Cliches ahoy 1) A 2 goal lead is the most dangerous 2) Goals change games 3) The next goal will be crucial
That was a very strange half of football. We were 2-0 up and looked completely dominant. Oldham got their penalty and absolutely battered us last 15 minutes. It was only through some combo of Amos' hand and Clarke's head that we went in at 2-1.
First 30 were very good though. We kept the ball well and had some good interchange. Holmes and Fosu always look dangerous.
Karlan has not been good. Not all of it his fault as he's been a little starved of service, but when the ball goes forward it comes right back. He also got in behind at one point and although it was a difficult chance being muscled by their defender on his left foot he hit it right at the keeper.
Kashi has been everywhere.
Strange game. Could see any number of things happening. It will be very important for us to go out and get our foot on the ball first 5-10 minutes of the game. Oldham look like they can be gotten at at the back.
Yes, a strange game. We looked like world beaters up to their dubious penalty and since then we've fallen apart. Can't understand how it can change just like that. We were lucky to not go in 2-2 as Oldham were literally all over us for the last 15 and not because they were good but we were just awful. Robinson needs to really shake them up in the half time talk or I can see Oldham coming back and winning this.
OLDHAM have the ball, knocking it around the back, Gardener picks out a striker but we step in and clear, JFC gives a free kick away in a dangerous area.
We play towards KAG and they win it, and then attack, and fosu has to defend, they sustain the ball, cross is for Amos to, we try to build and they clear, pearce mistake tho, kashi there, look to KAG and yet again Oldham win the ball
I was behind, caught up - now they have the ball at the back, build up, put a cross in and we get it, Clarke now on the attack, eventually tackled by Gardener. Pearce tries to clear, bad ball, we get away with it as Amos gets it. Kashi, down to KAG, they clear.
Davies goes long, Bauer clears, they pick up the second ball, Gerard chips it up to Davies, Clarke intervenes, now we have it on the build, Fosu takes on Hunt on the right wing, beats his man and finds Kashi, back to Fosu, back to Kashi on the halfway line.
WE are on the back foot, but now break, kashi involved, and solly, fosu run, kashi helps him, fosu again but we are covered, retreat with the ball and can't get it away. A foul, and KAG is going off and here he comes is
Joe Doo Doo Doo Doo cover Josh cos we've lost Lee Joe Doo Doo Doo Doo he's with us 'till Jan ure eee.
Jackson to Clarke, Oldham press up and we go home, Back to JJ, to Kashi, gets fouled and we get a free kick. Sub time - KAG coming off with a knock it seems. Debut for Doddoo

Centre of midfield we seemed to totally lose it.
And I'm all out of gum.
Oldham pass it from deep.
They play a good pass, pearce has to clear. Then JFC fouls in a good place for Oldham.
danger from this.
kashi there, look to KAG and yet again Oldham win the ball
Joe Doo Doo Doo Doo cover Josh cos we've lost Lee
