Thought we started the game brightly 08:34 - Nov 7 with 652 views | tractorboy1978 | But at 1-0 up we gradually just began to coast thinking we weren't in any danger of conceding. We couldn't play with any intensity and the second half barring a spell of 5 minutes we just didn't pin them back at all. Celina was guilty 2/3 times of it opening up for a shot and trying to over play it. A replay at Boundary Park was something we really didn't need, I suspect we will see several changes for that one. Also, anyone any the wiser as to what their penalty was given for?! [Post edited 7 Nov 2021 9:01]

Everyone was expecting a depleted Oldham side, low on confidence with off the field issues, I think that was what went wrong yesterday. In January/Feb when we start to play some of the teams at the bottom of League One, we may have similar expectations to just walk the match, and it just shows you, you can never really tell. Hopefully someone will cut out a newspaper article of this result and stick in our changing room on the wall as a reminder. | |

Pretty flat performance, flat atmosphere. Felt like they fed off each other. Midweek trip to Oldham before Sunderland away on the Saturday isn’t ideal, that’s a lot of travel. | |

I don't think it really stopped his momentum and he didn't really appeal but I think we'd be screaming for it if the other way round. | |

Thought we started the game brightly on 11:45 - Nov 7 with 424 views | SomethingBlue | Yeah, coasting is exactly what we did (and perhaps what our fans did too ... I must certainly admit that after 1-0 I was hoping/expecting four or five). As I put elsewhere, we were fine for 20/25 minutes but then there were a few passages of play that started to breed concern — I remember one sequence down the left where Edwards and Celina both overcomplicated an attack with a couple of flicks that, while not quite showboating, weren't things you'd do if you were 100% going at it. Rang a few alarm bells at the time. We never really got ourselves out of that lull and once an opponent gets a sense of it then you're in for a tough afternoon against anyone. Not bothered in scheme of things but annoying that our attitude wasn't quite right. | |

We do seem to have this complacency just below the surface at all times, don't we? | |

Feels like its been an issue for the entirety of Cooks time here. We generally take the lead in games, but after that.. | | | |
