Oldham defensively were good and we couldn't quite get through them, they set up not to concede and it worked on that occasion. So you could say a traditional away cup game set up and they're through to the next round. Not great to watch but it got the job done for them. Our forwards not quite at their best yesterday as others have mentioned.
A floater near me was moaning about lack of subs but we just don't have a strong enough bench at the moment yet to make a difference unfortunately. Linney starting up top and then a fresh winger to come on in the second half would have been ideal but squad not big enough for an impact sub at the mo.
Who's bright idea was it to place the Oldham crowd around our Commentary team?
...so it appears we would have had Newport (A), as our ball number was pre-determined.
Would we have liked that?
Dinanga was never used properly or given a chance by Management unfortunately.
Odd that we are the only place where he's not been prolific??
A decent player and a useful addition in the short term but I can't help but think that a pacy winger would have been a better fit.
Alty press releases describes him as "a free-scoring winger who can also play in central midfield".
