On the brightside. ...... have we found our penalty taker.

If we are as strong as DF would have us believe this should have been a comfortable game with a draw as the outcome at least, From what I can deduce of the Oldham line-up it does seem to have been more or less their strongest team whereas we were only lacking Copps and Houghton by the end; so only small consolation.

It's very difficult to get any joy from the performance from what I heard and it is thoroughly depressing that they did not seem to try much until the last 5 minutes.

It would have been a miserable result if Oldham had been mid table, but this is the division we hope to return to and get out of with more or less this set of players. Butler's injury at the end just about crowns the misery.

We can't keep pretending that this kind of display is the exception. It bodes ill.

Considerable improvement and much more drive and determination are required.
