I thought he would be that type, it's ok when they are scoring but when they don't the boo boys single them out. This isn't me having a go as I think hes a good option to have, but for me we should be looking for a worker upfront to stretch the game and create space for the likes of Moussa (even though hes on the bench today).

I didnt see it as critical. My thoughts exactly. Nice player to have in your team but needs someone up with him. And I think we have that in Elliott but its knowing who to drop to accommodate him. We seem to have too many decent midfielders and they take preference over players up alongside Clarke

we should have put the game to bed prior to this but a great result. Love the fact that we have this constant fighting spirit. On the negative side, I was shocked that we were so far off the pace of the front 2.

Missed the winning goal. My lad was cold so we missed the last 2 mins of added time. What was the goal like?

Top class goal, Moussa laid it off the to Bailey 18 yards out. Controlled it and lashed it into top corner

I have a remote control for the lights. Am a jinx this season though. Missed Brum, Walsall, Preston and Tranmere.

Odds on now we will lose with me here..

Plan was to pick my daughter up from her gran's, but the gran turned up at the Ricoh with my daughter and were standing waiting in the freezing cold, so got a text message and left.

Within 20 seconds City scored the winner! :facepalm:

I'm glad I'm not the only one being driven mad by him!!! It's Peter Bodak, winger from the 70s or 80s. He just does not know when to be quiet and leave it to the professionals!!

He didnt even think to look at players names or anything. Nothing more annoying!

Sadly Oldham or should it be Hold Em were one of the poorest sides to have graced the Ricoh this season ably assisted by an equally poor and weak ref. Are there any decent refs who officiate in this league?
Matt Smith an equally poor excuse for a footballer who should be looking to review his career options and a change in vocation as a decent hod carrier perhaps. No disrespect to hod carriers by the way.

He was a thug, and not that good tbh. In saying that, Grendel loves these types of player, big strong etc.

Just checked BBC football and can't believe their stats that show we only had 47% possession. We were all over them surely!

The BBC stats are always woefully inaccurate

Footballers in this league who do not possess some form of strength or pace are unlikely to succeed. Moussa has both. He is superior to fleck but is hardly a big thug type player is he?

Apples and oranges. flecks passing and shooting are head and shoulders above Moussa's.
they're different kinds of players.

Agree with that, but one seems to fit into the team dynamics much better than the other, especially in that attacking role.

I think he stopped it going in. Had he not touched it, I think Clarkes header would have ended up going in, but Elliott was in the way

I was impressed by Oldham's number 5 at centre back actually but going forward they missed several glorious chances. Adams and Bailey were good, and Christie impressed making runs up the flank-defence still a little dodgy though.

I'm not disagreeing but SBT thinks you can be slow lack strength and still be an asset.

The defender was good and yes they had 3 good chances to score.

I thought their number 22 the defensive midfielder as very impressive

I was on about their striker, not their CB, who was ok, and built like a brick shot house!
