Oldham, yo!

I think this game is a good indication of why we are trying to get Coates games by sending on loan or trying to get rid full stop. Out muscled throughout the first half.
 
Missed the first goal, poor from Coates. But why the fuck did Jones not pick that ball from air?
 
I always prefer starting with such players and then taking them off when the match is won. We always seem to start with a weak team and then send on the top players to strain like mad to rescue the match. It's hardly the best way to 'rest' them.
 
This half has reminded of watching arse, of a few years ago in the cups, when they used to play those kids.

All tippy, tap one touch up front.

Outfought in the middle and in defence.
 
Coates isnt dominiating enough. You cant just stand and watch hoping to get onto the ball.
Its a mans game

Except when they played us, when they thrashed us!
 
When you play against a team with a striker who is 12 feet 4 inches tall, you should really be looking at fielding an organised defence. Every time they get the ball, wherever on the pitch, you know it will be direct into our final third and they will swarm the second ball and hunt us down. All the pretty territory gaining football we play is negated in 2 seconds of hoof ball.
BR at fault with his defensive selection big time, was clear he thought we would win fiftytwelve-nil.
 
Yea, so this is why I think I'm fine with Coates leaving. We've seen quite a few CBs who lack urgency, but Coates is like watching Morientes defend.
 
Well, Oldham have obviously come to rough us up a bit and see if we can handle some 'real' football.

It's working, with the assistance of the ref
