he plays just like with Martin Gray back in the 90s.

Yes, the one 7 yards out. Shocking to not make the keeper work from there Thought it was a guilt edged chance and he shanked the 3 points wide with it discraceful miss those have to go in . He seemed to work for a while after that and battled to hold a ball up and lay it off. With the ref i thought Dunks was lucky with his 2 footed lunge like at macc and hall pushed their player over in front of ref whilst on a yellow. Why cant we play against those type of teams we really never have under Mapp. Loved the London rd esq "Appleton Appleton knock him out " chant You can also blame Eastwood for costing us 3 points with their goal then. Also, you can blame Lunny, Johnson, Maguire for missing 'guilt edged' chances and not getting the 3 points.

Their 8 fell over rather enthusiastically. It looked quite embarrassing to see a 6ft + bean pole throw himself on the floor like he'd be punched by Ali in his prime. It's Rob Hall. There was little if any contact and his foul was oh so cynical. What a coward that bloke is.
Seeing the 24 seemingly not get why he was sent off was hilarious. Clearly not the sharpest of people. Must send him an OUFC shirt for Christmas seeing as he spent most of his time on the pitch trying to get hold of one...

I wouldnt blame the miss if he worked his nuts of all game instead of 5mins afterwards. Fair point about Eastwood but hes earned the right to pick the ball up and throw it in his own net if he wants.

p*ssed off with these comments about Hemmings. 10 goals so far and playing in the wrong role. Put Taylor and him up front and see a partnership develop. And I don't have words to describe people who want Hylton back. Where do you get 10 goals from? I only make it 7. 4 in the league (Bristol, Sheffield, Southend & Coventry), 2 in the FA Cup at Merstham and 1 against the Chelsea 23s in the DoesntMatterMuch Cup.

That second half was an event wasn't it? Who needs soap operas?
Dunkley played like he'd been on an all night drinking session.
Oldham were disgraceful. No wonder MA went all Incredible Hulk.
We have a good team. COYY.

Well yes, I can do the maths. (Even me!)
But they are not relevant to any discussion of how Kane Hemmings is doing for us.
You are so pendantic!

On their forum they're pointing out that our player didn't even get a yellow for 'punching (their #9) in the head'. Did that happen? Fairly sure it didn't ... Not on the pitch but there were punches thrown in the tunnel after the game ;-) waiting to hear who from but certainly happened!

If Ledson, I don't think Rothwell is particularly effective as a defensive midfielder.

Oldham really were a horrible outfit. The amount of time wasting, complaining, and cheating just wasn't nice to see. I suppose they'll point to the fact they're fighting for their lives, but even so there's a way to go about things. When our situation started to get a but worrying we focussed on doing the right things, whereas Oldham seem to have focussed on doing all the wrong things. For that reason I hope they go down.
Despite this, I thought we played quite well. More so in the second half. Lundstram seems to have regained his form, which is great to see. His long switch from the right back position to Rob Hall on the left wing was world class. I also thought Ledson had a better game yesterday. He did a good job of breaking up the play, and his passing was a lot neater than in previous matches.
Maguire was a little bit hit and miss I thought. I like to see him coming deeper at times, but I think he did it too often yesterday. If he wants to be a striker he needs to be in the box more often. Hemmings can't do it all in there. That said his bit of skill where he beat two or three players out on the right was sublime.
All in all it was a frustrating afternoon. We were clearly the better team but in sixth months time the results table won't show that. We need to make our dominance count. An experienced, goalscoring striker should be number one on the list of priorities come January.
Anyway, on to Bury (not forgetting Macclesfield in between). Another winnable match. Let's hope we can pick up three points and going into the sellout Boxing Day match looking towards the playoffs.
COYY

I just watched the highlights and our decision in the final third was frustrating. I guess the players had instructions to shoot from range in the hope that the keeper would spill the slippy ball but I think we overdid it. Maguire, but not only him, should have passed a few more times instead of shooting from unfavourable angles.

I missed the game yesterday as well as the radix commentary. I've seen loads of posts saying that Oldham were a disgrace etc etc but no explanation how or why. Can someone do a quick rundown of the game and why they loads of our fans are slagging Oldham off.
