we go 1-0 up away to a team in the top 3, and you expect them to do nothing? No they attack like merry fcuk to get the equaliser, but then thats is because we are invite them to score by sitting back?

look ..... we score and you expect Oldham, a top 3 team full of ex premiership players to roll over? No the c unts went for us and carried on until they scored. Its nothing to do with "going into a shell". Its because Oldham needed to score.

Morrison looked like the leader of the defenders and looked pretty sound, I'm unsure to why he was taken off?
Powell was awful today, thought he was our worst player on the pitch.
Kisnorbo looked totally unfit, his touches were poor and he looked nothing of the standard Morrison looked in the first half; assured & confident.
We should've killed Oldham on the counter attack, I'm also clueless to why Adams was taken off? Don't get me wrong I was the first to say Gradel should come on, I just thought Adams was offering more then King & Dyer in the first half. Gradel was nothing short of disappointing.
Nevertheless this was a great result.

i no they will come at us,but this is the point i am making. leicester stopped playing and not for the first time.
they did the same against huddersfield. we have had the rub of the green in other games were we should of been out of sight.
nigel pearson has to get the players focused after we score,because we allways seem shaky after taking the lead.

But if that shot hadn't been blocked he would have finished a hero. I agree though, he was disappointing.

Gradel was poor today. Mind you, I didn't think Adams had a particularly good game either.

I've never seen Gradel have a good game. Occasionally he has beaten a man only to pass it to their goalie. He didn't even do that today. Utter shite.

I cannot speak about todays match since I wasn't there. However, in defence of Gradel I thought he was very good the first few matches and so did others since he came 4th in the Forum rankings for August. He is young and inexperienced and will go through bad patches. It makes sense for NP to start with Adams but if he is not effective to try Gradel's pace in the second half when the fullback may be tiring. Kisnorbo will only get match fit by playing parts of games and deserves patience.

Morrison wasnt much good and Kisnorbo did a better job of bullying Lee Hughes which needed doing Problem was we didnt close down the scorer and let the midfield over run us for the 2nd half of the 2nd half and we couldnt clear the ball long enough and they just kept coming at us

Sorry but Morrison really struggled today - it was right he was taken off, He couldn't handle Hughes and was 'switched' to mark their No 10 - he was a lazy bugger but out-muscled Morrison easily.
Too many last ditch challenges when he was beaten. don't get me worng, he worked hard and made some good last-minute tackles - but was definitely struggling.
Should have won having scored first and being on top but, as the other lads have said, once we sat back a bit and they pushed on, the game was so different...
Relatively happy with a draw in the end

One brilliant one in the first half. I thought the Oldham player was going to go down and if he had I reckon the ref would have given a pen as the tackle by Morrison was cut that fine. Not that he touched the player, the tackle was a perfect example of a last second interception. But it was one of those that if you have an opposition cheat the ref is usually fooled.
Didn't do much else right for me though.
I thought Adams was better than Dyer. He didn't do much today, missed a sitter and hardly saw the ball.
