May struggle in midfield today if Isaac is suspended as reported.

A difficult task without him today

A draw will be a good result

[Saughall Robin]

I think Isaac is the the most irreplaceable player we've got.
Just hope this doesn't mean we're going to go with three centre backs and overlapping full backs. If we do, we're going to get overrun. 🤞

i think James Jones will be in midfield a bit like Malarkey did a few seasons ago

[AltyNotFaulty]

You can now see why James Jones is not in this team. Costing almost every time he makes a pass. Cooper & Baines carrying him at the moment. This stream stick thing is quite good though.

A big 2nd half needed and no complacency.

[Amsterdam Alty]

We'd have lost that game last year.

Also how was the lad not sent off for that penalty? Clearly the most dangerous tackle anyone of us will ever see.

[Alty Bri]

It was a pleasure to watch the style of football we deployed today. In fact, it was a really good game between 2 decent play off hopefuls. We need some of our absent bodies back though. I thought everyone played well but a huge shout out for Banks in midfield - him and Osborne were terrific.

[robininstockport]

They could have been done and dusted by HT, some appalling misses.

Banks did ok in midfield but James Jones was Oldhams best player.

Point gained and not lost in 8(?).

Getting players back should see us kick on

[AltyRobin]

Fair result that. Banks was quality in midfield, CCC took his pen well but looked tired when he came off. James Jones was awful and gave the ball away time after time. Desperately miss Linney

[MarpleAlty]

What's the rationale behind playing James Jones to the right of the three?

The two adjacent defenders probably see a bit more of the ball than the central one - or they're certainly required to pick better passes - and he's pretty hopeless with his feet.

[Sarf London Alty]

Take the point there all day, especially being Mellon’s first home game & them wanting a reaction after their humbling at Fylde.

Well done to the club for turning down Rochdale moving it forward to next Saturday too. Definitely need this two weeks break. Squad is very stretched. Have to hope Linney & Kosylo will be involved in some way by Southend at home.

Either that, or gives the club additional time to get some business done - although I can imagine the budget is already pretty stretched, and the Crankshaw write-off can't have helped.

[Saughall Robin]

In retrospect, a trip to Hartlepool (who seem to be coming apart at the seams with the off the field stuff and three defeats in a week) might have been a valuable three points?
Having said that however, a rest for the squad and possibly Linney and Kosylo returning would be fantastic.

Good balanced interview with Parky after this result.

How true this turned out to be. I don't think Lundstrum would have had the same influence had Isaac been present and it may well have tipped things our way.

Some of their fans don't seem that sold on Lundstram yet, in which case they don't deserve him.

The more level headed amongst them that got the best angle of the penalty decision seem to accept that you see them given (even though it was soft), TV angles still very inconclusive.

Most of them seem confident they'll make the playoffs on the basis we were rubbish - I'd be more worried they couldn't dispatch us when we were there for the taking.
