I didn't think anything needed to change at half time. For the last 10-15 minutes of the first half we were well on top and creating chances.

Not the game i watched.
You must have watched a different game to me then. For the first half hour or so Oldham looked the better team, but towards the end of the first half we were well on top.

Its all about opinions, and i'll stick with mine.
The live text thing backs up my opinion...

All credit to Oldham. However, we were poor in midfield and attack. Even with ten men Oldham looked dangerous and I thought they could have scored except for good play by the back four and David Martin. I become ever more impressed by Michael Morrison and wonder if he has the makings of a Premiership defender in a few years time (hopefully with Leicester).
It's the PremiumTV one, I don't know if the Mockery use the same one, but I'm sure they don't do their own, they don't even do their own report on the day of the match.

Well if you count a 10-15 min spell where the goalkeeper didn't have to make a single save then......

But we were dominating and creating chances, playing far better than we had been earlier in the game, and if we'd continued like that I'm sure we'd have won.

I agree, i feel that had Oldham kept 11 men on the pitch then they were the more likely winners.
Like you say we never got going, and i was disappointed that NP didn't seem to change things at half time.

Whatever our opinions are we didn't deserve to win today.
Just hope the Walkers jinx is not returning.

I would have made substitutions at half time.
Why couldn't NP have got Dyer to switch wings and cut inside............anything to try and cause them more problems.
I dont think we closed them down quickly enough, and our distribution was very poor. They hustled us when we had the ball, and we were not smart enough or energetic enough to stamp our authority on the game. I thought we were lacklustre for most of the 90mins.

We had the chances to score but didn't take them, and Windass was either gonna concede a few or when it went into the box the rare times it did, he and the defence were going to somehow clear it, and that's what they did.
Wasn't a good performance but tbh it's a point closer to promotion. It certainly wasn't deserved to be booed imo.

Absolutely agree - what nonsense.

It says something that we are disappointed with a draw this season.
I had a feeling this would be a difficult game, and on this evidence Oldham will be well capable of taking points off our main rivals.
