Have to admit some of their passing was quite nice. The build up to the goal in particular.

I also liked how direct they were when attacking, and got quite wound up that we didn't do that, favouring a slow, trotting along and then turning back approach.

WTF is he talking about?

 

"One of the best teams to come here"?

 

Probably the worst I've seen this season (although I didn't see Tranmere).

 

thats not exactly what he said is it...

 

"Lots of people have give us compliments here saying we're the best team that's come here but that means nothing to me, we've got to be more professional"

 

people have said this to him, not him saying it

Somone I know was sat close to him yesterday at the dug out and could hear him.... their one comment to me was "Dikov.....what an utter tw*t" Nuff said really....clues in the name.

Agreed,an utter spacker.

 

As a player I always viewed him as a poor man's David Speedie. I think it was Dickov who scewed a penalty miles wide against us when playing for Arsenal (in Grobelaar's first game after the 'bung' news broke).Saints won 1-0.

Yep, that was him.

 

My view if Oldham was that they pressed quite well and that caused us problems, but they couldn't keep it up for the whole game. They misplaced an awful lot of passes, and gave us chances by losing possession cheaply. Aside from the goal, I can't actually remember them having any other chances.

Don't forget the shot which led to Kelvin's fingertip save...

Well kelvin had to make two good saves (one earlish in the first half and one at the death of the second). Misplaced passes were the order of the day from both teams on saturday. Oldham where a hard working out fit with a bit of niggle thrown in I could see how they where doing ok in this league. At least they didn't come to play(or rather not play) at SMS like they did last season.

Actually I thought that they were one of the better teams to come here !

I expected them to park 10 men behind the ball, which they didn't, and we were never totally comfortable until the final whistle (Kelvin's last minute save being proof of that!).

The BBC stats give them 52% of possession which amazes me but I thought that their 5 man midfield suppressed our 4 man system for long periods !

To be fair, I struggled to understand much of the article. Some bizarre English language hybrid!

We're scoring but wasting a hell of a lot of good chances. Puncheon alone must be approaching double figures. Even during Pre-match shooting practice I've seen striker after striker & attacking mid spray balls everywhere bar the net.

They weren't as poor as Tranmere but it was a dull game. Oldham took their chances better than we generally have this season despite the result & ref. Kelvin doing what he does best, immense point blank reaction save much like another ex crap kicker (Paul Jones).
